(Silence on) Adverbs in Plutarch Plat. Quaest. 10

Résumé

In order to justify the Platonic formula that speech results from the blend of nounsand verbs,Plutarchtriesto demonstrate that all other kinds of words are not autonomous parts of speech (tenth platōnikon zētēma). Strangely enough, he does not discuss adverbs, even while they were recognised by Alexandrinian grammarians, as he himself seems to acknowledge when he mentions them at the very beginning of his discussion. We will try to show that adverbs are not victims of an involuntary omission. Plutarch based his overall demonstration on a strictly grammatical understanding of Plato’s metaphysical viewpoint; he is therefore forced not to discuss adverbs, since they possess peculiar morpho-semantic features which could show the inconsistency of his reconstruction.
