Incidencia del género epistolar en la lengua y el estilo de las elegias ovidianas del destierro

Abstract

The objective of this article is to point at some of the consequences of the epistolary genre into the language and the style of the exile's ovidian poetry: many homophonies, which make up a sort of "leonines rhymes" between the end of their hemisticles; a very often coincidence of ictus and accent, unlike the scheme in their patterns (Catullus, Propertius and Virgil); and very few enjambments that produce a feeling of monotony, characteristic of the conversational language.
