Abstract

The lexical enrichment of the traditional Latin vocabulary through the creation of new figurative senses has been noted by several scholars as an important feature of the language of the Christian latin authors. In this paper we make an attempt at clasifying the different methods used by these authors to create new metaphoric meanings in the particular field of agricultural Roman vocabulary. We also try to explain these transformations according to the different changes of contextual or syntactic categories. Although some of these processes can incidentally be found in classical writers, it is under the influence of the new theological or poetical works that the ancient words acquire a figurative sense that often survives even in modern languages.
