Abstract

BASILE, Gastón Javier. El término bárbaros: un análisis discursivo de los testimonios tempranos. Argos [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.2, pp.113-134. ISSN 1853-6379.

The paper reexamines individually the sparse pre-classical sources containing the term bárbaros. The analysis of the extant archaic evidence adopts a discursive approach -which encompasses morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse-pragmatic features- in an attempt to shed light on the still much-debated origin of the word bárbaros and, notably, on the manifold semantic connotations the word bárbaros later acquires as its use becomes pervasive in the aftermath of the Persian wars.

Keywords : Archaic evidence; Discursive analysis.
