Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research investigated the mutual influence of Greek and Roman rhetorical tradition. Rhetoric in these two worlds has often been understood as a unified theoretical system and the problem of how its numerous variants according to ages, regions and languages influenced each other tended to be ignored. This research concentrated mainly on the imperial era, when Roman rhetoric had already reached its maturity, and showed precisely the diachronic change of mutual influence between rhetorical theories which belonged to these two different regions and languages by studying their common features and differences.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、ギリシアとローマという異なる地域・言語の修辞学の相互作用を時代を追いつつ跡づけることで、修辞学理論史の再構築に寄与したという点にある。さらに広い文脈においては本研究は、現実と乖離し硬直した理論としばしば見なされがちな修辞学が、どのように現実社会と関係しそれに対処していったかについて一つの視点を提示した。こうした視点は、社会制度一般と、そこで形成される教育体系や文芸活動とがどのように相互に関わるかを考察している点で、社会的意義を有すると考えられる。
