Implication

Analysis of parental terms by Roman authors shows limited usage, suggesting language trends in literature.

Abstract

Caesar. Many of the authors of the Republican period, such as Caesar, have used words of parenthood so infrequently that figures indicating the number of instances of each word in such authors have small significance. Table V shows the number of times Caesar employs each of the three words in each case. The nominative singular to the ablative plural are to be read from left to right with the total last.
