Abstract


This paper analyses the use that Martial makes of antonymy in Book I of his Epigrams. The study reveals that this lexical resource stands out as a major stylistic device in Martial’s epigrammatic work: almost 25 % of the 118 epigrams in Book I resort to antonymy in the construction of their characteristic witty endings. The study goes on to show that the same pairs of antonyms – or very similar ones – can be found throughout the rest of Martial’s Epigrams.
