Abstract


The logical end of one act or fact is only one, but in human language it is not the same. So, in the Latin system of adverbs there are four words: denique, postremo, tandem and demum that mean the termination of one thing in a different way. Among all of these words and with respect to the end there is a privative opposition: denique, postremo and tandem vs. demum; the last word is the unmarked term Furthermore, we can find a gradual opposition in the other three adverbs, whose term less marked is denique, and the most one is demum, the only word of the four which always means the real end.
