The PRAGMÁFANES research group establishes its primary objective and field of study as the conversational language of Ancient Greek and Latin, placing particular emphasis on dramatic texts (Comedy, Tragedy, and Satyr Play). These are conceptualized as privileged loci for the analysis of verbal interaction within dialogic contexts. Concurrently, the group extends its investigative purview to other genres such as oratory, Platonic dialogues and the like (Lucian of Samosata, for example), wherein conversational and dialogic components are manifest to varying degrees. The group adopts an integrative linguistic and philological framework, synthesizing syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analyses with the most recent advancements in the fields of linguistics and pragmatics. Its research endeavors are directed towards the methodological renewal of studies regarding conversational language and colloquial registers in Ancient Greek and Latin; Conversational Analysis proper; the examination of phenomena such as verbal politeness and impoliteness, pragmatic attenuation and intensification, discourse markers, extra-sentential and peripheral elements, the interplay between linguistic form,...The PRAGMÁFANES research group establishes its primary objective and field of study as the conversational language of Ancient Greek and Latin, placing particular emphasis on dramatic texts (Comedy, Tragedy, and Satyr Play).

Furthermore, the group addresses the implications of these studies for translation, textual criticism, university pedagogy, and knowledge transfer to society.

NO DETERMINADA
- To develop an updated methodological model for the analysis of conversational language in Ancient Greek and Latin, integrating philological, pragmatic, and discourse-based perspectives.
- To systematically analyse the linguistic mechanisms of verbal interaction in ancient drama and other dialogic genres, with particular attention to verbal politeness and impoliteness, pragmatic attenuation and intensification, face management; and the linguistic expression of verbal humor.
- To analyse and reinterpret markers of fictionalized orality, identifying pragmatic functions in situ rather than through mere lexical lists.
- To contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between language, communicative action and scenic and situational context in Ancient Comedy and Tragedy.
- To apply research results to the translation, editing and commentary of classical texts, as well as to innovation in university teaching, promoting an understanding of grammar that integrates syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
- To promote interdisciplinary collaboration and the transfer of knowledge to other fields of study and to society.
