Colon (punctuation)
The colon is a punctuation mark consisting of two equally sized dots aligned vertically. A colon often precedes an explanation, a list, or a quoted sentence. It is also used between hours and minutes in time, between certain elements in medical journal citations, Chapters and verses of the Bible, chapter and verse in Bible citations, and, in the US, for salutations in business letters and other formal letter, formal letter writing. History In Ancient Greek, in rhetoric and meter (poetry), prosody, the term (', 'limb, member of a body') did not refer to punctuation, but to a member or section of a complete thought or passage; see also ''Colon (rhetoric)''. From this usage, in palaeography, a colon is a clause or group of clauses written as a line in a manuscript.''Oxford English Dictionary'', 1st ed. "colon, ''n.²''" Oxford University Press (Oxford), 1891. In the 3rd century BC, Aristophanes of Byzantium is alleged to have devised Greek punctuation, a punctuation system, in ...

Colon (rhetoric)
A colon (from Greek: , ''pl.'' , ''cola''.) is a rhetorical figure consisting of a clause which is grammatically, but not logically, complete. In Latin, it is called a ''membrum'' or ''membrum orationis''. Sentences consisting of two cola are called ''dicola''; those with three are '' tricola''. The corresponding adjectives are ''dicolic'' and ''tricolic''; ''colic'' is not used in this sense. In writing, these cola are often separated by colons. An isocolon is a sentence composed of cola of equal syllabic length. The Septuagint used this system in the poetic books such as the Psalms. When Jerome translated the books of the Prophets, he arranged the text colometrically. The colometric system was used in bilingual codices of New Testament, such as Codex Bezae and Codex Claromontanus. Some Greek and Latin manuscripts also used this system, including Codex Coislinianus and Codex Amiatinus The Codex Amiatinus (also known as the Jarrow Codex) is considered the best-preserved man ...

Isocolon
Isocolon is a rhetorical scheme in which Parallelism (rhetoric), parallel elements possess the same number of words or syllables. As in any form of Parallelism (rhetoric), parallelism, the pairs or series must enumerate like things to achieve symmetry. The scheme is called bicolon, tricolon, or tetracolon depending on whether they are two, three, or four parallel elements.''Dizionario di retorica e stilistica'', UTET, Toino, 2004. Etymology The term, a compound of ''ísos'' 'equal' and ''kôlon'' 'member, clause' was used in the classical Greek rhetorical literature: The Greek plural is 'isocola', but 'isocolons' is also used in English. Bicolon An example of bicolon is the advertising slogan "buy one, get one free" (you pay for one item but you get another free). In Biblical poetry it is standard to see a pair of adjacent lines of poetry in which the second echoes the meaning of the first.Tremper Longman, Peter Enns, ''Dictionary of the Old Testament: wisdom, poetry & writ ...

Colonus (person)
In the late Roman Empire and the Early Middle Ages a ''colonus'' (plural: ''coloni'') was a tenant farmer. Known collectively as the "colonate", these farmers operated as sharecroppers, paying landowners with a portion of their crops in exchange for use of their farmlands. The ''colonis tenant-landlord relationship eventually degraded into one of debt and dependence. As a result, the ''colonus'' system became a new type of land tenancy, placing the occupants in a state between freedom and slavery. The ''colonus'' system can be considered a predecessor of European feudal serfdom. History In Italy, much of the agricultural land was leased to tenants. There was a concept in place that allowed the tenants to have tenure on the land, even though they were not the owners. Tax liabilities went with the sales of a land plot, but most of the taxed public land in Italy was leased rather than owned. Therefore, many of the taxes were imposed upon the tenants rather than the land owner ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
