Apart from the age of the text, the reason why this paper fits into the linguistic economy of Brittany is that the text itself, the language of the play, has some interesting peculiarities. The author uses the language to the full, exploring its limits with a virtuosity that is hard to match, and uses a number of devices to change the meaning of words. He creates a new language that is different from the common language, yet perfectly identical in form. |
