This is the first systematic analysis of Aristotle's concept of lexis. Ana Kotarcic argues that it should be approached on three interconnected levels: the first dealing with language as a system, the second with actual language usage, into which sociolinguistic factors come into play, and the third with prescriptions for the kind of language to be used in poetic and rhetorical compositions. She introduces ideas and concepts from classics and modern linguistics into the analysis alongside the philosophical approaches which have prevailed until now. The results reveal that Aristotle's ideas on lexis are complex, well-developed and intimately connected to many other fundamental concepts in his works, such as aret?, energeia, ?thos, logos, mim?sis, pathos, phantasia and techn?. A major component of his thought is therefore illuminated comprehensively for the first time.

Ma commande est arrivé en moins de 2 semaines, dans un emballage qui n’est pas abîmé tout comme la figurine qui n’a aucun défauts, il y a tous les accessoires. Je recommande de l’acheter à 100% de plus ce site est l’un des seuls sites vraiment fiables où vous trouverez cette figurine à un bon prix et une très bonne qualité sachant qu’elle commence à être en rupture de stock. PS: achetez cette figurine uniquement ici, je l’avais commandé sur Amaz*n pour un peu moins cher pour au final recevoir autre chose et donc me faire arnaquer. Sinon super bonne expérience avec YACHEW je rachèterai sûrement.
I bought two Star Wars X-Wing expansions from Yachew. One expansion arrived damaged, but Paul from Customer Services was fantastic, quickly refunding me. I've got to say that Yachew's customer service is amongst the best I've encountered and I can't wait to shop with them again!
