dc.description.abstractIn this thesis I investigate the linguistic phenomenon of code-switching between Latin and Greek in the letters of Cicero to his friend Atticus. I do this by surveying the individual instances of Greek in the letters to Atticus. I then record the parts of speech, inflections, forms of code-switching, and context each time Cicero uses Greek. With this information I look at patterns within the contexts of the letters in order to discover what the nature of Cicero's code-switching may reveal about his identity, personal and political relationships, and the literary qualities of his letters. I assert that these patterns demonstrate the purposes of code-switching and the cultured game that Cicero plays when he uses Greek and illuminate how code-switching fits into the specific literary function of letters to a close friend.
