Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Comprendere il significato della parola gioco in tutte le sue sfumature implica un percorso a ritroso nel tempo, che ci porta a considerare l’origine di questo vocabolo nella lingua latina e ad affrontare la storia del termine iocus attraverso l’esame dei documenti della latinita arcaica, classica e tarda. All’indagine testuale si affianca un’analisi linguistica di tipo semantico-lessicale, volta a individuare i tempi e le cause della scomparsa della parola ludus, che tanta parte ha avuto e continua ad avere nella nostra cultura. La trasmigrazione di alcuni caratteri propri del significato di ludus in iocus crea un termine “nuovo”, che, alle soglie del medio evo, prende campo nelle abitudini linguistiche quotidiane. Attraverso la storia dei nomi latini del gioco traspaiono e si impongono una visione e una cultura del ludus del tutto inedite nella loro interezza. Avvenimenti storici, entita culturali e fenomeni linguistici si intrecciano in una storia di parole che e anche una storia della ludicita.
