Abstract: A use of the nominative personal pronouns ego and tu is discussed. Ego and tu are not necessarily emphatic or contrastive, but may be attached to emphatic, focused or preferential terms which stand at the head of a clause. The function of the pronoun in such cases seems to be much the same as that of certain patterns of intonation in English. The pronoun highlights the emphatic term on which it hangs. Given its function, the usage certainly belonged to speech, which in the paper means educated speech. The distribution of certain patterns (e.g. verb + ego : credo ego etc.) is discussed in republican and Augustan poetry. It is shown that Catullus (in hendecasyllables and elegiac verse) readily admits patterns which there is reason to believe were commonplace in speech, whereas the practice of Augustan poetry is more variable. Ovid in particular goes far beyond the norms of speech, both in displacing the unit focused term + ego/tu from initial position, and developing complex forms of hyperbaton around the pronoun

TL;DR: The use of two forms of hyperbaton that derive from Greek syntax, embedded sentences and the placing at the start of a sentence material that normally comes later are often found in Hopkins's creative work as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This article begins by examining Hopkins's study of Greek and Latin at Highgate School and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he got a First in both Mods and Greats. In 1884 Hopkins was appointed Professor of Greek at University College, Dublin, and planned—but did not complete—a large number of research projects: these included work on Homer, Aeschylus, and Sophocles. Greek themes are often found in Hopkins's creative work. Especially important in Hopkins's poems is the use of two forms of hyperbaton that derive from Greek syntax, embedded sentences and the placing at the start of a sentence material that normally comes later.

TL;DR: In Vedic the poetic phonetic focusing on a name both directly and obliquely in an anagram has a poetic syntactic analogue: constituents may either adjoin one another or be separated by other elements of the sentence (hyperbaton).
Abstract: In Vedic the poetic phonetic focusing on a name both directly and obliquely in an anagram has a poetic syntactic analogue: constituents may either adjoin one another or be separated by other elements of the sentence (hyperbaton). Both phenomena are manifestations of an opposition of overt vs. covert constituency. A particular Vedic instantiation of the latter is the distraction of clause-initial sa, with either third- or second-person reference, from the name or antecedent to which it refers and from its verbal predicate. These figures are Common Indo-Iranian. The Greek choral lyric poet Pindar gives evidence for both phonetic anagram and the same syntactic hyperbaton of the determiner-article o, the cognate of sd, which in context suggests common stylistic inheritance.

TL;DR: In the second part of the article, some examples of r hyperbaton are examined, particularly Epistulae 1,20,25 me primis urbis belli placuisse domique to show how the poet has made a double reference, making a discreet allusion to his military service in the army of Brutus as well as his friendship with Maecenas and Augustus as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: This article is divided in two parts. In the first, ααλλλλοοίίωωσσιισσ is considered as a figure which in poetry corresponds with solecism in prose just as metaplasm corresponds with barbarism, and the group of figures which is ranged around ααλλλλοοίίωωσσιισσ such as hysteron proteron, hyperbaton, hypallagee is studied. Since ααλλλλοοίίωωσσιισσ means not only a particular figure, but also a group of figures, it is a matter of stylistic tools employed as tags in a more or less mechanical way to achieve special effects. Among Latin grammarians and rhetoricians, hyperbaton became a sort of general trope used to indicate a change in word order. In the second part of the article, some examples ofr hyperbaton are examined, particularly Epistulae 1,20,25 me primis urbis belli placuisse domique to show how the poet has made of this a double reference, making a discreet allusion to his military service in the army of Brutus as well as his friendship with Maecenas and Augustus.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the hyperbaton as a cross point between grammar and rhetoric, from the conception of recte dicendi, characteristic of grammar, and the one of the bene diciendi, which defines rhetoric.
Abstract: The work I put into consideration is an advance in a research upon word order that involves the study of the hyperbaton.Our analysis stems from the consideration of hyperbaton as a cross or meeting point between grammar and rhetoric, from the conception of recte dicendi , characteristic of grammar, and the one of the bene dicendi , which defines rhetoric. Hyperbaton can be placed in these two lines of the studies of Latin antiquity, with proper and distinctive, though also convergent features, due to the fact that it constitutes a figure registered in the order of words, in a language with a natural word order without major restrictions, and, on the other hand, because the disquisitions about style in which it is framed, the demarcations and constraints from both virtutes and vitia are important; in a last stage, the analysis aims to spot the conception of the hyperbaton in regard to the effects that are expected to be exerted on
