The <br>phenomenon of ancient sigmatism, i.e. the accumulation of consonants in <br>a particular verse of a poem, is going to be outlined at the very beginning of this <br>article. Then sound effects will be discussed, mainly those based on the analysis of <br>sigmatism present in the prooemium of the treaty on hunting entitled Cynegetica. <br>The abovementioned poem was written by Nemesianus, a Carthaginian poet living <br>in the second half of the 3rd century AD. The article is an attempt to determine <br>whether there is any connection between the phonetics and the meaning of the <br>analysed poem. Moreover, the article’s authors would like to answer the question <br>if repeated use of ‘s’ in particular verses of the Cynegetica prooemium proclaims <br>negative events or shocking emotions</p>}, number={2}, journal={Colloquia Litteraria}, author={Kucz, Anna and Gryksa, Edyta}, year={2022}, month={mar.}, pages={125–139} }
