Mode of speech

  • 1 oratio

    I.
    In gen., the connection of words to express thought:

    non est autem in verbo modus hic, sed in oratione, id est, in continuatione verborum,

    Cic. 3, 42, 167.
    1.
    Speech, the power or faculty of speech, the habit or use of language:

    quae (ferae) sunt rationis et orationis expertes,

    Cic. Off. 1, 16, 50:

    natura vi rationis hominem conciliat homini et ad orationis et ad vitae societatem,

    id. ib. 1, 4, 12.—
    2.
    Speech, language, utterance; opp. to fact, action, etc.:

    lenitudo orationis, mollitudo corporis,

    Cic. Tusc. 5, 16, 46:

    idque videns Epicurus re tollit, oratione relinquit deos,

    id. N. D. 1, 44, 123:

    qui sunt leves locutores... eorum orationem bene existimatum est in ore nasci, non in pectore,

    Gell. 1, 15, 1:

    nam quid te igitur rettulit beneficum esse oratione, si ad rem auxilium emortuum est,

    Plaut. Ep. 1, 2, 19:

    ut in vitā, sic in oratione, nihil est difficilius quam quid deceat videre,

    Cic. Or. 21, 70: qualis homo ipse esset, talem ejus esse orationem;

    orationi autem facta similia, factis vitam,

    id. Tusc. 5, 16, 47:

    partes igitur orationis secundum dialecticos duae, nomen et verbum,

    parts of speech, Prisc. 2, 4, 15.—
    3.
    Hence, a mode of speaking; a kind, manner, style of speech; language:

    quin tu istanc orationem hinc veterem atque antiquam amoves. Nam proletario sermone nunc utere,

    Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 155: nam opulenti cum loquuntur pariter atque ignobiles, eadem dicta eademque oratio aequa non aeque valet, Enn. ap. Gell. 11, 4, 3: quam tibi ex ore orationem duriter dictis dedit, id. ap. Non. p. 512, 8:

    aliam nunc mihi orationem despoliato praedicas,

    Plaut. As. 1, 3, 52: Creta est profecto horum hominum oratio, quam orationem [p. 1275] hanc aures dulce devorant, id. Poen. 5, 2, 9:

    Ter. And. prol. 11.—Esp. (in gram.): oratio obliqua, indirect speech, the use of dependent clauses in citing the language of others:

    4.
    Mode of speech, language, use of language, style:

    mollis est enim oratio philosophorum,

    Cic. Or. 19, 64:

    (fabulae) tenui oratione et scripturā levi,

    Ter. Phorm. prol. 5:

    ut Stoicorum est astrictior oratio aliquantoque contractior, quam aures populi requirunt, sic illorum (Peripateticorum) liberior et latior, quam patitur consuetudo judiciorum et fori,

    Cic. Brut. 31, 120:

    orationem Latinam efficies profecto legendis nostris pleniorem,

    id. Off. 1, 1, 2; cf. id. ib. 1, 1, 1.—
    5.
    Esp., the language of any people or nation:

    Timaeus in historiis quas oratione Graecā composuit,

    Gell. 11, 1, 1:

    semper cum Graecis Latina (exempla) conjunxi... ut par sis in utriusque orationis facultate,

    Cic. Off. 1, 1, 1.—
    II.
    In partic., formal language, artificial discourse, set speech (opp. to sermo, ordinary speech, conversational language):

    mollis est oratio philosophorum et umbratilis, nec verbis instructa popularibus nec vincta numeris, sed soluta liberius: itaque sermo potiusquam oratio dicitur. Quamquam enim omnis locutio oratio est, tamen unius oratoris locutio hoc proprio dignata nomine est,

    Cic. Or. 19, 64; cf.:

    et quoniam magna vis orationis est eaque duplex, altera contentionis, altera sermonis, contentio disceptationibus tribuatur judiciorum, contionum, senatus, sermo in circulis, disputationibus, congressionibus familiarium versetur, sequatur etiam convivia,

    id. Off. 1, 37, 132.—Hence,
    B.
    A set speech, harangue, discourse, oration:

    (oratio) ut gravis, ut suavis, ut erudita sit, ut liberalis, ut polita, ut sensus, ut doloris habeat quantum opus sit, non est singulorum articulorum: in toto spectantur haec corpore, etc.,

    Cic. de Or. 3, 25, 96; cf.

    the context: illam orationem disertam sibi et oratoriam videri, fortem et virilem non videri,

    id. ib. 1, 54, 231:

    hanc habere orationem mecum principio institit,

    Ter. Hec. 3, 3, 21:

    pleraeque scribuntur orationes habitae jam, non ut habeantur,

    Cic. Brut. 24, 91:

    non est haec oratio habenda apud imperitam multitudinem,

    id. Mur. 29, 61:

    ignarus faciundae ac poliendae orationis,

    id. de Or. 1, 14, 63:

    in orationibus hisce ipsis judiciorum, contionum, senatus,

    id. ib. 1, 16, 73:

    quanta illa, di immortales, fuit gravitas, quanta in oratione majestas! sed adfuistis, et est in manibus oratio,

    qui orationem adversus rem publicam habuissent, eorum bona in publicum adducebat,

    tantam vim habet illa, quae recte a bono poëtā dicta est, flexamina atque omnium regina rerum oratio, ut non modo inclinantem excipere aut stantem inclinare, sed etiam adversantem ac repugnantem ut imperator fortis ac bonus capere possit,

    Cic. de Or. 2, 44, 187:
