Synopsis
Excerpt from The Use of the Adjective as a Substantive in the De Rerum Natura of Lucretius
The transfer of a word ordinarily used as an adjective to the function of a substantive, involves one of the most com mon shifts of category that occur in language, and is abun dantly illustrated by all the indo-european languages. So among the Romans, as new substantive concepts arose new expressions developed for them. Of the various new forms that thus arose the substantivized adjective is one of the most important and most interesting, whether viewed from the point of view of general linguistics or treated as a factor in the historical development of the Latin language.
