Résumé
In this article, the point studied is the nature of “vulgarity” in literature, and how Latin inscriptions and literary texts deal with it. Two manifestations of vulgarity are considered: 1. Vulgarity as expressing triteness of language and of mode of life, but also a lack of culture and good manners; 2. Vulgarity as aggressively defying the conventional proprieties and tackling taboo subjects.
