Résumé
After an overlook on the different ways Heaut. 46 has been understood, this article explains the meaning of the words pura oratio by putting them into a double context : the meanings and uses of the word oratio in Plautus and Terence’s comedies, and the prologue of the Heautontimoroumenos, where Terence makes fun by referring to the judicial context. The two meanings of oratio which can be brought out ¢ oratio as verbal interaction aiming to be efficient, and as rhetorical speech said by an orator (meaning that seems not to appear in Plautus’ comedies but in Terence’s) ¢ allow us to explain the words pura oratio and the interactions between the characters of the Heautontimoroumenos using a double point of view, combining rhetoric with playfulness.
