Scholars working on literature, linguistics, theatre will find interesting insights on verbal and non-verbal uses of language in ancient Greek and Roman Drama. Comedies and tragedies spanning from the 5th century B.C.E. to the 1st century C.E. are investigated in terms of im\/politeness, theory of mind, interpersonal pragmatics, body language, to name some of the approaches which afford new interpretations of difficult textual passages or shed new light into nuances of characterisation, or possibilities of performance. Words, silence, gestures, do things, all the more so in dramatic dialogues on stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors    Introduction   Gunther Martin, Federica Iurescia, Severin Hof and Giada Sorrentino    Part 1 Verbal Communication I: Doing Things with Words    How To Do Things with (ἐ)κεῖνος and αὐτός in Tragedy: Initial Suggestions   Anna Bonifazi    Pointing to Common Ground in Dramatic Dialogue: The Case of δή and τοι   Rutger J.
