Summary

/ / Person within the meaning of " individual "

In French: a name common female.

The word is probably one of the Etruscan phersu and Latin persona , but already the Greek word prosopon designated the mask worn by actors in the theater , and also for Etruscan and Latin. These masks gave the appearance, each embodied "character". (The film of Bergman , Persona , refers.)

The word "person" evokes the idea of a presence or absence of a "human", and especially of a mutual exchange with another, while an individual is used to designate one as that indivisible, a species. Individual may also have a connotation pejorative depending on context ("this man ...").

Person in linguistics

  • "Person" pronoun used with a meaning close to that of "someone" / "Somebody" regardless of gender.
  • "Do ... Person "means the absence of individuals in a place (" There's nobody here. ") Or subject to liability (" It's nobody's fault "for example). But in common use (including, but not only, in French) there is an ellipsis of "no" so that "person" often means "no person" that is to say the exact opposite. This ambiguity is exploited by wordplay or situations:

"Who assault you? - Nobody! "

In the Odyssey of Homer , People ( / in ancient Greek ) is the name by which the cyclops Polyphemus means Ulysses which has burst the eye. The pun avoids reinforcing the other Cyclops, who believe their congener so mad, being attacked by "person." Ulysses can flee the island of the Cyclops with his sailors.

  • in the film My Name is Nobody , the same idea is repeated. It is a game between the hero and ended one of his young admirers, the notion of fame.
