laconism

To understand stoicism, an inquiry was made of its original meaning related to an ancient Greek philosophical school founded by Zeno of Citium; (6) the term has evolved in its meanings until reaching a modern understanding associated to the attitude that consists in hiding emotions and laconism. Stoicism defined from ethics, praises "submission", citing Ferrater: (7) "happiness lies in accepting destiny, in the struggle against the forces of passion that produce restlessness." Thus, a "rational" person can choose a passive behavior on the face of adversity.

In addition to providing names for new concepts and objects, English loans feature intrinsic linguistic characteristics that represent a comparative advantage: brevity, clear and transparent structure, laconism (compare, for instance, wreck diving with the Romanian loan translation "explorarea epavelor scufundate").

The choice of vocabulary (anguish, fateful, transfix, discern, core) is excellent, as well as the structure of the translation (rhymes and rhythm, laconism) and its graphic layout.

The laconism of the text maximally engages the imagination of the reader who is called upon to come to his own conclusions and to see the heroes' suffering behind their sparsely described behavior.

Contrary to this 'cultural laconism' of the international law on human rights, international conventions on culture and heritage tend to explain what culture really is and why it is so important to individuals, peoples and communities.
