SERMOCINATIO
SERMOCINATIO
SERMOCINATIO is the figure which brings forward a person speaking; or when words are adapted to a person, in accordance with his own character and the present object of the writer.-1Co 9:24, , ,-For by these words Paul does not directly exhort the Corinthians, but by a Sermocinatio brings forward that exhortation (incitement), which the Judges and Trainers and spectators in the public games usually employed,-which is the opinion of Bengel in the Gnomon on the passage.
