  • In this paper, we aim at showing that the concept of 'usus',with in Priscian’s "Deconstructione ("Inst.gram." XVII e XVIII, 6 th c. AD) dissociates itself from the notion of Latinitas from the artes grammaticae, and that, together with the ratio, it has the virtue of explaining phaenomena that theoretically violate the 'logical rules' of language.Thus, in relation to previous Latin grammatical treatises (the artes), ratio and usus are understood differently in the "De constructione"; so are the phaenomena of barbarism and solecism, once understood as 'language vices'.
