Topos (English spelling)

Japanese: トポス(英語表記)topos
Topos (English spelling)
Originally, it is a Greek word meaning a place. It does not simply mean a physical space, but since Aristotle, it has also meant a rhetorical place, that is, a basic form of argument when discussing something, or a place where topics are stored. In English, it simply means a common expression or theme. The reason this word became important in the fields of literature and thought was because thematic theory became active in structuralism.

Japanese:
元来は,場所を意味するギリシア語。単に物理学的な空間を意味するだけでなく,アリストテレス以来,修辞論上の場所,すなわち何かを論じる際の基本的論述形式,あるいは論題を蓄えている場所をもいう。英語ではズバリ月並みな表現・主題を意味する。この語が文学・思想の分野で重視されるようになったのは,構造主義においてテーマ論が活発になったためである。
