ACCLAMATIO 總結法
插入總結感嘆法 METALINGUISTIC COMMENT in the form of a summary emphatic evocation of the overall significance or import of one's narrative or argument.
Greek: Epiphonema.
The almost parenthetic literary pose in which an author steps back from writing his work to take an overall perspective on what he is doing in his work as a whole is of immense importance in intellectual history. In Plato one has to go to his letters for this perspective, but in Aristotle one begins to have incidental almost parenthetic asides on what his whole work in on about.

EX: Virgil, Aen. 1.33 tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem.
Greek/Latin: Quintilian 8.5.11 est enim epiphonema rei narratae vel probatae summa acclamatio. Typically emotionally loaded. Cf. Hermogenes' work peri; ejpifwnhvmato" Peri epiphoneematos. Occasionally discussed in the literature, the phenomenon is ubiquitous.
Ancient Chinese: Extremely common in the form of quotation is a conclusion drawn from what is said. Often introduced by gu4 yue1 故曰 . However, such phrases are most typically used to link text into surrounding and typically earlier authoritative textual tradition. The phenomenon seems very different from the prototypical cases of ACCLAMATIO.
Interestingly, the combination 故曰 does not occur in LY.
NB: The acclamatory mode of thought refuses to see the world as a cumulative set of facts and events but demands an overall emotional or intellectual message.
