This article examines the practical manifestation of
laconism, the art of expressing thoughts briefly and concisely in
speech and literature. This style has ancient roots and ensures
that sentences are short, succinct, and meaningful. The article
discusses and comparatively analyzes the role and significance
of this style in linguistics and literary studies. It considers the
theoretical foundations, methodological principles, and specific
features of laconism. The fact that the laconic style has been
studied and illustrated with examples by many scholars in both
literature and linguistics supports our argument. Based on the
information presented, we can assert that the term “brevity” or
“laconicism” is widely used not only in literary studies but also
in linguistics, and can even be studied as the subject of specific
research, as scientifically substantiated in this study.
Additionally, the research explores how the laconic style
manifests in literature, which genres it serves as an essential
element in creating, and which styles it acts as an intermediary
for. The article comparatively analyzes the relationships and
similarities between the laconic style and terms such as
“minimalism,” “Iceberg Theory,” ellipsis, and the phenomenon
of compression. Furthermore, it examines the sequence of
genres in literature that are suitable and appropriate for the
laconic style. The research employs comparative-typological
and contextual analysis methods.
