On page 4, in Section 2, in the long quotation, the words ”Hellenism”, “Latinism”, “Hebraism”, “Anglicism”, and “Marotism” have been changed to an italicized format:

Imitation, according to Pierre Fontanier, is a figure that “consists of imitating a turn of phrase, a sentence construction, from another language; or a turn of phrase, a sentence construction, that is no longer in use.
