The regularity with which Latin expressions are present in current communication (in media, scientific, artistic discourse, etc.) entitles us to state that, being part of the elitist speech culture of "homo loquens", they arouse interest today, at just as in Antiquity, both by content and by a functional character. Anchored in actuality, Latin expressions are subject to transformations, modifications, additions, so as to correspond to communication needs. Through the change of accents, which occurs when the author resorts to the adaptation of a Latin maxim/expression to contemporary realities, a reevaluation of the model can be proposed, but also can be reached comic effects, as our research corpus demonstrates. Since they represent the quintessence of the cultural experience of the ancient world, Latin expressions continue to be used successfully in an era of globalization.
