G. 5, 37: sermonis aditum cum aliquo habere, id. ib. 5, 41: nullum tibi omnino cum Albinovano sermonem ullā de re fuisse, Cic. Vatin. 1, 3; id. de Or. 2, 73, 296: erat in ore, in sermone omnium, id.

Rep. 1, 11, 17; cf. id. ib. 1, 13, 19: in sermonem ingredi (just before: in disputationem ingredi), id. ib. 1, 24, 38: (Scaevola) exposuit nobis sermonem Laelii de amicitiā habitum ab illo secum ... Ejus disputationis sententias memoriae mandavi, etc.... ut tamquam a praesentibus haberi sermo videretur, id. Lael. 1, 3: rebus his, de quibus hic sermo est, id.

II Transf., a manner of speaking, mode of expression, language, style, diction, etc. (cf. lingua): sermone eo debemus uti, qui notus est nobis, ne, ut quidam Graeca verba inculcantes jure optimo rideamur, Cic. Off. 1, 31, 111: cujus (Terentii) fabellae propter elegantiam sermonis putabantur a C. Laelio scribi, id. Att. 7, 3, 10: et sane quid est aliud vetus sermo quam vetus loquendi consuetudo? Quint. 1, 6, 43; 12, 2, 3.—
