-classic o classical?-

-classic o classical?-
Nota d'uso
L'aggettivo classic significa “classico” nel senso di “esemplare, tipico”: a classic example of 1930s Art Deco, un classico esempio di Art Deco degli anni '30; the classic religious allegory «Pilgrim's Progress», la classica allegoria religiosa «Pilgrim's Progress». Il sostantivo classic viene usato con lo stesso senso, cioè si riferisce a un libro (o un film, ecc.) che è diventato punto di riferimento. Classics sono gli studi classici e le opere che ne compongono il patrimonio culturale.
Invece, l'aggettivo classical si usa per cose che hanno forma o stile tradizionali, in contrapposizione a quelli moderni: classical architecture, architettura classica; classical music si riferisce alla musica colta dei secoli XVIII e XIX. Classical si riferisce anche allo studio delle lingue e letterature classiche: Classical Studies è sinonimo di Classics, studi classici.
