Historical, Indo-European, and Lexicographical Studies: A Festschrift for Ladislav Zgusta on the Occasion of his 70th Birthday (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM] Book 90)

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing. Introduction 7 Publications of Ladislav Zgusta 11 I.

The nineteenth-century edition of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon which I call my own refers to a controversy as to the correct meaning of polútropos, the adjective modifying the man about whom the Muse is asked to report: According to some scholars the meaning is 'multum iactatus', according to others 'uersatus, uersatilis'. This volume presents Indo-European and general historical studies, running the gamut from phonology to morphology and syntax to etymology and the history of linguistics as well as lexicographical papers and theoretical contributions. Edited By Hans Henrich Hock. Publications Of Ladislav Zgusta: P. 5-45. Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes.
