Synchrony and Diachrony of Ancient Greek: Language, Linguistics and Philology: 112 (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes, 112)

This collective volume contains thirty six original studies on various aspects of Ancient Greek language, linguistics and philology written by an international group of leading authorities in the field. The essays are organized in five thematic groups covering a wide variety of issues of ancient Greek linguistics, ranging from epigraphy and the study of individual dialects to various other aspects of the structure of the language, such as phonetics and phonology, morphology, lexicon and word formation, etymology, metrics as well as many syntactic matters and problems of pragmatics and stylistics of the language; a number of essays move in the middle ground where language, linguistics and philology crosscut and cross-fertilize each other with the application of linguistic theory to the study of classical texts. The work is of special relevance to scholars interested in Greek linguistics in general and in particular aspects of the Greek language.- Información editorial Preface Contents List of Figures and Diagrams List of Tables Emilio Crespo Güemes: The Man and the Scholar Publications of Prof. Emilio Crespo Part I: Epigraphy and Dialectology The Ionic of Lampsacus and the Month of Badromion Reflexes of Koineization in Ancient Epirote Feminine Names Women’s Names in the Lesbian Dialect “Nicomachos Made Me!” Palaeography and Self-promotion in Late Archaic Greek Italy Αn Arcadian Man Called Βôθις, or Rather Βόθις?
