A Companion to the Ancient Greek Language
In this Companion, an eminent team of international scholars present a comprehensive account of the Ancient Greek language from its Indo-European origins to its transition into Modern Greek. A series of original chapters come together as an authoritative overview of the language from a variety of historical, geographical, sociolinguistic, and literary perspectives.
The work includes discussions on the survival and transmission of Ancient Greek and the materials on which original texts from antiquity have been preserved. In addition, a set of chapters is devoted to discussions of typology, including aspects such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. This wide-ranging collection will be valued by classicists and linguists alike.
