Sinossi
Excerpt from The Sounds and Inflections of the Greek Dialects: Ionic
The method that has been pursued in treating the forms as purely linguistic phenomena calls for a few words of explanation. As it has not been my purpose to write a Comparative Grammar from the point of view of Ionic, I have rarely endeavoured to trace the forms back to the pre-hellenic stage. Ionic has been compared throughout with other dialects, especially Attic. Because of its perpio'rns and Kowo'rqs, Attic is, and will continue to be, the standard by which philologians measure the manifold 'aberrations' of dialects less highly developed, or less adapted than itself to serve as vehicles for the expression of Hellenic thought. To the mention of difficult forms I have added brief explanations in the belief that these would prove of service to English and American students of Greek grammar. Many of these explanations refer to articles scattered up and down in the various journals or in monographs not always easy of access. The student may find here and there in the following pages a contribution to the solution of some of these difficulties, the existence of which has constantly been emphasized; but in crossing the frontier of disputed questions I have attempted only to bring the book to the level of the comparative grammar of to-day, and, while confessing my inability to arrive at a decision when the evidence seemed insufficient, to set forth briefly and criticize existing theories.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the sounds and inflections of the Ionic dialect of the Greek language, as a whole and in its various regional variations. Ionic was the language of an important confederation of twelve ancient Greek cities on the western coast of Asia Minor, the islands of the Cyclades, and Euboea. These regions were part of a rich cultural tapestry and gave rise to significant advancements in arts and philosophy, including the birth of epic poetry. Yet, for all its historical and cultural significance, the Ionic dialect has been neglected in modern scholarship, with much of our knowledge still coming from ancient sources rather than a modern, comprehensive analysis. This book seeks to change that, offering a thoroughly modern study of Ionic and its place in the broader development of the Greek language. It is an indispensable tool for scholars of Greek linguistics and philology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333897857_0
