A historical Greek reader : Mycenaean to the Koiné

.
(2007)

Abstract

Ä Historical Greek Reader provides an introduction to the history of the ancient Greek language by means of a series of texts with linguistic commentary, cross-referenced to each of he and to a reference grammar at the front. It offers a selection of epigraphic and literary texts from the Mycenaean period (roughly the fourteenth century B.C.) to the koine (the latest text dates to the second century A.D.), and includes a wide range of Greek dialect texts." "The book finishes with an account of the linguistic and sociolinguistic background of koine Greek. The commentary assumes no prior knowledge of Greek historical linguistics, but provides a basic amount of up-to-date bibliography so that advanced students and others can pursue linguistic issues at greater depth where necessary."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
