Book Synopsis Dialect in Aristophanes by : Stephen Colvin
Download or read book Dialect in Aristophanes written by Stephen Colvin and published by Oxford Classical Monographs. This book was released on 1999 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the Greeks find it amusing, irritating or threatening when they heard another Greek speaking in a different dialect? Were they rude or tolerant when they heard Persians or Scythians speaking fractured Greek? And what about low-class varieties of the Greek spoken in the docks of Piraeus?Our evidence for the sociolinguistic culture of the ancient world is sadly limited, and modern linguistic assumptions and prejudices are often unconsciously projected onto old and alien cultures. This book exploits the evidence of ancient Greek comedy in an attempt to answer some of the questionsabout language attitude which are important for understanding ancient ideas about language and ethnicity. Conclusions are based on a comparative study of the language of dialect speaking characters and other foreigners in Old Comedy, and on an examination of linguistic attitudes in other genres ofGreek literature.
Book Synopsis The Languages of Aristophanes by : Andreas Willi
Download or read book The Languages of Aristophanes written by Andreas Willi and published by Oxford Classical Monographs. This book was released on 2003 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining linguistic variation in Aristophanic comedy, Andreas Willi opens up a new perspective on intra-dialectal diversity in Classical Attic Greek. A representative range of registers, technical languages, sociolects, and (comic) idiolects is described and analyzed. Stylistic and statistical observations are combined and supplemented by typological comparisons with material drawn from sociolinguistic research on modern languages. The resulting portrayal of the Attic dialect deepens our understanding of various socio-cultural phenomena reflected in Aristophanes' work.
Book Synopsis The Language of Greek Comedy by : Andreas Willi
Download or read book The Language of Greek Comedy written by Andreas Willi and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2002-10-03 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this volume illustrate how the linguistic study of Greek comedy can deepen our knowledge of the intricate connections between the dramatic texts and their literary and socio-cultural environment. Topics discussed include the relationship of comedy and iambus, the world of Doric comedy in Sicily, figures of speech and obscene vocabulary in Aristophanes, comic elements in tragedy, language and cultural identity in fifth-century Athens, linguistic characterizationin Middle Comedy, the textual transmission of New Comedy, and the interaction of language and dramatic technique in Menander. Research in these topics and in related areas is reviewed in an extensive bibliographical essay.While the main focus is on comedy, the diversity of the approaches adopted (including narratology, pragmatics, lexicology, dialectology, sociolinguistics, and textual criticism) ensures that much of the work applies to different genres and is relevant also to linguists and literary scholars.
Book Synopsis Rhetoric, Comedy, and the Violence of Language in Aristophanes' Clouds by : Daphne Elizabeth O'Regan
Download or read book Rhetoric, Comedy, and the Violence of Language in Aristophanes' Clouds written by Daphne Elizabeth O'Regan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an intelligent and unusually thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan focuses on logos, or the power of argument, and its effects, and on the self-awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed toward an audience made resistant by devotion to the body. Within and without the play, logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature and desire. The argument conveys much insight into fifth-century thought and the play's workings, the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy, and reminds the reader that this is a comic logos--explored in the comic mode, and connected with the intentions and vicissitudes of the first and second Clouds.

Download or read book Aristophanes - The Clouds written by Aristophanes and published by Scribe Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reality is that little is known of Aristophanes actual life but eleven of his forty plays survive intact and upon those rest his deserved reputation as the Father of Comedy or, The Prince of Ancient Comedy. Accounts agree that he was born sometime between 456BC and 446 BC. Many cities claim the honor of his birthplace and the most probable story makes him the son of Philippus of AEgina, and therefore only an adopted citizen of Athens, a distinction which, at times could be cruel, though he was raised and educated in Athens. His plays are said to recreate the life of ancient Athens more realistically than any other author could. Intellectually his powers of ridicule were feared by his influential contemporaries; Plato himself singled out Aristophanes' play The Clouds as a slander that contributed to the trial and condemning to death of Socrates and although other satirical playwrights had also caricatured the philosopher his carried the most weight. His now lost play, The Babylonians, was denounced by the demagogue Cleon as a slander against the Athenian polis. Aristophanes seems to have taken this criticism to heart and thereafter caricatured Cleon mercilessly in his subsequent plays, especially The Knights. His life and playwriting years were undoubtedly long though again accounts as to the year of his death vary quite widely. What can be certain is that his legacy of surviving plays is in effect both a treasured legacy but also in itself the only surviving texts of Ancient Greek comedy.

Book Synopsis Aristophanes' Comedy of Names by : Nikoletta Kanavou
Download or read book Aristophanes' Comedy of Names written by Nikoletta Kanavou and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristophanes, the celebrated Greek comic poet, is famous for his plays on contemporary themes, in which he exercises fierce political satire. Ancient political comedy made ample use of comically significant proper names - much as is the case in modern satire. Comic names used by Aristophanes for his satirical targets (public figures, everyday Athenians) provide the main subject of this book, which addresses questions such as why particular names are chosen (or invented), and how they relate to the plays' characters and themes.
