Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is yet another investigation of grammatical voice in Classical Greek, but this time with a twist and a chaser. It will be based on empirical evidence collected from 44 original Classical Greek texts by 15 different authors. As such, the results of this investigation could not be any clearer: after decades of intensive research by generations of modern linguists, no one has even come close to scratching the surface of grammatical voice in Classical Greek. This is particularly disappointing, since Classical Greek was the very first language for which the category grammatical voice was established and one would expect this language, among all others, to be the most researched. It is furthermore rather disappointing that, as far as we can determine, not a single modern linguist has ever actually read what Thrax wrote about grammatical voice in Classical Greek, what the later Greek grammarians wrote, much of which represented commentaries on Thrax, and what the Roman grammarians wrote about grammatical voice in Latin. Our investigation revealed at least 6 distinct morphological means of expressing grammatical voice as well as numerous ways grammatical voice is combined and exploited in Classical Greek. But perhaps the most important result of our investigation was the discovery of 24 distinct grammatical expressions (syntactic constructions) that can have the sense of the passive, 9 of which were main clause constructions, 11 were subordinate clause constructions and 4 were nominalizations. More interesting was the discovery that in 14 of these expressions grammatical voice was morphologically expressed twice. Yet, there is no empirically valid evidence nor scientifically and logically sound argument that could possibly support the contention of their being passive morphology in the Classical Greek language.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek by : Evert van Emde Boas
Download or read book The Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek written by Evert van Emde Boas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-scale reference grammar of Classical Greek in English in a century. The first work of its kind to reflect significant advances in linguistics made in recent decades, it provides students, teachers and academics with a comprehensive yet user-friendly treatment. The chapters on phonology and morphology make full use of insights from comparative and historical linguistics to elucidate complex systems of roots, stems and endings. The syntax offers linguistically up-to-date descriptions of such topics as case usage, tense and aspect, voice, subordinate clauses, infinitives and participles. An innovative section on textual coherence treats particles and word order and discusses several sample passages in detail, demonstrating new ways of approaching Greek texts. Throughout the book numerous original examples are provided, all with translations and often with clarifying notes. Clearly laid-out tables, helpful cross-references and full indexes make this essential resource accessible to users of all levels.
Book Synopsis The Middle Voice in Ancient Greek by : Rutger Allan
Download or read book The Middle Voice in Ancient Greek written by Rutger Allan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allan, Rutger The Middle Voice in Ancient Greek. A Study of Polysemy. 2003 The great variety of usage types of the middle voice in Ancient Greek has excited the interest of generations of classical scholars. A number of intriguing questions, however, still have been left unanswered. What is the exact relation between the various middle usage types? How can the semantic element common to all usage types be defined? What is the relation between the middle voice and the passive voice in the aorist and future stems? To provide an answer to these questions, this study takes a novel approach. Following recent developments in Cognitive Linguistics, the middle voice in Ancient Greek is analysed as a polysemous network category. This approach results in a unified description of the semantics of the middle voice which also accounts for diachronical developments. ASCP 11 (2003), 286 p. Cloth - 79.00 EURO, ISBN: 9050633684

Download or read book The Syntax and Semantics of the Verb in Classical Greek written by Albert Rijksbaron and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The verb is, in any language, the motor of all communication: no verb, no action. In Greek, verb forms change not only with person, number, tense, and voice, but in four possible moods as well. Available now in a special reprint for the North American market, The Syntax and Semantics of the Verb in Classical Greek is an incomparable resource to students and scholars charged with the considerable task of untangling the Greek language’s many complexities. With clear, concise instruction, Albert Rijksbaron shows how the various verb forms contribute to the richness of the Greek literature as we know it, in this essential guide for both novices and experienced practitioners. “[This study] belongs in the library of any Hellenist and any linguist interested in ancient Greek.”—Classics Newsletter (Anzeiger für die Altertumswissenschaft) “Every use is described with concision and clarity.”—Kratylos “The book offers an example of how the empirical thoroughness of traditional Classical scholarship can be brought into contact with general linguistic theory.”—Language

Book Synopsis The Greek Verb Revisited by : Steven E. Runge
Download or read book The Greek Verb Revisited written by Steven E. Runge and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 799 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 25 years, debate regarding the nature of tense and aspect in the Koine Greek verb has held New Testament studies at an impasse. The Greek Verb Revisited examines recent developments from the field of linguistics, which may dramatically shift the direction of this discussion. Readers will find an accessible introduction to the foundational issues, and more importantly, they will discover a way forward through the debate. Originally presented during a conference on the Greek verb supported by and held at Tyndale House and sponsored by the Faculty of Divinity of Cambridge University, the papers included in this collection represent the culmination of scholarly collaboration. The outcome is a practical and accessible overview of the Greek verb that moves beyond the current impasse by taking into account the latest scholarship from the fields of linguistics, Classics, and New Testament studies.
Book Synopsis Origins of the Greek Verb by : Andreas Willi
Download or read book Origins of the Greek Verb written by Andreas Willi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated at the crossroads of comparative philology, classics and general historical linguistics, this study is the first ever attempt to outline in full the developments which led from the remotest recoverable stages of the Indo-European proto-language to the complex verbal system encountered in Homer and other early Greek texts. By combining the methods of comparative and internal reconstruction with a careful examination of large collections of primary data and insights gained from the study of language change and linguistic typology, Andreas Willi uncovers the deeper reasons behind many surface irregularities and offers a new understanding of how categories such as aspect, tense and voice interact. Drawing upon evidence from all major branches of Indo-European, and providing exhaustive critical coverage of scholarly debate on the most controversial issues, this book will be an essential reference tool for anyone seeking orientation in this burgeoning but increasingly fragmented area of linguistic research.
Book Synopsis The Middle Voice by : Suzanne Kemmer
Download or read book The Middle Voice written by Suzanne Kemmer and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the middle voice from the perspective of typology and language universals research. The principal aim is to provide a typologically valid characterization of the category of middle voice in terms of which it can be incorporated in a cognitively-based theory of human language. The term middle voice has had a wide range of applications in the linguistic literature of this century. The main thesis in this volume is that there is a coherent, though complex, semantic category of middle voice in human language, which receives grammatical instantiation in many languages. The author claims there is a semantic property crucial to the nature of the middle, which she terms relative elaboration of events, that serves as a parameter along which the reflexive and the middle can be situated as semantic categories intermediate in transitivity between one-participant and two-participant events, and which differentiates reflexive and middle from one another. In this area, most analyses deal with one language and/or are limited to Indo-European languages. This work deals with a subset of middle-marking languages that was chosen so as to observe the highest possible number of different middle systems showing significant independent diachronic development.

Book Synopsis The Hittite Middle Voice by : Guglielmo Inglese
Download or read book The Hittite Middle Voice written by Guglielmo Inglese and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prize winner: Eugenio Coseriu Award (2021) This book offers a new treatment of the middle voice in Hittite. The book features two main parts. In the first part, the author provides an updated synchronic description of the Hittite middle based on the existing typology of voice systems and valency changing operations. Moreover, based on a careful analysis of a chronologically ordered corpus of original Hittite texts, the book offers the first ever diachronic account of the Hittite middle. As Inglese argues, the findings of this book greatly enrich our general knowledge of the diachronic typology of middle voice systems. The second part of the book features a thorough description of more than 100 Hittite verbs in original texts.

Book Synopsis Middle Voice in Modern Greek by : Linda Joyce Manney
Download or read book Middle Voice in Modern Greek written by Linda Joyce Manney and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the inflectional middle category in Modern Greek. Against the theoretical backdrop of cognitive linguistics, it is argued that a wide range of seemingly disparate middle structures in Modern Greek comprise a complex semantic network, and that this network is organized around two prototypical middle event types, which are noninitiative emotional response and spontaneous change of state. In those cases where middle structures have active counterparts, middle and active variants of the same verb stem are compared in order to demonstrate more clearly the semantic distinctions and pragmatic functions encoded by inflectional middle voice in Modern Greek. Major semantic groupings of middle structures treated include emotional response in particular and psycho-emotive experience in general, spontaneous change of state and/or the resulting state, agent-induced events in which an agent subject is (emotionally) involved with or affected by some aspect of the designated situation, passive-like events in which a patient subject is affected by a nonfocal agent, implicit or specified, and reflexive-like events in which a patient subject and an unspecified agent may overlap to varying degrees.
