상세정보
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.
