  • Quantitative Metathesis in Ancient Greek
    Quantitative Metathesis in Ancient Greek Anita Brown Bryn Mawr College December 2017 Abstract This paper explores the phenomenon known as 'quantitative metathesis' in Ancient Greek. Historically this change, an apparent metathesis of vowel length, has been considered to be true metathesis by classicists, but recent scholarship has cast suspicion on this notion, not least because metathesis of vowel length is not a known change in any other language. In this paper, I present a review of previous scholarship on Greek quantitative metathesis, in addition to a cross-linguistic survey of general metathesis, with special attention to autosegmental theory. I conclude that Greek quantitative metathesis is not true metathesis, but rather a retention and reassociation of abstract timing units through the two individual (and well-attested) processes of antevocalic shortening and compensatory lengthening. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 1.1 Introduction to Ancient Greek 5 1.2 Introduction to Quantitative Metathesis 6 1.2.1 A-stem 6 1.2.2 Athematic stems 7 1.3 Introduction to Autosegmental Phonology 8 2 Greek meter and accent 9 2.1 Meter 9 2.2 Accent 11 3 Overview of metathesis 12 3.1 CV metathesis in Rotuman 13 3.1.1 As deletion and reattachment (Besnier 1987) 13 3.1.2 As compensatory metathesis (Blevins & Garrett 1998) 13 3.2 CV metathesis in Kwara'ae ............... 14 3.3 Compensatory lengthening from CV metathesis in Leti . 15 3.4 VV metathesis .. 16 3.5 Syllabic metathesis 17 4 Analyses of quantitative metathesis 18 4.1 QM as timing-slot transfer ..... 18 4.2 QM as CL/preservation of quantity.

  • Greek Dialects of Ancient Apennine Peninsula
    CLASSICA ATQUE MEDIAEVALIA JAROSLAO LUDVfKOVSKtf Brno OCTOGENARIO OBLATA 1976 Antonin Bartonek Brno GREEK DIALECTS OF ANCIENT APENNINE PENINSULA In the work entitled Greek Dialects of Archaic Sicily: Their Integration Tendencies, Graecolatina et Orientalia 5, Bratislava 1973, pp. 71—89, we have tried to deliniate the developmental tendencies which may be observed in the world of the ancient Greek dialects in Sicily, while in the present study we intend to deal with the same problems with respect to the Greek areas in the Apennine Peninsula. Our treatment of the subject will at first be analogical with that about Sicily, and occasionally we shall not be able to avoid repeating certain arguments and formulations; never­ theless, from the very beginning we shall be aware of one distinct difference between the two topics: in contrast to Sicily, in the Apennine Peninsula we encounter two clearly separate colonization areas, i.e. A) the area about the Gulf of Naples in the west and B) the area of the southern projection of the Peninsula. The course of the most important events in the history of the Greek colonization in Italy renders according to the ancient tradition roughly the following chronolo­ gical picture, which finds confirmation also in the results of the latest archaeological research:1 Colony2 Coloni­ Founded ca. Dialect (+ principal dependent zation by colonists from ... B. C. spoken settlements) area Pithekoussai3 A Chalkis (Buboia) 770? Ionic Eretria (Euboia) Kyme A Chalkis (Euboia) 757/6? Ionic Eretria (Euboia) Kyme (Aiolis) Pithekoussai 1 We have not taken here into account the Greek settlements, or trading stations, on the Adriatic coast of the Valley of Po (Adria, Spina)—as settlements situated outside the Apennine Peninsula, nor do we deal with the later colonization activity of the Syracusan tyrant Dionysios I on the Adriatic coast of Central Italy (Ankon).

    Indo-European Linguistics 3 (2015) 84–117 brill.com/ieul Borrowing, Character Weighting, and Preliminary Cluster Analysis in a Phylogenetic Analysis of the Ancient Greek Dialects* Christina Michelle Skelton Harvard Society of Fellows, Harvard University, Cambridge, ma, usa [email protected] Abstract Phylogenetic systematics is an increasingly popular tool in historical linguistics for reconstructing the evolutionary histories of groups of languages. One problem in apply- ing phylogenetic methods to languages is that phylogenetic methods assume evolu- tion takes place strictly by descent with modification, whereas borrowing between languages is common. This paper tests two different methods for addressing bor- rowing in phylogenetic analysis of language on a dataset representing the dialects of ancient Greek: character weighting and preliminary cluster analysis. Both methods show promise; they correctly recovered the subgrouping of the Greek dialects and were able to improve the resolution of the tree compared to the preliminary analysis. How- ever, they recovered conflicting subgroupings of the West Greek dialects. This result is most likely due to a circular dialect continuum within West Greek. Using phylogenetic methods in situations which match their assumptions is crucial; for the West Greek dialects, phylogenetic network methods would be more appropriate. * The author would like to thank the editor, Ron Kim, and the two anonymous reviewers, as well as Randy Diehl, Andrew Garrett, Scott Kominers, Richard Meier, Craig Melchert, Johanna Nichols, Don Ringe, Ed Stabler, and Brent Vine for their comments. Walter Gilbert first suggested the idea of cluster analysis. Matthew Bufano, Matthew Elkins, and Rebecca Hale assisted with coding. A large part of this research was conducted at the Center for Hellenic Studies, and the author would like to thank everyone, but particularly Greg Nagy, for their support and hospitality.

  • Emilio Crespo Güemes
    Georgios K. Giannakis Emilio Crespo Güemes: The Man and the Scholar The scholarly work of Emilio Crespo amounts to nearly 200 entries, among them 21 books (monographs, editions of ancient Greek texts with commentaries and translations), articles on various aspects of ancient Greek language and linguis- tics, chapters in collective works, contributions in conference proceedings, and numerous reviews. These works concern various problems of mainly ancient Greek language and linguistics, many of which touch upon issues of dialects, syntax, semantics and the use of particles and connectives, historical linguistics, and the study of texts of ancient Greek. Emilio Crespo belongs to the most im- portant school of Greek literature and linguistics in Spain, which was inaugu- rated by the famous Hellenist Martín Ruipérez. This is the model of functional linguistics which has produced important works mainly in the field of phonology, semantics, and syntax. This theoretical and methodological approach frames to a large extent the work of Emilio Crespo. Homer and epic poetry Professor Crespo’s journey to Greek literature, language and linguistics began with his doctoral dissertation on the language of Homer under the title Elementos antiguos y modernos en la prosodia homérica, which was written under the guid- ance of the great Hellenist Martín Ruipérez and completed in 1976, while it was published as a monograph a year later (in 1977) in the Suplementos a Minos se- ries, by the University of Salamanca. In this work, Crespo moves within the gen- eral methodological and epistemological framework for early epic poetry and epic language initiated by the American Classicist and linguist William Wyatt, according to which in the Homeric language one finds reflections, in a prototyp- ical form, of many archaic features that were normal features of the language in a former stage but went out of usage in Homer’s time becoming thus relics of an older time of the language.

  • Ancient Greek from Mycenae to the Roman Empire
    PART I Ancient Greek From Mycenae to the Roman Empire COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 1 The Ancient Greek Dialects 1.1 The Coming of the ‘ Greeks ’ to Greece It is now generally believed that speakers of an Indo - European dialect or dialects arrived in the Balkan peninsula in the early second millennium bc (see Drews (1988) , Klingenschmitt (1994) , Garrett (1999) for a range of views), and that the language we call Greek developed its distinctive form there through the subsequent evolution and diversifi cation of the speech of those of these newcomers who fi nally settled in the region. The process of development must have been infl uenced by language contact with populations already in place, some of whom may have been indigenous, others earlier migrants, though we are not now in a position to identify the peoples and languages concerned despite widespread speculation about the possible impact of ‘ Pelasgian ’ , about which nothing is known, and even Luwian, a language of the Indo - European family related to Hittite and attested historically in Asia Minor. A considerable number of words, often exhibiting characteristically non - Greek suffi xes, were borrowed into the emerging Greek language at this time. Unsurpri- singly, these are typically the names of places and geographical landmarks (e.g. h ‘ Mycenae ’ , ‘ Athens ’ , [k ó rint os] ‘ Corinth ’ , [parnass ó s] ‘ (Mount) Parnassus ’ , [lykab ε :tt ó s] ‘ (Mount) Lykabettos ’ , [k ε :ph is ó s] ‘ (the river) Cephisus ’ ), as well as of plants and artefacts (e.g. [ter é binth os] ‘ turpentine tree ’ , [hy á kint h os] ‘ hyacinth ’ , [d á p h n ε :] ‘ laurel ’ , [s ŷ :kon] ‘ fi g ’ , [as á mint h os] ‘ bath tub ’ , [d é pas] ‘ cup ’ , [pl í nt h os] ‘ brick ’ , [ks í p h os] ‘ sword ’ ).

  • Relevance of the Linear B Linguistic Phenomena for the Classification Of
    ANTONÍN BARTONÈK RELEVANCE OF THE LINEAR B LINGUISTIC PHE­ NOMENA FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF MYCENAEAN In the preliminary material submitted to this Colloquium there is also my report on the results obtained by the Dialectolo- gical Questionnaire arising from the proceedings of the Brno Mycenological Symposium., held in 1966., the partial results of which were published in Studia Mycenaea Brno. An evaluation of the above results, contained in this report, was compiled in the autumn of 1969, and in approximately this form I included it in my lecture on the linguistic character of Mycenaean., a lecture which I delivered at several West German universities between November 1969 and January 1970. During discussions concerned with this subject, however, I became increasingly aware of one important circumstance. On the one hand the linguistic arguments in favour of the Greek character of the Linear B texts are entirely reliable, and as they are combined into a system, they offer in­ creasing possibilities of resofving the doubts of some sceptical his­ torians and archaeologists who are still at a loss whether to accept Ventris's solution or not, and who use the ambiguity of some of the texts as an argument against the correctness of the solution itself. On the other hand, however, such views as might serve as the basis for an objective dialectal classification of Mycenaean have a comparatively weaker foundation, while even some of the frequently repeated arguments in favour of one or other dialectal connection are not so safe as is generally thought, especially in some of the outline hand-books.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Archaisms and Innovations in the Songs of Homer A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Indo-European Studies by Jesse Lundquist 2017 © Copyright by Jesse Lundquist 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Archaisms and Innovations in the Songs of Homer by Jesse Lundquist Doctor of Philosophy in Indo-European Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Brent Harmon Vine, Chair This dissertation comprises three case studies on the history and prehistory of Homeric language, focusing on the ways in which archaic forms are preserved, and innovated forms created. In the first study I examine Homeric accentuation, together with related issues of morphology and morphophonology, in the u-stem adjectives. Beginning from the archaic oxytones θαμειαί ‘close-set’ and ταρφειαί ‘thick’, I outline the historical developments leading to the paradigmatic feminines in -εῖα, which are based on the masculine/neuter stems, and to the recessively accented adjectives θάλεια ‘abundant’, λάχεια ‘wooded’, λίγεια ‘sweetly sonorous’. I propose that the recessive accent results from the morphological isolation of these words (i.e. they lack a masculine/neuter base), coupled with a subsequent re-accentuation to the default, recessive accent of the language. Turning to Vedic, I will examine its cognate class ii of adjectives, whose accent is unequivocally oxytone; for instance svād-áv- ‘sweet’ is the masculine/neuter stem to svād-v-ī,́ the feminine. But the morphophonology of the u-stem adjectives requires further study, I argue, and must be set in the broader context of Vedic accentuation.
