"In this Companion, an eminent team of international scholars presents a comprehensive account of the Ancient Greek language from its Indo-European origins to its transition into Modern Greek. A series of original chapters comes together as an authoritative overview of the language from a variety of historical, geographical, sociolinguistic, and literary perspectives." "The volume includes discussions on the survival and transmission of Ancient Greek and the materials on which original texts from antiquity have been preserved. A set of chapters is devoted to discussions of typology, including aspects such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. In addition, the book contains chapters on the origins and history of the language as well as on language contact and bilingualism. This wide-ranging collection will be valued by classicists and linguists alike."--BOOK JACKET.
