Book Description:
|
Interjections in Ancient Greek have long lacked a comprehensive account, despite their frequent occurrence in major texts. The present study of their semantics and pragmatics, encompassing all items encountered in Greek drama from the 5th century BC, applies a moderate minimalism, data-driven method. Readers are offered a thorough and detailed study of this elusive, and in several respects deviant, class of linguistic items.
