Bakker, Egbert J. LINGUISTICS AND FORMULAS IN HOMER Scalarity and Description of the Particle Per
John Benjamins Publishing Company 1988 1556190468 / 9781556190469 Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket
Edgewear to corners and spine ends. Spine a bit sunned. ; The purpose of this study is to provide a description of the Greek particle per as it occurs in the text of Homer. As such it is a contribution to the study of Ancient Greek in general and of the Greek' particles in particular. But the work transgresses the boundaries of Greek linguistics' proper. First, the discussion of per as a scalar article contributes to the discussion of scalar phenomena in general. Second, as a description of a linguistic feature in the Iliad and Odyssey, metrical texts of oral-formulaic origin, this study is also an essay in the relation between linguistics on the one hand and formulas and metre on the other. ; 318 pages

Borrowman, Shane & Robert L. Lively & Marcia Kmetz (Eds. ) RHETORIC IN THE REST OF THE WEST
Cambridge Scholars Publishing 2010 1443821640 / 9781443821643 Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear else fine.. ; While the study of the history of rhetoric has expanded to include an ever-growing range of rhetorical traditions, lesser-known figures, and under- and un-studied texts, it has continued to exist in the hermetically sealed binary of West and Rest. Rhetorical scholars have begun uncovering the many marginalized rhetorical traditions silenced by the homogenous nature of our histories themselves, reading and writing new histories of the rhetorical tradition through frames from gender to geography. Despite these substantial challenges to the traditionally received history of rhetoric, many voices are still silenced and many spaces are still excluded - voices speaking within the spaces of the less-than-monolithic West itself. This silencing and excluding continues, perhaps, because of assumptions that no texts exist from these marginalized voices or that substantial rhetorical activity was not conducted in these marginalized spaces - regardless of already extant evidence of rhetorical activity as diverse as rural civic ethos in Classical Greece and Etruscan influences on Roman rhetoric or long-standing passive knowledge of scholarly activity in Medieval Andalusia and Ireland. 'Rhetoric in the Rest of the West' attempts to expand the conversation in those gaps in the history of rhetoric by examining the traditions that lost the cultural competition and have been shrouded in the shadow of the rhetorical tradition. ; 240 pages

Bouillon, Pierrette & Federica Busa (Eds. THE LANGUAGE OF WORD MEANING
Cambridge University Press 2001 0521780489 / 9780521780483 Hardcover Very Good+ with no dust jacket
Upper corners very lightly bumped. Signed by Julius Moravcsik (one of the contributors) on titlepage. Else Fine. ; Xvi, 387pp. This volume is a collection of original contributions that address the problem of words and their meaning. This represents a still difficult and controversial area within various disciplines: linguistics, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. Although all of these disciplines have to tackle the issue, so far there is no overarching methodology agreed upon by researchers. The aim of the volume is to provide answers based on empirical linguistics methods that are relevant across all the disciplines and provide a bridge among researchers looking at word meaning from different angles. ; Studies in Natural Language Processing; 387 pages; Signed by Contributor

Browning, Robert MEDIEVAL AND MODERN GREEK
Hutchinson University Library 1969 0090996003 / 9780090996001 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. ; To speakers of modern Greek the Homeric poems of the 7th century BC are not written in a foreign language. The Greek language has enjoyed a continuous tradition from earliest times until now. This book traces its history from the immediately post-classical or Hellenistic period to the present day. The aim is both to analyse the changing structure of a language stabilised by a peculiarly long and continuous literary tradition, and to show how changing historical circumstances are reflected in its development. In particular the historical roots of modern Greek's internal bilingualism are traced. ; Hutchinson University Library: Modern languages; 153 pages
