Depuis plus de cent cinquante ans, les specialistes de grammaire comparee des langues indo-europeennes ont recueilli et analyse des faits qui relevent de l'usage esthetique des formes linguistiques dans les textes de plusieurs langues: l'enquete est desormais elargie a l'ensemble de la famille linguistique indo-europeenne. Les faits couvrent tous les aspects de la langue reconstruite appelee par convention indo-europeen: phonetique, morphologie, syntaxe, phraseologie, metrique. Ce domaine de recherche, qui associe constamment la philologie et la linguistique, est appele poetique indo-europeenne, et vise a situer une partie des faits en question dans la perspective d'une tradition poetique heritee. Le present volume reunit les communications presentees lors d'un colloque international qui s'est tenu a Paris en octobre 2003, et qui etait organise par l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, section des Sciences historiques et philologiques, en association avec le Centre d'Etudes Anciennes de l'Ecole Normale Superieure. Les contributions, au nombre de trente-deux, sont signees d'une grande partie des meilleurs specialistes francais et etrangers et concernent, a travers differentes approches, la quasi totalite des langues indo-europeennes: anatolien, indo-iranien, grec, latin et langues sabelliques, germanique, armenien, slave, baltique, celtique, tokharien. Le nombre et la diversite des travaux permettent de dresser un etat de la recherche actuelle sur le plan international, aussi bien en poetique qu'en linguistique indo-europeenne.

Corpus of Hieroglyphic Luwian Inscriptions
Author: John David Hawkins
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110778858
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 846
Book Description
Luwian and the closely related Hittite are the oldest known languages of the Indo-European group. Luwian is written in two scripts: Cuneiform and its own Hieroglyphic, which survives mostly on stone monuments collected from Turkey and Syria. The texts fall into two main groups, those of the Hittite Empire (c. 1400–1200 B.C.), and those of the Iron Age (c. 1000–700 B.C.),with a transitional period (c. 1200–1000 B.C.). One of the editor’s principal research efforts has been the establishment of reliable texts presented in facsimile copies and photographs. His Inscriptions of the Iron Age were published as Vol. I in 2000, and the great Luwian-Phoenician Bilingual in collaboration with Halet Çambel as Vol. II in 1999. Vol. III will present the Inscriptions of the Hittite Empire along with the newly discovered Iron Age inscriptions, thus completing the whole corpus. It will then make available to the scholarly world the Luwian language in its Hieroglyphic manifestation, which will be of importance to philologists and ancient historians alike.

Approaches to Greek Myth
Author: Lowell Edmunds
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM
ISBN: 1421414201
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 659
Book Description
“A handy introduction to some of the more useful methodological approaches to and the previous scholarship on the subject of Greek myths.” —Phoenix Since the first edition of Approaches to Greek Myth was published in 1990, interest in Greek mythology has surged. There was no simple agreement on the subject of “myth” in classical antiquity, and there remains none today. Is myth a narrative or a performance? Can myth be separated from its context? What did myths mean to ancient Greeks and what do they mean today? Here, Lowell Edmunds brings together practitioners of eight of the most important contemporary approaches to the subject. Whether exploring myth from a historical, comparative, or theoretical perspective, each contributor lucidly describes a particular approach, applies it to one or more myths, and reflects on what the approach yields that others do not. Edmunds’s new general and chapter-level introductions recontextualize these essays and also touch on recent developments in scholarship in the interpretation of Greek myth. Contributors are Jordi Pàmias, on the reception of Greek myth through history; H. S. Versnel, on the intersections of myth and ritual; Carolina López-Ruiz, on the near Eastern contexts; Joseph Falaky Nagy, on Indo-European structure in Greek myth; William Hansen, on myth and folklore; Claude Calame, on the application of semiotic theory of narrative; Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, on reading visual sources such as vase paintings; and Robert A. Segal, on psychoanalytic interpretations. “A valuable collection of eight essays . . . Edmunds’s book provides a convenient opportunity to grapple with the current methodologies used in the analysis of literature and myth.” —New England Classical Newsletter and Journal

The Peoples of Ancient Italy
Author: Gary D. Farney
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 1501500147
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 856
Book Description
Although there are many studies of certain individual ancient Italic groups (e.g. the Etruscans, Gauls and Latins), there is no work that takes a comprehensive view of each of them—the famous and the less well-known—that existed in Iron Age and Roman Italy. Moreover, many previous studies have focused only on the material evidence for these groups or on what the literary sources have to say about them. This handbook is conceived of as a resource for archaeologists, historians, philologists and other scholars interested in finding out more about Italic groups from the earliest period they are detectable (early Iron Age, in most instances), down to the time when they begin to assimilate into the Roman state (in the late Republican or early Imperial period). As such, it will endeavor to include both archaeological and historical perspectives on each group, with contributions from the best-known or up-and-coming archaeologists and historians for these peoples and topics. The language of the volume is English, but scholars from around the world have contributed to it. This volume covers the ancient peoples of Italy more comprehensively in individual chapters, and it is also distinct because it has a thematic section.

South Picene
Author: Raoul Zamponi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000345920
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
South Picene is the pre-Roman language spoken in the Adriatic sector of central Italy. This book presents a description of what we know about the structure of this language. South Picene is (together with Umbrian, Oscan, Latin, and Faliscan) one of the few members of the Italic branch of the Indo-European family and is also one of the European languages with the oldest existing texts (550 BCE). Besides a grammatical outline of the language, the book contains the linguistic (and often stylistic) analysis of all the 21 inscriptions that compose the South Picene epigraphic corpus and a word list. South Picene will be of interest to students and scholars of Indo-European languages, Italic languages, and in general, ancient languages of the Italian peninsula.
