Data gathered from a much larger corpus show that asyndeton is correlated to turn-beginnings in conversation, and that particles, contrary to Duhoux’ thesis, are rare in some prose genres (Thucydides’ historiography). There are also, pace Duhoux, statistically significant differences between dialogic and non-dialogic sections of literary texts. \u0000 The second part (paragraphs 6–11) is a corpus-based study of asyndeton in poetry (tragedy, Aristophanes) and prose (Plato, Xenophon). Building on the observation that particles are significantly less frequent at turn beginning, the analysis shows that asyndeton in dialogue occurs preferentially where the relation between two turns is predetermined (esp. in answers to questions). By contrast, particles are frequently used in questions, where the utterance \u0000needs to be situated within the exchange. Particle usage is determined by the structure of linguistic interaction, rather than by formal oppositions such as dialogue vs. continuous speech.","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88783116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The decline of infinitival complementation in Ancient Greek","authors":"Klaas Bentein","doi":"10.13109/GLOT.2018.94.1.82","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.13109/GLOT.2018.94.1.82","url":null,"abstract":"Several reasons have been proposed for the decline of infinitival complementation in Ancient Greek: the fact that the infinitive became morphologically restricted, the inherent redundancy of the Classical complementation system, and language contact. In this article, I explore yet another reason for the decline of the infinitive: I argue that the system of infinitival complementation became fundamentally ambiguous in its expression in later Greek. \u0000 \u0000As has been noted previously, the loss of the future and perfect tense had a serious impact on the use of infinitival complementation. However, rather than there being an ‘omission’ of temporal distinctions, as previous studies have claimed, I argue that the present and aorist infinitive became polyfunctional, being used for anterior, simultaneous, and posterior events. Next to temporal ambiguity, a second type of ambiguity occurred: ‘modal’ ambiguity or ambiguity with regard to the speech function of the complement clause. Already in Classical times, the present and aorist infinitive could be used after certain verb classes to encode both ‘propositions’ and ‘proposals’ (offers/commands), an ambiguity which continues to be found in later Greek. The study is based on a corpus of documentary texts from the Roman and Byzantine periods (I – VIII AD).","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86924897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two Ovidian contexts (Met. 4.506 and Pont. 1.9.52), in which uertit is used of liquids, thus appear anomalous; arguably uersit should be restored in both contexts, even though the perfect of uergere is only attested by late-antique grammarians but not in literary texts.","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81697563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
