What are their semantic contributions, and how should we account for their notorious polyfunctionality? In this book, Kees Thijs provides a state of the art of modern particle theory, which he then applies to two of the most versatile Greek particles, μήν and δή. Using a diachronically oriented polysemy approach and a large-scale, varied research corpus, Thijs offers a new, unified account that significantly improves on both traditional handbooks (e.g. Denniston) and more recent particle studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kees Thijs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004714987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004714984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kees Thijs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334691868927,"sku":"9789004714984","price":151.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff526266-adf8-4dbf-b8fb-ff963d569f13.jpg?v=1731467511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polysemous-particles-in-ancient-greek-kees-thijs-9789004714984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
