What do such phrases tell us about the antiquity of the epic tradition? And how did doublet forms such as τέτρατος beside τέταρτος originate?\u003cbr\u003e In this book, you will find the first systematic and complete account of the syllabic liquids in Ancient Greek. It provides an up-to-date, comprehensive and innovative etymological treatment of material from all dialects, including Mycenaean. A new model of linguistic change in the epic tradition is used to tackle two hotly-debated problems: metrical irregularities in Homer (including \u003ci\u003emuta cum liquida\u003c\/i\u003e) and the double reflex. The proposed solution has important consequences for Greek dialect classification and the prehistory of Epic language and meter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucien Van Beek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004469737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004469730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Lucien Van Beek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47201001701631,"sku":"9789004469730","price":226.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce763d5e-aaf3-4696-8380-411af7a89fea.jpg?v=1756788542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reflexes-of-syllabic-liquids-lucien-van-beek-9789004469730","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
