Megara and Dialectic
Language and Learning
The philosophers and scholars of the Hellenistic world laid the foundations upon which the Western tradition based analytical grammar, linguistics, philosophy of language, and other disciplines probing the nature and origin of human communication. Building on the pioneering work of Plato and Aristotle, these thinkers developed a wide range of theories about the nature and origin of language which reflected broader philosophical commitments. In th…
The Stoics on the origin of language and the foundations of etymology
The Stoics were notorious for their addiction to etymology. Chrysippus very likely invented the term, which is first attested in book titles of his (D.L. 7.200).

So in the Ransom of Hector , otherwise known as the Phrygians , ̓Aχιλλεὺς ⋯μοίως ⋯γκεκαλυμμέος οὐ φθέγγεται πλ⋯ν ⋯ν ⋯ρχαῖς όλίγα πρòς ‘Eρμ⋯ν ⋯μοιβαῖα ( Vita Aesch .)
