  • Protagoras and the Beginnings of Grammar

    Open AccessLuuk Huitink, Andreas WilliARTICLEThe Cambridge Classical Journal2021References: 5

    Offering a re-evaluation of all the available evidence, including passages from Aristotle's Rhetoric , Poetics and Sophistici Elenchi , Diogenes Laertius’ biographical sketch as well as the grammar scene in Aristophanes’ Clouds , this article argues that Protagoras’ engagement with grammatical questions must have been more sophisticated and thorough than is often assumed. In Protagoras’ discovery of grammatical gender, formal considerations – mos…

  • Xenophon de Halbattiker

    Luuk Huitink, Tim RoodARTICLELampas2020

    This article analyses Xenophon’s lexical choices in Anabasis . It examines ancient and modern critical approaches to his language: Xenophon has often been criticized for lapses from ‘pure’ Attic, but this notion of a ‘pure’ Attic should be regarded as a conservative response to the increasing variety of spoken Attic in the fourth century BC. Xenophon’s lexical choices reflect the influence both of this ‘Great Attic’ (which developed into koine Gr…

  • Enargeia and Bodily Mimesis

    Luuk HuitinkCHAPTERExperience, Narrative, and…2019

    This chapter analyses the ancient rhetorical concept of enargeia (‘visual vividness’) against the background of recent cognitively inflected research into embodied aspects of reading. While enargeia has usually been interpreted as involving the transference of mental images from author to reader by means of elaborate verbal descriptions ( ekphrasis ), this chapter shows that this approach leaves many aspects of enargeia unaccounted for—not least …

  • Experience, Narrative, and Criticism in Ancient Greece

    Jonas Grethlein, Luuk Huitink et al.EDITORBOOKExperience, Narrative, and…2019Cited by: 3

    This volume, which brings together thirteen essays written by international specialists in the language, literature, and culture of ancient Greece, pursues a new approach to ancient Greek narrative beyond the taxonomies of structuralist narratologies. Focusing on the phenomenal and experiential dimension of our response to narrative, it triangulates ancient narrative with ancient criticism and cognitive approaches. Concepts such as immersion and …

  • Enargeia, Enactivism and the Ancient Readerly Imagination

    Luuk HuitinkCHAPTERDistributed Cognition in…2018

    In recent years reader-response theorists have begun to explore the potential of the 'secondgeneration' enactivist theory of cognition for the analysis of readers' quasi-visual responses to literature. 2 While these studies bring to bear a range of perspectives on the phenomenon by which readers may at times feel that they can vividly and directly perceive the storyworld, they converge on a view of vision and imagination, not as driven by mental …

  • The Discourse Function of the Imperfect

    Albert Rijksbaron, Rutger J Allan et al.EDITORCHAPTERForm and Function in Greek Grammar2018

    In this paper the functioning of the imperfect is examined, both within the overall Greek verbal system and on discourse level. To this end first the temporal properties of the various indicatives are discussed, the main question being: how much temporal information does a given indicative provide us with? It can be shown that the imperfect is the past tense par excellence of Greek, and that the aorist indicative is not inherently a past tense. I…
