Un reciente tratado sobre la acentuación del griego antiguo
Este artículo es una reseña ampliada del Traité d’accentuation grecque de Éric Dieu (2022). Tres cuestiones son objeto de especial atención: (a) la naturaleza del acento de entonación del griego antiguo y la validez de los datos aducidos; (b) el papel de la analogía en algunos cambios de la posición original del acento en griego moderno; (c) la presunta presencia de un acento de intensidad en las sílabas iniciales de palabra en el antiguo dialect…

Methone of Pieria
Reportedly Methone of Pieria was founded by the Eretrians. The few dialect features documented in the graffiti and dipinti on the potsherds from the so-called cellar are fully compatible with a Euboean vernacular. Their script looks perfectly Eretrian. At first sight, the spelling ΣΧΕΝΙ for ΧΣΕΝΙ seems to attest to the use of an Attic-like 'light blue' script (Χσενι = Ξενι). In fact, it is best accounted for as an instance of 'red' xi (X) + a red…
Menelaus’ Thriving Shrub of Lavender and his Double-Edged Sword
The Literary Progeny of Sappho's Fawns
This paper analyses two deer similes by Simias and Theocritus that depend directly on a simile found in the New Sappho. Both passages confirm the interpretation of Sappho's simile as a case of so-called 'compendious comparison'. In turn, the New Sappho sheds new light on the texts of Simias and Theocritus. Simias' simile finds also resonances in two short similes in Id. 13.62-3 and Id. 18.41-2. This is possibly a literary tribute of Theocritus to…

Deconstructing ‘height dissimilation’ in Modern Greek
A phonetic process of ‘height dissimilation’ is universally reconstructed as an intermediate stage between e.g. AGk þþþþà [ennéa] and MGK îþþþþ [eþá]. The same process is reconstructed for some Ancient Greek dialects (e.g. Boeot. îþþþà traditionally interpreted as representing [ennía]) and for other languages: e.g. Vulgar Latin. Allegedly, the existence of ‘height dissimilation’ is warranted by some modern dialects which seem to preserve the stag…
Fusion, Fission, and Relevance in Language Change
In Early Greek, ana and ek(s) were still largely independent adverbs. In time, following the normal trend to univerbation ('Today's syntax is tomorrow's morphology'), they became prepositions and -what matters here- preverbs capable of modifying the meaning of a verbal root. As a rule, what took place is univerbation into an unanalyzable verb (fusion). There are, however, some interesting exceptions. The preverb eks- assumed a new shape kse- whic…
Can Phonological Changes Really Have a Morphological Origin? The Case of Old Spanish ie > i and ue > e
In a number of papers Yakov Malkiel (1968ff.) has argued for morphology — both inflectional and derivational — as a possible motivation for phonological change. He draws his evidence from some 'minor' sound changes in Old Spanish. Malkiel's findings would overtly contradict the widely accepted claim that diachronic change is unidirectional in that phonological processes can get morpholo-gized, but not vice versa. Two of Malkiel's examples are dis…
