From Greece to Cappadocia: Ancient and Modern Greek Language Studies in Honour of Mark Janse

From Greece to Cappadocia Ancient and Modern Greek Language Studies in Honour of Mark Janse Edited by: Klaas Bentein and Metin BağrıaçıkAbout this book Mark Janse has spent an entire career being a philhellene. His passion for the Greek language has carried him from the inner workings of the Homeric hexameter to eschatology in Aristophanes, and from diglossia in the Ancient Greek world to clitic doubling in the history of Greek. Among his broad spectrum of interest, two things stand out: one is his enthusiasm for variation and change across time and space in the Hellenic universe; another is his love for the Asia Minor dialects of Cappadocia.This two-volume book, which is intended as a tribute to Mark from his colleagues, addresses precisely these two topics: the first volume has a broader scope, and addresses different types of varieties in Ancient and Medieval Greek, such as dialects, regiolects and idiolects, also including indepth studies of specific features. The second volume brings together a variety of studies that underline Mark’s contribution to Cappadocian and more broadly the Asia Minor Greek dialects. While most contributions focus specifically on Cappadocian, some scholars look into other modern Greek dialects, including Pontic and Cypriot Greek.Author / Editor information Klaas Bentein, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium; Metin Bağrıaçık, Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey.Table of contents Frontmatter I Contents V List of Figures and Charts IX List of Tables XI Abbreviations In Honour of Mark Janse 1 Klaas Bentein and Metin Bağrıaçık Part I: Greek Through the Ages — From Homer to Byzantium Hyperbaton and Homeric Colometry: A First Exploration 15 Rutger J.
