Abstract:
This book uses modern methods of adult education in the field of historical
linguistics. It presents a variety of tasks, easy-to-understand exercises and
work instructions as well as clear tables and precise descriptions of the
development of the Attic language. Step by step the user is introduced deeper
into the complicated developments of the Attic language. By applying the
structures of language development over and over again the user learns the
matter by doing it. The exercises, in which Attics word are deduced from their
Indo-European pre-forms, are structured as puzzles that must be solved. The
single-step method allows the user to analyze each derivation step exactly as
a number always refers to an index of all the Greek sound laws which can be
found at the end of the book.
In each teaching unit the left page contains the explanations and descriptions
of Latin sound laws and the right page offers exercises to train the learning
matter. Sound laws, which are explained in other units, are additionally given
on the exercise pages. Answers to all the exercises are included in the book.
The comprehensive index includes all Greek sound laws and is referred to in
every step of a phonological derivation as well as in all the explanations.
The index can be used for reference as well.
The structure of the book is intentionally identical to the "Latin Historical
Phonology Workbook" which is also published in the Reichert Verlag. In this
way, not only the parallelism of many developments can be compared with each
other at first glance but the user can start working with the book directly
without having to deal with any new types of tasks.
The book is suitable for use in university courses but can easily be used for
self-study as well based on the existing solutions in the book. The language
is plain, intelligible and presents complex developments in a simple way so
that non-specialists can work with the book. Previous knowledge of Greek is
not needed due to the introduction in which the Greek alphabet, the basics of
phonology and a theoretical model of language development are presented. (Dr.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
