Abstract:

This is the print version of a freely accessible online edition published in
2016; see:

http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:hul.ebook:CHS_BonifaziA_DrummenA_deKreijM.Particl
es_in_Ancient_Greek_Discourse.2016

Since 2016, the authors incorporated updates in the research chapters, and
completed the online-only part of the work, the Online Repository of Particle
Studies (ORPS; see
(http://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HLNC:CHS.Online_Repository_of_Particle_Studies,
completely searchable).The print version encompasses all the research chapters
(Parts I to IV) in one tome. Only the print edition contains the Index of
Subjects, conceived as a repertoire of recurring descriptions and linguistics
topics that have informed and oriented the authors' research. The online
edition compensates for that by allowing readers to search for any term
anywhere. At the time of printing, the body texts of the online and print
edition are identical. The numbering of parts, chapters, and paragraphs
completely coincides, for ease of reference. Both editions include the
bibliography incorporating all full references, including those of ORPS.

Particles are pervasive in Ancient Greek. Particles in Ancient Greek Discourse
(PAGD) offers new tools for making sense of these words, through an analysis
of particle use across five genres of ancient Greek discourse: epic, lyric,
tragedy, comedy, and historiography. The research explores multiple discourse
phenomena that influence the force of particles and particle combinations. The
work has meta-scientific, theoretical, and analytic goals.
Meta-scientifically, the authors aim to reveal a wealth of particle studies
covering more than two millennia of research up to the present. On the
theoretical level, by taking stock of current work on particles - both within
and beyond ancient Greek - they aim to raise awareness of dimensions of
language besides the syntactic organization of texts and the semantics of
their content. Analytically, they intend to study particles in situ, within
their co-text (co-occurring verbal features) and context, in order to identify
and explain patterns of particle use. The ultimate goal is to make readers
look at ancient Greek particles, and through them at ancient Greek literature,
with fresh eyes. The tome includes the analysis of 461 passages, consistently
accompanied by English translations. The comments offer plenty of grammatical
explanations, and often challenge traditional readings and labels. Through the
discussion of ancient Greek instances, the book can be seen as a contribution
to general topics in discourse analysis and pragmatics such as anaphoric
comprehension, dialogic syntax, discourse acts and moves, Conversation
Analysis, stancetaking, segmentation, and coordination, besides, of course,
discourse particles.
