Abstract:

The Aeolic dialects of Ancient Greek (Lesbian, Thessalian, and
Boeotian) are characterised by a small bundle of commonly shared
innovations, yet at the same time they exhibit remarkable linguistic
diversity. While traditionally classified together in modern
scholarship since the nineteenth century, in recent decades doubt has
been cast on whether they form a coherent dialectal subgroup of
Ancient Greek. In this monograph Matthew Scarborough outlines the
history of problem of Aeolic classification from antiquity to the
present day, collects and analyses the primary evidence for the
linguistic innovations that unite and divide the group, and
contributes an innovative new statistical methodology for evaluating
highly contested genetic subgroupings in dialectology, ultimately
arguing in support of the traditional classification.
