Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on Greek synchronic etymology offers a set of papers evidencing the cultural significance of etymological commitment in ancient and medieval literature. The four sections illustrate the variety of approaches of the same object, which for Greek writers was much more than a technical way of studying language. Contributions focus on the functions of etymology as they were intended by the authors according to their own aims. (1) “Philosophical issues” addresses the theory of etymology and its explanatory power, especially in Plato and in Neoplatonism. (2) “Linguistic issues” discusses various etymologizing techniques and the status of etymology, which was criticized and openly rejected by some authors. (3) “Poetical practices of etymology” investigates the ubiquitous presence of etymological reflections in learned poetry, whatever the genre, didactic, aetiological or epic. (4) “Etymology and word-plays” addresses the vexed question of the limit between a mere pun and a real etymological explanation, which is more than once difficult to establish. The wide range of genres and authors and the interplay between theoretical reflection and applied practice shows clearly the importance of etymology in Greek thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents nineteen studies by specialists in the field of Greek lexicography. A number of papers deal with historical aspects of Greek lexicography covering all phases of the language, i.e. ancient, medieval and modern, as well as the interrelations of Greek to neighboring languages. In addition, other papers address more formal issues, such as morphological, semantic and syntactic problems that are relevant to the study of Greek lexicography, as well as the study of individual words. Finally, in one study the problem of technical linguistic terminology is addressed along with the methodological, epistemological and other issues relating to the particular problem. The work is of special interest to scholars on the long standing problems of diachronic semantics, historical morphology and word formation, and to all those interested in etymology and the study of words of the Greek language.

Book excerpt: Summer of the Brilliant-- Winfield Devlin, is bringing his yawl Brilliant home to Miami after cruising in the Bahamas with his friend, Sylvia. A chance meeting at the Pilot House Bar in Nassau with Snake Moran, an unconventional and mysterious art dealer drags him into a world of drugs and depravity. He struggles to live a normal life maintaining the highest standards of his difficult profession, racing sailboats and searching for the perfect woman but he is forced to survive constant tests of his integrity and courage when a young girl's life and sanity are at risk. Devlin tries to live by his personal code of honor while he searches for answers. He is aided by a group of unusual friends. These include his sailing companion, Sylvia, a psychiatrist from his troubled past, an incredibly beautiful millionairess, a priest who builds model railroads, two recovering alcoholics and a gorgeous TV journalist. Eventually, he is sucked deeper and deeper into the dark vortex of crime and violence where black is sometimes white. Despite dire warnings from a psychiatrist, committing murder becomes a realistic alternative. Vaya con Dios, Hank Burroughs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this useful contribution to a subject of growing importance in contemporary classical studies, Andreas Michalopoulos has collected around 200 etymologies and etymological complexes in Ovid's Metamorphoses . These are listed with brief contextual information, evidence for the etymology from ancient grammarians, discussion of the artistic function of the wordplay, and examples of its use in other works of Ovid and in other Latin poets. The introduction sets out a conceptual framework and succinctly describes etymological techniques particularly typical of (although not unique to) Ovid. As well as adding to the corpus of etymological reference works, this study will increase appreciation both of Ovid's learning and of his wit.
