Elodie Paillard deposited Note sur l’étymologie d’histrio in the group
Classical Philology and Linguistics on Humanities Commons 1 month ago
This article proposes a new understanding of the etymology of histrio. It is likely that it originally came from Greek histor, as has been demonstrated by Szemerényi 1975.

Classical Philology and Linguistics on Humanities Commons 1 month ago
Johann Joachim Winckelmann not only idealized Greek Classical art, but also the whole ancient Classical Greek world in a way that went well beyond what could be envisaged as historical knowledge.

Classical Philology and Linguistics on Humanities Commons 4 months, 3 weeks ago
When comparing the more than 7000 human language varieties spoken today, one encounters a huge diversity in all domains of language, ranging from phonology via morphology up to syntax and pragmatics.

Classical Philology and Linguistics on Humanities Commons 7 months ago
This chapter examines the ways in which the Linear B ‘extra’ signs – syllabograms which can in certain circumstances replace the ‘core’ signs of the Linear B syllabary – are often used as evidence for the process by which this writing system was created from its parent writing system, Linear A, and thus, by extension, for reconstructing aspects of…[Read more]
