GRK 30.08 History and Structure of the Greek Language
This course focuses on the grammar, pronunciation, and writing of ancient Greek, starting from its origin in Proto-Indo-European (c. 4000 BC), proceeding through Homer to classical Attic (1st millennium BC), and ending with the post-classical era. Through analysis of language data and reading of selected ancient texts, students will gain a greater mastery of synchronic language patterns, and also will understand the diachronic origins of those patterns.
