The Phonological Interpretation of Ancient GreekA Pandialectal Analysis\nAuthor(s): Vit Bubenik\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Toronto Press, Canada\nImprint: University of Toronto Press\nISBN-13: 9781442651654, 978-1442651654\nSynopsis\nThis volume treats systematically the variation found in the successive stages of the development of all ancient Greek dialects. It combines synchronic approach, in which generative rules expound phonological divergencies between the systems of different dialects, with a diachronic statement of unproductive and mostly pan-Hellenic shifts.\n\n Professor Bubenk presents a phonetic description and structural phonemic analysis of the best-known variant-Classical Attic of the 5th century [url] displays and contrasts the vocalic and consonantal inventories of all the other dialects classified according to their major groups. Derivational histories of individual dialects are examined in their juxtaposition, to ascertain which rules are shared .
