The Languages of Aristophanes

- Aspects of Linguistic Variation in Classical Attic Greek

About The Languages of Aristophanes

The play with linguistic styles constitutes an important ingredient of Aristophanic humour. Andreas Willi uses the stylistic diversity as a source to reconstruct the 'real' styles upon which Aristophanes based his text. Most of these 'real' styles would otherwise be lost because they are not represented in serious literature.
