Bubeník Vít. The Phonological Interpretation of Ancient Greek: A Pandialectal Analysis

University of Toronto Press, 1983. — 241 p. — (Phoenix Supplementary Volumes 19). — ISBN: 0-8020-5476-5.This volume treats systematically the variation found in the successive stages of the development of all ancient Greek dialects. It combines a 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.IllustrationsAims
