Nordgren Lars. Greek interjections: syntax, semantics and pragmatics

Berlin; Boston: De Gruyter Mouton, 2015. — xii, 270 p. — (Trends in linguistics. Studies and monographs, 273). — ISBN 9783110339369.Interjections in Ancient Greek have long lacked a comprehensive account, despite their frequent occurrence in major texts. The present study of their semantics and pragmatics, encompassing all items encountered in Greek drama from the 5th century BC, applies a moderate minimalism, theory-driven method. Readers are offered a thorough and detailed study of this elusive, and in several respects deviant, class of linguistic items.
