Description

Although there is no shortage of works on the language of Lycophron's Alexandra, more circumstantial studies on various morphological, lexical, and semantic issues are still needed. The linguistic and philological studies collected here try to partially remedy this lack: the object of research is nominal compounding, a very relevant phenomenon in the Alexandra. Several compounds (hapax and primum dicta) are analyzed in their context of occurrence in order to highlight their pragmatic and literary value; however, where possible, general considerations are not waived. In this sense, this book can also serve as a propaedeutic tool for the exegesis of some passages of the Alexandra.
