- Short description of contents:
- During the 1st millennium BCE, Greek language spread throughout Asia
Minor, and its diffusion, which is reflected in a large number of local
inscriptions found in different Anatolian regions, inevitably led to
interactions, at different levels, between Greek and the epichoric
languages of Anatolia. Such language contact resulted in several
interference phenomena, both unidirectional and bidirectional, that can
be observed not only in multilingual inscriptions, where they are most
expected, but also in monolingual ones. Reflexes of such interactions
are also found in Greek literary works, as well as in later scholarly
sources, especially lexicographic ones of Byzantine times, among which a
prominent role is played by Stephanus of Byzantium and Hesychius. This
kind of evidence, traditionally referred to as glosses, is of special
importance for the knowledge of the Anatolian languages themselves,
because most of time they are languages of fragmentary attestation.
Through a philological and linguistic analysis of such materials and a
discussion on selected cases of language interference, this chapter will
provide an overview of the role of the Greek language during the 1st
millennium BCE in two particular regions of Anatolia, namely Lycia and
Lydia, its interactions with the two Anatolian languages, together with
the metalinguistic information retrieved from late Greek sources.
