Antonín Bartoněk Book order

The submitted monograph builds on Professor Bartonek's earlier work, presenting a translation of his recent publication that compiles 174 selected Ancient Greek inscriptions from approximately 30 dialects. These inscriptions are categorized into five main dialect groups: Mycenaean Greek, Attic-Ionic, Arcadian-Cypriot, Aeolic, and West Greek (or Doric), spanning from around 1400 BC to the 3rd-5th centuries AD across Greece and its colonies. Each inscription is provided in its original Classical Greek form alongside modern English translations, accompanied by brief grammatical commentaries and around 60 figures and diagrams. This collection offers a rich overview of Ancient Greek dialect relationships and essential information on the classification of these dialects. The inscriptions cover a wide range of themes, including religious, historical, economic, and legal content, as well as moralistic and humorous notes. Professor Antonín Bartonek, a distinguished scholar in Classical Philology at Masaryk University, specializes in Mycenaean Greek and has contributed significantly to the understanding of Ancient Greek dialects and their historical context. His extensive research also encompasses ethno-linguistic development, Homerology, and comparative analyses of Greek and Latin within the broader European linguistic landscape. The monograph serves as a comprehensive resource for scholars interested in Ancient Greek dialectology.

Antonin Bartonek - Masaryk University - In spite of many studies dealing with the individual Greek and Latin syntactical topics, a systematic comparative Graeco-Latin sentence syntax has remained without any global analysis so far. That is why the author started research into this area several years ago, aiming at a comparative analysis of the Greek and Latin dependent clauses, i.e. i) the subject/object clauses, ii) the adverbial clauses, and iii) the relative clauses, including their nominal equivalents such as infinitives, participles (L/G), as well as gerundia, gerundiva and supina I/II (L). At the same time, he was dealing with a number of modern European languages, both Romance and Germanic, in comparison with Latin and its tradition, and the Slavonic languages predominantly in comparison with Ancient Greek (and Old Church Slavonic). The "didactic" background of this activity was reflected in more than 550 selected sentences (ca. 300 Greek, some 260 in Latin) for practical language drill. - In 2008, A. Barton?k published his Czech version of the present Comparative Syntax, dealing with all the above-said constructions, while analysing also the problems of both the deontic and epistemic sentence modality.
