Greek Word Order

In this volume the eminent classicist K. J. Dover presents a decade of work on the problems of Greek word order.Based on a series of lectures he gave at the University of Cambridge in 1959, the book is written in a lucid manner that maintains the reader's interest.He explains that although Greek appears to be indeterminate, there are certain conventions that are followed in its construction.He then develops his argument at a more technical level focusing on lexical, semantic, syntactical and 'logical' determinants.This is an insightful study for all classicists as well as those generally interested in languages.
