On the basis of Herodotus? Histories, he demonstrates that there are in fact systematic correspondences between clause structure and meaning. Crucial to this new model of the Greek clause is Wackernagel?s Law, the generalization that enclitics and postpositives occur in ?second position,? as these classes of words provide a stable anchor for analyzing sentence structure. The results of this work not only restore word order as an interpretive dimension of Greek texts, but also provide a framework for the investigation of other areas of syntax in Greek, as well as archaic Indo-European more broadly. 410 0$aBrill's studies in Indo-European languages & linguistics. 517 1 $aWackernagel's law in Herodotus 606 $aGreek language$xSyntax 615 0$aGreek language$xSyntax. 676 $a485 700 $aGoldstein$b David M.$f1976-$01654173 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958684403321 996 $aClassical Greek syntax$94005845 997 $aUNINA
