Reviews

a valuable book D. M. Goldstein, Brwn Mawr Classical Review


D. deserves mush credit for giving a new focus to study of world order, and for the tenacity she shows in attempting a rigorous discussion of what are, in fact, difficult problems in the close reading of tragic dialogue. Nicholas Baechle, JHS With this book, D. convincingly demonstrates that word order in tragic dialogue can be explained insightfully by means of pragmatic notions, thereby showing that it is more like prose...It will be of great interest not only to Greek linguists, but to anyone who wishes to attain a better understanding of the language of Greek drama. Rutger Allan, The Classical Review a valuable book D. M. Goldstein, Brwn Mawr Classical Review
