By David Beatson Murdoch

Book Overview

""A Note on Indo-European Phonology: With Especial Reference to the True Pronunciation of Ancient Greek"" is a book written by David Beatson Murdoch in 1887. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the phonology of the Indo-European language family, with a specific focus on the pronunciation of Ancient Greek. The author argues that the traditional pronunciation of Ancient Greek, which is based on the modern Greek pronunciation, is incorrect and that the true pronunciation of the language should be reconstructed based on the phonology of other Indo-European languages. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Indo-European phonology, such as vowel and consonant sounds, accentuation, and syllable structure. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes numerous examples and references to other works in the field. It is considered a valuable resource for scholars and students of linguistics, classics, and ancient Greek language and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
