SLINGS -- Languages on Stage: Aristophanic Language, Cultural History, and Athenian Identity -- ANDREAS WILLI -- Comic Elements in Tragic Language: The Case of Aeschylus' Oresteia -- ALAN H. SOMMERSTEIN -- [.]: Language and Character in Antiphanes -- GREGORY W. DOBROV -- Some Orthographical Variants in the Papyri of Later Greek Comedy -- W. GEOFFREY ARNOTT -- Speech within Speech in Menander -- RENÉ NÜNLIST - The contributions to this volume illustrate how the linguistic study of Greek comedy can deepen our knowledge of the intricate connections between the dramatic texts and their literary and socio-cultural environment. Topics discussed include the relationship of comedy and iambus, the world of Doric comedy in Sicily, figures of speech and obscene vocabulary in Aristophanes, comic elements in tragedy, language and cultural identity in fifth-century Athens, linguistic characterization in Middle Comedy, the textual transmission of New Comedy, and the interaction of language and dramatic technique in Menander. Research in these topics and in related areas is reviewed in an extensive bibliographical essay. While the main focus is on comedy, the diversity of the approaches adopted (including narratology, pragmatics, lexicology, dialectology, sociolinguistics, and textual criticism) ensures that much of the work also applies to different genres and is relevant to linguists and literary scholars in other disciplines.
