Part of the Advanced Language Series, this is a revised edition of The Greek Dialects, first published by Chicago University Press in 1955. It offers clarity and conciseness on a subject which has too often allowed to remain obscure. As such, it has become the standard scholarly introduction and reference work on questions of dialect; and though much valuable additional work has been done on the subject since its publication, the book retains its original virtues and still provides a valuable starting point of reference. The Advanced Language Series reissues important books on Greek and Latin Language (and associated areas) which have been unavailable for some time or have not previously appeared in readily affordable paperback format. They are intended for the reference shelves of all scholars and students of classical languages.
