By examining linguistic variation in Aristophanic comedy, Andreas
Willi opens up a new perspective on intra-dialectal diversity in
Classical Attic Greek. A representative range of registers,
technical languages, sociolects, and (comic) idiolects is described
and analysed. Stylistic and statistical observations are combined
and supplemented by typological comparisons with material drawn
from sociolinguistic research on modern languages. The resulting
portrayal of the Attic dialect deepens our understanding of various
socio-cultural phenomena reflected in Aristophanes' work, such as
the spread of 'sophistic' culture, the re-evaluation of gender
roles, and the status of foreigners in Athenian society.
