"Ostraka in the Collection of New York University is a comprehensive edition and commentary of 77 ostraka, or potsherds with ancient texts written on them, from Greco-Roman and late antique Egypt. Seventy-two of these ostraca are housed in NYU Special Collections, originally purchased by Caspar Kraemer in 1932, then the chair of the NYU Classics Department. Although Kraemer advertised the imminent publication of the texts in 1934 and later collaborated with the famed papyrologist Herbert Youtie, neither completed the project. The texts in this small collection span the 2nd cent. BCE to the 8th cent. CE and include both Greek and Coptic texts. The majority, however, form a coherent dossier of tax receipts related to mortuary activities in Upper Egypt during the reign of Augustus (texts 7-70, dated from roughly the last quarter of the 1st cent BCE to 12 CE). The five ostraca published in this volume not held by NYU include one that had been part of Kraemer's original purchase but was subsequently lost (thankfully preserved in a photograph in Youtie's archive at the University of Michigan), and four ostraca now held by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The latter four texts were purchased separately and published previously, but clearly belong originally to the same group of texts. They are included in this volume both for the sake of completeness and because the authors were able to improve the readings in light of the context provided by the dossier. In addition to the scholarly edition of these texts, the volume contains a full discussion of their provenance, the taxes, the taxpayers and collectors, and a ceramological analysis of the sherds"--

This volume brings together about twenty contributions on the syntax and semantics of predicates and arguments, written by international specialists in the field. The formal architecture of the predicate (verbal and nominal) and the morpho-syntactic means of marking its arguments are addressed, with particular attention to the dative. This book is mainly focused on French, while putting it in perspective with other languages, Romance (Spanish, Romanian), Germanic (Dutch, English) and Slavic (Russian), not to mention the classical languages (Latin, Greek) and Indo-Iranian (Sanskrit). Ce volume réunit une vingtaine de contributions sur la syntaxe et la sémantique des prédicats et des arguments, rédigées par des spécialistes internationaux de la question. Sont abordés l’architecture formelle du prédicat (verbal et nominal) et les moyens morpho-syntaxiques de marquer ses arguments, avec une attention toute particulière pour le datif. Cet ouvrage s’intéresse principalement au français, tout en le mettant en perspective avec d’autres langues, romanes (l’espagnol, le roumain), germaniques (le néerlandais, l’anglais) et slaves (le russe), pour ne pas oublier les langues classiques (le latin, le grec) et indo-iraniennes (le sanskrit).

This collective volume contains thirty six original studies on various aspects of Ancient Greek language, linguistics and philology written by an international group of leading authorities in the field. The essays are organized in five thematic groups covering a wide variety of issues of ancient Greek linguistics, ranging from epigraphy and the study of individual dialects to various other aspects of the structure of the language, such as phonetics and phonology, morphology, lexicon and word formation, etymology, metrics as well as many syntactic matters and problems of pragmatics and stylistics of the language; a number of essays move in the middle ground where language, linguistics and philology crosscut and cross-fertilize each other with the application of linguistic theory to the study of classical texts. The work is of special relevance to scholars interested in Greek linguistics in general and in particular aspects of the Greek language.
