This volume proposes a multidisciplinary approach to the history of Ancient Greek. Each of its ten papers offers a methodological example of how the study of Greek can be greatly enhanced by a truly multidisciplinary perspective in which the analysis of language interacts with epigraphy, textual philology and comparative linguistics, yet without neglecting the role that linguistic features play in the texts in which they are used, and hence in the culture which produced both. The first four papers tackle epic language, addressing eccentric pronouns and formulas, the role and semantics of the middle perfect, and the development of hexameter poetry in the colonial West. The next two papers are devoted to lyric poetry and its linguistic influence in Greek literature and tackle fragments by Corinna and Epicharmus respectively. The remaining four contributions look into a variety of topics spanning from early Ionic prose to the diachronic development of the Greek lexicon and its reception in Byzantine lexicography. They all provide examples of how Greek literary language evolved across the centuries, how it was perceived by ancient scholars, and what contribution modern linguistic approaches can provide to our understanding of both these issues.

Les treize études réunies dans ce volume sont consacrées au phénomène de la dérivation depuis l'indo-européen (sanskrit védique, tokharien, vieux norrois, vieux slave, grec ancien, latin) jusqu'à nos langues modernes. Les contributions réunies ici proposent, pour une part d'entre elles, de nouvelles hypothèses sur l'origine de certains suffixes, tandis que d'autres exposent les résultats de leurs évolutions et leur productivité. Les observations synchroniques et diachroniques sur le comportement suffixal concernent à la fois la sémantique, la question du développement du vocabulaire spécialisé et celle de leur rôle proprement grammatical, en particulier le rapport entre adjectif et substantif. Une contribution centrée sur l'accentuation forme la conclusion de l'ensemble.
