Abstract
Abstract:This article examines the relationship between Herodotus' observations about languages that change through contact with each other and modern understandings of these phenomena. Concepts invoked include imperfect learning, diglossia, linguistic convergence, mixed languages, borrowing, and language death. Not only does Herodotus appear to describe (if sometimes vaguely) real phenomena, but there is frequently external evidence for language contact in the geographic and cultural areas that he describes. Herodotus emerges as an author capable of treating language in sophisticated ways, both as a tool and as a subject of study in its own right.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1880, American Journal of Philology (AJP) has helped to shape American classical scholarship. Today, the Journal has achieved worldwide recognition as a forum for international exchange among classicists and philologists by publishing original research in classical literature, philology, linguistics, history, society, religion, philosophy, and cultural and material studies. Book review sections are featured in every issue. AJP is open to a wide variety of contemporary and interdisciplinary approaches, including literary interpretation and theory, historical investigation, and textual criticism.
