Synopsis

Locative Expressions in the Attic Orators explains a linguistic edge of classical Greek This study surveys how proper names and a select set of words are used as locatives in Attic oratory, focusing on where, whither, and whence. It analyzes patterns across authors, notes the dominance of certain endings, and compares locative forms with their prepositional equivalents to reveal how Attic speech chose between forms.

The work blends philology with quantitative analysis. It counts all locatives found in major authors, discusses the share that are locative endings versus prepositional phrases, and tracks how usage varies by author, era, and text type. It also treats places not in Attica, the role of demes, and a few notable exceptions, such as spurious orations that affect statistics.

What you will experience
- A detailed look at endings like -@ev, -de, -zen, and - Seine kinds, and how often they appear.
- Comparisons of locatives with corresponding prepositional phrases and what that says about Attic usage.
- Examples drawn from Demosthenes, Lysias, Isocrates, Isaeus, Andocides, and others to illustrate patterns.
- Discussion of the role of demes and named places in shaping locative forms.

Ideal for readers of classical linguistics, Attic Greek studies, and anyone curious about how literature shapes language usage across major orators.
