Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the foundational principles of Greek vocabulary and grammar. It particularly emphasizes the highly regular structure of Greek words and the characteristic simplicity of its grammatical rules. The author's approach is original in that it teaches the Greek language using the direct method. In this method, new words and grammar rules are introduced in a natural and informal style, rather than through memorization of abstract rules and lists of exceptions. The book contains numerous examples drawn from classical Greek texts. The book traces the evolution of Greek from its earliest forms to the elaborate grammar of classical Attic Greek. Through this historical approach, readers can not only understand the 'building blocks' of the Greek language but also understand the process by which these elements came to work together to form the rich language we know today. The approach taken in this book is well-suited to learners with little or no prior knowledge of Greek. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
