Descripción del proyecto
Descubrir el fascinante viaje de los griegos de la Antigüedad
En las profundidades de la historia lingüística se esconde un misterio insondable: los enigmáticos préstamos prehelénicos que se infiltraron en la lengua griega antigua durante la Edad del Bronce egea. Estos antiguos préstamos, que se remontan al griego micénico, han desconcertado a los académicos durante años. Los intentos de explicarlos a partir de una única fuente han tropezado con obstáculos metodológicos. Con el apoyo de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, el equipo del proyecto PHILOGLOSSA creará una base de datos lingüísticos de libre acceso que permitirá realizar análisis nuevos. En estudios arqueogenéticos recientes se ponen de relieve las intensas interacciones entre los primeros hablantes de griego y los habitantes originales del Egeo. Los lingüistas indoeuropeos, los prehistoriadores del Egeo, los arqueólogos y los genetistas encontrarán los resultados del proyecto de un valor incalculable. Este empeño promete desvelar hilos ocultos de nuestro patrimonio lingüístico y cultural.
Objetivo
PHILOGLOSSA aims to provide a critical reassessment and analysis of the loanwords borrowed into the Ancient Greek language of from the prehistoric languages early Greek speakers encountered in the Bronze Age Aegean. These 'Pre-Hellenic' (or 'Pre-Greek') loanwords have long been recognised to constitute a significant layer in the Greek lexicon, the earliest of which are already present in Mycenaean Greek attested by Linear B documents. Despite the phenomenon being well known, the historical origins and linguistic interpretation of these loanwords have remained controversial, and attempts to explain them as from a single source (as per the interpretational framework of the latest, controversial Etymological Dictionary of Greek [2010, Leiden] by Robert Beekes) has been fraught with methodological problems. PHILOGLOSSA will build an open-access linguistic database to facilitate a fresh analysis of the material that will be conducted as the main research activities of the project. As new archaeogenetic studies have provided new evidence strongly suggesting intensive and sustained social and cultural interaction between the incoming early Greek speakers and the earlier inhabitants of the Aegean, it is of crucial importance to re-evaluate the linguistic evidence for these exchanges preserved in the Ancient Greek language. As such the results of PHILOGLOSSA will be of interest not only to those interested in the history of the Greek language, but also to Indo-European comparative linguists, Aegean prehistorians, archaeologists, and geneticists more broadly.
