Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"Within the field of ancient bilingualism, Sicily represents a unique terrain for
analysis as a result of its incredibly rich linguistic history, in which 'colonial'
languages belonging to branches as diverse as Italic (Oscan and Latin), Greek and
Semitic (Phoenician) interacted with the languages of the natives (the elusive Sicel,
Sicanian and Elymian). The result of this ancient melting-pot was a culture characterised
by 'postcolonial' features such as ethnic hybridity, multilingualism and artistic
and literary experimentation. While Greek soon emerged as the leading language, dominating
official communication and literature, epigraphic sources and indirect evidence show
that the minority languages held their ground down to the fifth century BCE, and in
some cases beyond. The first two parts of the volume discuss these languages and their
interaction with Greek, while the third part focuses on the sociolinguistic revolution
brought about by the arrival of the Romans"--
