Excerpt from The Sounds and Inflections of the Greek Dialects: Ionic
The mabod that has been pursued in treating the forms as purely linguistic phenomena calls for a few words of explanation. As it. Has not but my purpose to write a Comparative Grammar from we point of view of Ionic, I have rarely endeavoured to trace the forms back to the pus-hellenic stage. Ionic has been compared throughout with other dialects, especially Attic. Beams of its pepsin: and xowérnr, Attic is, and. Will continue to be, the standard by which philologians measure the manifold aberrations' of dialects less highly developed, or less adapted than itself to serve as vehicles for the expression of Hellenic thought. To the mention of difficult forms I have added brief explanations in the belief that these would prove of service to English and American students of Greek grammar. Many of thme explanations refer to articles scattered up and down in the various journals or in monographs not always easy of access. The student may find here and there in the following pages a contribution to the solution of some of these difficulties, the existence of which has constantly been emphasized; but in crossing the frontier of disputed questions I have attempted calv to bring the book to the level of the comparative grammar of to - day, and, while confessing my inability to arrive at a decision when the evidence seemed insufficient, to set forth briefly and criticize existing theories.
