Interjections in Ancient Greek have long lacked a comprehensive account, despite their frequent occurrence in major texts. The present study of their semantics and pragmatics, encompassing all items encountered in Greek drama from the 5th century BC, applies a moderate minimalism, theory-driven method. Readers are offered a thorough and detailed study of this elusive, and in several respects deviant, class of linguistic items.

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary perspective.

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language.

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.

Industry Reviews

"Nordgren presents his methodology and evidence carefully throughout, which will allow his conclusions to be tested in the future, and it is hoped that he continues to pave the way in this field."
Simon Oswald in: Journal of Hellenic Studies 137 (2017) 287-88

"[..] the chief accomplishment of Nordgren''s book: anyone who wants more information on the difference between interjections like ?????, ????, and ??? now has an obvious first place to start."
Coulter H. George in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.11.07
