This book includes an introduction to the Modern Greek verb system, Modern Greek verb tenses and English equivalents, sample English verb conjugation, Modern Greek verbs fully conjugated in all the tenses, alphabetically arranged, and an English-Greek verb index."--Cover.

All the Greek Verbs has established itself as an indispensable guide for all learners of Greek. In a clear and simple format, the book sets out over 13,000 verb forms, which are listed alphabetically, and referred to the verbs from which they derive. Poetic and dialect forms are differentiated and grammatical tables set out standard endings and inflexions, making it easy for the student of Greek to navigate their way through the language.

Situated at the crossroads of comparative philology, classics and general historical linguistics, this study is the first ever attempt to outline in full the developments which led from the remotest recoverable stages of the Indo-European proto-language to the complex verbal system encountered in Homer and other early Greek texts. By combining the methods of comparative and internal reconstruction with a careful examination of large collections of primary data and insights gained from the study of language change and linguistic typology, Andreas Willi uncovers the deeper reasons behind many surface irregularities and offers a new understanding of how categories such as aspect, tense and voice interact. Drawing upon evidence from all major branches of Indo-European, and providing exhaustive critical coverage of scholarly debate on the most controversial issues, this book will be an essential reference tool for anyone seeking orientation in this burgeoning but increasingly fragmented area of linguistic research.
