| Publisher Description: English summary: After borrowing their alphabet from the Phoenicians, the Greeks invented grammar, which is initially the art of letters, grammata. Platos' grammatike techne is the mastery of reading and writing. Elementary grammar, however, subject of school masters (grammarians), progressively expanded its ambitions in order to become the savant study of written works and Greek language - it is the subject of grammatikos. It is for the most part in Alexandria where generations of grammarians gave autonomy to this new discipline. Their activity can be chronologically situated between the 3rd and 2nd century BC and the 1st and 2nd century AD. Jean Lallot's 26 studies touch upon various aspects - problems and diverse approaches, technical terminology, theory of the parts of discourse, syntax - the origins and the development of the discipline bound to provide the epistemological base of modern linguistics. French text. French description: Apres avoir emprunte leur alphabet aux Pheniciens, les Grecs ont invente la grammaire, qui est au depart l'art des lettres, grammata: la grammatike techne de Platon est la maitrise de la lecture et de l'ecriture. Mais la grammaire elementaire, domaine du maitre d'ecole (grammatistes), a progressivement elargi ses ambitions pour devenir l'etude savante des oeuvres ecrites et de la langue (grecque)--c'est le domaine du grammatikos. Dans le sillage des philosophes precurseurs (Platon, Aristote, les stoiciens), c'est en grande partie a Alexandrie que des generations de grammairiens ont donne corps et confere une autonomie a la nouvelle discipline. On peut situer chronologiquement leur activite entre le IIIe -IIe siecle avant J.-C., epoque des savants philologues de la grande Bibliotheque--au premier rang desquels Aristarque de Samothrace (ca 217-145)--et le IIe siecle de notre ere, domine par l'activite d'Apollonius Dyscole et de son fils Herodien. Les vingt-six etudes de Jean Lallot regroupees ici eclairent sous de multiples aspects--problematiques et demarches, terminologie technique, theorie des parties du discours, syntaxe--les origines et le developpement d'une discipline vouee a devenir la premiere du trivium medieval et a fournir le socle epistemologique de la linguistique moderne. |
