The reconstruction of Indo-European

My current work on linguistics will culminate in a monograph on Menander of Athens, analysing the contribution his text makes to the history of Greek.

Menander, Aristophanes and other classical comedy
Roman satire, Martial and Petronius
The Second Sophistic, Athenaeus and Philostratus
Other ancient texts, particularly those that present interesting linguistic features or problems.
