MORALES HARLEY, Roberto. Connectors in Ancient Greek. Káñina [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.2, pp.105-126. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v41i2.30478.

On the basis of Martín and Portolés’ (2000) and Calsamiglia and Tusón’s (2008) classifications for discourse markers and for connectors in Spanish, the paper proposes the following typology of ancient Greek connectors: 1. Additive (1.2. Those who add an equally valuable argument, 1.2. Those who add a more valuable argument), 2. With a causal basis (2.1. Final, 2.2. Causative, 2.3. Consecutive), and 3. Counter argumentative (3.1. Those who introduce a weak counter argument, 3.2. Those who introduce a strong counter argument). Thus, it offers an alternative for the study of conjunctions, adverbs, fixed expressions and, specially, particles in ancient Greek. As a result, a total of 8 examples of additive connectors (3 with equally valuable arguments and 5 with more valuable arguments), 14 examples of connectors with a causal basis (2 finals, 9 causatives and 3 consecutives), and 11 examples of counter argumentative connectors (9 with weak counter arguments and 2 with strong counter arguments) were identified in the Iliad IX.
