Homeric Voices: Discourse, Memory, Gender
Minchin, Elizabeth (Reader in the School of Language Studies, Australian National University)
Drawing on the disciplines of sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and cognitive psychology, Elizabeth Minchin studies the speeches that Homer attributes to his characters. She describes how the poet may have used his memory for everyday talk to construct such speeches, and examines how they reflect the speaker's age, status, and gender.
