Although the word order of dialogue in Greek tragedy may seem
tangential to the concerns of those whose focus is on the Koine of the
Greek Bible, there's been some discussion of Helma Dik's previous work
on Greek word order in Herodotus. There's now a new BMCR review of her
2007 book entitled _Word Order in Greek Tragic Dialogue_. Although the
review is not wholly favorable, it nevertheless attributes to the work
a considerable importance. Most useful for our (B-Greekers')
perspective is the review's account of Dik's categories and principles
applied in analysis of Greek word order. Some may find this useful.
