Abstract

This work reviews the most important functions of ἔτι in the corpus of classical oratory (specifically in Lysias, Isocrates and Demosthenes) and in the Platonic dialogues: predicate adjunct (1), modifier of the head of a phrase (2), focus adverb (3), apodotic or correlative (4), conjunctive adverb (5) (the adverb can connect phrases or clauses) and discourse marker (6). The functions of ἔτι as a discourse marker found in our corpus are as follows: discourse structurer (organiser), co-oriented connector (additive and consecutive) and counter-argumentative connector not co-oriented (concessive-adversative).
