L’élite des linguistes grecs au xxe siècle

Abstract

Focused on Manolis Triandafyllidis (1883-1959), Georgios Babiniotis (1939-) and Anastasios Phivos Christidis (1946-2004), this paper aims to examine to what extent these three linguists are a representative and emblematic sample of what we could call the “twentieth century Greek linguists’ elite”. Our approach, both empirical and theoretical, while reflecting a partial vision (it concerns only three cases), could nevertheless lay the foundations for a more thorough and a diachronic study of the Greek linguists’ elite, and contribute to the reflexion on the notion of elite.
