The cosmopolitan population of Late Hellenistic Delos is an illustrative case study for investigating the complex and multi-layered relationship between culture, ethnicity, identity and language behaviour, as well as the communication strategies in intergroup and interpersonal relations. While multilingualism functions as a cultural trait which characterise the entire community, the role of language as a marker of identity surfaces instead at a smaller-scale level, that of intergroup relations.

Abstract
The cosmopolitan population of Late Hellenistic Delos is an illustrative case study for investigating the complex and multi-layered relationship between culture, ethnicity, identity and language behaviour, as well as the communication strategies in intergroup and interpersonal relations. While multilingualism functions as a cultural trait which characterise the entire community, the role of language as a marker of identity surfaces instead at a smaller-scale level, that of intergroup relations.File in questo prodotto:
