Aristotle, a supreme intellectual figure, transformed both philosophy and other disciplines such as natural science and literary studies. Yet his own style and language have been overlooked, although he stands chronologically between classical Attic prose and the Hellenistic koine of most prose genres after the late 4th-century BCE growth of the Greek world. This project addresses his place in the history of literature and language, especially in relation to Homer, drama, rhetoric and Plato, writing a new chapter in the narrative of prose-writing that has excluded him. It scrutinises all his treatises largely regarded as authentic, plus the contested Athenaion Politeia, using methodologies including 'traditional' literary criticism, narratology, stylometric software and historical linguistics, allowing an unprecedented appreciation, in relationship to scientific method and communicative medium, of his illustrations, allusions, syntax, figures of speech, sentence type, paragraph and treatise structure, language and vocabulary. The outputs offer complementary perspectives: 1) illustrations and allusions; 2) sentence types, figures, tenses and relationship with oral communication; 3) vocabulary, language and place in the evolution of Greek; 4) how ancient philosophical commentaries responded to his style; 5) dedicated studies of single treatises or stylistic and philosophical topics (International Conference); 6) annotated bibliography (Website). The results will transform Aristotelian studies by providing the first assessment of Aristotle's neglected status as writer; this will enhance future studies, especially understanding how Aristotle's distinctive literary voice interacts with his scientific method and makes his ideas more lucid, vivid and memorable. The results will also inform future investigations of the Peripatetic treatises for which Aristotelian authorship has been suspected and the precise nature of the style to which his heirs and commentators responded.

亚里士多德，一个至高无上的知识分子，改变了哲学和其他学科，如自然科学和文学研究。然而，他自己的风格和语言一直被忽视，尽管他站在古典阿提卡散文和大多数散文类型的希腊化的koine之间，在公元前4世纪后期希腊世界的增长之后。这个项目解决了他在文学和语言史上的地位，特别是与荷马，戏剧，修辞和柏拉图的关系，在散文写作的叙事中写下了新的篇章，将他排除在外。它审查了他的所有论文主要被认为是真实的，加上有争议的雅典Politeia，使用方法包括“传统”文学批评，叙事学，文体软件和历史语言学，允许前所未有的赞赏，在科学方法和沟通媒介的关系，他的插图，典故，句法，修辞格，句子类型，段落和论文结构，语言和词汇。这些产出提供了互补的视角：1）插图和典故; 2）句子类型，数字，时态和与口头交流的关系; 3）词汇，语言和希腊语演变中的位置; 4）古代哲学评论如何回应他的风格; 5）对单一论文或文体和哲学主题的专门研究（国际会议）; 6）注释书目（网站）。结果将通过提供对亚里士多德作为作家被忽视的地位的第一次评估来改变亚里士多德的研究;这将加强未来的研究，特别是了解亚里士多德独特的文学声音如何与他的科学方法相互作用，使他的思想更加清晰，生动和难忘。这些结果也将为未来的调查提供信息，这些调查涉及到被怀疑是阿斯特丽安作者的《逍遥游》论文，以及他的继承人和评论员所回应的风格的确切性质。
