Abstract:
Coptic, the latest phase of the Ancient Egyptian language, existed from
beginning to end in a multilingual space. The indigenous Egyptian language
had been in contact with Greek – and other languages – from the first
millennium BCE, as well as Arabic, since the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641 CE.
In effect, this is the earliest and best-attested situation of stable language
contact in the ancient world. It is also a rich source for studies on lexical
borrowing, since about 5000 loanwords from Greek and some 500 from Arabic form
part of the lexicon of Coptic at various stages. These loanwords are
documented in a wide variety of genres and registers, from the language of
theology to that of science and everyday life. The focus of the volume is
mainly lexical borrowing from Greek into Coptic, but other aspects will be
treated as well, e.g., the sociolinguistic situation of Greek and Coptic,
Coptic loanwords in Greek, Arabic loanwords in Coptic, and pre-Coptic
evidence for lexical borrowing. A special focus will be on the
sociolinguistic and functional aspects of lexical borrowing in Coptic.
