Abstract:

The Greek language has a written history of more than 3,000 years. While the
classical, Hellenistic and modern periods of the language are well researched,
the intermediate stages are much less well known, but of great interest to
those curious to know how a language changes over time. The geographical area
where Greek has been spoken stretches from the Aegean Islands to the Black Sea
and from Southern Italy and Sicily to the Middle East, largely corresponding
to former territories of the Byzantine Empire and its successor states. This
Grammar draws on a comprehensive corpus of literary and non-literary texts
written in various forms of the vernacular to document the processes of change
between the eleventh and eighteenth centuries, processes which can be seen as
broadly comparable to the emergence of the Romance languages from Medieval
Latin. Regional and dialectal variation in phonology and morphology are
treated in detail.
