Abstract:
Linguistic varieties such as female speech, foreigner talk, and colloquial
language have not gone unnoticed when it comes to Classical Greek, but little
is known about later periods of the Greek language. In this collective volume
leading experts in the field outline some of the most important varieties of
Post-classical and Byzantine Greek, basing themselves on a broad range of
literary and documentary sources, and advancing a number of innovative
methodologies. Close attention is paid to the linguistic features that
characterize these varieties, with in-depth discussions of lexical,
morpho-syntactic, orthographic, and metrical variation, as well as the
interrelationship between these different types of variation. The volume thus
offers valuable insights into the nature of Post-classical and Byzantine
Greek, laying the foundation for future studies of linguistic variation in
these later stages of the language, while at the same time providing a point
of comparison for Classical Greek scholarship.
