The Greek language, with its long-documented tradition and a great
variety of documents from different historical periods and
geographical areas, offers a wealth of data for a detailed synchronic
and diachronic study. Postclassical Greek in particular, as part of
the larger picture of Greek, provides important material for a
multifarious investigation of the language, including texts of all
types (i.e., literary and non-literary ones, texts of different genres
and registers, monolingual and multilingual texts). All this material
paints a colorful picture of data that constitute a real laboratory
for the historian of the language. Given the historical and cultural
circumstances of the period, as well as the linguistic map of the vast
geographical expanses of its use, Postclassical Greek is one of the
most fertile grounds for the study of factors, causes and processes of
its formative history and the subsequent developments. This conference
aims to bring together experts of Postclassical Greek who will present
their original research, ranging from Hellenistic to Early Medieval
Greek, touching on related synchronic and diachronic issues, and using
or possibly combining different theoretical frameworks (i.e.,
historical-comparative, philological or general linguistic ones).
Among the topics to be addressed are: theoretical and methodological
issues, periodization of the Greek language, language and textual
transmission, literary and non-literary language, dialectology,
formation of the Koine and its relation to the other dialects,
language variation, standard and substandard language varieties,
multilingualism, digital technology and creation of corpora. The
conference will additionally host four special thematic panels: “The
language of the magical papyri”, “Digital Grammar of Greek documentary
papyri”, “A historical socio-pragmatic approach to variation in
Ancient Greek non-literary texts”, and “Towards a new historical
grammar of Greek”.

The conference is the second event in the series of Postclassical
Greek Conferences, and this edition is hosted within the broader
conference series "Trends in Classics - Greek & Latin Linguistics".
