Ancient Greek is commonly considered a ''synthetic'' or ''inflectional'' language, that is, a language with a high morpheme-per-word ratio. Nevertheless, already at the earliest stages of the language one finds traces of multi-word ''periphrastic'' constructions similar to those in the modern European languages, as in ἦν γινόµεν α, ''it was happening'', or ἔχειἀτιµά*sας , ''he has dishonoured''.Verbal Periphrasis in Ancient Greek offers a systematic investigation of periphrastic constructions with the verbs ''to be'' and ''to have'' based on an extensive corpus of texts, ranging from the eighth century BC to the eighth century AD. It clarifies the notions of ''verbal periphrasis'' and ''adjectival periphrasis'' from a theoretical point of view, and offers a broad introduction to a selection of recent advancements in linguistics. It includes a diachronic analysis which investigatesconstructions in all three main aspectual domains-perfect aspect, imperfective aspect, and perfective aspect-combining a qualitative with a quantitative approach. In doing so, the volume presents a substantial contribution to our understanding of the ancient Greek verbal system and its development overtime.

Varieties of Post-classical and Byzantine Greek

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

Subordination and Insubordination in Post-Classical Greek

From Syntax to Context

Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

2 200 kr

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

This volume presents the first comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of (in)subordination in Post-Classical Greek (III BCE – VI AD) from a modern linguistic perspective. The contributions provide new findings into the syntax of the Post-Classical Greek sentence along four main dimensions. First, several studies investigate the diachrony of subordinate and insubordinate clause structures, both in Post-Classical Greek and the history of Greek more generally. Second, contributions demarcate the influence of language contact on the continuity and change of clausal strategies. Third, the diverse syntactic and pragmatic factors involved in different types of finite and non-finite subordination are detailed. Fourth, the phenomenon of subordination as found in specific text types and collections is contextualized, incorporating insights from historical sociolinguistics. This book aims to be a reference point not only to Greek scholars working on the Post-classical period and the specific corpora addressed in the volume, but also to general linguists interested in the syntax of (in)subordination and the application of modern linguistic approaches to historical languages.

From Greece to Cappadocia

Ancient and Modern Greek Language Studies in Honour of Mark Janse

Mark Janse has spent an entire career being a philhellene. His passion for the Greek language has carried him from the inner workings of the Homeric hexameter to eschatology in Aristophanes, and from diglossia in the Ancient Greek world to clitic doubling in the history of Greek. Among his broad spectrum of interest, two things stand out: one is his enthusiasm for variation and change across time and space in the Hellenic universe; another is his love for the Asia Minor dialects of Cappadocia.This two-volume book, which is intended as a tribute to Mark from his colleagues, addresses precisely these two topics: the first volume has a broader scope, and addresses different types of varieties in Ancient and Medieval Greek, such as dialects, regiolects and idiolects, also including indepth studies of specific features. The second volume brings together a variety of studies that underline Mark's contribution to Cappadocian and more broadly the Asia Minor Greek dialects. While most contributions focus specifically on Cappadocian, some scholars look into other modern Greek dialects, including Pontic and Cypriot Greek.

Variation and Change in Ancient Greek Tense, Aspect and Modality

In this collective volume edited by Klaas Bentein, Mark Janse, and Jorie Soltic, some of the leading experts in the field explore variation and change in one of the core areas of Ancient Greek grammar: tense, aspect, and modality. The contributors investigate key aspects such as the existence of and competition between linguistic variants, the value of modern linguistic theory for the study of linguistic variation, and the interplay between various dimensions of variation. They focus on various stages of the Greek language (Archaic, Classical, Post-classical, and Byzantine), taking both qualitative and quantitative approaches. By doing so, they offer valuable insights in the multi-faced nature of the Greek verbal system, providing an incentive towards the further study of linguistic variation and change.
