Course Content (Syllabus)
The course delves into the main phonologic, morphosyntactic and lexical changes that the spoken Greek had to undergo during the hellenistic as well as early and later medieval periods. In this framework, travelling through space and time, we touch upon the crucial position of the Hellenistic Koine as a qualitative evolution of Ancient Greek and as a starting point for the development of certain characteristics that carve the profile of Medieval (and Modern Greek) over time. Additionally, the notion of linguistic change as well as the factors/mechanisms leading to it, and the ways of identifying it through numerous sources, are emphasized throughout the course. The issues of the utilization of the sources and similar methodological questions lead us to underline the priority of the spoken over the written language, even if the latter constitutes almost the only source of language history.
Consequently, changes in spoken language are rendered as a nodal point in our research, without ignoring the tradition of written language and its impact on the spoken language.
Finally, the classic approach that is implemented in the framework of the course is based on viewing diachrony as a sum of consequent synchronies, as well as of each synchrony as a combination and coexistence of older and newer elements that both promote linguistic change and assure linguistic continuity.
