| Description: |
This book traces the history of the Greek language from the Hellenistic period. The aim is both to analyze the changing structure of a language stabilized by a long and continuous literary tradition, and to show how changing historical circumstances are reflected in its development. |
| Synopsis: |
To speakers of modern Greek the Homeric poems of the 7th century BC are not written in a foreign language. The Greek language has enjoyed a continuous tradition from earliest times until now. This book traces its history from the immediately post-classical or Hellenistic period to the present day. The aim is both to analyse the changing structure of a language stabilised by a peculiarly long and continuous literary tradition, and to show how changing historical circumstances are reflected in its development. In particular the historical roots of modern Greek's internal bilingualism are traced. |
