The
Greek koinè shows a double development in the crystallised Greek
language (intended for literary, administrative and ecclesiastical uses)
and the language of everyday use subject to innovations that would lead
to the birth neo-Greek, which was never the official language for
written documents. This situation determined the almost absolute lack of
documents that allow us to reconstruct the evolution of the Greek
language from the late age to the early Middle Ages. This work
contributes to the reconstruction of this gap by analysing the
Greek language of the the private letters written on papyrus, a
documentary typology probably close to the spoken register. The analysis
isolated four peculiar phenomena of the morphosyntactic evolution of
the Greek (genitive-dative syncretism, disappearance of the infinitive,
replacement of the perfect tense with equivalent periphrases and
disposition of the clitics), offering a renewed picture.
La
doppia evoluzione della koinè greca in lingua cristallizzata, destinata a
usi letterari, amministrativi ed ecclesiastici, e lingua d’uso,
sottoposta alle innovazioni che avrebbero portato al neogreco, ma mai
lingua ufficiale del registro scritto, ha determinato la quasi assoluta
mancanza di documenti che permettano di ricostruire l’evoluzione della
lingua greca dall’età tarda fino all’Alto Medioevo. Il lavoro interviene
in questo gap prendendo in esame il greco delle epistole private
su papiro, tipologia documentaria verosimilmente vicina al registro
parlato. L’analisi condotta ha isolato quattro fenomeni peculiari
dell’evoluzione morfosintattica del greco (sincretismo genitivo-dativo,
scomparsa dell’infinito, sostituzione del perfetto con perifrasi
equivalenti e disposizione dei clitici), offrendone un quadro rinnovato.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
