“…Paralelno postojanje starih i novih oblika ne olakšava zadatak pa opis fonologije helenističkog grčkog u određenoj mjeri mora biti hipotetski, što ističe, primjerice, i Brixhe (2010). Zbog velikog broja varijacija početkom helenističkog razdoblja, kakve brojnim primjerima ilustrira primjerice Teodorsson (1977), ovaj će rad prikazati jezično stanje u rimsko doba kad je većina fonoloških procesa, od kojih su neki, poput monoftongizacije diftonga, počeli već u klasičnom periodu, završena.…”

Dative for Accusative Case Interchange in Epistolary Formulas in Greek Papyrus Letters

Greek papyrus letters preserve not only instances of the replacement of the dative case; they also show the use of the dative instead of the accusative case as direct object and disjoint infinitival subject. This interchange is mostly found in epistolary phrases, namely the salutation formula (ἀσπάζομαί σε) and the initial (εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν) and final (ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι) health wishes. The phonetic similarity of the pronouns might have created the circumstances for case confusion. Contamination of the constructions reflects the difficulties of the scribes to construct conservative epistolary phrases and, thereby, diachronic phraseological variation might reflect language change. In salutation formulas, the use of a dative Addressee could be explained by analogical overextension from the category of communication verbs taking a dative complement. The decline of the accusative and infinitive construction might be one of the reasons why the accusative disjoint infinitival subject is replaced by the dative case in health wishes.

Aspects of variations in Byzantine Greek Documents of the patriarchal chancellery of Constantinople (14th c.)

A unique collection of about 900 Greek documents, issued by the chancellery of the Patriarch of Constantinople in the 14 th c., provides insight into the linguistic level at one place in the capital of the Byzantine Empire. So far research focussed nearly exclusively on their historical or juristic interpretation, the big data for historical sociolinguistics -a general desideratum for Byzantine literature (Hinterberger 2015) -were not taken into account, only some text pragmatic aspects and the use of spoken Greek elements in letters sent abroad were addressed in studies and did unfortunately not entail further investigation. This article focusses on a sociolinguistic point of view and outlines two aspects of variations: a) in order to meet the addressee's linguistic level and b) to "exclude" the addressee from the learned community (see also Hickey 2012). Three case studies exemplify the emphasis that is put on the intentional use of linguistic variations even in a chancellery with more or less rigid forms.
