About the course
The course surveys the history of the Greek language from Homer (alphabetic script) to the fall of Constantinople. It presents a broad account of the most important linguistic developments of Greek for the entire period together with an introduction to theoretical perspectives on language change. In addition to this broader perspective, you will specialise in either Ancient (c. 750 BCE-c. 500 CE) or Byzantine (c. 300-c. 1500 CE) Greek. The selected period is studied with greater attention to detail in the form of specific linguistic traits, dialects, genres and registers.
