Description
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.
