Project description
The project aims to investigate relativization phenomena in Post-Classical Greek through a corpus of
Greek documentary papyri from Egypt constituted by letters, petitions and contracts from the first to
the eight century AD, exploring in particular the link between the linguistic variation and the
sociolinguistic distribution of relative clauses.
