  • The Classical norm and varieties of Post-classical Greek : expressions of anteriority and posteriority in a corpus of official documents (I-II CE)
    Kavčič, Jerneja, 07.04.1975-
    This chapter examines how anteriority and posteriority are expressed in infinitive complement clauses as attested in a corpus of official papyrus documents (I-II CE). It is found that both the ... perfect and the aorist infinitive are used in the function of the perfective past, and that the future infinitive is relatively common despite the gradual omission of the Ancient Greek synthetic future. It is argued that these documents can also reflect Post-classical syntactic phenomena, in contrast to the view that Post-classical official documents closely follow the example of Classical Greek. In addition to official documents (such as receipts), which may display lower-register features, non-Classical phenomena can also be found in documents displaying no significant divergences from Classical Greek (namely, in mostly reports and applications). Furthermore, it is found that the Classical Greek construction of the aorist infinitive conveying anteriority is often a modern editor's suggestion rather than a certain reading, although it is sometimes attested in mostly higher-register documents from my corpus.
