Subject Description | In this subject students learn to identify the characteristics of phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon which distinguish informal, colloquial and non-standard varieties of Modern Greek from the formal standard language. Theories of linguistic variation, including differences between spoken and written forms, informal and formal style/registers, and regional/social dialects, are studied with specific reference to Modern Greek. The impact on the Greek language of globalisation, information technology and political correctness are also considered. Linguistic skills will also be extended through projects developed and reported on in class, and involving interaction with the local Greek community. |
