This paper considers the Greek language as a member of the Standard Average European (SAE) linguistic area as defined by Haspelmath (1998, 2001). After a brief presentation of the model, there follows a detailed analysis from this perspective of four selected features in Greek: relative clauses with relative pronouns, the “have”-perfect with a passive participle, participial passives, and negation. The approach applied focuses on specifics that concern standard and non-standard varieties, not only in the language system itself but also in its diachronic development. The results are then measured using Seiler’s (2019) classification of SAE features, with an eye to enriching the classification both empirically and theoretically.

Concordia Discors vs Discordia Concors: Researches into Comparative Literature, Contrastive Linguistics, Cross-Cultural and Translation Strategies

This article focuses on the concept of linguistic area as it is reflected in research concerned with the Balkan and the European Sprachbunds. Both these diffusion areas have been identified or understood as Other in relation with the West and in the world-wide context, respectively. Several distinctive features that characterise the areas under scrutiny and identify them as Sprachbunds are dealt with in this paper. Our research briefly touches upon the way in which several historical circumstances have affected the cultural contact that lead to language change in these two linguistic areas.
