Dialect genesis in post-classical Greek
The talk revolves around the major question of the dialectal split of the Greek language after the Hellenistic Koine. It offers a series of methodological principles for linguistic research on Post-classical, Medieval and Modern Greek, distilled from years of work on the Grammar of Medieval and Early Modern Greek and on the Historical Dictionary of Modern Greek, together with some innovative suggestions for the pathways and patterns of change which led to the genesis of dialectal differentiation.

Vox Neograeca: investigating sound change in the history of Greek
The paper discusses the methods and evidence for investigating sound change/pronunciation change in the history of Greek, and in particular post-classical and Medieval Greek. The discussion will be illustrated with illustrative examples from different types of evidence, such as spelling mistakes, metalinguistic comments, and trancriptions/transliterations in other scripts.
