This book presents a panorama of the geographical variations of our language throughout the Greek-speaking world (Greece, Cyprus, Greek-speaking islands of southern Italy, Corsica, and Ukraine, and Greek-speaking areas of Asia Minor until 1922).
It is the only handbook of Modern Greek dialectology in the linguistic literature. Its author describes the dialects and idioms of Modern Greek from phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical perspectives with scientific precision, while also using a popularizing approach to reach a broader reading audience.
The content presented in the paragraphs and chapters of the work is illuminated by the provided samples of dialectical speech from various areas of the Greek-speaking world, along with linguistic maps and tables of linguistic phenomena. A rich bibliography complements the work.
