Το παλαιοαθηναϊκό ιδίωμα: Πηγές, μαρτυρίες, χαρακτηριστικά. The Modern Greek variety of old Athens.
Abstract
The paper aims at offering a sketch of the history and a description, as complete as possible, of the
dialect of old Athens on the basis of known, as well as hitherto unknown, sources, including the only
surviving Athenian dialectal texts from the 19th century. The dialect belonged to a group that comprised
the varieties of the nearby city of Megara and the Saronic Gulf island of Aegina, as well as of the
southern part of the island of Euboea, and is generally regarded as one of the most poorly recorded
Modern Greek varieties. The city of Athens became the capital of the modern Greek state after the
Greek War of Independence in 1834 and consequently witnessed an immense influx of Greek speakers
from all over the Greek speaking world, a process that heavily contributed to the dialect’s recession and
final extinction by the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

This paper explores the relationship of the glide /J/ to the high front vowel and the palatal consonants. We argue that /i/ and /J/ are both phonemes, which nonetheless undergo contextual neutralization in a large class of nouns under paradigmatic pressure. The proposed phonemic status of the glide has repercussions for the other palatal consonants, i.e. those deriving from velar obstruents or the nasal and lateral coronals (collectively notated as VNLs). We claim that palatals are always derived either through simple or extreme palatalization; in Standard Greek, the former only affects velars, resulting in simple allophony between velars and palatals, whereas the latter takes VNL + vocoid input sequences and returns palatalized segments with simultaneous partial or full absorption of the vocoid into the now palatalized preceding consonant (cf. Bateman 2007).
The present paper offers a detailed investigation of the phenomenon of velar fronting in Modern Greek
dialects, i.e. the change in the place of articulation of the velar consonants \k g x ɣ\ to more front regions of
the oral cavity under the influence of a following front vowel or semivowel, a change which involves several
subtypes. First, a definition of the phenomenon is provided, followed by a description of the various front
realisations (palatal, palato-alveolar, alveolo-palatal, alveolar). Then the geographical distribution of each
variant type is discussed, from west to east. The discussion also includes information on the earliest
attestations of the phenomenon in each area.
The present paper deals with the description of the verbal inflectional morphology of the Modern Greek variety of Megara.

Eugénie Granstrem, I. Medvedev et Denise Papachryssanthou, Fragment d'un praktikon de la région d'Athènes (avant 1204) . — Ce fragment est contenu dans deux folios de manuscrit utilisés comme reliure et classés comme manuscrit n° 122 à la Bibliothèque Publique de Leningrad. L'édition diplomatique de ce texte, assez abîmé par endroits, est accompagnée d'une étude du contenu (liste de biens avec des tableaux, liste de parèques) et d'une étude des lieux et des personnes, avec un index. Sans atteindre les proportions du cadastre de Thèbes, ce nouveau document apporte de précieux renseignements pour la topographie d'Athènes et de ses environs avant l'occupation franque.
