The future has exercised students of Modern Greek language
developments for many years, and no satisfactory set of arguments
for the development of the modern form from the ancient usages has
ever been produced. Theodore Markopoulos elucidates the stages that
led up to the appearance of the modern future in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries. He does so by focussing on the three main
modes of future referencing ('mello', 'echo', and 'thelo'). He
discusses these patterns in the classical and Hellenistic-Roman
periods, the early medieval period (fifth to tenth centuries), and
the late medieval period (eleventh to fifteenth centuries). The
argument is supported by reference to a large and representative
corpus of texts (all translated into English) from which the author
draws many examples. In his conclusion Dr Markopoulos considers the
implications of his findings and methodology for syntactic and
semantic history of Greek.
