Egypt in the early Byzantine period was a bilingual country where
Greek and Egyptian (Coptic) were used alongside each other.
Historical studies along with linguistic studies of the phonology
and lexicon of early Byzantine Greek in Egypt testify to this
situation. In order to describe the linguistic traces that the
language-contact situation left behind in individuals' linguistic
output, Coptic Interference in the Syntax of Greek Letters from
Egypt analyses the syntax of early Byzantine Greek texts from
Egypt. The primary object of interest is bilingual interference in
the syntax of verbs, adverbial phrases, clause linkage as well as
in semi-formulaic expressions and formulaic frames. The study is
based on a corpus of Greek and Coptic private letters on papyrus,
which date from the fourth to mid-seventh centuries, originate from
Egypt and belong to bilingual, Greek-Coptic, papyrus archives.
