My doctoral project will examine aspects of the evolution of the Greek lexicon, from the Roman to late Antique period. I plan to conduct a diachronic study of lexical variation in the Greek sources of the first millennium AD, with particular reference to the documentary papyri from Egypt. I will examine features such as word formation, derivations, and variation in the different words used in select semantic fields, and will investigate whether the patterns of variation are indicative of social or political changes, language contact or linguistic reforms. A comprehensive summary of large scale lexical changes will be a useful tool not only for classical linguists but also for historians and papyrologists working on the Roman and Byzantine Period, as it will provide information on when, where, why and by whom certain words were used.

我的博士项目将研究希腊词汇的演变方面，从罗马到古代晚期。我计划对公元第一个千年的希腊文献中的词汇变异进行历时性研究，特别是参考埃及的记录纸莎草纸。我将研究的特点，如构词法，派生，并在选择语义场中使用的不同的话的变化，并将调查是否变化的模式是社会或政治变化，语言接触或语言改革的指示。对大规模词汇变化的全面总结不仅对古典语言学家，而且对研究罗马和拜占庭时期的历史学家和纸莎草学家来说都是一个有用的工具，因为它将提供有关何时，何地，为什么以及谁使用某些词的信息。
