Abstract
It is well known that the Greek language, despite its long history and the various adventures
it has experienced over the centuries and in contrast with other ancient European
languages (e.g. Latin), has not undergone any radical changes with the passage of time.
Instead, it has maintained a noteworthy diachronic homogeneity and a unified character
that have made it intriguing for scholars and, at the same time, give it a unique nature.
The functional presence of a large number of diachronic elements within contemporary
Modern Greek undoubtedly make it a unique case. They have not, however, been
sufficiently researched, and this paper aims to make a contribution in this direction.
