Morphosyntactic Contact in Translation: Greek ídios and Latin proprius in the Bible
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 404-426, November 2023., 2023 Abstract We investigate the possibility that contact with Greek through the translation of biblical texts may have played a role in the development of Latin proprius ‘personal’, ‘peculiar’ into a reflexive possessive adjective. A few centuries earlier, post‐Classical Greek witnesses a similar development with the adjective ídios ‘private’, ‘personal ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 169-202, July 2023., 2023 Abstract In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so‐called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint. The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis‐à‐vis middle aorist ...
