“…With regard to Post-classical Greek, scholars have drawn attention to the association that exists between linguistic (especially morpho-syntactic) structures such as particles, complementation patterns and complementizers, moods, cases, relative clause types, word order, orthographic variants, etc., and contextual parameters such as (in)formality, social status, text type, agentive role, gender, etc. (for further discussion, see Browning 1983;Willi 2003Willi , 2010Willi , 2017Horrocks 2007Horrocks , 2010James 2008;Bentein 2015Bentein , 2017bBentein & Bagriacik 2018, among others). Even though such linguistic structures signal social identity indirectly, certain associations between language and social context seem to be partly motivated, a point which I elaborate further in Section 4.…”

Especially in the first half of the twentieth century, language was viewed as a vehicle for the transmission of facts and ideas. Later on, scholars working in linguistic frameworks such as Functional and Cognitive Linguistics, (Historical) Sociolinguistics and Functional Sociolinguistics, have emphasized the social relevance of language, focusing, for example, on linguistic concepts such as deixis, modality, or honorific language, or embedding larger linguistic patterns in their social contexts, through notions such as register, sociolect, genre, etc. The main aim of this article is to systematize these observations, through an investigation of how the central, though ill-understood notion of "social meaning" can be captured. The starting point for the discussion is the work that has been done in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). This framework distinguishes "social" ("interpersonal") meaning from two other types of meaning, and offers a typology of different types of contexts with which these different meanings resonate. In order to achieve a more satisfactory account of social meaning, however, I argue that we need to connect SFL to a theory of how signs convey meaning. The discussion is relevant for Ancient Greek in its entirety, but focuses specifically on Post-classical Greek: as a case study, I discuss five private letters from the so-called Theophanes archive (IV AD).

“…(p. 9) Bagordo (2001) Particles, and their inconsistent appearance in differing literary genres, are a special problem: see Denniston throughout his pp. lxiv-lxxxii; for the differences between tragedy and Aristophanes, see Willi 2003, 260-1. Users of this paper will accordingly find little new material for particles in the sections 'F' of Parts II, III, and IV below.…”

In a bibliography at the end I list works cited more than once; they are abbreviated to the author's name, where necessary a date, and page or section number. As to Stevens's own publications, I cite his 1976 monograph as 'CEE' and his two earlier articles (both published in this journal) just by the years of their appearance, 1937 (Euripides) and 1945 (Aeschylus and Sophocles). Commentators on plays get their usual terse recognition, 'Author on play(-name and) line-number'. Base-texts for the dramatists are the current OCT editions: Aeschylus (Page), Sophocles (Lloyd-Jones and Wilson), Euripides (Diggle), Aristophanes (Hall and Geldart), Menander (Sandbach), Plautus (Lindsay), Terence (Kauer and Lindsay). Dramatic fragments are cited from Snell-Kannicht-Radt TrGF and Kassel-Austin PCG. The paper benefits greatly from my access to unpublished material. First, I include many notes upon colloquial and everyday language left at his death by Eduard Fraenkel (1888-1970). I owe my knowledge of them to Mr Peter Brown of Trinity College, Oxford, who suggested that such matter may survive in the archive of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where indeed it does; I thank the President and Fellows of the college for permission to transcribe or cite from it. 1 In the Fraenkel Papers Box 12 there are five small notebooks, two of which are devoted to the language of Sophocles, particularly the colloquial and everyday, and to colloquial idioms of Iono-Attic dialect as precursors of the koinē. The notebooks are not dated, but some of the material in them was to be used-or had been used-for Fraenkel's Italian seminars on Sophocles' Ajax and Philoctetes during the middle to late 1960s (published posthumously: see the bibliography at Fraenkel 1977 and 1994; for the new material see at Fraenkel MSS). In the last years of his life Fraenkel returned energetically to his lifelong interest in registers of dramatic language, and studied Sophocles generally: see the bibliography by N. Horsfall, JRS 66 (1976), 200-5 and the survey by L. E. Rossi in Fraenkel 1977, viii-xvi. 2 1 Peter Brown has my thanks also for helping me to improve the general discussion with which the paper begins, Part I below; so too Angus Bowie and Doreen Innes. I gratefully acknowledge some advice over arrangement by the editor Miriam Griffin, and particularly thank her for accepting a paper of unusual form. 2 Rossi's premessa contains lively reminiscences of Fraenkel in Italy; on pp. xxix-xxx he lists published commemorations of Fraenkel. Russo's prefazione in Fraenkel 1994 also has factual and biographical matter relating to the Italian seminars, with some photographs.
