‘Spiritual Meadow’ (Pratum Spirituale or Λειμών) written by Byzantine monk John Moschos (c. 550–619/34) is a very interesting text from the linguistic point of view, but unfortunately it lacks a good edition. This text is available now in J. P. Migne’s edition (Migne, 1857–1866, T. 87.3 = PG). Migne didn’t personally work on the numerous manuscripts, but simply compiled two earlier versions. In this paper I analyze alternative readings noted by Cotelier and as a result I beleive a thorough linguistic analysis of the ‘Spiritual Meadow’ can be performed even before some new critical edition appears.

The paper provides an analysis of the pragmatic function, frequency and variability of discourse markers (the so-called connective particles) in the Early Byzantine Chronicle of John Malalas (6th cent. A.D.). The areas of prime concern are the following ones: a) decrease in the variability of connective particles when compared to the Classical period works, b) changes in the range of interpretations of the relationship between discourse segments linked by the old connective particles when compared to the Classical period, c) usage of discourse markers newly formed in post-Classical period and their pragmatic function in the discourse structure of the Chronicle. Finally, the problem of Malalas's language register, as far as discourse marker analysis is concerned, is illustrated.
Georgios Akropolitis: theory and practice in later Byzantine historiography.
Though superficially using Atticising language, even the most careful writers of the later Byzantine era in fact employ ancient Greek morphology and lexicon to recharacterise the syntactic structures of the contemporary vernacular. This article examines the language of the historian Georgios Akropolitis (of the Palaeologan era), and analyses data from the domain of futurity and modality to illustrate the basic correctness of this proposition.
