20.500.12556/RUL-183998 Investigating the disclosure formula in non-literary papyri some observations on complement clauses As already pointed out by Bentein (2018), formulaic expressions are an important aspect of non-literary papyri that may provide valuable insights into postclassical Greek. I focus on a corpus consisting of complement clauses that follow the initial greeting formula of private and business letters and by which the senders inform the recipients about a past, present, or future event. This event is encoded within a finite or non-finite complement clause dependent on the verb γι(γ)νώσκω that constitutes part of the so-called disclosure formula. I discuss statistical data concerning the use of tenses in this corpus and reexamine several issues concerning temporal properties of infinitive clauses in postclassical Greek. These issues include expressions of anteriority in infinitive complements, the impact of Latin on the use of the synthetic perfect as the perfective past, and the confusion of tenses in infinitive clauses. Inaddition, I discuss past-oriented participle clauses, arguing that in the corpus, in contrast to classical Greek, the perfect participle adopts the function of conveying anteriority. postclassical Greek non-literary papyri complement clauses disclosure formula infinitive clauses tense usage Latin influence participial clauses poklasična grščina neliterarni papirusi dopolnilni stavki razkrivna formula raba časov infinitivni stavki vpliv latinščine deležniške konstrukcije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Drugo 2026-06-23 15:20:40 2026-06-23 15:20:47 2026-06-24 04:17:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 269-299 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 811.14'02/'04'367.625.41 10.33134/HUP-34-11 271028995 270973699 RAZ_Kavcic_Jerneja_2025.pdf RAZ_Kavcic_Jerneja_2025.pdf 1 F12D3177FF59CBD3C96743F7FAEA4A53 cbce1e01bbc17c2a1cf234c534626c063aaf2c27a9cb490a04b6f166e61b6f23 dc5c8360-6f07-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=236384 https://hup.fi/chapters/e/10.33134/HUP-34-11 0 91778312-6f07-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=236383 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
