Unit Description:	In this subject students learn to identify the characteristics of phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon which distinguish informal, colloquial and non-standard varieties of Modern Greek from the formal standard language. Theory of linguistic variation, including differences between spoken and written forms, informal and formal style/registers, and regional/social dialects are studied with specific reference to Modern Greek. Contemporary issues such as the impact on the Greek language of Globalisation, information technology and Political Correctness are also considered. Appropriate use of the varieties of spoken and written Greek is practised with due attention to grammar and usage.
