This paper offers diachronic insight into the influence of the Greek
language on the Serbian lexicon in the domain of loanwords. After an
overwiew of some historically and linguistically relevant factors, a systematisation
of Serbian Grecisms is presented—and illustrated with selected
examples. This is based on chronological stratification and formal
criteria related to both registers, literary and vernacular (with a special
stress on the most significant, medieval period), as well as geographic
and genetic classifications of Serbian Grecisms. Finally, the complexity
of the factors involved in this analysis is illustrated with some formal
and/or semantic doublets originating from various periods and directions
of borrowing Greek words into Serbian.
