Greek Dialects in Asia Minor 1909-1914
Research programme:
Visits to Central Anatolia between 1909 and 1911 were conducted by R.M. Dawkins, Director of the British School at Athens to study Greek dialects in Greek villages of the area. The purpose of these visits was to record dialects in the Greek speaking villages of the region in order to document how the spoken language changed in isolation, surrounded and pressured by Turkish speaking areas, in a relatively non-literate society. In 1914, Dawkins expanded his area of study to the Greek speaking areas of the Pontus. However, WWI and the later exchange of population in the 1920s intervened and the study was never completed.
Active from 1909 to 1914.
