Information structure in the Medieval Greek vernacular politikos stichos romances

I will investigate the language of the later Medieval Greek (12th-16th centuries) vernacular romances composed in metre of the politikos stichos within the modern framework of information structure (most important concept: intonation units), since these texts are assumed to adopt an oral discourse. Special attention will be paid to word order, particles, clitics, dislocations, parentheticals and discourse markers.
