The Workshop’s objective of research and scientific activity is the Greek, institutional, linguistic practices throughout the time spectrum of our history, from Antiquity and through Byzantium into modernity, with a special emphasis on the Byzantine period as of decisive importance for the formation of the overall institutional discourse. The term “linguistic practices” refers to the points of coincidence of private wills and public norms and, in a broad sense, refers to the development of an ethos capable of regulating privacy (or private entities? Or private parties?) according to the language and the expression of institutions.
