The first comprehensive survey of Standard Modern Greek, this book offers a descriptive analysis of the structure of the language and of present-day usage, highlighting the discussion with examples drawn from a wide cross section of spoken, written, and literary sources.
The intro gives a great history of why & how Greek is spoken the way it is today. The rest of the book might be surely useful to linguists but not to a general audience, and definitely not to language learners. So just read p.1-14 and sign up for a Greek class instead.
