Book excerpt: The aim of the present study is to examine the polytypia (morphological variation) and semantic differentiations of the verb in Vitsentzos Kornaros Erotokritos, to understand how these shape poetic style. The conclusion support the view that Kornaros is very attentive to the interplay of metre and style, employing different word forms, including both dialectal and non-dialectal verbs, partly for metrical and partly for euphonic reasons, while actively exploiting their polytypia to produce or rework formulatic expressions, in his striving to create a rich and varied language.
