While Classical Greek has a particularly rich complementation system, in later times there is a tendency towards the use of finite complementation. In this context, Cristofaro (1996) has claimed that the Classical opposition whereby the accusative and infinitive is used for non-factive complements, and ὅτι with the indicative and the accusative and participle for factive ones, is disappearing, ὅτι being used as a ‘generic’ complementiser. In this article, I investigate to what extent Cristofaro’s (1996) claim of the pragmatic neutralisation of complementation patterns can be upheld, and whether it could be claimed that a new pragmatic opposition, in terms of ‘register’, is being established. For this purpose, I turn towards documentary papyri, a corpus which is particularly fruitful for socio-historical investigations.

后古典和早期拜占庭希腊语中的有限与非有限互补

虽然古典希腊语有一个特别丰富的补语系统，但后来有使用有限补语的趋势。在这种情况下，Cristofaro (1996) 声称古典对立，其中宾格和不定式用于非事实补语，而 ὅτι 与指示性和宾格以及分词用于事实补语，正在消失，ὅτι 被用作“通用'补充剂。在这篇文章中，我调查了 Cristofaro (1996) 关于互补模式的语用中和的主张在多大程度上可以得到支持，以及是否可以声称正在建立一个新的语用对立，就“注册”而言。为此，我转向文献纸莎草纸，这是一种对社会历史调查特别有成果的语料库。
