Dr Pappas' research interests are mainly in the areas of historical linguistics, language variation and change, morphology, and syntax, but he is also interested in issues of language contact, Balkan linguistics and the teaching of Modern Greek. He is currently working on the historical development of clitics in the dialects of Modern Greek, and a concise grammatical sketch of Modern Greek (with Brian D. Joseph).
