Abstract
The aim of the paper was to point out some of the aspects of the so-called mixed style of Ptochoprodromica which have not yet received much scholarly attention and which can deepen our understanding of the “mixed character” of this collection, from a linguistic but also a narratological point of view. I examined how the poet combined oral and learned features with so-called primary and secondary orality in order to produce an extraordinarily but not haphazardly mixed text. I focused on the use of different stylistic levels in different modes of narration and challenged the overly generalizing but often repeated statement that higher style is reserved for passages where the patron is addressed, while lower style is used in the narrative or “more popular” parts. I argued that there is (also) another logic hidden behind the shifting between different narrative levels.
