Abstract
Since the 1990s increased attention, followed by a considerable number of areal linguistic studies, has been devoted to the areal-typological classification of European languages. It has been proposed to treat the European languages as a kind of a linguistic unit, the so-called Standard Average European (SAE) Sprachbund, on the basis of common features in their morphosyntactic structures. Modern Greek is one of the languages containing allegedly seven of the twelve SAE Sprachbund features proposed by Haspelmath. This is why Modern Greek (together with other Balkan languages) has been classified as "more SAE", thus approaching the nucleus of the Sprachbund formed by French and German. In this paper, the difficulties faced when trying to define a "standard" variant within a language are discussed.
