Contributing to the long study of links between Greek and Coptic, the final stages of Egyptian, Hasznos (Egyptology, Eotvos Lorand U, Budapest, Hungary) makes observations on syntax and stylistics in translated and original Coptic literature. She sifts out the syntactic patterns showing Greek influence in one or both text groups, showing how certain patterns came to be used in Coptic clearly through translations, and raising questions of whether those syntactic influences that came to the Egyptian language through the bilingual situation can be detected with certainty. Using these insights, she begins developing a criterion system to determine whether a Coptic text was originally written in Coptic or Greek.
