BMCR 2008.07.01 has a review of a recent volume that may be of  
interest to some B-Greekers, even though its focus is on literature of  
the earlier Classical era (Thucydides, Herodotus, etc.):

Allan J. Rutger, Michel Buijs, The Language of Literature. Linguistic  
Approaches to Classical Texts. Amsterdam Studies in Classical  
Philology. Vol. 13.   Leiden:  Brill, 2007.  Pp. xv, 251.  ISBN  
978-90-04-15654-8.  $142.00.

Matters of interest include word-order, tense-aspect usage as related  
to literary genre.
