You mean linguistic borrowing?

The best short account in English of the development of the Greek language after Koine is still Robert Browning's Medieval and Modern Greek (Cambridge, 1983) and there's quite a lot on borrowing every chapter, though beware the lack of index. I can't vouch for what's written on the subject in other languages.
