The Morphology of Asia Minor Greek
Selected Topics
Series: - Empirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory, Volume: 13
Editor:
This volume provides an unprecedented collection of data from Asia Minor Greek, namely from Cappadocian, Pharasiot, Silliot, Smyrniot, Aivaliot, Bithynian, Pontic, Propontis Tsakonian and the dialect of Adrianoupolis. It offers fresh and original reflections on the study of morphology, dialectology and language contact by examining issues regarding inflection, derivation and compounding, dealt with by Metin Bağrıaçık, Marianna Gkiouleka, Aslı Göksel, Mark Janse, Brian D. Joseph, Petros Karatsareas, Nikos Koutsoukos, Io Manolessou, Theodore Markopoulos, Dimitra Melissaropoulou, Nikos Pantelidis and Angela Ralli. An in-depth investigation of phenomena aims to increase our understanding of language change. They result either from a natural evolution of Asia Minor Greek, or from the interaction between the fusional Greek and the agglutinative Turkish or the semi-analytical Romance.
Angela Ralli, Ph.D. (1988), University of Montreal, is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Patras (Greece). She has published monographs and many articles on theoretical morphology, dialectology and language contact, including the book Compounding in Modern Greek (Springer, 2013).
