Eliciting the grammar of stress
This study explores the developmental patterns of Greek stress assignment through a comparative analysis of stress productions in 105 school-age children and 105 adults. Greek provides a compelling testing ground for understanding morphology-dependent stress systems, in which stress falls unpredictably on any of the final three syllables based on the morphophonological characteristics of words rather than purely phonological principles. Using a c…
Lexical Frequency Within Grammatical Bounds
This article investigates whether lexical frequency drives stress assignment in Greek, a morphology-dependent stress system. We examine the stress distributions of trisyllabic nouns from seven inflection classes across three lexical databases (GreekLex 2, the HNC Golden Corpus, and HelexKids 2.0) and compare them with the stress patterns produced by adults and elementary school children (Grades 3 and 6) in a pseudo-noun elicitation task. Using hy…
Changing shape according to strength
In this article we examine patterns of root allomorphy in Greek that involve vowel alternations and propose a Generalized Non-linear Affixation (Bermúdez-Otero 2012) analysis according to which these alternations result from the competition between segments that belong, on the one hand, to the vocabulary items of roots and, on the other, to the exponents of functional heads (Voice/Aspect, n ). More specifically, we claim that phonological entitie…
Morphological length and prosodically defective morphemes by Eva Zimmermann
Stress in the Absence of Morphological Conditioning
Greek is a morphology-dependent stress system, where stress is lexically specified for a number of individual morphemes (e.g., roots and suffixes). In the absence of lexically encoded stress, a default stress emerges. Most theoretical analyses of Greek stress that assume antepenultimate stress to represent the default (e.g., Malikouti-Drachman & Drachman 1989; Ralli & Touratzidis 1992; Revithiadou 1999) are not independently confirmed by experime…
Verbalizers leave marks
Prosodically constrained non-local doubling
In this article, we discuss non-local doubling in Greek and Turkish, a hitherto unanalysed aspect of these languages, and its implications for the interfaces. In non-local doubling, the reduplicated item is not located next to its base but at some other position in the clause depending on language-specific constraints. Interestingly, the attested type of doubling is not purely sensitive to syntactic nodes as in other languages (e.g. Dutch, Afrika…
Case morphology and word order in second language Turkish
The optional use of morphology attested in second language learners has been attributed either to a representational deficit or to a ‘surface’ problem with respect to the realization of inflectional affixes. In this article we contribute to this issue by providing empirical data from the early interlanguage of Greek learners of Turkish. Three experiments have been conducted, a cloze task, a sentence picture matching task and an on-line grammatica…
From edgemost to lexical stress
This article presents a theory of the development of lexical accents in edgemost stress systems, and their representations. It is shown that, first, the directionality of different levels of prominence at the word and above-word level, and, second, morphologization as a result of prosodic weakening work together for the development of various types of lexical accents. Our proposal makes a number of predictions with respect to: (a) whether a syste…
A cross-dialectal study of cliticisation in Greek
A Grammar Inclusion Hypothesis of child language variation
This paper examines variation in language development based on production data from three Greek-speaking children. Variation suggests that children employ more than one grammar during the acquisition process. This naturally raises the question of how ‘unwanted’ grammars gradually give way to the one that relates to the adult/target grammar. To account for variation, we implement partial ordering (Anttila 1997a, 1997b) to Tzakosta’s (2004) Multipl…
Prosodic filters on syntax
Greek dialects in Asia Minor
In this paper, we discuss the relation between morphological structure and prosodic form in two Greek dialects of Asia Minor: Pontic and Cappadocian. Both dialects underwent a change at all levels of grammar under the influence of Turkish. Emphasis is on the gradual transition from fusional to agglutinative morphology displayed primarily by several dialectal groups of Cappadocian. We show that this morphological development had a profound impact …
