On the rise of contrastive discourse markers: Evidence from English and Greek
In this paper, I consider contrastive discourse markers (CDMs) in English and Greek in terms of their etymological origins. In particular, I argue that English and Greek CDMs draw on sources inspired by the same basic cognitive categories: namely, PLACE, QUANTITY, and MANNER; and that these sources are designations of three apparently distinct concepts: namely, allness, sameness , and oppositeness . What makes this consensus even more interesting…
Negation in Modern Greek revisited: Selecting between two speaker-based accounts
This study holds that negation phenomena in a natural language involve much more than mere logical entailments in some individual’s epistemic model. The unique characteristics of negation, i.e., the persistent diachronic renewal of negative particles cross-linguistically, as well as the prevalent synchronic reinforcement of these particles through emphatic mechanisms, demand an analysis that casts the expressive speaker, not her epistemic model, …

Exploiting polar questions for expressive purposes: Queclaratives" and "whimperatives" in Modern Greek
How languages acquire new grammatical elements: The story of ka(n)- series in Modern Greek retold
In this paper I discuss the creative rendezvous of necrotizing habituation with the speakers' reviving - if not artful - imagination in negative responses. Ιn particular, I reconsider the so-called
'Quantifying' superlatives and Homo sapiens
The hypothesis that two logical schemes are, more or less directly, involved in the so-called ‘quantificational’ readings of superlatives is defended in the present paper. It is argued, in particular, that sentences like, e. g.John can solve the most difficult problem and John cannot solve the easiest problem can be associated with their corresponding ‘quantificational’ interpretations, L. e. ‘John can solve any problem’ and ‘John cannot solve an…
