  • Insights on the Realization of Nominal Evaluative Morphology in the Modern Greek Dialect of Lesbos

    Open AccessDimitra MelissaropoulouARTICLELanguages2026

    This paper investigates evaluative morphology in the modern dialect of Lesbos, focusing on the morphological strategies used for nominal evaluation, the range of meanings they express, and the characteristics that distinguish Modern Lesbian from other varieties. Special attention is given to borrowing and the integration of markers serving evaluative functions in the dialect. Dialectal data are drawn from available primary and secondary written s…

  • Understanding Dialectal Variation in Contact Scenarios Through Dialectometry

    Open AccessStavros Bompola, Dimitra MelissaropoulouARTICLELanguages2025Referências: 51

    This study investigates the interplay between linguistic and extralinguistic factors in language contact scenarios, focusing on inner Asia Minor Greek (iAMGr), a dialect cluster influenced by Turkish and isolated from other Greek-speaking regions. Using dialectometric techniques, we quantified the dialect distances—encompassing both grammatical and lexical features, many of which reflect foreign interference—between nineteen iAMGr varieties. A re…

  • Language variation and change in the formation of Greek superlative constructions

    Dimitra Melissaropoulou, Christos PapanagiotouARTICLEDialectologia et Geolinguistica2021

    This paper addresses variation and change in the realization of superlative constructions in the light of the evidence provided by Modern Greek dialectal variation as a window into the study of the organization of grammar. Dialectal data show that analyticity prevails in the realization of relative comparative constructions, while absolute ones seem to resist more persistently due to their high relevance with another morphological category, evalu…

  • Revisiting the Borrowability Scale(s) of Free Grammatical Elements

    Open AccessDimitra Melissaropoulou, Augustus Ralli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2020

    This article aims to test the general validity of borrowability scales by investigating contrastively two contact induced linguistic varieties of Greek. It tries to elucidate the factors that facilitate or inhibit the borrowability of free grammatical elements, which are usually considered as less amenable to transfer. It argues against the formulation of any borrowability scales of a generalized predictive power, even in cases where there is a c…

  • Headedness in diminutive formation

    Open AccessDimitra Melissaropoulou, Augustus Ralli et al.ARTICLEActa Linguistica Hungarica2008

    The paper deals with the notion of headedness, as applied to dimutive suffixation. Following evidence from Modern Greek and its dialects, we propose that diminutive suffixes are heads of their constructions on the basis of certain criteria. First, the inflectional paradigms of a number of diminutive formations show irregularities and gaps that are not justified by the inflectional behavior of the base. Second, diminutive suffixes may change a sem…
