Interjections as pragmatic particles in Modern Greek: Using diverse corpora in identifying pragmatic functions
The paper offers an overview of the frequency and functions of three basic interjections in Greek, the phonologically minimal α /a/ ‘ah, huh’, ε /e/ ‘eh’ and ω or ο /o/ ‘oh’, with the aim of identifying the full range of their uses that have not been dealt with in the literature, which mainly treats them as elements denoting emotions. The data comes from a variety of Modern Greek corpora, including the conversational and the literary sub-corpora …
Sequential and interpersonal aspects of English and Greek answering machine messages
The paper studies the genre of answering machine messages (AMMs) in English and Greek from a comparative linguistic perspective. The analysis of extensive data in both languages shows that the length of most AMMs is restricted (25 to 30 words) and related to the gender of the caller rather than the language used. It is also found that Greek and English AMMs follow the same generic pattern, consisting of three main phases (opening, main body and c…
Lexical choices of gender identity in Greek genres: The view from corpora
This paper examines the role of the lexical pairs άνδρας/άντρας ‘man’ vs. γυναίκα ‘woman’ and αγόρι ‘boy’ vs. κορίτσι ‘girl’ in the construction of gender identity. We use corpus methodology to study the frequency, meanings and collocations of the noun pairs in five different genres of Greek, namely news and opinion articles from newspapers, and general interest, male and female magazines (2,4 million words in total). Our findings point to a fund…
Corruption in a Greek context: Analyzing a newspaper’s discourse on a major political scandal
In this paper we examine the discourse on political corruption, with a focus on accusations of corruption and the self-defence discourse of the accused person. For this purpose, we study the discourse of the corruption scandal related with the Greek ex-Defence Minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos in 2011, as presented in articles published in the newspaper I Kathimerini. We specifically discuss how the accused is presented in the newspaper, how the accus…
Greece in Crisis: Combining critical discourse and corpus linguistics perspectives
Since its onset, the Greek crisis has given rise to an abundance of relevant text and talk. This volume offers an insider’s view of the discursive manifestations of the crisis, focusing on discourses in the Greek language and by Greek social actors. The contributions investigate the diverse ways in which the crisis has been communicated to the public by domestic policymakers or debated by elite, non-elite and resistant participants. Crisis discou…
Identity as space: Localism in the Greek protests of Syntagma Square
The paper studies the textual, discursive and social practices of the Greek “aganaktismeni” (indignados) movements, which mainly took place in the public gathering of tens of thousands of Greeks in Syntagma Square, outside the Greek parliament from May to August 2011. Data come from multiple sources, including the General Assembly proceedings and resolutions, while a linguistically-informed approach is followed, which combines Critical Discourse …
A Question of Identity. Language Use in Cyprus, by Lydia Sciriha
A discourse‐analytic approach to the use of English in Cypriot Greek conversations
The use of English in Cypriot Greek has been a highly contested issue, involving much speculation and prescription but, as yet, little analysis of actual data. This study is a preliminary exploration of the issue, focusing on extensive data from informal conversations between members of a Limassol family. The analysis suggests that instances of language alternation can be accounted for in terms of discourse analytic categories such as the distinc…
Mapping the world of discourse: The narrative vs. non-narrative distinction
Le concept de genre - un des concepts fondamentaux des etudes discursives - renvoie a deux aspects du discours : 1) il permet d'apprehender le discours comme une action et s'oppose a la notion de style ; 2) il definit un ensemble de proprietes formelles, fonctionnelles et contextuelles du texte et constitue alors une alternative a la notion de type de texte. Proceder a une typologie des genres constitue donc une tâche tres difficile. Le critere d…
