Abstract

This paper explores the nuanced realm of case syncretism, focusing primarily on its synchronic presence in Modern Greek (dialectal variety) and on the diachronic emergence of the phenomenon, classifying the distribution of syncretic cells in the nominal inflectional system of the language. This analysis shows that syncretism has been extended over time to many nouns, no longer limited either to neuter nouns or to the cells for the Nominative and Accusative. I suggest that the distribution of syncretic cells in Greek is influenced primarily by grammatical gender, but it is also affected by the productivity of each inflectional class, which I attribute to the morphomic (in terms of Aronoff [1994]. Morphology by itself: Stems and inflectional classes, vol. 22. MIT Press.) nature of the phenomenon. I propose a decisive new factor preventing a cell from participating in syncretic patterns: inter-paradigmatic similarity of affixes appears to block syncretism. Further, I examine the factors facilitating the development and expansion of syncretic patterns.

希腊全景中的同源现象的形态学解释
本文主要探讨了现代希腊语(方言种类)中同步出现的同位异义现象和异位异义现象的非同步出现,并对现代希腊语名词性屈折词系统中的同位异义单元的分布进行了分类,从而探索了大小写同位异义现象的细微差别。该分析表明,随着时间的推移,同义词已经扩展到许多名词,不再局限于中性名词或名词性和重音性单元。我认为,希腊语中的同位语单元的分布主要受语法性别的影响,但也受每个词类的生产率的影响,我将其归因于形态学(以阿罗诺夫[1994]为例)。形态本身:Stems and inflectional classes, vol. 22.麻省理工学院出版社。)现象的本质。我提出了一个决定性的新因素来阻止细胞参与合成模式:词缀的范式间相似性似乎阻碍了合成。此外,我还研究了促进合成模式发展和扩展的因素。

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
