- Title
Preposition Allomorphy in Calabrian Greek (Greko) and Standard Modern Greek and Its Theoretical Implications.
- Authors
Höhn, Georg F. K.
- Abstract
The article argues that the alternation between the prepositions asce 'from' and an 'from' in the south Italian Greek variety Greko and a similar alternation between the preposition se 'in, to, into' and the allomorph s- found in both Greko and Standard Modern Greek represent instances of contextually conditioned allomorphy sensitive to a linearly adjacent definite article. Alternative approaches in terms of portmanteaux or making use of hyper-contextual rules for vocabulary insertion are shown to be unable to account for the data, supporting the need for allowing reference to linear adjacency relations in morphosyntactic theories of allomorphy.
