ON SOME CONTROL STRUCTURES IN HELLENISTIC GREEK: A Comparison with Classical and Modern Greek
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Control Structures The proper analysis of control structures is a much debated aspect of linguistic theory, whether “control” is taken in a narrow sense to refer to a nonfreely arrived at, i.e. controlled, interpretation of an empty category, and in particular a missing subject, or in broader terms to take in the interpretation of missing objects as well or even of any nonfreely selected anaphor. At the risk of oversimplification of the issues, the different positions on control can be roughly characterized as viewing control on the one hand as a syntactic phenomenon, involving the interpretation of the [+anaphoric, +pronominal] syntactic element designated as PRO (e.g. by Chomsky 1981 and others generally working in a Government and Binding approach to syntax), and on the other hand as a property

Analogy and Sound Change in Ancient Greek
A key observation that has emerged out of the examination of different stages of a language is that no language is static; all aspects of language are subject to change, including the sounds, the forms, the sentence structure, meanings, etc. Indeed, as far as Greek is concerned, the evidence presented in the chapters on syntactic change between Classical and Hellenistic Greek and on movement to...

In Greek sculpture, form and content are in balance and interact with each other. The Spirit and the material have no dominion over one another. The spirit (divine) recognizes as its proper home the human body, an...
متن کاملOpenText.org: the problems and prospects of working with ancient discourse
1. Introduction The vast majority of studies in corpus linguistics have focused upon contemporary usage of modern languages. However, although there have been a number of studies of the earlier periods of some of these languages, such as Old English and Old French, they have tended to adopt the methods developed for modern languages. In our theoretical paper (Porter and O'Donnell 2001), we have...
متن کاملEarly Movement Towards Modern Greek
The evidence of the preceding sections makes it clear that the Greek language underwent considerable development and change from the time Greek speakers first entered the Balkans in the 2nd millennium BC up through the Hellenistic era. However, it is important to realize that languages are like living organisms, in that they continually change and evolve; thus, Greek did not stop at the form it...
