On the Development of Modern Greek Ovci 'no!'
نویسنده
چکیده
The etymology of Modern Greek ovci ‘no!’ has never really been in doubt, as the Ancient Greek emphatic negative oujciv ‘not’ is surely its source. However, various details of its development from oujciv remain unaccounted for, in particular the vowel in the initial syllable, the placement of the accent, and the functional shift from ‘not’ to ‘no!’. An explanation that seeks an answer for these three problems by positing influence from Turkish yo/yok ‘no’ is explored here and defended.
