Abstract:
|
|
This thesis is a diachronic phonological investigation with the matter "Opening of the voiced stops /b d g/ in Greek". This phonological subject was indicated by the paradigmatic imbalance of Ancient Greek where, seemingly, no fricatives are found, and by the perfect pattern congruity of Standard Modern Greek which is thought to have a fully integrated system. It was to be investigated when, where, and why opening took place, and the outcome of the research was possibly likely to change our concept about what Ancient and Modern Greek language as such, really is.
The method adopted was a dynamic linguistic approach as is found mainly in A. Martinet's, O. Szemerényi's and G. Babiniotis' contributions.
The investigation where beside linguistics also much philological work has been done, resulted in an Analysis and an Appendix, here labelled Corpus. The Corpus consists of an alphabetical list of the lemmata examined having, in its first column, the lemma and among others, bibliographical entries referring to it. The second column gives datings, the third gives the exact localization inside or outside Greece. The next one has the lemma in its context , with an exact indication of the source. The fifth column has a code specifying the dialect, and gives also an StPh evaluation of the lemma in question while the last one provides the phonological processes..
