Abstract

In this paper, I deal with verb borrowing in a language-contact situation involving Greek as target and Romance and Turkish as source languages. More particularly, I discuss the reasons and techniques that make verbs of typologically and genetically different languages to be accommodated in a uniform way within the same linguistic system, and verbs of the same donor to be integrated in a different manner within the same recipient. I try to provide an explanation for the observed divergences and similarities by appealing to an interplay of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. For the purposes of this study, evidence is drawn from both written and oral sources from five Greek dialectal varieties: Grekanico, Heptanesian, Pontic, Aivaliot and Cypriot.

罗曼斯语和土耳其语作为源语的对比:来自现代希腊方言借用动词的证据

本文研究了以希腊语为目的语，以罗曼语和土耳其语为源语的语言接触情境下的动词借用问题。更具体地说，我讨论了在类型学和遗传上不同的语言中的动词在同一语言系统中以统一的方式容纳的原因和技术，以及同一供体的动词在同一受者中以不同的方式整合的原因和技术。我试图通过诉诸语言和语言外因素的相互作用来解释所观察到的差异和相似之处。为了本研究的目的，证据来自五个希腊方言品种的书面和口头来源:Grekanico, Heptanesian, Pontic, Aivaliot和塞浦路斯。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Language Contact (JLC) is a peer-reviewed open access journal. It focuses on the study of language contact, language use and language change in accordance with a view of language contact whereby both empirical data (the precise description of languages and how they are used) and the resulting theoretical elaborations (hence the statement and analysis of new problems) become the primary engines for advancing our understanding of the nature of language. This involves linguistic, anthropological, historical, and cognitive factors. Such an approach makes a major new contribution to understanding language change at a time when there is a notable increase of interest and activity in this field. The Journal of Language Contact accepts articles in English and French.
