This work investigates aspects of nominal structures in the two Greek varieties spoken in Southern Italy, i.e. Grico (Salento, GR) and Bovese (Southern Calabria, BO), which we compare to three Romance dialects spoken in the same area, viz. Sicilian (SI), Salentino (SA) and Northern Ca- labrese (NC), along with (standard) Modern Greek (MG) and (standard) Italian (IT). In particular, patterns of adjectival modification will be explored. It will be shown that the behavior of adjectives in the varieties under analysis de- rives from the interaction of genealogical transmission and contact-induced variation.

Abstract

This work investigates aspects of nominal structures in the two Greek varieties spoken in Southern Italy, i.e. Grico (Salento, GR) and Bovese (Southern Calabria, BO), which we compare to three Romance dialects spoken in the same area, viz. Sicilian (SI), Salentino (SA) and Northern Ca- labrese (NC), along with (standard) Modern Greek (MG) and (standard) Italian (IT). In particular, patterns of adjectival modification will be explored. It will be shown that the behavior of adjectives in the varieties under analysis de- rives from the interaction of genealogical transmission and contact-induced variation.
