In this paper we investigate suspected contact phenomena in dialectal syntax, by studying apparent similarities in the syntax of demonstratives in a selection of Romance and Greek dialects of Southern Italy. We show that DP-initial placement of demonstratives, widespread in all the dialects of Southern Italy, results from different diachronic processes, with the Italiot Greek dialects following paths independently attested in other dialectal groups, and therefore not necessarily driven (only) by contact.

Abstract

In this paper we investigate suspected contact phenomena in dialectal syntax, by studying apparent similarities in the syntax of demonstratives in a selection of Romance and Greek dialects of Southern Italy. We show that DP-initial placement of demonstratives, widespread in all the dialects of Southern Italy, results from different diachronic processes, with the Italiot Greek dialects following paths independently attested in other dialectal groups, and therefore not necessarily driven (only) by contact.
