In this paper we investigate suspected contact phenomena in dialectal syntax, by studying the syntax of demonstratives in Italiot and Asia Minor Greek. We show that exclusively DP-initial place- ment of demonstratives results from two possible diachronic paths, not necessarily driven by contact, with different dialects representing different stages in the respective paths.

Abstract
In this paper we investigate suspected contact phenomena in dialectal syntax, by studying the syntax of demonstratives in Italiot and Asia Minor Greek. We show that exclusively DP-initial place- ment of demonstratives results from two possible diachronic paths, not necessarily driven by contact, with different dialects representing different stages in the respective paths.
