Subjects and Configurationality: Modern Greek Clause Structure.

Horrocks, Geoffrey

Journal of Linguistics, v30 n1 p81-109 Mar 1994

Examines evidence relevant to the determination of the configurational/nonconfigurational character of clause structure in Modern Greek. The analysis is developed within a framework that accounts for nominative assignment in the context of predication theory. An explanation for the fact that SVO is a routine alternative in Greek is provided. (46 references) (Author/CK)
