Description
Dimitra Theophanopoulou-Kontou has a very special place in Greek linguistics as the scholar who laid the foundations for the study of generative grammar in her homeland, and it is a great pleasure to see the affection and respect in which she is held by all her students, past and present, reflected so warmly in the ten contributions to this excellent volume.Unsurprisingly, the focus is on the syntax and semantics of clauses and noun phrases, and on the acquisition of the relevant structures, though a number of other topics are also addressed. The range and quality of the work included here will make this book essential reading for the ever-growing community of those whose primary interest is the structure of Greek and its importance for linguistic theory; it combines cutting-edge analysis with meticulous attention to the empirical detail, and is prefaced by a lucid and helpful introduction that puts all the issues raised in their proper context.
