One of the core challenges in linguistics is elucidating
compounds-their formation as well as the reasons their structure
varies between languages. This book on Modern Greek rises to the
challenge with a meticulous treatment of its diverse, intricate
compounds, a study as grounded in theory as it is rich in data.
Enhancing our knowledge of compounding and word-formation in
general, its exceptional scope is a worthy model for linguists,
particularly morphologists, and offers insights for students of
syntax, phonology, dialectology and typology, among others. The
author examines first-tier themes such as the order and relations
of constituents, headedness, exocentricity, and theta-role
saturation. She shows how Modern Greek compounding relates to
derivation and inflection, and charts the boundaries between
compounds and phrases. Exploring dialectically variant compounds,
and identifying historical changes, the analysis extends to
similarly formed compounds in wholly unrelated languages.
