Articles

In this paper, we examine the narrowing of register variation in the domain of verbal aspect in the production of aspect by two different age groups of Greek heritage speakers (HSs), adolescents and adults, which we compared to their monolingual peers. We first identify a previously undocumented… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis and Elena Anagnostopoulou 2021 Backward control, long distance agree, nominative case and TP/CP transparencyNon-canonical Control in a Cross-linguistic Perspective, Mucha, Anne, Jutta M. Hartmann and Beata Trawiński (eds.), pp. 15–34 | Chapter
In this paper, we revisit the evidence that what has been analyzed as Backward Control in Greek is just another instance of Long Distance Agree. Through the formation of such long distance chains, Greek allows non-local assignment of nominative. We further argue that long distance chains come in… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis 2017 Language variation and change: A case study of the loss of genitive case in (Heritage) GreekCurrent trends in analyzing syntactic variation, De Cuypere, Ludovic, Clara Vanderschueren and Gert de Sutter (eds.), pp. 56–75 | Article
Alexiadou, Artemis 2016 Building wordsMorphological Metatheory, Siddiqi, Daniel and Heidi Harley (eds.), pp. 223–236 | Article
This chapter discusses some views on syntactic word formation, by focusing on the assumptions being made within the framework of Distributed Morphology. This is contrasted to two other syntactic views on word formation, namely the exoskeletal model and span based word formation. The chapter also… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis and Gianina Iordachioaia 2014 Causative nominalizations: Implications for the structure of psych verbsStructuring the Argument: Multidisciplinary research on verb argument structure, Bachrach, Asaf, Isabelle Roy and Linnaea Stockall (eds.), pp. 119–137 | Article
We investigate so-called causative psych nominalizations (CPNs), i.e., nominalizations of object experiencer (OE) verbs that realize non-agentive causers as external arguments. While they are ruled out in English (Grimshaw 1990; Iwata 1995; Pesetsky 1995) and have been suggested to be… read more
Zombolou, Katerina and Artemis Alexiadou 2014 The canonical function of the deponent 
verbs in modern GreekMorphology and Meaning: Selected papers from the 15th International Morphology Meeting, Vienna, February 2012, Rainer, Franz, Francesco Gardani, Hans Christian Luschützky and Wolfgang U. Dressler (eds.), pp. 331–344 | Article
The present paper discusses deponent verbs in Modern Greek. Deponents are claimed to be idiosyncratic, non-canonical verbs representing a mismatch between morphology and syntax/semantics, as they are intransitive verbs exhibiting a morphological form, non-active, without there being an active… read more

Alexiadou, Artemis and Cinzia Campanini 2012 On the adverbial reading of infrequency adjectives and the structure of the DPComparative Germanic Syntax: The state of the art, Ackema, Peter, Rhona Alcorn, Caroline Heycock, Dany Jaspers, Jeroen van Craenenbroeck and Guido Vanden Wyngaerd (eds.), pp. 35–66 | Article
In this paper we discuss Occasional Constructions (OCs) in English, German, Greek, and Italian. While English and Italian readily allow OCs, albeit with a different set of determiners, these are absent from the grammar of Greek and are much less frequent, if possible at all, in German. Building on… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis 2011 The aspectual properties of nominalization structuresMorphology and its Interfaces, Galani, Alexandra, Glyn Hicks and George Tsoulas (eds.), pp. 195–278 | Article
In this paper I will primarily discuss the aspectual properties of Greek verbderived nominalizations and address the question of how these interact withmorphological marking introducing class and number. Greek nominalizationswill be compared to Romanian ones, which have been argued to show… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis, Gianina Iordachioaia and Florian Schäfer 2011 Scaling the variation in Romance and Germanic nominalizationsThe Noun Phrase in Romance and Germanic: Structure, variation, and change, Sleeman, Petra and Harry Perridon (eds.), pp. 25–40 | Article
We investigate the distribution of verbal and nominal layers in Romance and Germanic nominalizations. Specifically, we examine pairs of ‘verbal’ vs. ‘nominal’ nominalizations in two Romance (Spanish & Romanian) and two Germanic (English & German) languages. Our study proposes a large spectrum of… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis, Elena Anagnostopoulou, Gianina Iordachioaia and Michaela Marchis 2010 No objections to Backward ControlMovement Theory of Control, Hornstein, Norbert and Maria Polinsky (eds.), pp. 89–118 | Article
This chapter addresses two main counterarguments put forth in Landau (2007) against the movement analysis of Control, and especially against the phenomenon of Backward Control (BC), as proposed for Tsez by Polinsky & Potsdam (2002). The first objection concerns the Case properties of the subject… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis, Gianina Iordachioaia and Elena Soare 2010 Syntactic realizations of plural in Romance and Germanic nominalizationsRomance Linguistics 2008: Interactions in Romance, Arregi, Karlos, Zsuzsanna Fagyal, Silvina Montrul and Annie Tremblay (eds.), pp. 107–124 | Article
This paper offers a syntactic account for the various ways in which Plural is expressed within Argument-Supporting Nominals (ASNs) in Romance and Germanic. We first show, starting from Romanian data, that pluralization is connected to aspectual properties like (a)telicity and (un)boundedness. These… read more

Marchis, Michaela and Artemis Alexiadou 2009 On the distribution of adjectives in Romanian: The cel constructionRomance Languages and Linguistic Theory: Selected papers from ‘Going Romance’ Amsterdam 2007, Aboh, Enoch O., Elisabeth van der Linden, Josep Quer and Petra Sleeman (eds.), pp. 161–178 | Article
This paper deals with the variable position of adjectives in the Romanian DP. As all other Romance languages, Romanian allows adjectives to appear in both prenominal and postnominal position. In addition, however, Romanian has a third pattern: the so-called cel construction, in which the adjective… read more
Alexiadou, Artemis 2008 Tense marking in the nominal domain: Implications for grammar architectureLinguistic Variation Yearbook 2008, van Craenenbroeck, Jeroen (ed.), pp. 33–60 | Article
The aim of this paper is to argue that temporal marking in the nominal domain should not be taken as evidence for the existence of a syntactic category TP within the extended projection of the noun phrase. On the basis of two unrelated languages, Somali and Halkomelem, the paper re-interprets the… read more

Possessive clitics in the DP have not received as much attention as clitics in the verbal domain have. In fact, the few existing accounts of cliticization are either phonological (Nespor & Vogel 1986) or primarily morphological (Kolliakou 1997) or morphosyntactic (Horrocks & Stavrou 1988; Stavrou &… read more
