  • Language, Religion and Identity in Ottoman Cappadocia (And Beyond)
    Language, Religion and Identity in Ottoman Cappadocia (and beyond) Mark Janse Ghent University & All Souls College, Oxford Cappadocia has been a multicultural and multilingual region from ancient to modern times. It was the homeland of the Hittites in the 2nd millennium BCE, Hellenised in the final quarter of the 1st millenium BCE, Christianised in the first half of the 1st millennium CE, and finally conquered by the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks in the 1st half of the 2nd millennium CE. Τhe NIA Annual Lecture is about the history and languages of the Orthodox Christians who lived in Cappadocia during the Ottoman Empire and were deported to Ionanistan under the Population Exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1924. Some were Turkish-speaking with a rich literature in Turkish written in the Greek alphabet (Karamanlidika), others were Greek-speaking, but their Greek had been Turkicised to the point of being incomprehensible to their new compatriots. Cappadocian Greek faded away in the new fatherland, until it was believed to have died out in the 1960s. In 2005 it turned out to be still spoken in a few Cappadocian villages in Northern and Central Greece. The language is a living testimony of the symbiosis of two very different peoples, the Muslim Ottoman Turks and the Orthodox Christian Greeks. The lecture will be followed by the documentary “Last Words” (seriousFilm, 2014), about the last speakers of Cappadocian Greek. The documentary has been selected for screening at the 15th International Short Film Festival (Lanzarote), Ethonografilm 2015 (Paris), the 5th International Festival of Ethnographic Film (Sofia) and the 14th RAI International Festival of Ethnographic Film (Bristol).

  • Aspect in the Service of Mood: the Morphosyntax of Subjunctive in Griko Marika Lekakou1 & Josep Quer2 University of Ioannina1, ICREA/Universitat Pompeu Fabra2
    Aspect in the service of mood: the morphosyntax of subjunctive in Griko Marika Lekakou1 & Josep Quer2 University of Ioannina1, ICREA/Universitat Pompeu Fabra2 1. Introduction The topic of this paper is the realization of subjunctive mood in Griko. On the basis of the distribution of verbal forms inside na-clauses, we put forward the claim that, unlike Standard Modern Greek, in Griko subjunctive mood is encoded through both the choice of complementizer and the morphology of the verb. The complementizer na and the verb inside the embedded clause are thus in a relation of concord. We further propose that concord in terms of mood is a grammatical feature induced in Griko via contact with Salentino. If our analysis is on the right track, then subjunctive mood is another domain where contact between Italo-Greek and Italo-Romance in Southern Italy has had effects in both directions. 2. Subjunctive in SMG It is a well-known feature of Standard Modern Greek (SMG) that it lacks infinitives and employs finite complementation instead (a feature of the Balkan Sprachbund, cf. Joseph 1983). The examples in (1-3) illustrated the major complementation strategies in SMG, with oti-, pu-, and na-clauses, corresponding roughly to declarative, factive and subjunctive complements. (1) Ksero oti o Janis agapai ti Maria. know-1SG that the Janis love-3SG the Maria1 ‘I know that John loves Maria.’ (2) Lipame pu i Maria den agapai to Jani. regret-1SG that the Maria NEG love-3SG the Jani ‘I regret that Maria doesn’t love John.’ (3) I Eleni bori na agapai to Jani.

    Journal of Greek Linguistics 19 (2019) 215–226 brill.com/jgl Institutional developments in Greek linguistics Abstract In this piece, three items are presented that discuss recent developments in Modern Greek studies in three different academic institutions that have a positive impact on Greek linguistics. Keywords academia – Modern Greek studies – Modern Greek linguistics In the past year or so, several academic institutions have created centers that provide an institutional home for different aspects of Greek studies on their respective campuses.These centers offer a home for, among other things, Greek linguistics. Thus, in this piece, these three developments are presented by way of showcasing these new centers and their potential for a positive impact on Greek linguistics. 1 The Greek Dialectology Lab at The Ohio State University In the summer of 2018, with the blessings of both the outgoing chair of the Department of Linguistics at The Ohio State University (OSU), Shari Speer, and the incoming chair, Cynthia Clopper, an office in the department which had become vacant was designated as laboratory space and assigned to Distin- guished University Professor of Linguistics Brian D. Joseph for his use. Using as a model the highly successful Laboratory of Modern Greek Dialects (http:// lmgd.philology.upatras.gr) at the University of Patras, where he has visited on numerous occasions, he created the Ohio State University Laboratory for Greek Dialectology (Το Εργαστήριο για την Ελληνική Διαλεκτολογία) with the express purpose of promoting the study of Greek dialects, both ancient and modern. The laboratory is located in room 120 Oxley Hall on the OSU campus.

But does this mean I must eschew Other truths? From ‘The Bats of Wombat State Forest’ in Wild Familiars (2006) by Liana Christensen 3 4 ABSTRACT The revival since the early 1990s of Southern Italian folk traditions has seen the ‘rediscovery’ and active recuperation, especially by urban revivalist actors, of le tradizioni popolari, popular traditional practices originating in peasant society which are still practiced by some traditional local actors in remote rural areas of Southern Italy. This thesis draws on interviews, participant observation and historical research carried out mainly during fieldwork in Rome and Southern Italy in 2002-3 to present an ethnography of the urban revivalist subculture which has been the main driving force behind the contemporary Southern Italian folk revival. In the course of my enquiry into why the movement has emerged, I combine both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, as well as a phenomenological analysis of revivalist motivation and agency, to explore the question of why contemporary urban revivalists have begun to take an interest in the archaic and marginalised cultural practices of rural Southern Italy.

  • Asia Minor Greek)
    From Katpatuka to Ionanistan The Rise, Demise and Reawakening of Cappadocian (Asia Minor Greek) Mark Janse Ghent University / Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University [email protected] Cappadocian (Asia Minor Greek) is a Greek-Turkish mixed language spoken in Cappadocia (Central Turkey) until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in the 1920s. Cappadocian speakers were forced to emigrate to Greece, where they were resettled in various locations, especially in Central and Northern Greece. The Cappadocians rapidly shifted to Standard Modern Greek and/or regional varieties thereof and their language was thought to be extinct since the 1970s (Ethnologue, 15th edition, 2005). In June 2005, Mark Janse (Ghent University) and Dimitris Papazachariou (University of Patras) discovered Cappadocians in Central and Northern Greece who could still speak their native language. Amongst them are middle-aged, third-generation speakers who take a very positive attitude towards the language as opposed to their parents and and grandparents. The latter are much less (if at all) inclined to speak Cappadocian and normally switch to Greek and/or Turkish in their conversations. In his lecture, Professor Janse will relate the linguistic history of Cappadocia and the fascinating story of his search und ultimately discovery of the lost Cappadocian language. The lecture will be followed by the documentary film ‘Last Words’. Mark Janse is BOF-ZAP Research Professor in Ancient & Asia Minor Greek at Ghent University and Associate in Greek Linguistics at Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies. He was a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford (2007 & 2014) and Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies (2013), an A1 Foreign Fellow of the Onassis Foundation, Greece (2008 & 2015), an Onassis Senior Visiting Scholar at Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and the University of Arizona (2012).
