  • 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).

    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.

  • 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).

  • Linguistic Convergence in Asia Minor the Internal Development of Agglutinative Inflections in Cappadocian Greek
    Linguistic Convergence in Asia Minor The Internal Development of Agglutinative Inflections in Cappadocian Greek Mark Janse Ghent University / Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University [email protected] It is generally recognized that Cappadocian has two types of agglutinative noun inflection (Dawkins 1916; Janse 2004, 2019; Karatsareas 2016; Revithiadou et al. 2017): (1) inherited inanimate masculine o-stem nouns, e.g. mílos ‘mill’, gen. míloz-ju, pl. míloz-ja, attested in Central and South Cappadocian, (2) inherited feminine a-stem nouns, e.g. néka ‘woman’, gen. néka-ju, pl. néc-es, gen. néc-ez-ju, attested in South Cappadocian. The latter in particular is interpreted as a case of pattern replication from Turkish: néc-ez-ju :: kadın-lar-ın ‘woman’- PL-GEN. Other reported cases include papáj-ez-ju ‘priest’- PL-GEN (Axo, Mavrochalyvidis & Kesisoglou 1960) and átropoz-ja-ju ‘man’-PL-GEN (Ulağaç, Sasse 1992). In this paper I will show that a language-internal development took place in Cappadocian which produced agglutinative-like structures. The inflection of inherited animate o- stems resulted at some point of its development in extensive case syncretism: sg. nom. áθrop-os, gen. aθróp-(u), acc. def. áθrop-o, indef. áθrop-os, pl. nom. aθróp-(i), gen. aθróp-(u(n)), acc. aθróp- (i). This led to the development of an innovative pl. acc. built on the syncretic nom.-acc. in -(i) plus the old pl. acc. ending: aθrop-í-us > aθrop-j-ús and an innovative pl. gen. aθrop-í-u(n) > aθrop-j-ú(n). These inflections could be reanalyzed as agglutinative: aθrop-j-ús ‘man’- PL-ACC, aθrop-j-ú(n) ‘man’- PL-GEN, and hence also aθróp-(i)-Ø, ‘man’- PL-NOM :: Turkish pl.

  • Introduction Language Death and Language Maintenance Problems and Prospects
    INTRODUCTION LANGUAGE DEATH AND LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS MARK JANSE Linguistic Bibliography / Ghent University / University of Amsterdam It has been estimated that more than half of the world’s languages have dis- appeared in the last 500 years (Sasse 1990). Of the remaining 6,809 languages listed in the latest printed edition of the Ethnologue (Grimes 2000) more than half are believed to be in danger of disappearing in the present century. Ac- cording to one pessimistic view, only 600 languages stand a fair chance of sur- viving in the long run (Krauss 1992). The conclusion is inescapable: languages are dying at an alarming rate all over the world. Leaving aside such cases as restricted languages (otherwise dead languages used exclusively in restricted domains, e.g. liturgical languages such as Latin, Coptic or Ge‛ez) and residual languages (otherwise lost languages preserved in isolated words, phrases, songs or sayings to mark group membership, particu- larly in minority groups), a language is dead when it no longer has any speak- ers. Language death is defined by Campbell as “the loss of a language due to gradual shift to the dominant language in language contact situations” (1994:1961).1 Such situations involve an intermediate stage of bilingualism in which the subordinate language is employed by a decreasing number of speak- ers in an equally decreasing number of contexts, until it ultimately disappears altogether. The process is typically accompanied by a gradual attrition of the subordinate language along a continuum determined mainly by age (although attitude and other factors may play an important part).

How do larger political, social, and economic circumstances Waffect their choices? And how can and should the work all classicists do, as teachers, students, and scholars respond to these circumstances? These questions have become as vital to our field as they are inevitable. While the answers each individual reaches will always be their own, my experiences over the last year have left me in no doubt that a willingness really to listen to different voices grappling with such issues and active efforts to further the variety and authority of these voices are fundamental responsibilities of our field and our profession. This makes me as chair especially proud of several ways in which our department has taken a leading role in advancing this conversation and meeting these responsibilities. First, I have been personally intellectual labors of slaves who made such work possible for their Roman masters.

    journal of language contact 13 (2020) 177-226 brill.com/jlc The Development, Preservation and Loss of Differential Case Marking in Inner Asia Minor Greek Petros Karatsareas Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics, School of Humanities, University of Westminster, London, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract In Cappadocian and Pharasiot, the two main members of the inner Asia Minor Greek dialect group, the head nouns of NPs found in certain syntactic positions are marked with the accusative if the relevant NPs are definite and with the nominative if the NPs are indefinite. This differential case marking (dcm) pattern contrasts with all other Modern Greek dialects, in which the accusative is uniformly used in the relevant syn- tactic positions. After revisiting recent proposals regarding the synchronic status of dcm in Cappadocian and Pharasiot, I show how the two dialects developed this ‘un- Greek’ feature in the model of Turkish, which marks the head nouns of direct object NPs with an accusative suffix only if they take a specific reading leaving non-specific direct object NPs unmarked. I subsequently trace the diachronic trajectory of this contact-induced innovation within the two dialectal systems, seeking to explain why dcm was gradually lost in Cappadocian but preserved in Pharasiot. Keywords differential case marking – differential object marking – language contact – Asia Minor Greek – Cappadocian –Pharasiot – Turkish 1 Introduction Inner Asia Minor Greek (henceforth iamgr) is a Modern Greek (ModGr) dia- lect group that includes Cappadocian, Pharasiot, and Silliot.
