  • INSCRIPTIONS from ATTICA 27 Inscriptions
    INSCRIPTIONSFROM ATTICA (PLATE 15: b, c, d) JTN THE course of the years 1947, 1948, and 1949 the undersignedhave made a series of excursions in Attica, as time and their other duties permitted, for the purpose of making squeezes of inscriptions in the outlying areaS-for the collection at the Institute for Advanced Study. Among the many inscriptions already known, a few new pieces turned up which we publish below. We add also a few comments on some previously published texts. 1. Dedication to Pythian Apollo (Plate 15, b) Church of the Panagia, Merenda, southeast of Markopoulo, site of the ancient deme of Myrrhinous. Found in June 1948 lying in front of the church where it had probably been at least since 1929 to judge by the graffito on the face. Probably dis- covered somewhere in the immediate neighborhood. Brought to the Epigraphical Museum, Athens, March 1949; now E.M. 13,120. The stone is a rectangular pillar of Hymettian marble which tapers slightly towards the top. It is broken below and it has been re-worked above at the back to a rough curving surface as if someone had started to make it into a capital for the window column of a church. The sides are dressed with a toothed chisel at the edges and are smooth picked at the center. The back is rough picked. The letters run vertically from top to bottom. The inscription is complete at the right (lower) end, and only a little is missing at the left (top) as the meter shows. The inscribed face is marred by a modern graffito consisting of the name Stelios Katroulis, the date 1929, a cross and a steamboat.

  • Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues
    Tourism Development in Greek Insular and Coastal Areas: Sociocultural Changes and Crucial Policy Issues Paris Tsartas University of the Aegean, Michalon 8, 82100 Chios, Greece The paperanalyses two issuesthat have characterised tourism development inGreek insularand coastalareas in theperiod 1970–2000. The firstissue concerns the socioeco- nomic and culturalchanges that have taken place in theseareas and ledto rapid– and usuallyunplanned –tourismdevelopment. The secondissue consists of thepolicies for tourismand tourismdevelopment atlocal,regional and nationallevel. The analysis focuseson therole of thefamily, social mobility issues,the social role of specific groups, and consequencesfor the manners, customs and traditionsof thelocal popula- tion.It also examines the views and reactionsof localcommunities regarding tourism and tourists.There is consideration of thenew productive structuresin theseareas, including thedowngrading of agriculture,the dependence of many economicsectors on tourism,and thelarge increase in multi-activityand theblack economy. Another focusis on thecharacteristics of masstourism, and on therelated problems and criti- cismsof currenttourism policies. These issues contributed to amodel of tourism development thatintegrates the productive, environmental and culturalcharacteristics of eachregion. Finally, the procedures and problemsencountered in sustainabledevel- opment programmes aiming at protecting the environment are considered. Social and Cultural Changes Brought About by Tourism Development in the Period 1970–2000 The analysishere focuseson three mainareas where these changesare observed:sociocultural life, productionand communication. It should be noted thata large proportionof all empirical studies of changesbrought aboutby tourism development in Greece have been of coastal and insular areas. Social and cultural changes in the social structure The mostsignificant of these changesconcern the family andits role in the new ‘urbanised’social structure, social mobility and the choicesof important groups, such as young people and women.

Die gemessenen Spaltspuralter und modellierten Abkühlpfade weisen auf regionale und zeitliche Schwankungen der posteozänen Abtragungsgeschwindigkeiten hin. Zwei präeozäne Generationen von Paläokarst sind auf Skopelos zu beobachten. Die erste entwickelte sich während der Unterkreide auf triadischen Dolomiten des alten pelagonischen Schelfs. Die Bauxite und Laterite, mit denen dieser Palaeokarst versiegelt ist, sind aus verschwemmtem Material der Eohellenischen Decke hervorgegangen. Eine zweite Generation von Paläokarst entwickelte sich auf oberkretazi- schen Rudistenkalken und wurde unter palaeogenem Flysch begraben. Drei Generationen neogener Verflachungen treten auf Skopelos oberhalb von 300 m Seehöhe auf.

  • The Greek Suffix -Ozos a Case Study in Loan Suffixation
    Journal of Greek Linguistics 16 (2016) 232–265 brill.com/jgl The Greek suffix -ozos A Case Study in Loan Suffixation Georgia Katsouda Research Centre for Modern Greek Dialects, Academy of Athens [email protected] Abstract This paper offers a morphological analysis of the borrowed derivational suffix -όζος [ózos], used in both a number of Modern Greek (MGr) dialects and in Standard Mod- ern Greek (SMGr). It draws on an extensive corpus to examine the suffix from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. Our diachronic analysis emphasizes the geo- graphical distribution, the etymological provenance of the suffix, and the loan accom- modation strategies employed in various MGr dialects, thus providing some interest- ing etymological findings regarding the lexical stock of Modern Greek (Standard and dialects). Our synchronic analysis focuses on the stem categories with which the suffix combines and accounts for the phonological, morphological, and syntactic constraints that function during the derivational process. Keywords loanword – loan suffixation – borrowable – donor language – recipient language – accommodation strategy – constraint 1 Introduction This paper provides a morphological analysis of the borrowed derivational suffix -όζος [ózos], which has not until now been systematically investigated. The suffix is used in a number of Modern Greek (MGr) dialects, mainly to form adjectives, as shown in (1): © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2016 | doi: 10.1163/15699846-01602003 Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 03:18:14PM via free access the greek suffix -ozos 233 (1) a. σωματόζος [somatózos] Myconos, Paros, Zakynthos ‘stout’ b. αιματόζος [ematózos] Kythira ‘scarlet’ Here, in the present article, we draw on an extensive corpus to examine the suffix -όζος [ózos] from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective.
