Acquisition of the Verbal Domain in Child Greek ACQUISITION OF THE VERBAL DOMAIN IN CHILD GREEK EVIDENCE FROM A NEW CHILD GREEK CORPUS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences Thomas Doukas June 2011 ABSTRACT The current thesis addresses the acquisition of the verbal domain in early Greek by exploring tense, finiteness, and subject-verb agreement based on samples from two monolingual children aged 1;7 – 2;11. The analyses of the data address two main theoretical accounts of language acquisition, namely, the generative approach and the usage-based approach. The results of the analyses, however, suggest that the latter approach did not provide sufficient empirical evidence to account for the data presented in this study. Previous research suggested that sigmatic past in Greek is more prominent than non-sigmatic past, and therefore, its acquisition is subject to a dual mechanism. The results of the use of past tense suggest that sigmatic forms are used more often than non-sigmatic ones. A frequency analysis suggests that high frequency past tense forms in adults are used more often by children than low frequency ones. Studies in child Greek proposed an early stage of development, during which children produce non-finite non-adult verbal forms, also referred to as the Root Infinitive stage. The data analysis show very few non-finite non-adult forms. These occur in children‘s speech only for a very short period at around the age of 2 years. The frequency analysis reveals that input does not relate to the production of RIs in children‘s speech. Previous studies on the acquisition of verbal morphology showed that children‘s use of person and number markings are not productive and that children use mainly the 3rd singular. The subject-verb agreement analysis shows that error rates are low in children‘s speech and that subject-verb agreement is used productively from very early. 2 A frequency analysis shows that use of inflectional morphology is very similar between the two children but different to adults. To conclude, this thesis provides new evidence for very early acquisition of the verbal domain in child Greek. 3 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Thomas Doukas ____________________________________________________________ 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Embarking on this journey there was only one aphorism in my mind: reach what you cannot (Nikos Kazantzakis — Report to Greco). Completing a doctoral thesis is a herculean task. One‘s feelings are mixed; there is relief, happiness, sheer terror, anticipation, worry, and nostalgia. There‘s also gratitude and appreciation due, to many individuals, so this is an opportunity for me to thank all these people that have been, directly and indirectly, involved in this task. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Theo Marinis, for his support, patience and continuous advice and guidance for the past years. Theo‘s contribution to this task has been invaluable. I am grateful to a number of linguists for discussing my ideas, and for entertaining my linguistic apprehensions in the course of this task, but mostly for their friendship; these are Evi Sifaki, Dina Haidou, Vina Tsakali, and Laura Mutti. Special thanks are due to James Fenton for reading and commenting on some parts of this thesis, for coffees, cakes and great conversation by the river, and for being a true friend. I would like to thank Maria‘s and Eve‘s families for allowing them to participate in this study. My time spent with Maria and Eve during the recordings was the most joyful part of this thesis. Not all of my time was spent writing this thesis. Over the past 4 years I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with a number of people at Choice Support. I am grateful to Sarah Maguire, Pippa Gascoigne and Kim Arnold, for encouraging me, for being flexible with my research duties, and for listening to all my worries. Thanks for being there for me! 5 Special thanks are due to Andrew Moore for his psychological support, his belief in me, and his long-lasting patience and for being constantly beside me; sine qua non! Last but not least, a huge thanks to my beloved family, my parents and my siblings, for their emotional and financial support, love and encouragement during the past years. Surely without their constant presence, belief in me and care I could not have succeeded on this project. I hope I am making you really proud! This thesis is dedicated to Marina Tsakiridou, the converted Hypatia. 6 Table of Contents LIST OF TABLES .......................................................................................................... 10 LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................ 14 ABBREVIATIONS ........................................................................................................ 15 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................. 17 2 THEORIES OF LANGUAGE ACQUISITION ..................................................... 22 2.1 Intro ................................................................................................................. 22 2.2 How is language acquired?

  • 159 Athena Katsanevaki CHROMATICISM
    Athena Katsanevaki Chromaticism – a theoretical construction or… Athena Katsanevaki CHROMATICISM – A THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTION OR A PRACTICAL TRANSFORMATION? Abstract: Chromaticism is a phenomenon which is shared by different musical cultu- res. In the Balkans it is evident both in ecclesiastical and traditional music. In an- tiquity it was attested by ancient Greek writers and was described in theory. It is also apparent in different forms in ancient Greek musical fragments. Nevertheless it is disputed whether it represents a theoretical form (genus) or reflects a musical practice and its formation. Apart from any theoretical analysis of ancient Greek testimony, ethnomusicology can contribute to an explanation by classification and interpretation of various forms in which chromaticism is found in the Balkans. In Northwestern Greece many different forms can offer us various melodic paths that, if followed by vocal or instrumental musical practice, result in special chromatic melodic move- ments. Such movements reveal the genesis of tense chromatic and actually reveal some implications about the differences between the two chromatic shades (tense and soft) in traditional and ecclesiastical music. Keywords: chromatic, hemitonic pentatonic, anhemitonic pentatonic, the Balkans, Nikriz. Introduction In Northwestern Greece a chromatic element is found in traditional melodies. These melodies, using purely pentatonic tunings, present an alteration of a tone on top of the tetrachord. This chromatic element is usually not presented as a clear chromaticism. It is considered to be a practice which colors the melodies. In this system found in Northwestern Greece the chromatic element is attested in many ways as a flexible practice which becomes stabilized and concludes a musical structure.

  • Eine Neue Form Von Parnassius Mnemosyne L. Von Hans Reisser, Wien
    Seite 60 Zeitschrift des Osterr. Entomologen-Vereines 9. Jahrgang Anmerkung: Bei dieser Gelegenheit, da ich auf die sibi- rischen apollo - Rassen zu sprechen komme, sei es mir gestattet, der Arbeit von O. Hesse „Parnassius apollo L. Variationen oder Aberrationen?" (Rev. Russe d'Ent., XIII, pp. 61—65, 1913) kurz zu gedenken. Der Autor hat in mehreren Jahren eine Anzahl (bis 1000 Stück) P. Apollo bei Irkutsk gesammelt, von denen er 100 Stück für seine Sammlung wählte. Auf dieses Material sich stützend, macht er die Angabe, er hätte die Formen „hesebolus Nordm., sibirica Nordm., uralensis Obth.. graslini Obth., minerva Btl. und jedenfalls noch andere" gefunden und wären diese Formen höchstens als Aberrationen, keinesfalls aber als Lokal- formen anzusehen. Es ist aber klar, daß Herr Hesse eine ganz irreführende Methode anwandte, die sich natürlich gar nicht für ein Studium der Lokalrassen eignet und die ihn auch zu falschen Schlußfolgerungen veranlaßte. In größeren Serien jeder Lokalform finden sich stets Stücke, die von der dominierenden Form der Lokalität mehr oder weniger abweichen und sich durch gewisse Merkmale den verwandten Rassen nähern. Dies wäre· aber doch kein Grund, den Wert der Rassen als solche anzuzweifeln, da doch der gesamte Habitus einer ganzen Serie aus einer Lokali- tät für die Charakteristik der Rasse maßgebend erscheint. Wenn wir auch keine anderen Gründe hätten, die es uns nicht ermög- lichen, die Ansichten des Herrn Hesse zu teilen, so müßten wir, so weit ein genauer Vergleich von Serien der diversen Rassen, deren Wert bestritten wird, von Herrn Hesse nicht vorgenom- men wurde, schon a priori seine Schlußfolgerungen als wertlos ansehen.

Medieval studies have now dispelled such conjectures: even in antiquity we cannot assume the continuous evolution of. one species of 'Greek music'. The main instrumental types and the main theoretical terms persist. But instruments are inadequate clues to a music predominantly vocal; and the terms of theory seldom referred to musical facts. With the notable exception of Aristoxenus, the purpose of Greek theorists was not to analyse the art of music but to expound the independent science of harmonics; and ultimately the transmission of this harmonic science had no more to do with the history of musical art than the transmission of Greek astronomy or medicine. 2 History must start from the great and obvious divergence between the fates of language and of music among Greeks who could quote their Homer for two millennia, but who ceased, after a certain point, to know their musical past except as they knew names of dead athletes.
