Primary Data Annotation and Morphophonological Analysis of the Tsakonic Dialect, Based on Fieldwork Research Primary Data Annotation and Morphophonological Analysis of the Tsakonic Dialect, based on Fieldwork Research Styliani Georgiadou [email protected] MA in Linguistics School of English Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Supervised by Prof. Elizabeth Mela- Athanasopoulou Thessaloniki 31/08/2018 Styliani Georgiadou Styliani Georgiadou Abstract The present dissertation discussed the phonological and morphological occurring phenomena in the Tsakonic dialect. Based on the theoretical framework of language shift and language death, it also aimed to examine if and to what extend several morphophonological phenomena of the Tsakonic dialect were influenced by standard Greek; in other words, if Tsakonic has undergone attrition and constitutes an endangered language. The data were collected through fieldwork research, which was conducted in Peloponnese in November of 2016. Twelve Tsakonic speakers participated and their age ranged from 52 to 84 years old. Interviews with them took place while they were being recorded. The data were analyzed by qualitative research, thus statistical results were not included. The findings confirmed that Tsakonic has been greatly influenced by standard Greek. Its structure is now reduced and oversimplified. The Doric elements of the dialect have been preserved but they constitute mostly a lexical rather than a phonological matter. The reasons that Tsakonic is heading to its death since 1960‟s are various. The urbanization made people look for a better job in big cities, the upgrading of means of transport made the area accessible, linking the villages of Tsakonia to nearby cities. Therefore, the dominant language in Tsakonia is now standard Greek and people use it in order to communicate. The findings of the research indicated that Tsakonic is seriously endangered since there are very few young speakers. In order to save the dialect, the speakers‟ attitude towards their dialect should be positive and the community should organize lessons, lectures etc. for the young people to attend. i Styliani Georgiadou Table of contents Abstract...........................................................................................................................i Table of contents............................................................................................................ii Maps..............................................................................................................................iv Preface...........................................................................................................................v Acknowledgements........................................................................................................vi Personal photos............................................................................................................vii List of abbreviations......................................................................................................ix 1.

To her I owe a great amount of gratitude as she urged me and her students towards a morphophonological analysis of an endangered Greek dialect based on fieldwork research. Therefore, I attempted the first trip to those villages of Peloponnese where Tsakonic is still spoken, especially by old people, together with my fellow students Vaia Papadimitriou and Athena Giannakopoulou. We recorded the native speakers‟ talks, which were mostly narratives and songs. Following our Professor‟s instructions and according to Himmelmann‟s and other fieldworkers‟ program (Gippert, Himmelmann & Mosel, 2006), we presented our research joint-paper work in the classroom. The questions and remarks of our fellow students of the English department were extremely fruitful for us. After her insightful comments and in depth evaluation, Ms. Mela granted us excellent grades. While attending the post graduate courses in the same department, I decided to write my MA thesis on the Tsakonic dialect. For this reason, I decided to collect meta data information by coming into contact with some native speakers living in Thessaloniki and also recording more material. v Styliani Georgiadou Acknowledgements The present research paper would not have been possible if I had not received the support of a few people to whom I owe my gratitude. First of all, I would like to thank Professor Elizabeth Mela- Athanasopoulou, my main supervisor in my MA thesis, for giving me the opportunity to get involved with this MA thesis, urging me to engage in the fieldwork research and offering me invaluable help throughout the project. Many thanks go to the other two members of this research, Professor Nicolaidou Katerina and Professor Athanasiadou Angeliki, for their invaluable comments. I am also utterly grateful to the residents from both Tyros and Leonidio, who were extremely eager to be recorded and to help in any way. Without the help of the native speakers Antonis, Georgos D., Georgos N., Tasos, Dimitris, Michalis, Ioannis, Ilias, Thomai, Thomai-Milio, Christina and Thomai, this research would not have been conducted in the first place. The trip to Tyros and Leonidio, where the dialect is spoken was an extraordinary experience that I will always remember. Note: The surnames of the native speakers can be given by the writer upon request. vi Styliani Georgiadou Personal Photos Photo 3. Leonidio Photo 4.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

I usually review the season just gone, the new tours that we ran, the preparatory recces we made, the new tours we are unveiling for the next year, the feedback we have received and our exciting plans for the future. However, as you well know, this year has been unlike any other in our collective memory. Our exciting plans for 2020 were thrown into disarray, just like many of yours. We were so disappointed that so many of you were unable to travel with us in 2020. Our greatest pleasure is to share the destinations we have grown to love so deeply with you our wonderful guests. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with many of you personally during the 2020 season. I was warmed and touched by your support, your understanding, your patience, and your generosity. All of us here at PST are extremely grateful and heartened by your enthusiasm and eagerness to travel with us when it becomes possible. PST is a small, flexible, and dynamic company.

  • DIATOPY of COMPLEMENT-Pu
    6.ÊDIATOPY OF COMPLEMENT-pu In this chapter I catalogue the dialects of Greek in which the realis complemen- tiser system deviates in some significant way from CSMG. There are two ways this can occur: either pu spreads at the expense of oti/pos, particularly into the linguistic and cognitive weak assertive domains, or oti/pos spreads at the ex- pense of pu, particularly into the emotive predetermined domain. Both pro- cesses are attested for Modern Greek dialects.1 The strongest evidence for such a disruption is when weak assertives take pu- complements. Weak assertives are the least factive of realis predicates, and are thus the unlikeliest to take pu-complements in CSMG. One can also consider the use of pu after linguistic predicates, but this test is less reliable, since linguistic- pu is at least a marginal feature of CSMG. The major regions in which comple- mentation is significantly disrupted with respect to CSMG are given in MapÊ1. Map 1. Regions of deviant complementation discussed This is a survey of realis complementation throughout Modern Greek dialects, of a kind not attempted hitherto; for a more global purview of complementa- tion, and to place the spread of complementiser-pu in a diachronic context, I therefore concentrate not only on the distribution of pu, but also on that of other complementisersÑparticularly to in Anatolian Greek, a complementiser which 1Other issues involving complementationÑnotably syntactic issues, such as which parts of speech may take complements, and whether pu-complements may be preposedÑare addressed in ¤7.3. 266 THE STORY OF pu like pu is of relativiser origin, but unlike pu is not a locative.

    KARYES L a k o n i a KARYATES ASSOCIATION NEWS BULETTIN Issue number 28 Spring 2021 PROGRAM "OUR ANCESTORS’ ROOTS" An initiative of the Karyates Association in view of the Karyes Laconia Memory and Culture Centre completion and operation The Karyates Association on the occasion of the creation of the Karyes Laconia Memory and Culture Center inaugurates the program "OUR ANCESTORS ROOTS". The Program’s purpose is to collect data and information on the large migration flow of our compatriots during the 20th century from their homeland, Karyes Laconia to the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, etc. Our hope is with this program to record the historical path of the Arachovites / Caryates and their families over the last 150years, so that through it the third and fourth generation descendants will be able to reconnect with the place of origin of their ancestors and come in contact with modern Greece and more specifically with the beautiful place of Karyes, Laconia, their ancestors homeland. For this purpose, the Association appeals to all compatriots, wherever they are, to reminisce about their historical family memories, to record and send us a brief history of their family. This story will start from the their first Arachovite / Caryatian ancestor who emigrated, will narrate his own course in the new place he settled and will continue unfolding the story of his descendants in the new homelands. Furthermore the description of events or incidents that highlight the social contribution of the ancestors in the new homelands, but also in Karyes will have an additional historical value. These recordings can be sent to the email address [email protected] in order to be recorded by the Association and used for the purpose of the vision of the Karyes Laconia Memory and Culture Centre.
