About the Book

English summary: This study explores one of the most salient features of the Modern Greek (MG) syntax, namely the complementation function of the na-clauses. Traditionally, this grammatical structure is seen as a mood category, a part of the verbal paradigm and is designated as a 'subjunctive'. However, in spite of numerous publications dealing with the phenomenon, linguistic scholarship has not yet reached a consensus about the exact syntactic and semantic features of this grammatical construction. In this monograph it is suggested that the na-clauses do constitute a genuine mood category, nevertheless the impressionistic descriptiveness of traditional terminology should be supported by a more systematic and up-to-date semantic and syntactic analysis. The book comprises eight chapters that offer a "holistic" approach to MG subjunctive complementation. To that end the na-clauses are examined by investigating extensive diachronic, synchronic, and typological data that shed light on this single phenomenon. Diachronically, the rise of the finite complementation in MG in Koine and Early Middle Greek - and the parallel demise of the non-finite verbal categories - is discussed, synchronically the na-clauses are analyzed with regard to their semantic function and exact syntactic properties and typologically the MG na-clause are contrasted with several germane cross-linguistic complementation structures. Despite the major importance of the subjunctive complementation within the MG syntax, this is the first monograph exclusively dedicated to this phenomenon. It aims to provide a precise description of the na-clauses which will be enduring and useful for any future attempt to better comprehend the overall complementation architecture of the Modern Greek language. In terms of methodology, it encompasses findings stemming from the long grammatic tradition on Greek philology, language contact research and state-of-the-art diachronic syntax.This work is a slightly revised version of the author's doctoral thesis which was awarded the Indo-European Society's 2013 prize for best dissertation and will be of interest to historical linguists, syntacticians, typologists as well as classical philologists. German description: Diese Studie untersucht eines der markantesten Merkmale der neugriechischen Syntax: die Komplementationsfunktion der na-Nebensatze. Traditionell wird diese grammatikalische Struktur als ein Modus bzw. spezifischer als "Konjunktiv" bezeichnet, jedoch konnte bisher trotz zahlreicher Veroffentlichungen in der sprachwissenschaftlichen Forschung kein Konsens uber die genauen syntaktischen und semantischen Merkmale dieses Phanomens erzielt werden. Die vorliegende Monographie vertritt die These, dass die na-Strukturen in der Tat einen echten Modus darstellen. Dennoch sollte die impressionistische Beschreibung der traditionellen Terminologie durch eine systematischere und zeitgenossischere semantische sowie syntaktische Analyse untermauert werden. Das Buch umfasst acht Kapitel, die einen "holistischen" Ansatz zur Erarbeitung der neugriechischen Konjunktiv-Komplementation verfolgen. Zu diesem Zweck werden die na-Nebensatze einer eingehenden diachronen, synchronen und typologischen Untersuchung unterzogen. Diachron wird einerseits die Entstehung der finiten Komplementation in der neugriechischen Sprache, in der Koine und in der fruhmittelgriechischen Sprache behandelt. Andererseits wird der parallel dazu verlaufende Ruckgang der infiniten verbalen Kategorien diskutiert. Synchron werden die na-Satze hinsichtlich ihrer semantischen Funktion und exakten syntaktischen Eigenschaften analysiert, wahrend typologisch dem neugriechischen na-Satz mehrere relevante sprachenubergreifende Komplementierungsstrukturen gegenubergestellt werden.Trotz der grossen Bedeutung der Konjunktiverganzung innerhalb der neugriechischen Syntax ist dies die erste Monographie, die sich ausschliesslich diesem Phanomen widmet. Sie zielt darauf ab, eine prazise Beschreibung der na-Nebensatze zur Verfugung zu stellen, die fur zukunftige Analysen in diesem Bereich langfristig von Nutzen sein wird. Methodisch umfasst die Studie Erkenntnisse aus der langen grammatikalischen Tradition der griechischen Philologie, der Sprachkontaktforschung sowie der aktuellen diachronen Syntax. Dieses Werk ist eine uberarbeitete Version der Dissertation des Autors, die im Jahr 2013 durch die Indogermanische Gesellschaft mit dem Preis fur die beste Dissertation ausgezeichnet wurde. Es richtet sich an Forschende der historischen Linguistik, der syntaktischen Theorie, der Typologie und der klassischen Philologie.
