Change and Variation in a Trilingual Setting: Evidentiality in Pomak (Slavic, Greece)
de Adamou, Evangelia (aut.)
Ouvrage: The Interplay of Variation and Change in Contact Settings Benjamins 2013 pp. 229-252 -- [Autres dépouillements]Contenu: In Pomak (Greece), we attest to the loss of a morphologically overt expression of mediate information, passing through a stage of variation (determined by syntactic, semantic, and discursive criteria). This change takes place in a trilingual setting where the main contact language (Greek) has no grammaticalized form to express mediate information, while the second contact language (Turkish), has a verbal past paradigm specialized for evidentiality. This phenomenon is analyzed within a multiple causation approach in which language contact acts as a catalyst.Type de document: Article d'ouvrageLangue du document: anglais Ressource en-ligne: Accès public| Location | Call number | Status | Notes | Date due |

In Pomak (Greece), we attest to the loss of a morphologically overt expression of mediate information, passing through a stage of variation (determined by syntactic, semantic, and discursive criteria). This change takes place in a trilingual setting where the main contact language (Greek) has no grammaticalized form to express mediate information, while the second contact language (Turkish), has a verbal past paradigm specialized for evidentiality. This phenomenon is analyzed within a multiple causation approach in which language contact acts as a catalyst.
