Multiple Determiners and the Structure of DPs
Artemis Alexiadou
This book is a research monograph that investigates the crosslinguistic distribution of multiple determiners. In some languages, noun phrases permit or even seem to require a double or multiple realization of definite/indefinite markers in certain modification environments. The book develops tools… read more[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 211] 2014. xi, 134 pp.
Non-Canonical Passives
Edited by Artemis Alexiadou and Florian Schäfer

The Syntax of Relative Clauses
Edited by Artemis Alexiadou, Paul Law, André Meinunger and Chris Wilder
This book presents a cross-section of recent generative research into the syntax of relative clauses constructions. Most of the papers collected here react in some way to Kayne’s (1994) proposal to handle relative clauses in terms of determiner complementation and raising of the relativized nominal. read more[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 32] 2000. vi, 395 pp.
Possessors, Predicates and Movement in the Determiner Phrase

Studies on Universal Grammar and Typological Variation
Edited by Artemis Alexiadou and Tracy Alan Hall
The articles of the present volume consist of generative analyses dealing with several current topics of discussion and debate in syntactic theory, such as clitics, word order, scrambling, directionality, movement. The data in the volume are drawn from a number of typologically diverse languages (e. read more[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 13] 1997. viii, 252 pp.
2026 Adverb placement and V-raising in heritage Greek Adverbs and Particles at the Form-Meaning Interface, Coniglio, Marco, Kalle Müller and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 200–215 | Chapter
This paper presents a preliminary discussion of adverb placement and V-raising in heritage Greek, by examining two groups of Greek heritage speakers in the US and in Germany. It is shown that heritage speakers generally preserve the V-raising pattern of Greek. Nevertheless, they seem to prefer… read more
2024 Feature-exponence mapping in language contact: Dissolving Feature Reassembly’ Epistemological issue: The importance of features and exponents: Dissolving Feature Reassembly, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 43–47 | Commentary
2023 The use of periphrasis for the expression of aspect by Greek heritage speakers: A case study of register variation narrowing Register Studies 5:1, pp. 82–110 | Article
In this paper, we examine the narrowing of register variation in the domain of verbal aspect in the production of aspect by two different age groups of Greek heritage speakers (HSs), adolescents and adults, which we compared to their monolingual peers. We first identify a previously undocumented… read more
2021 Backward control, long distance agree, nominative case and TP/CP transparency Non-canonical Control in a Cross-linguistic Perspective, Mucha, Anne, Jutta M. Hartmann and Beata Trawiński (eds.), pp. 15–34 | Chapter
In this paper, we revisit the evidence that what has been analyzed as Backward Control in Greek is just another instance of Long Distance Agree. Through the formation of such long distance chains, Greek allows non-local assignment of nominative. We further argue that long distance chains come in… read more
2017 Language variation and change: A case study of the loss of genitive case in (Heritage) Greek Current trends in analyzing syntactic variation, De Cuypere, Ludovic, Clara Vanderschueren and Gert de Sutter (eds.), pp. 56–75 | Article
2016 Building words Morphological Metatheory, Siddiqi, Daniel and Heidi Harley (eds.), pp. 223–236 | Article
This chapter discusses some views on syntactic word formation, by focusing on the assumptions being made within the framework of Distributed Morphology. This is contrasted to two other syntactic views on word formation, namely the exoskeletal model and span based word formation. The chapter also… read more
2014 Causative nominalizations: Implications for the structure of psych verbs Structuring the Argument: Multidisciplinary research on verb argument structure, Bachrach, Asaf, Isabelle Roy and Linnaea Stockall (eds.), pp. 119–137 | Article
We investigate so-called causative psych nominalizations (CPNs), i.e., nominalizations of object experiencer (OE) verbs that realize non-agentive causers as external arguments. While they are ruled out in English (Grimshaw 1990; Iwata 1995; Pesetsky 1995) and have been suggested to be… read more
2014 The canonical function of the deponent
verbs in modern Greek Morphology and Meaning: Selected papers from the 15th International Morphology Meeting, Vienna, February 2012, Rainer, Franz, Francesco Gardani, Hans Christian Luschützky and Wolfgang U. Dressler (eds.), pp. 331–344 | Article
The present paper discusses deponent verbs in Modern Greek. Deponents are claimed to be idiosyncratic, non-canonical verbs representing a mismatch between morphology and syntax/semantics, as they are intransitive verbs exhibiting a morphological form, non-active, without there being an active… read more
2013 Non-canonical passives Non-Canonical Passives, Alexiadou, Artemis and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 1–20 | Article
2012 On the adverbial reading of infrequency adjectives and the structure of the DP Comparative Germanic Syntax: The state of the art, Ackema, Peter, Rhona Alcorn, Caroline Heycock, Dany Jaspers, Jeroen van Craenenbroeck and Guido Vanden Wyngaerd (eds.), pp. 35–66 | Article
In this paper we discuss Occasional Constructions (OCs) in English, German, Greek, and Italian. While English and Italian readily allow OCs, albeit with a different set of determiners, these are absent from the grammar of Greek and are much less frequent, if possible at all, in German. Building on… read more

The aspectual properties of nominalization structures
Morphology and its Interfaces, Galani, Alexandra, Glyn Hicks and George Tsoulas (eds.), pp. 195–278 | ArticleIn this paper I will primarily discuss the aspectual properties of Greek verbderived nominalizations and address the question of how these interact withmorphological marking introducing class and number. Greek nominalizationswill be compared to Romanian ones, which have been argued to show… read more
2011 Scaling the variation in Romance and Germanic nominalizations The Noun Phrase in Romance and Germanic: Structure, variation, and change, Sleeman, Petra and Harry Perridon (eds.), pp. 25–40 | Article
We investigate the distribution of verbal and nominal layers in Romance and Germanic nominalizations. Specifically, we examine pairs of ‘verbal’ vs. ‘nominal’ nominalizations in two Romance (Spanish & Romanian) and two Germanic (English & German) languages. Our study proposes a large spectrum of… read more
2010 No objections to Backward Control Movement Theory of Control, Hornstein, Norbert and Maria Polinsky (eds.), pp. 89–118 | Article
This chapter addresses two main counterarguments put forth in Landau (2007) against the movement analysis of Control, and especially against the phenomenon of Backward Control (BC), as proposed for Tsez by Polinsky & Potsdam (2002). The first objection concerns the Case properties of the subject… read more
2010 Syntactic realizations of plural in Romance and Germanic nominalizations Romance Linguistics 2008: Interactions in Romance, Arregi, Karlos, Zsuzsanna Fagyal, Silvina Montrul and Annie Tremblay (eds.), pp. 107–124 | Article
This paper offers a syntactic account for the various ways in which Plural is expressed within Argument-Supporting Nominals (ASNs) in Romance and Germanic. We first show, starting from Romanian data, that pluralization is connected to aspectual properties like (a)telicity and (un)boundedness. These… read more
2009 Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. vii–xvi | Article

This paper deals with the variable position of adjectives in the Romanian DP. As all other Romance languages, Romanian allows adjectives to appear in both prenominal and postnominal position. In addition, however, Romanian has a third pattern: the so-called cel construction, in which the adjective… read more
2008 Tense marking in the nominal domain: Implications for grammar architecture Linguistic Variation Yearbook 2008, van Craenenbroeck, Jeroen (ed.), pp. 33–60 | Article
The aim of this paper is to argue that temporal marking in the nominal domain should not be taken as evidence for the existence of a syntactic category TP within the extended projection of the noun phrase. On the basis of two unrelated languages, Somali and Halkomelem, the paper re-interprets the… read more

2000 Adjective-clitic combinations in the Greek DP Clitics in Phonology, Morphology and Syntax, Gerlach, Birgit and Janet Grijzenhout (eds.), pp. 63–84 | Article
Possessive clitics in the DP have not received as much attention as clitics in the verbal domain have. In fact, the few existing accounts of cliticization are either phonological (Nespor & Vogel 1986) or primarily morphological (Kolliakou 1997) or morphosyntactic (Horrocks & Stavrou 1988; Stavrou &… read more
