The Historical Dictionary of Cappadocian Dialects as a Contribution to the Study of Variation and Change
-
Simeon Tsolakidis
Abstract
The present paper aims to offer insights into the ways modern dialectal (e-)lexicography can contribute to the study of Modern Greek language variation and change reporting on the new Historical Dictionary of the Cappadocian Dialects (ILIK). To this end, various representative entries will be put under scrutiny as a way of illustrating their contribution to modern linguistic research. In the first section of the main part of the present paper we will discuss some aspects of (intra-) dialectal variation in East Asia Minor Greek (EAMG), and in the second one we will deal with deponency in the varieties under examination.
