Abstract

This article deals with word-formation in Modern Greek. It provides a basic description of the structure and properties of compounding, derivation and blending, which is followed by explanations drawn from various theoretical analyses that have been proposed in the literature. All issues and claims are illustrated with a number of examples, which, for clarity reasons, are given in a broad phonological transcription.
