Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Morphologies in Contact

Abstract

This study examines how Balkan Romani dialects replicate, to some extent, the patterns of reflexive and passive marking of either Greek or Bulgarian. The Romani verbal system differs from Bulgarian and Greek as regards the form-meaning relation of reflexive and passive verbs. Ongoing changes can be interpreted as a tendency towards an equivalence relation in the verbal systems of Romani and Bulgarian or Romani and Greek. We examine how Romani replicates the analytic model construction of Bulgarian and the Greek synthetic pattern and which mechanisms are at work.
