Abstract:
The following study of diminutive and augmentative suflixation in Modern Greek Koine is based on a variationist model of analysis. As such, it allows contextual meaning to permeate all statements of form. Furthermore, it purports to reveal the interplay between the distributional and the probabilistic properties of the relevant exponents of grammatical values. Thirdly, it seeks to establish the contents of competence through the analysis of use. Lastly, it combines both synchronic and diachronic considerations in that it attempts to show how variation through time is invested with and sustained by present-time social functionality.
