Abstract:
This paper deals with the structure and the morpho syntactic information of Greeknominal inflection It argues that nouns are binary-branching combinations of stemsand affixes, and features characterizing inflected words follow a bottom-up procedureaccording to a well defined set of percolation principles Lexical entries that participatein inflectional processes are assumed to be listed as feature-bundle sets, and categories such as gender case, number and inflection class are reexamined within the framework of a feature based approach to morphology As opposed to traditional approaches to inflection, the proposed analysis has senous consequences to the distribution of nouns in inflectional paradigms, the well-known declinations.
