Italian VeV lexical constructions
No full textIn this paper, we offer a fine-grained analysis of Italian VeV lexical constructions, i.e., phrasal lexemes formed by two conjoined verbs that yield a noun or an adjective as output. These constructions are peculiar in that they cannot be regarded as prototypical words, but nonetheless have the status of lexemes. In our analysis, we use two approaches. On the one hand, we apply to VeV lexemes the traditional methodology used in Lexical Morphology in order to capture the generalizations underlying the formations of these items. Therefore, we look for constraints on the input and the output of VeV lexemes at the main levels of linguistic analysis, namely phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. On the other hand, we make use of usage-based constructionist models in order to account for the rise of various semantic classes of VeV lexemes and new formations. Data form corpora show that the emergence of VeV lexemes is to be ascribed to the entrenchment of a few exemplars, which lead to the creation of more abstract constructions that in turn license the formation of new lexemes. Finally, VeV lexemes are found to be closely related to other VV lexemes in Italian that are usually ascribed to the realm of compounding: all these constructions are dedicated strategies to encode a complex event semantics into different linguistic forms, namely nouns and adjectives (but not verbs). This obvioulsy raises interesting typological questions regarding the nature and role of lexicalization strategies involving two verbs in the languages of the world, which we leave for future research

Board games in the CLIL classroom: New trends in content and language integrated learning. Alexiou, T. & Karasimos, A. (Eds.) (2024). De Gruyter Mouton, 307 pages, ISBN: 978-3-111-00047-3
No full textThe rise of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as a dynamic pedagogical approach has led to the adoption of various innovative teaching methods aimed at optimizing its effectiveness. Among these, game-based learning stands out as a particularly promising technique, which harnesses the engaging and interactive nature of games to boost both language acquisition and content mastery. Despite its considerable potential, there remains a significant gap in research regarding the effectiveness and implementation strategies of game-based CLIL (Lister, 2022; Prakash & Spoorthi, 2022). This gap underscores the urgent need for investigation to fully understand its impact and establish best practices to ensure that educators can maximize the benefits of this approach in diverse learning environments. The book, Board Games in the CLIL Classroom: New Trends in Content and Language Integrated Learning, edited by Thomai Alexiou and Athanasios Karasimos, serves as a timely response to this need by exploring the innovative use of board games within CLIL settings.The rise of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as a dynamic pedagogical approach has led to the adoption of various innovative teaching methods aimed at optimizing its effectiveness.

From a Legacy Dictionary to New Lexica: An Alternative Time-Machine to Discover Neologisms
No full textThe History of Greek Lexicography has many examples of exceptional and quite “crazy” pioneer researchers, amateur lexicographers, linguist authors who travel all the country to collect data for their lexica and dictionaries. Nikos Kazantzakis travelled most areas of Greece to collect “beautiful” words for his works, especially for his epic saga, Odyssey – as a sequel of the Homer’s Odyssey. He describes the following story. Kazantzakis was taking pictures of rare flowers and trees in the coun..
Introducing allofixes: Competitive suffixes in Greek derivation
No full textThe main aim of this study is to identify competitive suffixes that do not appear in the same morpho-phonological environment. For these pairs, the term allofix is introduced. Allofixes are different entries in the morpheme lexicon, with different phonological shapes and properties with similar semantic properties, and they appear in different morphological environments, mainly because of phono-morphological constraints. Following these constraints, such as the blocking one, we will expand the analysis and explanations for allofix presence on phono-morpho-semantic grounds, taking some ideas from the properties of allomorphy into consideration
Computational prediction of Greek Nominal Allomorphy
No full textIn Theoretical Morphology, an interest in the topic of stem allomorphy has been renewed the last two decades. On the other hand, the computational treatment of allomorphy is still a huge challenge since the first systematic attempts on predicting allomorphy with machine learning techniques. The goals of this paper are to predict the allomorphic changes and to show the essential contribution of various morphological, phonological and semantic characteristics. Therefore, we use a MaxEnt model to identify the weights of these characteristics that are directly dependent on allomorphy and help design a predictive model. Our model is based on AMIS and its overall accuracy was 86.49%. To improve the system, we tried a more rational approach to achieve a better performance (the correct prediction was raised to 91.43%)
