In Chapter\r\n 3, I discuss clitic doubling for which I put forward an alternative account\r\n involving feature copying that allows the same DP to occur in two positions in\r\n the structure at the same time. In this light, I further argue that clitic\r\n doubling is a parameterized version of A-movement. In Chapter 4, I deal with\r\n the properties of a range of constructions targeting the preverbal domain. I\r\n argue that the peculiar behaviour of CLLD is due to that it is the result of two\r\n operations, namely, A-movement in the form of clitic doubling and A-bar\r\n movement. I also show that non-focal LD is more productive than previously\r\n thought and that the construction involves mere A-bar movement.\r\n In the remaining two chapters I shift attention to issues related to the\r\n discourse-configurational nature of the language and information structure.\r\n After I discuss various models of integrating information structure into the\r\n minimalist grammar (Chapter 5), I argue that Information Structure can refer\r\n either to pragmatic articulations or more abstract logico-semantic strategies or\r\n both. Regarding the latter one, I show that Greek formally realizes via its word\r\n order two such strategies: a predicative and a non-predicative, the former surfacing as non-Verb initial orders and the latter one surfacing as verb-initial\r\n orders. In the second half of Chapter 6, I deal with the interpretive effects of\r\n doubling. In particular, I argue that doubling in Greek invariably marks a DP\r\n as a topic. I also show that non-focal left dislocated DPs in Greek are fronted\r\n ground material that serves as an anchor for the introduction of new\r\n information into the discourse.\r\n Chapter 7 summarizes the major contributions of the current thesis.","source_name":"Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).","source_issn":null,"volume":null,"issue":null,"first_page":null,"last_page":null,"language":"en","url":"https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317764/1/1317764.pdf","is_relevant":true,"thesis_level":null,"title_tr":"Modern Yunanca'da kelime sırasının düzenlenmesi: fiil başlangıç ve fiil dışı başlangıç düzenleri ve kavramsal-kasıtlı arayüz","license_code":"","license_url":null,"doi_status":"unknown","doi_last_checked":null,"merged_at":null,"lens_id":null,"patent_cited_by_count":null,"oa_colour":null,"created_at":"2026-04-23T13:46:46.183897+03:00","updated_at":"2026-05-13T21:39:51.642088+03:00","publisher":null,"merged_into":null}
