De invloed van het Frans op het Nieuwgrieks
- Miet Tiebout
Abstract
This article treats the influence of French on Modern Greek. Initially it discusses the cultural, social and historical context of loanwords. Then it passes on to the theoretical frame of borrowing and makes the distinction between loanwords, loanblends and loanshifts. The category of loanshifts is further divided into morphological and semantical loanshifts. Every term is illustrated with examples of French loanwords in Modern Greek. The article also contains a detailed analysis of both a morphological and a semantic loanshift in Modern Greek in order to illustrate this particular process of borrowing.
