On the Synchrony and Diachrony of Modern Greek NA*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2016
Extract
The Modern Greek particle ná has two main uses, as a subordinating particle and as a deictic particle. In this first use, it occurs with verbs in a variety of complement structures, as in (1), as well as with some apparent main-clause verbs, as in (2), that have special (i.e. non-declarative) illocutionary force, and may be derivable from underlying abstract complement structures:
