Modern Greek Complementizers [Chr82] [Rou10] #
The four Modern Greek complementizers, as root Complementizer
entries. The matrix verbs that select them are in Verbs.lean.

[Ang26]-specific apparatus — the [n]-feature/light-noun
selection (§3.1), the content/situation typing, the attested selection
classes, and the stativity generalizations — lives in
Studies/Angelopoulos2026.lean as projections over these entries.
oti — indicative declarative complementizer ([Chr82],
[Rou10]); selected by verbs of saying / belief / knowledge.
Factivity of oti-clauses tracks the matrix verb (kséro vs
léo), so no lexical factive value is recorded.

Instances For
pu — factive complementizer ([Chr82], [Rou19]); selected by emotive factives, and by perception/memory verbs on direct-perception readings ([Ang26] fn. 16). Doubles as adverbial / relative / interrogative where ([Ang26] unifies the uses via a PLACE noun); the entry records the complement use.

Instances For
an — interrogative complementizer 'if' ([Rou10]); types embedded polar questions over indicative-inflected clauses, both selected (anarotjéme 'wonder') and, under matrix negation or question, unselected (dhen kséro an 'I don't know if').
Equations
- Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.an = { morphs := [Morphology.Morph.free "an"], coding := some Complement.Coding.indicative, types := Clause.Selection.only Clause.SentenceType.polar }
Instances For
na — subjunctive ([Gra24]), selected by volitional, intention and causative
verbs (Verbs.lean). Whether na heads C or a Mood projection is debated; the schema is
head-agnostic,
and [Ang26] sets na aside.
