Modern Greek Complementizers [Chr82] [Rou10]

[Rou19] [Ang26]

The four Modern Greek complementizers, as root Complementizer entries, and the matrix verbs that select them (with the attitude and stativity metadata [Ang26]'s data turns on).

[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.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.oti : Complementizer

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.

Equations

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.pu : Complementizer

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.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.an : Complementizer

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

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.na : Complementizer

na — subjunctive ([Gra24]); the na-selecting mood-choice verbs are in MoodChoice.lean. Whether na heads C or a Mood projection is debated; the schema is head-agnostic, and [Ang26] sets na aside.

Equations

• Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.na = { form := "na", position := some Morphology.FormativePosition.detached, noonanType := some NoonanCompType.subjunctive }

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.complementizers : List Complementizer

The complementizer inventory.

Matrix verbs selecting oti

Verbs of saying / belief / knowledge / understanding ([Ang26] ex. 1a, 3, 36).

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.leo : Verb

léo (λέω) 'say' — past tense ípe in [Ang26] ex. 1a. Speech-act verb, eventive (activity).

Equations

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.pistevo : Verb

pistévo (πιστεύω) 'believe' — doxastic, stative; the impersonal passive pistévetai oti is standard.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.ksero : Verb

kséro (ξέρω) 'know' (alongside gnorízo) — factive doxastic, stative. Rejects manner adverbs ([Ang26] ex. 21a).

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.katalaveno : Verb

katalavéno (καταλαβαίνω) 'understand' — eventive (allows manner adverbs in [Ang26] ex. 21b), factive doxastic.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.sinidhitopio : Verb

sinidhitopió (συνειδητοποιώ) 'realize' — eventive (achievement), factive doxastic ([Ang26] ex. 21b).

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.eksigo : Verb

eksigó (εξηγώ) 'explain' — accomplishment, takes oti yielding explanans reading ([Ang26] ex. 4a).

Equations

• Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.eksigo = { frames := [Frame.finiteClause], vendlerClass := some Features.VendlerClass.accomplishment, form := "eksigó" }

Matrix verbs selecting pu

Emotive-factive predicates, stative under [Ang26]'s §2.3 stativity restriction.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.metaniono : Verb

metanióno (μετανιώνω) 'regret' — preferential (negative valence), stative. [Ang26] ex. 1b, 20.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.areso : Verb

aréso (αρέσω) 'appeal to / be liked by' — Class III experiencer, stative ([Ang26] ex. 13, 14; [Lan10]).

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.xerome : Verb

xérome (χαίρομαι) 'be happy/glad' — preferential positive, stative.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

Verbs compatible with both oti and pu

Eventive with oti, stative with pu ([Ang26] ex. 19, 22–23, fn. 16). Both complements are finite indicative clauses, so the polysemy rides on sense-tagged entry pairs (SenseTag.stative, the suivreStat pattern) rather than frame-keyed Verb.readings rows.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.thimame : Verb

thimáme (θυμάμαι) 'remember' — eventive attitude sense ('recall, infer that'), the one available with oti ([Ang26] ex. 22, fn. 16); the stative direct-perception recollection sense is thimameStat.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.thimameStat : Verb

thimáme — stative direct-perception recollection sense ('remember him reading'), the one available with pu ([Ang26] fn. 16; [Rou10] ex. 17's strong presupposition).

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.thimono : Verb

thimóno (θυμώνω) 'get angry' — eventive (achievement) sense, the one available with oti; the stative sense is thimonoStat ([Ang26] ex. 19, 23).

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.thimonoStat : Verb

thimóno — stative 'be angry' sense, the one available with pu ([Ang26] ex. 19, 23).
