This volume includes studies dedicated to Irini Philippaki-Warburton, a professor of linguistics at the University of Reading in England, whose name is inextricably linked to the analysis of Modern Greek through contemporary theoretical models.
Her pioneering scientific and research work is a significant contribution to the evolution and further development of Noam Chomsky's Generative-Transformational theory. Her rich writing activity includes a significant number of articles and five books.
Works by students, friends, and close collaborators, the studies in this volume are a small token of appreciation and love for Irini Philippaki-Warburton for what she has contributed to science and Greek literature for over thirty years.
The articles cover a wide range of thematic research areas that Greek and Hellenistic scholars engage with, such as phonetics, syntax of Greek from a diachronic and synchronic perspective, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, teaching Greek as a foreign language, as well as a linguistic approach to literary texts.
This thematic variety, which reflects the multifaceted scientific interests of Irini Philippaki-Warburton, is a representative sample of contemporary trends in Greek linguistics.
