In ancient Greek this is illustrated by nominal forms in the vocative or the exclamative nominative which, despite their clear morphological representation, express no relation to a syntactic head. Such a remark raises problems regarding the syntactic and morphological status of both forms and their relation to regular cases. In this paper, we re-examine both constructions and claim that their idiosyncratic character is explained by the different type of features involved in their syntactic definition. These are the Address Phrase and the feature of syntactic definiteness.

The idea is that the importance and the role of each feature in an agreement construction depend on its place in a markedness hierarchy. Thus, contextual features like case and number are predictable by non-native speakers due to their role in syntax and are ranked lower in the hierarchy. In contrast, inherent lexical features like gender are not easily predictable and are ranked higher. The hierarchy is built on morphological grounds as well as on external evidence like (a) the acquisition of each nominal feature in different periods by native speakers, and (b) the errors and learning strategies adopted by non-native speakers of Greek in producing agreement structures.

The complexity of the different marking and the lack of regularity in the distribution of its formation patterns across the inflections of AG raise further questions. In this paper we claim that the peculiarity of the vocative marking is due to the way that morphology captures its syntactic profile as a case expressing no thematic but pragmatic roles. This approach promotes the lack of a particular ending as the main vocative formation pattern and defines all others as side effects of the phonological operations and the accent assignment rules involved in the derivation of the inflectional forms of AG.

Theoretical models of analysis developed within the framework of the Structuralism and Generative Grammar focused on the semantic and syntactic dimension of case. At the same time, they discarded the traditional connection of the category to morphology and nominal inflection. Recent developments in the linguistic theory resulted in the re-introduction of morphology in the grammar of language as an autonomous level aiming at the definition of the relationship between the other grammatical levels such as syntax, lexicon and phonology. This development created the theoretical background for the study of case relations from a purely morphological viewpoint which approves the universal character of the category as defined by the generative theory. In this study we examine the character of case relations and morphological case through the analysis of the case system of Ancient Greek under the Lexeme Morpholog...

A typical case of this is the hiatus resolution phenomenon described by the so-called 'phonological' Law of Wackernagel (Dehnungsgesetz). In this paper we focus on the examination of these cases through the scope of the morphology–phonology interface. More specifically, it is argued that morphology may put limits to the phonological activity, when there is a strong reasoning for this. In our case this reasoning is the preservation of the compound internal structure via the preservation of the role and the status of the linking vowel, namely of the abstract formative element which marks the compound boundaries and connects its parts. This approach leads to a reconsideration of the law as a morphological readjustment rule rather than as an unexceptional phonological process.

A typical instance of this asymmetry is illustrated cross-linguistically by case attraction in the free relative clauses. More specifically, structures expressing agreement of the head and the relative pronoun in number and gender but not in case coexist with structures expressing also case agreement but without any syntactic justification. In this paper we examine case attraction in ancient Greek as an instance of the syntax – morphology interface. We claim that it is primarily a
morphological phenomenon due to the special way by which morphology interprets syntactic information under certain conditions, such as those defined by an established case feature hierarchy.

More specifically our aim is to study: (a) the extent to which morphology may set the accent position of the nominal forms; and (b) the role of the nominal accent to the definition of morphological categories like the inflectional class. More specifically, we argue that the nominal accent is defined by reference to a number of abstract Accent Patterns which are organized on the inherent accentual information of the lexical bases and controlled by morphological factors such as the structural oppositions between the strong and weak cases. Any violation of these patterns is due to the morphology–phonology interface. On the other hand, their strict relation to the lexical bases opens the way for their use as tools for the definition of the inflectional classes.
