Abstract

The article focuses on the investigation of the function and distribution of certain complementation markers in Early Modern Greek. The quantitative analysis of these phenomena can indicate patterns of complement markers usage which are determined by factors such as dialectic or stylistic variation. Moreover, it is emphasized that thorough investigation within a larger corpus is decisive for the study of morphosyntactic change since this reveals minor cases of phenomena which may otherwise remain unnoticed, although they may be important to better comprehend how structures emerge, get established or become obsolete in the diachrony of a given language.
