Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the function and the features represented in theme vowels (TVs) in Modern Greek (MG). It is argued that TVs represent morphological (class) and aspectual features. It is also claimed that TVs trigger morphological processes resulting in the formation of stems in MG. The evidence presented shows that word formation is a complex process involving the obligatory interaction of syntax as well as morphology, contra the purely syntactic approaches (Baker 1985, Rivero 1990), and the morphological ones (Di Sciullo and Williams 1987, Joseph and Smirniotopoulos 1993).
