Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the borrowing of the Greek evaluative affixoid κοντο- in the Balkan languages. An understanding of Balkan loan forms with kondo- requires knowledge of the meanings, the limitations that apply to the selection of the second compound member, and the geographic distribution of the morpheme κοντο- in Greek. Given that this element has not been the subject of detailed study in Greek linguistic research, a brief diachronic and diatopic study of its presence in the Greek language is necessary. Αs a first step, a brief presentation of the theoretical framework is provided which addresses questions about the nature of affixoids and introduces basic concepts of evaluative morphology.
