Verbes supports et intensité en grec moderne

This paper deals with support verbs acting as intensifiers in Greek, for instance υί αό αά, είοα ο οό, αίοα ο εοαίε. It is based on the assumption that the semantic nature of different classes of nominal predicates controls the presence of different kinds of intensifying support verbs and that support verbs intensify a different parameter when they actualize an action, a state or a fact. The theoretical model of classes of objects, the theory of Sense-Text and the model of cognitive metaphor will allow us to analyze our data.
