Undesirability, negation, and/or responsibility. An intersubjective approach to constructions with μή in Ancient Greek

Research master thesis | Linguistics (research) (MA)

The aim of this thesis was to propose an account for the different uses of the Greek particle μή with an intersubjective approach (Verhagen 2005). The main finding is that the analyzed constructions (complement clauses, main clauses, conditional clauses) show family resemblances for 3 characteristics: expressing undesirability, negation and/or giving the addressee responsibility. The most prototypical constructions show all three characteristics, less prototypical constructions show less (cf. Geeraerts 1997).
