Abstract

This thesis describes the variety of Pomak spoken in the Greek village of Paševik, where the term Pomak is used to refer to the south Slavonic dialects spoken in the region of Greek Thrace. The data were collected during fieldwork in the area between 2005 and 2010 with the help of language informants and by observing spontaneous speech in a variety of settings. To date no comprehensive grammar of this variety has been produced. The introduction contains short descriptions of Paševik, its inhabitants and language use within the community. In addition, four Pomak grammars based on other varieties of Pomak are described briefly and evaluated (Papadēmētriou et al 1996; Kokkas 2004; Theoxaridēs 1996; Panagiōtidēs 1997). Chapter two deals with the phonology of Paševik Pomak, chapters three to ten deal with the morphology and chapter eleven covers various parts of the syntax. Some features of Paševik Pomak are contrasted and compared with standard Bulgarian and with the other varieties of Pomak described in the above grammars, particularly in the chapters dealing with nominal morphology. The final chapter contains the narrated text of a folk tale which has been glossed, translated, and provided with commentary.
