The research aims to analyze how concessive conditionals are encoded in Cappadocian Greek under the influence of Turkish.
Analyzed concessive conditionals in Cappadocian Greek using a dataset of 80 tokens from a 103,770-word corpus.
Distinguished three subtypes of concessive conditionals: scalar, alternative, and universal.
Investigated coding strategies and features resulting from contact-induced change.
Identified instances of matter and pattern replication in alternative and universal concessive conditionals.
Most universal concessive conditionals lacked nonspecificity marking, demonstrating a unique feature of Cappadocian Greek.
Provided insights into the impact of Turkish on the structure of concessive conditionals in Cappadocian Greek.

Bossuyt et al. (2026) studied this question.
