Review article:Greek syntax: A principles and parameters perspective

The last decades have seen a particular growth of syntactic studies in Greek from different aspects within the principles and parameters framework. In this article we present an overview of the main areas of investigation. Reasons of space prevent us from an exhaustive presentation of all the issues examined in the literature. In what follows, we concentrate mainly on topics that have attracted a lot of attention in the more recent literature (see also the presentation in Theophanopoulou-Kontou 1994; Drachman et al. 1997; Alexiadou, Horrocks & Stavrou 1999).
