Deixis and Temporal Subordinators in Pomak (Slavic, Greece)

Résumé

Deixis expressed by three definite articles is a well-known characteristic of the Pomak varieties, given the absence of grammaticalized definite markers in most Slavic languages. In this paper, we present a practically unknown use of deixis in Slavic languages, namely the use of deictic suffixes in the formation of temporal subordinate conjunctions in Pomak. The deictic suffixes in the temporal subordinator indicate the relation of the process to the situation of utterance, and the choice of the deictic suffix depends on the type of event encoded in the clause. The free temporal subordinator indicates absence of anchoring of the event to the speech time. This study is based on first-hand data of a practically undescribed Pomak variety spoken in Greece.
