Ondertitel:Lexicographical observations on Apostolos Pavlidis’ narrative 'Τα μέτερ’ τα βάσανα κανείνα με ηύρεν σ’ ούλο τον κόσμο'
My contribution presents a lexicographical analysis of one of the most dramatic and harrowing narratives written by Apostolos Pavlidis from the Cretan village Axos Mylotopotamou, one of the last native speakers of Axenítika, a Central Cappadocian dialect closely related to Mišótika. As the author himself acknowledges in his second contribution to this volume, the Cretan variety of Axenítika has suffered considerable influence from both the local variety of Cretan Greek and the Modern Greek varieties taught in the schools since the resettlement of the refugees from Cappadocioan Axos in the 1920s. The main part consists of a glossary which includes all the words which somehow deviate from the Standard Modern Greek lexicon. The majority of these belong to the Axenítika lexicon as described by Mavrochalyvidis and Kesisoglou (1960), Mavrochalyvidis (1990) and earlier by Dawkins (1916). Several words exhibit interesting interference from Cretan Greek or Standard Modern Greek. Such interference manifests itself sometimes in the phonetic shape of the words, e.g. τάλασσα [tálasa] or [thálasa] instead of dενgίζ’ [deŋgíz] or [dæŋgíz], sometimes in their inflection, e.g. κειόσον [cóson] / κειόσαν [cósan] / κεɩότονμαστε [cótonmaste] instead of κειότον [cóton] / κειόταν [cótan] / κεɩότονμεστε [cótonmeste], sometimes in their meaning, e.g. dɩ̯αβάζω [dʝavázo] instead of ψαλλίσκω [psalíʃko] in the sense of Standard Modern Greek διαβάζω “read”. Examples of Cretan interference are γύρου [ʝíru] instead of γύρω [ʝíro] and σαφί [safí] instead of σάμπως [sámbos]. The narratives written by Apostolos Pavlidis thus constitue an invaluable addition to our corpus of written Axenítika and a treasure trove for anyone interested in Cappadocian linguistics and dialectology
