Abstract

Romeyka is an endangered Greek minority language spoken in north-eastern Turkey. Several hundred years of language contact with Turkish led to interesting morphosyntactic contact phenomena. Since we still lack a thorough grammatical description of the language, it is the aim of this thesis to provide a grammar of the language, under special consideration of language contact influences.
