In particular, the borrowing of verbs is of interest due to the amount of information that is encoded on them in the form of morphological endings. One language that has a rich morphological system and yet seems to have no issues with borrowing is Romanian. Borrowed verbs in Romanian tend to take one of three suffixes during conjugation: -ez, -esc, or -uiesc. These suffixes hold no meaning, and yet seem to be obligatory. This shows some similarity to the claims of Ralli (2016) in her work on verbalizers in Greek; therefore, I use this comparison as a starting point for analysis. In this study, I look to investigate speakers’ perceptions of the use of these suffixes, as well as the function of these suffixes, through the use of a perception study aimed at speakers’ reactions to the use of each suffix on various loan verbs. I also compare the ways in which loan verbs are integrated into Romanian to those in which they are integrated in Greek. 2019 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1566071578699824 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1566071578699824 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
