Гръцките съответствия на българското съставно сказуемо

The paper compares the Greek compound verbal predicate with that of Bulgarian. Similarities and dissimilarities are explained by showing common tendencies (and some peculiarities) in the evolution of the two languages, notably, the loss of the infinitive. We argue that the compound verbal predicates in the two languages are variants of the same deep structure and on the surface exemplify the dominance of finitude in the verbal system.
