摘要:This study investigated the performance of native and non native speakers of Modern
Greek language on morphology and syntax tasks. Non-native speakers of Greek
whose native language was English, which is a language with strict word order and
simple morphology, made more errors and answered more slowly than native
speakers on morphology but not syntax tasks. It seems that Greek free word order is
not a problem for non-native speakers who come from a country where the language
spoken has strict word order. However, complex morphology of Modern Greek, such
as plural markers, causes difficulties to non-native speakers whose native language
has simple morphology.
