Ontological Modeling of Lists for Modern Greek Derivation

In the present article, we explore ontological models about lists in order to test them towards a Modern Greek (MG) morphological test-bed. The research topic has been aroused because of the lack of coverage in the current morpho-ontological models and because a suitable list model would considerably facilitate morph behaviour and productivity, word-list complexity or contrastive derivational analysis. After defining a suitable morphological framework, two MG lexical instances are represented by each one of the explored list models, where applicable, to evaluate their suitability. Among the models, we stress the profound design of those like OLO and CO but, on the other hand, their incapability of representing our MG -X, 0, X modeling pattern. To deal with this, we propose a new MG ontological model, based on the CO, incorporating this characteristic.
