CONCLUSION
First extract (p. 177) of PhD in linguistics, titled’ ‘The Verb of the Aromanian (language)’, by Antonis Bousboukis, Athens, 1982.
[…The Aromanian verb was strongly influenced by the Greek verb in many morphological elements, as seen in the second part. The most powerful effect, however, is observed at the semantic-syntactic level of the verb. This is an eloquent testimony that Aromanian/Vlach was profoundly ingrained by the Greek way of thinking. Thus, the semantic-syntactic functions of the all tenses remind (us) of the corresponding uses of the Greek verb. Simple Past (tense), for example, is so often used that it substitutes Present Perfect (tense) in many cases. This reminds (us) of its corresponding use in Greek language (p.75), while the Romanian language and the other Romance languages use Present Perfect more frequently. Besides, the statement of a future act by Simple Present (p.62) instead of Simple Future is much rarer in Aromanian, as it is in Greek, unlike the other Romance languages.
The mood of the Aromanian verb bears even stronger the stamp of Greek influence. The frequent use of the Subjunctive (mood), for example, which substituted the Infinitive (form of a verb), is result of the influence of the Greek verb (p.85). On the other hand, other Romance languages, as well as the Romanian (one), in part, preserve the use of the Infinitive. The statement of probability and possibility even with the Indicative (mood) instead of the usual Subjunctive (p.86-87) is also a result of Greek influence…]
CONCLUSION
Second extract (p. 183) of PhD in linguistics, titled’ ‘The Verb of the Aromanian (language)’, by Antonis Bousboukis, Athens, 1982.
[… Latin elements of the Aromanian concerning terms of agricultural and pastoral life (103), which do not appear in the Romanian, recommend a further indication of the formation of the Aromanian, parallel and-geographically-independent of the Romanian.
Katsanis (104) also finds matches of the Aromanian with the Tsakonian (Greek dialect), matches that ‘are phonetic, morphological and lexical. The first (phonetic) are the most frequent, while morphological and lexical ones are not that much’.
The same researcher assumes that ‘these language idioms must continue and preserve older linguistic elements, common once in the Greek world’.
All the above, along with the archaic lexical loans of the Aromanian, borrowed by the Greek (105), converge to the ascertainment that the Aromanian consists an independent branch of the Romance language in the Balkans…].
