The present article takes a quantitative approach to investigating contact-induced change, using typological parameters established for the purposes of cross-linguistic comparison. Specifically, it examines the likelihood that a socio-politically dominant language, Greek (Indo-European), influenced the morphological structure of a socio-politically subordinate indigenous language, Coptic (Afroasiatic). Based on the high prefixing score of Coptic and the much lower prefixing score of Greek, it is concluded that it is highly unlikely that Greek had any significant or direct influence on the strong prefixing preference of Coptic.

希腊语是否影响了科普特人对前缀的偏好？数量类型学观点

本文采用定量方法来研究接触引起的变化，使用为跨语言比较目的而建立的类型学参数。具体来说，它考察了一种社会政治主导语言希腊语（印欧语系）影响社会政治上从属的土著语言科普特语（亚非语系）的形态结构的可能性。基于科普特语的高前缀分数和希腊语的低得多的前缀分数，可以得出结论，希腊语不太可能对科普特语的强烈前缀偏好有任何显着或直接的影响。
