The aim of this article is to investigate a special case of suppletion in the paradigm of the negative imperative in some dialects of southern Calabria. First, we show how these paradigms involve the extension of an original infinitival desinence to a present indicative verb, giving rise to a hybrid imperatival form (Section ). Second, we claim that this pattern of suppletion does not represent a Romance-internal development but, rather, the outcome of contact-induced change and, in particular, the influence of the local Greek sub-/adstrate (Section ). Furthermore, we show that these hybrid patterns also provide significant evidence for the formal morphosyntactic equivalence between competing Greek finite and Romance non-finite forms of subordination, a typical Balkanism (Section ). Finally, we demonstrate that the extension of the Romance infinitival desinence according to an underlying Greek model yields in synchrony an alternation between a suppletive positive imperative and a true negative imperative, a typologically very rare formal opposition (Section ).

南卡拉布里亚的负面命令。Spirito Greco,又是 Materia Romanza?
本文的目的是研究卡拉布里亚南部某些方言中否定命令式范式中的一个特殊情况。首先,我们展示了这些范式如何涉及将原始不定式定义扩展到现在指示动词,从而产生混合命令式形式(第 3 节)。其次,我们声称这种补充模式并不代表罗曼史的内部发展,而是接触引起的变化的结果,特别是当地希腊子/adstrate 的影响(部分)。此外,我们表明,这些混合模式还为竞争的希腊有限和罗曼斯非有限从属形式之间的形式形态句法等价提供了重要证据,这是典型的巴尔干主义(部分)。最后,
