This paper suggests a method for helping students find the perfective stem of active verbs in Modern Greek, given their imperfective stem. This method consists of teaching the stu- dents a few phonological rules, whose relevance extends well beyond the grammatical point at hand. With respect to easing the students’ task in learning the perfective stem of some super- ficially irregular verbs, the paper suggests that teachers famil- iarize their students with the ccunderlyingyy imperfective stem of such verbs, as well as with related lexical items that carry the phonological information which is absent from the surface form of the imperfective stem, but which must be posited for the under- lying form of that stem. On the whole, the paper advocates that teachers should not shy from conveying to their student linguis- tic information which “explains” some of the processes which language-learners have to learn in order to manipulate a new language, provided that such informationis given in terms which the students can understand.
