The paper discusses the relation between conversion and inflectional class of the output in Modern Greek within a Construction Morphology framework. Denominal conversion in Modern Greek offers intriguing data for the relevant discussion which are rather unknown hitherto. It is argued that conversion is not related to the default inflectional class of the output verb, but rather with an inflectional class which uniquely characterizes this type of formations. The schematic representation can account for the formal and semantic properties of both the input and the output, among which the inflectional properties of the output is the most significant one.
