His research interests focus on the morphosyntax-phonology interface, with particular emphasis on the comparative study of grammatical structures and phenomena at a cross-linguistic level, especially in South-Eastern Mediterranean languages. His research spans various aspects of theoretical and comparative linguistics, including expressive suffixes, stem allomorphy, phonological constraints, and morphological evolution.

His recent publications (2016-2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on morphosyntax-phonology interface issues across languages, particularly examining expressive suffixes (in Russian, German, Spanish, and Greek), root allomorphy (in Greek), phonological constraints (sonority levels, nasals), morphological evolution (fusion to agglutination), and artificial language learning. The broader fields represented by his publications include theoretical linguistics, comparative linguistics, morphosyntax, phonology, psycholinguistics, and language technology.

Giorgos Markopoulos has been awarded scholarships from IKY (the State Scholarships Foundation) for his doctoral and post-doctoral research. While not explicitly listed in the bios, his involvement in international research projects and interinstitutional programs implies additional recognition and funding.

He has participated in international research projects such as Cross-Linguistic Artificial Grammar Learning, Vocalect, and Education of Immigrant and Repatriate Students. His research career has taken him beyond Greece as he has been a visiting scholar at University College London and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
