Historical Linguistics 2005: Selected Papers from the 17th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Madison, Wisconsin, 31 July-5 August 2005This volume contains 22 revised papers originally presented at the 17th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, held August 2005 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. The papers cover a broad range of languages, including well-studied languages of Europe but also Aramaic, Zoque and Uto-Aztecan, Japanese and Korean, Afrikaans, and the Pilbara languages of Australia. The theoretical approaches taken are equally diverse, often bringing together aspects of 'formal' and 'functional' theories in a single contribution. Many of the chapters provide fresh data, including several drawing on data from electronic corpora. Topics range from traditional comparative reconstruction to prosodic change and the role of processing in syntactic change. |

Page 33 - Grammaticalization can be interpreted as the result of a process which has problem-solving as its main goal, its primary function being conceptualization by expressing one thing in terms of another. This function is not confined to grammaticalization, it is the main characteristic of metaphor in general. Matisoff joins Heine et al. in placing grammaticalization under the umbrella of metaphor. He writes (1991:384, emphasis...

Page 296 - N. uapali"planche," we mus suppose that final i of *ypin'i- was syncopated and that -n'-, not being able to stand at the end of a word, could maintain itself only when followed by a stopped consonant, in other words, lingered on as a nasalizing peculiarity of the stem. There is no doubt, from comparative evidence, that there are several cases in Southern Paiute (and other Shoshonean dialects) of nasalized consonants resulting from the syncope of a vowel between an original nasal (m, n, or r/) and...
Page 4 - ... the phenomenon that a complex lexeme once coined tends to become a single complete lexical unit, a simple lexeme. Through this process it loses the character of a syntagma to a greater or lesser degree
Page 3 - The phenomenon of grammaticalization can be circumscribed as:'. . . the process whereby lexical items and constructions come in certain linguistic contexts to serve grammatical functions, and, once grammaticalized, continue to develop new grammatical functions' (Hopper and Traugott 1993: xv).
Page 326 - Africans would say ['piiper], not ['piper] for "pepper", and the like: Consentius, Ars de barbarismis et metaplasmis (Keil V 392): ut quidam dicunt piper producta priore syllaba, cum sit brevis, quod vitium Afrorum familiare est (= [piiper]).
Page 297 - These three causes, then - assimilation to nasal of stem, syncope of vowel following nasal, and reduplication - may, in the present state of our knowledge, be advanced as responsible for the presence in Shoshonean of nasalized stops. They are clearly not, any more than the spirantal developments of stopped consonants, to be attributed to original Uto-Aztekan. (1915: 106, emphasis added) Using principally evidence from Numic languages, Whorf (1935:602-603) reconstructs final features for pUA. Voegelin,...
