Relationships between universally recognized language families represent a hotly debated topic in historical linguistics, and the same is true for correlation between signals of genetic and linguistic relatedness. We developed a weighted permutation test which represents the classical permutation tests with weights introduced for individual Swadesh concepts according to their typological stability. Further, the obtained values were calibrated on a negative control group to override non-uniform distribution of phonemes within the Swadesh wordlist. We applied the calibrated permutation test to the basic vocabularies of nine languages and reconstructed proto-languages to show that three groups of circumpolar language families in the Northern Hemisphere show evidence of relationship through common descent or borrowing in the basic vocabulary: [Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Nivkh]; [Yukaghir, Samoyedic]; and [Yeniseian, Na-Dene, Burushaski]. The former two pairs showed the most significant signals of language relationship. Our findings further support some hypotheses on long-distance language relationships previously put forward based on linguistic methods but lacking universal acceptance.
普遍公认的语系之间的关系是历史语言学中的一个热门话题,遗传和语言亲缘关系信号之间的相关性也是如此。我们开发了一种加权置换检验法,它代表了经典的置换检验法,并根据各个 Swadesh 概念在类型学上的稳定性引入了权重。此外,我们还在一个阴性对照组上对所获得的值进行了校准,以克服 Swadesh 词表中音素分布不均匀的问题。我们对九种语言的基本词汇和重建的原初语言进行了校准排列检验,结果表明北半球的三组环极语系在基本词汇方面显示出共同后裔或借用关系:[楚科奇-堪察加半岛语系,尼夫赫语];[尤卡吉尔语系,萨摩耶德语系];以及[叶尼塞语系,纳-德纳语系,布鲁沙斯基语系]。前两对语言显示出最显著的语言关系信号。我们的研究结果进一步支持了以前根据语言学方法提出的一些关于远距离语言关系的假说,但这些假说尚未得到普遍接受。

Abstract This paper deals with lexico-semantic stability, specifically in the anatomical domain. The main goal is to develop a method for measuring semantic polysemy and shift, in order to address: (1) the validity of standardized vocabulary lists (e.g., Swadesh 1950 , 1952 , 1955 ; Holman et al. 2008 ; Haspelmath & Tadmor 2009a , 2009b ) for investigating cross-linguistic stability; and (2) the difference between basic and stable vocabulary ( Ratliff 2006 ; Matisoff 2009 ), and its implications for studying remote relationships between language families, on the one hand, and subgroup differentiation within language families, on the other. To study these problems, a total of 50 etyma from the anatomical domain were selected from the Preliminary Etymological Mayan Database ( Kaufman with Justeson 2003 ), and these were then classified employing the novel metric, and further analyzed by means of statistical methods. The results point to: (1) no specific correlation with the stability rankings of the Swadesh and Leipzig-Jakarta lists; (2) support for the “basicness” of etyma from the anatomical domain; (3) several significant relationships between stability and polysemy scores and independent variables relevant to the anatomical domain; (4) evidence of lexico-semantic stability score affinities between Mayan subgroups; and (5) evidence supporting the utility of polysemies to investigate subgrouping and language contact. The paper also offers conclusions and areas for further research.
摘要:本文讨论了词汇语义稳定性,特别是在解剖学领域。主要目标是开发一种测量语义多义和语义移位的方法,以解决:(1)标准化词汇表的有效性(例如,Swadesh 1950, 1952, 1955;Holman et al. 2008;Haspelmath,Tadmor 2009a, 2009b)研究跨语言稳定性;(2)基本词汇和稳定词汇的区别(Ratliff 2006;Matisoff 2009),以及它对研究语系之间的远程关系和语系内部的亚群分化的影响。为了研究这些问题,我们从初步的玛雅语源学数据库(Kaufman and Justeson 2003)中选取了50个解剖学域的词源学词汇,并采用新度量对其进行分类,并通过统计方法进行进一步分析。结果表明:(1)与Swadesh和Leipzig-Jakarta列表的稳定性排名没有特定的相关性;(2)从解剖学角度支持鼻窦的“基本性”;(3)稳定性和多义性得分与解剖域相关的自变量之间存在显著的关系;(4)玛雅语族间词汇语义稳定性评分亲和力的证据;(5)支持多义词在研究亚群和语言接触方面的作用的证据。本文还提出了结论和有待进一步研究的领域。

Balancing social determinism vs. sound change 平衡社会决定论与声音变化

Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between social and phonetic motivations for language change in Fang (Bantoid). While previous research has proposed that innovations in Fang arose due to social need and lack phonetic motivation ( Mve et al. 2019 ; Good, Di Carlo & Tschonghongei 2020 ), I propose that there is a phonetic motivation and the social situation, at best, was a pathway for the innovation to gain wider adoption in the population. I provide comparative and language-internal evidence that the Fang innovations are driven by two interconnected processes, palatalization and spirantization, triggered by high vowels. These processes have been obscured synchronically in part due to the phonemic merger of *i > ə in some parts of the paradigm, thus making the alternations look phonetically unmotivated.
摘要本文探讨了班托伊语语言变化的社会动机和语音动机之间的关系。虽然之前的研究表明,方语的创新是由于社会需求和缺乏语音动机而产生的(Mve等人,2019;很好,迪卡洛。tschonghonggei 2020),我认为存在语音动机和社会情况,充其量是创新在人群中获得更广泛采用的途径。我提供了比较和语言内部的证据,证明方语的创新是由两个相互关联的过程驱动的,腭化和螺旋化,由高元音触发。由于*i >的音位合并,这些过程被同步地掩盖了。在范例的某些部分,从而使这些变化在语音上看起来没有动机。

Wanderwords are a very common phenomenon among the languages of the world, but they are rarely discussed in detail. Their paths of spreading are often considered hardly reconstructible and their origins beyond reach, and being non-inherited, they are often ignored by the linguists working on the history of the languages involved. The present article questions both these tendencies, as it aims at exploring, as far as possible, the origins and interconnections of a series of related words referring to “apples”, “plums”, and other fruits attested in various languages and language families of the Near East. The article has two goals. First, to try to reconstruct the borrowing chains and general spread of these terms, thus going as close as possible to their putative origin. Second, to provide a test case and an illustration of a general methodological framework that can be used to study the history of such wanderwords.
漫游语是世界语言中一个非常普遍的现象,但很少有人对其进行详细的讨论。它们的传播路径通常被认为是难以重建的,它们的起源也遥不可及,而且它们是不可遗传的,因此经常被研究相关语言历史的语言学家所忽视。本文对这两种趋势都提出了质疑,因为它的目的是尽可能地探索一系列相关词汇的起源和相互联系,这些词汇指的是“苹果”、“李子”和近东各种语言和语系中证实的其他水果。这篇文章有两个目的。首先,试图重建这些术语的借用链和一般传播,从而尽可能接近其假定的起源。其次,提供一个测试案例和一个通用的方法框架的说明,可以用来研究这些流浪词的历史。

This article gathers a motivated inventory of Old English self-manipulative verbs, including Abstain verbs and Refrain verbs, analyses their semantics and syntax and offers diachronic perspectives on the replacement of that-clause complementation with the from + -ing construction. Such perspectives go in two directions. Firstly, the semantics of the that-clause remains intact throughout the change to the from + -ing construction. Secondly, deverbal nominalisations contribute to the semantics and syntax required by the gerund. The main conclusion is that Refrain verbs are exceptional because the competition leading to the Complement Shift does not hold between finite and non-finite clauses, but between finite clauses and deverbal nominalisations. This has two important consequences: the status of derived nominal linked predications must be acknowledged, and deverbal nominalisations must occupy the top of the syntactic ranking of clause linkage.
本文收集了古英语自我操纵动词的动机清单,包括Absain动词和Refrain动词,分析了它们的语义和句法,并从历时的角度提出了用from+ing结构取代从句互补的观点。这种观点有两个方向。首先,该子句的语义在从+ing结构的整个更改过程中保持不变。其次,动名词化有助于动名词所需的语义和句法。主要结论是,屈词动词是例外的,因为导致补语移位的竞争不存在于有限从句和非有限从句之间,而是存在于有限子句和非限定名词之间。这有两个重要的后果:派生名词连接谓词的地位必须得到承认,而派生名词化必须占据从句连接的句法排名的首位。

The paper studies the development of several properties of the reflexive enclitic sě/se dependent on a finite verb in the Czech language. We focus on the word order position of the reflexive and on the influence which the length of the initial phrase has on the position. We also investigate the shift of the reflexive from an enclitic into a prosodically indifferent clitic. Nine Czech translations of the Gospel of Matthew from the 14th to the 21st century are used as language material.

Individual variation and frequency change in Early Modern Spanish 早期现代西班牙语的个体差异和频率变化

Based on a corpus of private correspondence written by twelve influential political and cultural figures in eighteenth-century Spain, this article discusses several hypotheses about the role of individual variation in language change. The study analyses five variables undergoing change in early modern Spanish and examines the idiolectal use of the traditional variants. Several conclusions are drawn from the results. The first is that idiolectal patterns vary considerably from one variable to another. Those variants that were clearly in the majority at the time or have undergone slower change processes are more consistent with in-between profiles. On the other hand, those variants that are more clearly declining or undergoing abrupt changes are represented by more refractory patterns. Still, these profiles are not uniform, so a specific type of variation in one variant does not exclude others. The results concerning the most decisive period in the configuration of the idiolectal distributions are less conclusive, mainly due to the imbalances in the representativeness of the samples. However, among the variables better represented in the corpus, the end of adolescence – set at 18 in this study – seems to be the most significant, in line with some well-known hypotheses in the literature. Nevertheless, we have also detected a few cases of changes in adulthood. Finally, the data support the dominance of stability in syntactic variation, suggesting that speakers change little once their idiolectal distributions have been established. Even so, some longitudinal changes are found, albeit in a recurrent direction: the replacement of traditional forms by alternative, more prestigious variants.
本文以十八世纪西班牙十二位有影响力的政治和文化人物的私人信件为基础,讨论了关于个体变异在语言变化中的作用的几个假设。该研究分析了现代早期西班牙语中发生变化的五个变量,并考察了传统变体的具体用法。从结果中可以得出几个结论。第一个是,不同的变量的具体选择模式差异很大。那些在当时明显占多数或经历了较慢变化过程的变体与中间配置文件更为一致。另一方面,那些更明显下降或发生突变的变体由更难处理的模式表示。尽管如此,这些轮廓并不一致,因此一种变体中的特定类型的变体并不排除其他变体。关于具体分布配置中最具决定性的时期的结果不太确定,主要是由于样本代表性的不平衡。然而,在语料库中更好地表达的变量中,青春期结束——在本研究中设定为18岁——似乎是最重要的,这与文献中一些著名的假设一致。尽管如此,我们也发现了一些成年期的变化。最后,这些数据支持了句法变异中稳定性的主导地位,表明一旦确定了说话者的具体分布,他们的变化就很小。即便如此,还是发现了一些纵向变化,尽管是朝着一个反复出现的方向:用替代的、更有声望的变体取代传统形式。

Finally, the data support\u0000 the dominance of stability in syntactic variation, suggesting that speakers change little once their idiolectal distributions have\u0000 been established. Even so, some longitudinal changes are found, albeit in a recurrent direction: the replacement of traditional\u0000 forms by alternative, more prestigious variants.","PeriodicalId":42165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Linguistics","volume":"1347 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41278958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides highly grammaticalized analytic verb forms that constitute the system’s main tense, aspect, and mood forms, Basque has a handful of less grammaticalized periphrases for secondary aspectual and modal meanings. In both older and more recent texts, some of these periphrases have been reanalyzed as monoclausal and readjusted in accordance with the auxiliated verb’s argument structure. This readjustment or actualization process involves changes in two respects: case-marking and indexation through auxiliary change. The reanalysis and actualization of theses periphrases seem to be driven by analogy with highly extended and frequent analytic verb forms. With regard to their actualization, it seems to depend on three factors: word order, valency of the auxiliated verb, and plural patient agreement.
除了构成系统主要时态、体和语气形式的语法化程度较高的分析动词形式外,巴斯克语还有一些语法化程度较低的次要体和语气含义的外围词。在较老的和较新的文本中,这些旁系词中的一些被重新分析为单音变调,并根据辅助动词的论点结构进行了调整。这种调整或实施过程涉及两个方面的变化:案例标记和通过辅助变化的指数化。这些边缘的重新分析和实现似乎是由高度扩展和频繁的分析动词形式的类比驱动的。关于它们的实现,似乎取决于三个因素:语序、辅助动词的配价和复数耐心一致。
