Abstract This article argues that with the original emphasis on dialectal variation, using primarily literary texts from various regions, analysis of Old French has routinely neglected social variation, providing an incomplete picture of its grammar. Accordingly, Old French has been identified as typically featuring e.g. “pro-drop”, brace constructions, and single negation. Yet examination of these features in informal texts, as opposed to the formal texts typically dealt with, demonstrates that these documents do not corroborate the picture of Old French that is commonly presented in the linguistic literature. Our reconstruction of Old French grammar therefore needs adjustment and further refinement, in particular by implementing sociolinguistic data. With a broader scope, the call for inclusion of sociolinguistic variation may resonate in the investigation of other early languages, resulting in the reassessment of the sources used, and reopening the debate about social variation in dead languages and its role in language evolution.
摘要本文认为,由于对古法语的分析最初侧重于方言变化,主要使用来自不同地区的文学文本,因此通常忽略了社会变化,对其语法的了解并不完整。因此,古法语被认为是典型的特征,例如“pro-drop”,支架结构和单一否定。然而,与通常处理的正式文本相反,对非正式文本中这些特征的研究表明,这些文件并不能证实语言学文献中通常呈现的古法语的形象。因此,我们对古法语语法的重建需要调整和进一步完善,特别是通过实施社会语言学的数据。在更广泛的范围内,对社会语言学变异的呼吁可能会在其他早期语言的研究中产生共鸣,从而重新评估所使用的来源,并重新讨论死亡语言中的社会变异及其在语言进化中的作用。

The diachrony of participles in the (pre)history of Greek and Hittite 希腊语和赫梯语(前)历史中分词的历时性

This article discusses two case studies of diachronic “voice flipping” in which the syntax of a participle appears to change from active or “subject-oriented” to passive (Ancient Greek -menos to Modern Greek -menos) and from resultative/stative to active (ProtoIndo-European *-nt-; Hittite -antvs. Ancient Greek -nt-). While the first type of change is the result of a diachronic reanalysis by which a functional projection (VoiceP) is lost, the second type in fact adds an active Voice head. Both changes are the result of the simultaneous availability of a stative and an eventive reading in deverbal adjectival forms and could belong to a larger “participle cycle”. However, unlike in other changes usually discussed under the label “cycle”, unidirectional economy principles do not apply in these cases. Rather, these cases provide evidence that some types of morphosyntactic change, especially those related to event and argument structure, are driven by reanalysis of the feature content of functional heads under local structural ambiguity.
本文讨论了历时性“变声”的两个案例研究,在这两个案例中,分词的语法似乎从主动或“以主体为导向”变为被动(古希腊语-menos到现代希腊语-minos),从结果/静态变为主动(原印欧语*-nt-;赫梯语-antvs.古希腊语-nt-)。虽然第一种类型的变化是历时重新分析的结果,通过这种分析,功能投影(VoiceP)丢失了,但第二种类型实际上增加了一个活跃的Voice头。这两种变化都是动词形容词形式的静态阅读和事件阅读同时可用的结果,可能属于更大的“分词循环”。然而,与通常在“周期”标签下讨论的其他变化不同,单向经济原则不适用于这些情况。相反,这些案例提供了证据,证明某些类型的形态句法变化,特别是与事件和论点结构有关的形态句法改变,是由局部结构歧义下功能头的特征内容的重新分析驱动的。

Abstract Sicoli & Holton (2014) (PLoS ONE 9:3, e91722) use computational phylogenetics to argue that linguistic data from the putative, but likely, Dene-Yeniseian macro-family are better compatible with a homeland in Beringia (i.e., northeastern Siberia plus northwestern Alaska) than with one in central Siberia or deeper Asia. I show that a more careful examination of the data invalidates this conclusion: in fact, linguistic data do not support Beringia as the homeland. In the course of showing this, I discuss, without requiring a deep mathematical background, a number of methodological issues concerning computational phylogenetic analyses of linguistic data and drawing inferences from them. The aim is to contribute to making computational phylogenetics less of a black box for historical linguists. I conclude with a brief overview of the current evidence bearing on the Dene-Yeniseian homeland from linguistics, archaeology, folklore studies and genetics, and suggest current best practice for linguistic phylogenetics, the use of which would have helped to avoid some of the problems in Sicoli and Holton’s Dene-Yeniseian study, and in turn the percolation of those problems into subsequent synthetic interdisciplinary research.
Sicoli & Holton (2014) (PLoS ONE 9:3, e91722)利用计算系统遗传学论证了来自假定的(但可能的)dene - yenisei宏观家族的语言数据与白令陆桥(即西伯利亚东北部加上阿拉斯加西北部)的家园比西伯利亚中部或亚洲更相容。我认为,对这些资料进行更仔细的检查,就会使这个结论无效:事实上,语言学资料并不支持白令陆桥是他们的故乡。在展示这一点的过程中,我讨论了一些关于语言数据的计算系统发育分析的方法问题,并从中得出推论,而不需要深厚的数学背景。其目的是使计算系统发育学对历史语言学家来说不再是一个黑盒子。最后,我从语言学、考古学、民俗学研究和遗传学方面简要概述了目前与Dene-Yeniseian家园有关的证据,并提出了当前语言系统发育学的最佳实践,这些实践将有助于避免Sicoli和Holton的Dene-Yeniseian研究中的一些问题,并反过来将这些问题渗透到随后的综合跨学科研究中。

Abstract Palenquero is a Spanish-lexified creole spoken in Columbia. We argue that existing hypotheses regarding its birth are problematic in several regards. This article addresses the inconsistencies in these hypotheses and provides an alternative, more coherent account. More precisely, we take issue with the following three claims: (a) Palenquero is the result of a two-language encounter; (b) it has its roots in a West African Afro-Portuguese proto-variety; (c) an ancestral form of the creole emerged in the port city of Cartagena. We then set out to present our own, more economical, formation scenario, according to which Palenquero was formed in the early 1600s in the linguistically heterogenous maroon communities of the Cartagenan hinterlands.
帕伦克罗语是哥伦比亚使用的一种西班牙化的克里奥尔语。我们认为,关于其诞生的现有假设在几个方面是有问题的。本文解决了这些假设的不一致之处,并提供了另一种更连贯的解释。更确切地说,我们对以下三种说法提出异议:(a)帕伦克罗语是两种语言相遇的结果;(b)它起源于西非非洲-葡萄牙原始品种;(c)克里奥尔人的祖先出现在港口城市卡塔赫纳。然后我们开始展示我们自己的,更经济的,形成的场景,根据帕伦克罗语形成于17世纪早期,在语言异质的卡塔赫纳腹地的栗色社区。

r-Epenthesis and the bigrade alternation r-Epenthesis与bigrade交替

Brent de Chene
For Japanese verbal suffixes sensitive to the C/V polarity of the stem-final segment, C-stem alternants are underlying, and regular V-stem alternants result from intervocalic epenthesis of r at stem boundary (de Chene 2016). This “Analysis A” entails that any V-stem suffix not consisting of r plus its C-stem counterpart is irregular and subject to replacement. While the r-Epenthesis rule of Analysis A is naturally understood as a generalization of the r-zero alternation of three suffixes that have shown it since the eighth century, however, the innovative r-initial suffixes of other categories do not appear until the eighteenth. This lag is illuminated by the dialects of Kyūshū, where adoption of Analysis A is blocked by the “bigrade” stem alternation, which in most dialects was leveled in the seventeenth century. Building on a discussion of leveling that treats that phenomenon as a subtype of regularization, it is proposed in explanation of this “bigrade blocking” effect that the order in which alternations become subject to regularization is constrained by the phonological distance between alternants. Investigation of the possibility that the bigrade alternation and Analysis A are related by a triggering effect as well as by a blocking effect, finally, leads to a new account of the adoption of Analysis A.
对于对词干末段C/V极性敏感的日语动词后缀,C词干交替是潜在的,而规则的V词干交替源于词干边界处r的发音间重聚(de Chene 2016)。这种“分析A”意味着任何不由r加上其对应的C形词干组成的V形词干后缀都是不规则的,可以替换。虽然分析A的r-Epenthesis规则自然被理解为自八世纪以来三个后缀的r-zero交替的推广,但其他类别的创新r-initial后缀直到十八世纪才出现。Kyúshú的方言说明了这一滞后性,在那里,分析A的采用被“bigrade”词干交替所阻碍,在大多数方言中,这种变化在17世纪被调平。在将这种现象视为正则化的一种亚型的水平化讨论的基础上,在解释这种“双等级阻塞”效应时,提出交替受到正则化的顺序受到交替之间的语音距离的约束。对双级交替和分析A通过触发效应和阻塞效应相关的可能性的调查,最终得出了采用分析A的新解释。

Anti-scope prefix order and zero-marked obliques 反作用域前缀顺序和零标记的斜线

Abstract A number of indigenous languages of northern Australia have complex systems of noun class prefixation incorporating the formal realization of case or topicality, as well as class. The markers of case and topicality occur inside the marking of class, in an unexpected position according to considerations of scope. In addition, where case is marked, zero marking is associated with oblique case roles while core roles are associated with substantive marking; again, an unexpected pattern given universals of case expression. We present evidence for the diachronic development of these noun class prefixation systems from an older system of demonstratives prefixed for class via a grammaticalization path: demonstrative > topic article > topic prefix. The class/topic prefixes then developed into class/case-marking prefixes through frequency correlations between topic, case, animacy and humanness. All stages in our reconstructed pathway are attested by extant languages.
摘要澳大利亚北部的许多土著语言都有复杂的名词类前缀系统,包括格或话题性以及类的形式实现。根据范围的考虑,事例和主题性的标记出现在类的标记内部,处于意外的位置。此外,在标记案例的情况下,零标记与倾斜案例角色相关,而核心角色与实质标记相关;同样,一个意外的模式给出了事例表达式的普遍性。我们为这些名词类前缀系统的历时发展提供了证据,这些系统是从一个旧的类前缀指示词系统通过语法化路径发展而来的:指示词>主题文章>主题前缀。然后,通过主题、事例、动物性和人性之间的频率相关性,类/主题前缀发展为类/事例标记前缀。我们重建道路上的所有阶段都被现存的语言所证明。

A study of the development of the Chinese correlative comparative construction from the perspective of constructionalization 建构主义视野下的中国关联比较建构发展研究

Abstract The paper addresses the emergence and development of the Chinese correlative comparative construction (CrCC) from the perspective of constructionalization. Most previous historical studies of the CrCC take a grammaticalization approach (e.g., Long 2013), focusing mainly on morphosyntax alone rather than investigating syntax and semantics in an integrated way. However, the architecture of construction grammar requires approaching linguistic analysis with both form and meaning equally in mind. This approach suggests that what have sometimes been considered to be merely different formal expressions of the CrCC are in fact two different constructions, one correlative, and the other a simple incremental. We identify the critical contexts (see Diewald & Smirnova 2010) that by hypothesis enabled the constructionalization of the CrCC, and point to the importance of considering network reorganization and multiple sources in the development of the simple incremental construction (see e.g., Boas 2008; Van de Velde et al. 2013).
本文从建构主义的角度论述了中国关联比较建构的产生和发展。以往对CrCC的大多数历史研究都采取了语法化的方法(例如,Long 2013),主要关注形态语法,而不是综合研究语法和语义。然而,建构语法的架构要求在进行语言分析时,要同时考虑形式和意义。这种方法表明,有时被认为只是CrCC的不同形式表达,实际上是两种不同的结构,一种是相关的,另一种是简单的增量。我们确定了关键背景(见Diewald&Smirnova,2010年),这些背景通过假设实现了CrCC的构建,并指出了在开发简单的增量构建中考虑网络重组和多个来源的重要性(例如,见Boas 2008;Van de Velde等人2013)。

Grammaticalization without Feature Economy 没有特征经济的语法化

Abstract The present paper is a corpus-based study of the Voice Cycle in Hungarian. Based on data from the Old Hungarian Corpus and the Hungarian Historical Corpus, I will argue that while in Old Hungarian, middle voice was encoded through a separate inflectional paradigm (contextual allomorphy in the subject agreement suffix conditional on the feature content of a silent Voice head), in Modern Hungarian, middle voice is encoded through dedicated middle voice suffixes (i.e., the Voice head is spelled out overtly). I will claim that the underlying grammaticalization process involved the reanalysis of frequentative suffixes (v heads) as middle voice suffixes (Voice heads). I will show that this reinterpretation was not based on shared abstract features, but rather, on a principled correlation between middle voice and frequentative aspect: since some types of middles (antipassives and dispositional middles) were more likely to be associated with a frequentative or habitual reading than actives, frequentative suffixes were susceptible to reanalysis as middle suffixes in the course of language acquisition. I will thus claim that in addition to Feature Economy (van Gelderen 2011), reinterpretation based on correlation between featurally independent grammatical markers should also be regarded as a mechanism of grammaticalization.
摘要本文是一篇基于语料库的匈牙利语语音循环研究。基于来自古匈牙利语语料库和匈牙利历史语料库的数据,我认为,在古匈牙利语中,中间声是通过一个单独的屈折范式编码的(主题一致后缀中的上下文变体取决于无声声头的特征内容),而在现代匈牙利语中,中间语音是通过专用的中间语音后缀编码的(即语音头是公开拼写的)。我将声称,潜在的语法化过程涉及到将经常性后缀(v头)重新分析为中间音后缀(音头)。我将表明,这种重新解释并不是基于共同的抽象特征,而是基于中间语态和经常性方面之间的原则性相关性:由于某些类型的中间词(反附带词和倾向性中间词)比主动词更有可能与经常性或习惯性阅读联系在一起,在语言习得过程中,频繁后缀作为中间后缀容易被重新分析。因此,我将声称,除了特征经济(van Gelderen,2011)之外,基于非自然独立语法标记之间相关性的重新解释也应被视为语法化的一种机制。

I will claim that the underlying grammaticalization process involved the reanalysis of frequentative suffixes (v heads) as middle voice suffixes (Voice heads). I will show that this reinterpretation was not based on shared abstract features, but rather, on a principled correlation between middle voice and frequentative aspect: since some types of middles (antipassives and dispositional middles) were more likely to be associated with a frequentative or habitual reading than actives, frequentative suffixes were susceptible to reanalysis as middle suffixes in the course of language acquisition. I will thus claim that in addition to Feature Economy (van Gelderen 2011), reinterpretation based on correlation between featurally independent grammatical markers should also be regarded as a mechanism of grammaticalization.","PeriodicalId":44637,"journal":{"name":"Diachronica","volume":"37 1","pages":"1-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44097808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This paper provides a diachronic construction-based explanation of the differential perfective marking conditioned by transitivity status in Western Mande languages, using the Greater Manding group as an exemplar case. This typologically unusual phenomenon has previously been erroneously cast in terms of case alignment, either synchronically (in terms of bidirectional case markers) or historically (in terms of an earlier split-ergative stage). The central insight of my explanation is that the Positive Perfective constructions of the Western Mande languages are multiple-source constructions. The in-depth reconstruction of these constructions presented in the paper provides a theoretically significant illustration of a pattern of repeated emergence of constructional competition in a particular semantic domain, which is subsequently resolved through constructional specialization and merger, resulting in multiple-source constructions and a typologically unusual pattern of differential TAM and polarity marking.
摘要本文以大曼丁群为例,对西方曼德语中以及物性状态为条件的差异完成标记进行了历时性建构式的解释。这种类型上不寻常的现象以前在格对齐方面被错误地投射,无论是同步的(双向格标记)还是历史上的(早期的分裂作格阶段)。我解释的核心观点是,西方曼德语的正完全结构是多源结构。本文对这些结构的深入重建,从理论上说明了在特定语义领域中结构竞争的反复出现模式,这种模式随后通过结构专业化和合并来解决,导致多个源结构和差分TAM和极性标记的类型异常模式。
