  • Languages, DNA, Relationship and Contacts
    S. A. Burlak Institute of Oriental Studies, Moscow Languages, DNA, relationship and contacts In this paper, language contacts are classified according to their results that can be observed by means of historical and comparative linguistics. Various types of bilingual contacts and of language shift are discriminated; they differ in the way they affect vocabulary, grammar and phonetics. These differences are connected with the demographic situation; thus, looking at a language that underwent contact influence, one can say what type of contact could have produced such results. Such information about prehistoric communities can help to reconcile linguistic evidence with archaeological and genetic data in order to produce a more detailed picture of the history of peoples and their languages. Keywords: language relationship, language contacts, language shift. In the beginning of the 20th century, Gustaf Kossinna (Kossinna 1911) put forward the hy- pothesis that material culture correlates with language and ethnicity, which is now known to be wrong (see e.g., Kuz’menko 2011). Ethnic identity need not fully correlate with either lan- guage or with genetic features, although there are, indeed, numerous cases of such a coinci- dence. There have been numerous attempts to reconcile linguistic data with archeological and genetical evidence (see especially Blench & Spriggs 1997, 1998, 1999a, 199b): e.g., Yu. Kuz’menko in his recent book about early Germans considers Werner’s law in Proto-Germanic as one of the traces of contacts between ancient Germans and Finno-Ugrians, corresponding to archaeologically documented contacts between Neolithic cultures of Northern Europe and the Pit-Comb Ware culture and genetically documented peoples having Indo-European hap- logroup R1a and Uralic haplogroup N (Kuz’menko 2011).

  • Stress Chapter
    Word stress in the languages of the Caucasus1 Lena Borise 1. Introduction Languages of the Caucasus exhibit impressive diversity when it comes to word stress. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the stress systems in North-West Caucasian (henceforth NWC), Nakh-Dagestanian (ND), and Kartvelian languages, as well as the larger Indo-European (IE) languages of the area, Ossetic and (Eastern) Armenian. For most of these languages, stress facts have only been partially described and analyzed, which raises the question about whether the available data can be used in more theoretically-oriented studies; cf. de Lacy (2014). Instrumental studies are not numerous either. Therefore, the current chapter relies mainly on impressionistic observations, and reflects the state of the art in the study of stress in these languages: there are still more questions than answers. The hope is that the present summary of the existing research can serve as a starting point for future investigations. This chapter is structured as follows. Section 2 describes languages that have free stress placement – i.e., languages in which stress placement is not predicted by phonological or morphological factors. Section 3 describes languages with fixed stress. These categories are not mutually exclusive, however. The classification of stress systems is best thought of as a continuum, with fixed stress and free stress languages as the two extremes, and most languages falling in the space between them. Many languages with fixed stress allow for exceptions based on certain phonological and/or morphological factors, so that often no firm line can be drawn between, e.g., languages with fixed stress that contain numerous morphologically conditioned exceptions (cf.

  • Elevation As a Category of Grammar: Sanzhi Dargwa and Beyond Received May 11, 2018; Revised August 20, 2018
    Linguistic Typology 2019; 23(1): 59–106 Diana Forker Elevation as a category of grammar: Sanzhi Dargwa and beyond https://doi.org/10.1515/lingty-2019-0001 Received May 11, 2018; revised August 20, 2018 Abstract: Nakh-Daghestanian languages have encountered growing interest from typologists and linguists from other subdiscplines, and more and more languages from the Nakh-Daghestanian language family are being studied. This paper provides a grammatical overview of the hitherto undescribed Sanzhi Dargwa language, followed by a detailed analysis of the grammaticalized expression of spatial elevation in Sanzhi. Spatial elevation, a topic that has not received substantial attention in Caucasian linguistics, manifests itself across different parts of speech in Sanzhi Dargwa and related languages. In Sanzhi, elevation is a deictic category in partial opposition with participant- oriented deixis/horizontally-oriented directional deixis. This paper treats the spatial uses of demonstratives, spatial preverbs and spatial cases that express elevation as well as the semantic extension of this spatial category into other, non-spatial domains. It further compares the Sanzhi data to other Caucasian and non-Caucasian languages and makes suggestions for investigating elevation as a subcategory within a broader category of topographical deixis. Keywords: Sanzhi Dargwa, Nakh-Daghestanian languages, elevation, deixis, demonstratives, spatial cases, spatial preverbs 1 Introduction Interest in Nakh-Daghestanian languages in typology and in other linguistic subdisciplines has grown rapidly in recent years, with an active community of linguists from Russia and other countries. The goal of the present paper is to pour more oil into this fire and perhaps to entice new generations of scholars to join the throng.

  • National Minorities in South Caucasus
    Dr. Ahmad Shahidov Azerbaijan Institute for Democracy and Human Rights (AIDHR) www.aidhr.org [email protected] +99450 372 87 30 NATIONAL MINORITIES IN SOUTH CAUCASUS Today, Azerbaijan is distinguished with ethnic diversity. Besides Azerbaijani Turks, Mountain Jews, Tats, Talysh, Kurds, Molokans, Ingiloys, Tsakhurs, Avars, Lezgins, Khynalygs, Buduqlus, Grysz and other ethnic groups live in its territory. Although the representatives of ethnic groups consider themselves as Azerbaijanis but each group has retained distinctive elements of their different culture. This culture is reflected in domestic life, crafts, in kitchen and various ceremonies. Despite the difficulties being experienced by Azerbaijan, due to the unresolved armed conflict that continues more than a decade with neighboring Armenia, which occupies 20 percent of the Azerbaijani territory and the presence of about one million refugees and forcibly displaced persons - victims of ethnic cleansing organized by the Armenian armed forces and terrorist groups, among whom in addition to Azerbaijanis there are persons belonging to various minorities (Kurds, Russians, Jews and others), as well as problems connected with transitional period, the Government of Azerbaijan continues to pursue a consistent policy towards protection of minorities rights. 1 National minorities constitute 9.4 % of the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Here is a structural composition of population, languages and places of compact living of persons belonging to national minorities of the Republic of Azerbaijan: Lezgins - 178 thousand, compactly live in the Northern regions of Azerbaijan. Language of communication is Lezgins, relating to the Daghestan branch of the Caucasian languages, as well as Azerbaijani and Russian languages. Russians - 141,7 thousand, compactly live in the industrial cities, as well as a number of rural regions.

  • Linguistic Homoplasy and Phylogeny Reconstruction. the Cases of Lezgian and Tsezic Languages (North Caucasus)
    Alexei Kassian (Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences) [email protected], 21 October, 2014 Linguistic homoplasy and phylogeny reconstruction. The cases of Lezgian and Tsezic languages (North Caucasus) The paper deals with the problem of linguistic homoplasy (parallel or back developments), how it can be detected, what kinds of linguistic homoplasy can be distinguished and what kinds are more deleterious for language phylogeny reconstruction. It is proposed that language phylogeny reconstruction should consist of two main stages. Firstly, a consensus tree, based on high-quality input data elaborated with help of the main phylogenetic methods (such as NJ, Bayesian MCMC, MP), and ancestral character states are to be reconstructed that allow us to reveal a certain amount of homoplastic characters. Secondly, after these homoplastic characters are eliminated from the input matrix, the consensus tree is to be compiled again. It is expected that, after homoplastic optimization, individual problem clades can be better resolved and generally the homoplasy-optimized phylogeny should be more robust than the initially reconstructed tree. The proposed procedure is tested on the 110-item Swadesh wordlists of the Lezgian and Tsezic groups. Lezgian and Tsezic results generally support theoretical expectations. The Minimal lateral network method, currently implemented in the LingPy software, is a helpful tool for linguistic homoplasy detection. 1.

  • The Semantics of Evidentiality and Epistemic Modality in Avar
    Chapter 6 The Semantics of Evidentiality and Epistemic Modality in Avar Diana Forker 1 Introduction Avar (ISO 639–3 ava) is one of the larger Nakh-Daghestanian (East Caucasian) languages. The number of Avar speakers can be estimated at around 800,000.1 Traditionally, Avars live in the central and western parts of Daghestan, and there are also Avar communities in Georgia and in northern Azerbaijan. In the last 150 years many Avars have migrated to Turkey2 and to various parts of Russia. Avar can be roughly divided into a northern and a southern dialectal group. Literary Avar has been developed from an Avar koiné called bolmac’ (‘common language’, from bo ‘people, society, community’ + -l genitive case and mac’ ‘lan- guage’) used by speakers of northern varieties for interdialectal communica- tion. Avar also served as lingua franca for other Daghestanian ethnic groups such as Andic and Tsezic people and has left many traces in their languages. Avar is one of the 14 official languages of Daghestan. It is taught in schools; there are a number of newspapers and journals, radio and TV programs and nowadays many Internet sites (Wikipedia in Avar, two Avar corpora,3 Radio Free Europe in Avar,4 etc.). Important publications on the Avar language are, among others, Bokarev (1949), Saidov (1967), Charachidzé (1981), Alekseev & 1 According to the 2010 census, 844,513 people in the Russian Federation name Avar as their mother tongue, but only 831,488 say that they are ethnically Avar (http://www.gks.ru/free_ doc/new_site/perepis2010/croc/perepis_itogi1612.htm). The difference might be due to the fact that many speakers of Andic and Tsezic languages learn Avar as a subject called ‘mother tongue’ in school and therefore perhaps indicate Avar as their ‘mother tongue’ in the census.
