  • The Germanic Third Weak Class
    THE GERMANIC THIRD WEAK CLASS JAY H. JASANOFF Harvard University Germanic verbs of the 3rd weak class form presents characterized by an alternation between predesinential *ai (e.g. Go. 3sg. habai1» and *a (e.g. Ipl. habam). These verbs are usually compared with the 'e-verbs' of Italic and Balto­ Slavic, but no IE present built on the stative suffix *-e- will account phonologi­ cally for the form of the suffix in Germanic. Instead, it can be shown that the characteristic Germanic paradigm results from the 'activization' of an older middle paradigm in which a 3sg. in *-ai « IE *-oi; cf. Skt. duh~ 'milks') was further suffixed by the productive active ending *-Pi « IE *-ti). 1. The inflection of the third class of weak verbs (exemplified by the verb 'to have': Gothic haban, Old Norse hafa,! Old High German hab~, Old Saxon hebbian, Old English habban) presents one of the classic problems in the historical morphology of Germanic. Not only do the verbs of this class show peculiarities in all the older Germanic languages, but they differ remarkably in their conjugation from one language to another, so that it is not at all obvious how the Common Germanic paradigm should be reconstructed. Given this diversity of forms, we will do well to begin with a short review of the morphological facts themselves. The situation is simplest in Old High German. The entire conjugation of hab~n is athematic (to the extent that this term still has any meaning), and is based on the single stem hab~-: 1sg. hab~, 3sg. hab~t, 3pl.

  • From Very Early Germanic and Before Towards the “Old” Stages of the Germanic Languages
    F. Plank, Early Germanic 1 FROM VERY EARLY GERMANIC AND BEFORE TOWARDS THE “OLD” STAGES OF THE GERMANIC LANGUAGES 160,000+ years of human population history summarised, up to ca. 10,000 Before Now: Journey of Mankind: The Peopling of the World http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/journey/ The origin of Language and early languages – fascinating questions and challenges for geneticists, palaeontologists, archaeologists, physical and cultural anthropologists. Alas, this is not something historical linguists could do much/anything to shed light on. F. Plank, Early Germanic 2 No speech acts performed by early homines sapientes sapientes have come down to us to bear witness to their mental lexicons & grammars. From human fossils nothing can be inferred about the linguistic working of brains and little about the organs implicated in speech. Speech acts were given greater permanence through writing only much later: from around 3,200 BCE in Mesopotamia as well as in Egypt, from around 1,200 BCE in China, and from around 600 BCE in Mesoamerica. The technology for actually recording speech (and other) sounds was only invented in 1857. F. Plank, Early Germanic 3 What cannot be observed must be (rationally) hypothesised. The standard method in historical linguistics for rationally forming hypotheses about a past from which we have no direct evidence is the comparative method. Alas, the comparative method for the reconstruction of linguistic forms (lexical as well as grammatical) only reaches back some 8,000 years maximum, given the normal life expectancy and recognisability limits of forms and meanings. And it is questionable whether constructions can be rigorously reconstructed.

Nicht nur, dass sie immer wieder durch Ratschläge, aber auch kritisches Hinterfragen wertvolle Hinweise gaben, auch ihre moralische Unterstützung und Motivation waren ein ausschlaggebender Faktor. Auch will ich mich bedanken bei Frau Prof. Dr. Weth, Herrn Prof. Dr. Imo und dem Dozenten‐ Team der 'Ascona Summerschool RCMCL 2012', die mir mit ihrer konstruktiven Kritik und den vielen gemeinsamen Diskussionen viele hilfreiche Anregungen und Ratschläge gaben.

    F. Plank, Ways of Change 1 WAYS OF CHANGE //under construction// F. Plank, Ways of Change 2 “Languages constantly change” Locke, John. 1689. An essay concerning human understanding. London: Basset, Ch. 22: “Hence also we may see the reason, why languages constantly change, take up new and lay by old terms. Because change of customs and opinions bringing with it new combinations of ideas, which it is necessary frequently to think on and talk about, new names, to avoid long descriptions, are annexed to them; and so they become new species of complex modes. What a number of different ideas are by this means wrapped up in one short sound, and how much of our time and breath is thereby saved, any one will see, who will but take the pains to enumerate all the ideas that either REPRIEVE or APPEAL stand for; and instead of either of those names, use a periphrasis, to make any one understand their meaning.” “Language constantly changes” Stone, Alison. 2007. An introduction to feminist philosophy. Cambridge: Polity Press, p115: “Language constantly changes. Lacan infers that any encounyer with language is frustrating. Any words and phrases that one encounters promise to be meaningful, yet have no definite meaning. [...] As such, when any child enters language, it becomes gripped by a new force: desire, specifically the desire for meaning.” ... F. Plank, Ways of Change 3 But do they? Why should they? Given a speech community which is (i) none too large and (ii) reasonably homogeneous, (iii) with its members socially well interconnected, and (iv) which inhabits a circumscribed, coherent, none-too-big territory, and (v) largely keeps to itself, we might expect that its members – and especially its new members as they are acquiring the linguistic know-how that defines and delimits this speech community – have very similar linguistic experiences.

  • The Role of Conditional Entropy in Determining the Base for Leveling in Old High German Inflectional Paradigm JUNYU RUAN the Ohio State University [email protected]
    The role of conditional entropy in determining the base for leveling in Old High German inflectional paradigm JUNYU RUAN The Ohio State University [email protected] ABSTRACT In the development from Old High German (OHG) to Modern High German (NHG), analogical changes occurred in the inflectional paradigm, in that the older past singular stem and past plural stem are leveled to a single past stem in the later language. However, different bases for leveling are attested in different inflectional classes. This paper takes an information-theoretic approach to the explanation of the multi-directional leveling found in the history of German. We assume that speakers use the most informative cell in the paradigm as the base for deriving other forms in the paradigm, and when analogical changes happen in the language, other forms in the paradigm might be leveled to the base but the base form would not be affected by leveling. Under this assumption, we studied the inflectional paradigms of verbs collected from an OHG corpus, and measured informativeness of a cell by its conditional entropy in predicting other cells in the paradigm. Results show that, in classes where the conditional entropy analysis makes strong predictions, the predictions are consistent with the attested historical changes, though other factors could also play a role in determining the base in classes where no strong predictions can be made based on informativeness. KEYWORDS leveling, German, paradigm, predictiveness, analogy 79 RÉSUMÉ Des changements d’ordre flexionnel ont eu lieu dans l’évolution de le vieux haut allemand (VHA) vers le haut allemand moderne (HAM).
