  • CHAPTER SEVENTEEN History of the German Language 1 Indo
    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN History of the German Language 1 Indo-European and Germanic Background Indo-European Background It has already been mentioned in this course that German and English are related languages. Two languages can be related to each other in much the same way that two people can be related to each other. If two people share a common ancestor, say their mother or their great-grandfather, then they are genetically related. Similarly, German and English are genetically related because they share a common ancestor, a language which was spoken in what is now northern Germany sometime before the Angles and the Saxons migrated to England. We do not have written records of this language, unfortunately, but we have a good idea of what it must have looked and sounded like. We have arrived at our conclusions as to what it looked and sounded like by comparing the sounds of words and morphemes in earlier written stages of English and German (and Dutch) and in modern-day English and German dialects. As a result of the comparisons we are able to reconstruct what the original language, called a proto-language, must have been like. This particular proto-language is usually referred to as Proto-West Germanic. The method of reconstruction based on comparison is called the comparative method. If faced with two languages the comparative method can tell us one of three things: 1) the two languages are related in that both are descended from a common ancestor, e.g. German and English, 2) the two are related in that one is the ancestor of the other, e.g.

Abstract The History of Predicative Possession in Slavic: Internal Development vs. Language Contact by Julia McAnallen Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair The languages of the world encode possession in a variety of ways. In Slavic languages, possession on the level of the clause, or predicative possession, is represented by two main encoding strategies. Most Slavic languages, including those in the West and South Slavic sub- groupings, use a ‘have’ verb comparable to English have and German haben. But Russian, an East Slavic language, encodes predicative possession only infrequently with its ‘have’ verb imet'; instead, Russian uses a construction for predicative possession originating in a locative phrase, e.g. u menja est' kniga, which literally means ‘at me is a book’ for ‘I have a book’. This locative construction for predicative possession in Russian is often singled out as an aberrant construction in Slavic and attributed to contact-induced influence from Finnic languages.

Abstract In this pilot study, we examine the variation in the flagging patterns across 10 modern Slavic languages – covering all three major Slavic branches: South, West and East Slavic – and Old Church Slavic. We rely on a database that comprises 825 entries and is based on translation tasks with 46 verb meanings that target verbs with middle-level transitivity prominence. We analyze three main factors: the ratio of flagging alternations (vs. rigid government), transitivity prominence and ratio of nominative marking. We argue that despite high homogeneity in this domain across Slavic, there are clear genealogical and areal trends that explain the distribution of different flagging patterns across Slavic. Thus, when it comes to transitivity prominence, we detected an areal trend that splits Slavic languages into Northeast Slavic (Belarusian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian) and Southwest Slavic (all other languages), such that the former group shows relatively low and the latter high transitivity prominence.

  • Grammatical Influences (Morphological) of Albanian Language in the Languages of Minorities in the Region of Prizren
    E-ISSN 2240-0524 Journal of Educational and Vol 8 No 3 ISSN 2239-978X September 2018 Social Research . Research Article © 2018 Senad Neziri. This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). Grammatical Influences (Morphological) of Albanian Language in the Languages of Minorities in the Region of Prizren Senad Neziri, PhD(c) Faculty of Philology, University of Prishtina "Hasan Prishtina" Doi: 10.2478/jesr-2018-0031 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to prove the presence of calques (loan translation) of Albanian language in the languages of minorities (Gorani community, Bosnian community) in the region of Prizren. We will make an effort to provide evidence for the role of Albanian as a donor language through daily contacts with the members of the above-mentioned communities. The corpus of this study will be the edited volume of songs and folk tales from minority areas, respectively from the population of Gorani and Bosnian ethnicity and their dialects. The research will be focused in minority areas in the municipality of Dragash (Sharr) where Gorani people live, as well as in other areas of minority language speakers, mainly in Zhupa, in the municipality of Prizren. The paper will be important in enlightening the facts of using the structure of Albanian, both in the spoken language of the minority community and that of Albanian community. The cases where certain elements of Albanian language are encountered in another language, where Albanian appears as a donor language, will be considered as important.

  • The Etymology of Laz
    Slovenski jezik – Slovene Linguistic Studies 10 (2015): 205–212 Simona Klemenčič ZRC SAZU, Ljubljana, Inštitut za slovenski jezik The etymology of laz Praslovanske *lazъ, *lězti, *loza in *lěsъ razlagamo kot izpeljanke iz praindoevropskega ko- rena *le- ‛upogibati, zvijati’ s pomočjo analize izvora praslovanskih *lzъ lza ‛polje, travnik na mestu, kjer je bil posekan gozd’ in ‛ozek prehod, odprtina v ograji’. Proto-Slavic *lazъ, *lězti, *loza, and *lěsъ are explained as derived from the Proto-Indo-Euro- pean root *le ‛wind, bend’ through a closer look at the two origins of Proto-Slavic *lazъ and *lazь ‛(fallow) field or meadow created in place of a cut or burned forest’ and ‛narrow passage’, ‛opening, gate in a fence’. The following correspondences can be observed in Slovene: a) làz láza m. ‛cleared area in a forest or next to one, covered with grass, usually with a field’ (SSKJ 2014: 1, 702); b) lȃz m. ‛treeless area in a forest, cleared land, new field, new pasture (usually fenced)’; ‛empty area in a vineyard or field’ (Pleteršnik 1894–95: 1, 498); c) lȃz lazȋ f. ‛gate in a fence’ (Pleteršnik 1894–95: 1, 499); d) làz láza m. ‛pole in a haystack or hayrack’, ‛log (board), used for stepping on when working in a hayrack’ (Pleteršnik 1894–95: 1, 498); e) perhaps also lȃs lasȋ ‛long log (board) used by roofers for standing on’ (Pleteršnik 1894–95: 1, 496).
