Wiemer О роли приставок и суффиксов на ранних и поздних этапах истории славянского вида 219 Contributors 255 From the editors One of the currently most studied topics in the field of verbal aspect and its grammaticalization is aspectual prefixation (a.k.a. preverbation). It is an estab- lished fact that in the Slavic languages (the most well-studied in terms of aspect, being traditionally considered prototypical as far as this grammatical category is concerned) the aspect system is based on perfective forms arising from the merger of verbal bases with prefixes acting asbounders (ограничители), which originally performed the function of markers of adverbial meanings. These pre- fixal morphemes (called simplyprefixes or preverbs by different authors) added meanings related to the spatial location or dynamics of the predicate, but sub- sequently, in the diachronic process of grammaticalization, they acquired more abstract meanings, first among them that ofevent culmination, i.e. the attainment of the inherent final bound (предел) of the event, which is at the basis of perfec- tivity (as manifested in Slavic). Similar developments have also characterized other languages (non-Slavic, some belonging to the Indo-European stock, but by no means exclusively); these languages are also characterized by the presence of preverbs in their verbal system. The studies collected in the present volume pursue this line of research, an- alyzing and comparing not only different Slavic languages, but also other lan- guages (both Indo-European and non-Indo-European), which at some level also display the category of verbal aspect as well as the phenomenon of preverbation (whether still productive or not any longer). More precisely, the studies in this collection attempt to shed light on the variation to be found in verbal systems that use preverbs as perfectivizers by identifying the ways such morphemes are used and the limitations on their use. Another line of research pursued in this volume attempts to outline various possible paths of grammaticalization (and lexicaliza- tion) which the morphemes involved in various aspect system may undergo. All this is done in order to arrive at a deeper knowledge of the category of verbal aspect, with special focus on the Slavic phenomenology. Attention is also paid to the grammaticalization pathways leading to the formation of aspect systems in situations of language contact, a theme to which three works are dedicated. Arkad’ev focuses on the peculiarities of the aspect systems developed by non-Slavic languages in situations of contact with Slavic languages (Yiddish, Romani, Livonian and Istroromanian). Two papers (Bena- Rosanna Benacchio, Alessio Muro, Svetlana Slavkova (edited by), The role of prefixes in the formation of aspectuality: issues of grammaticalization, ISBN 978-88-6453-697-2 (print) ISBN 978-88-6453-698-9 (online), CC BY 4.0, 2017 Firenze University Press VIII The role of prefixes in the formation of aspectuality cchio and Steenwijk; Breu, Pila and Scholze), on the other hand, focus on the grammaticalization of aspect in minority Slavic varieties that have developed in situations of contact with Romance or Germanic languages. Other studies focus on ancient languages: Bertocci analyses the aspectual properties of some Latin preverbs, and Kamphuis aims to define more precisely the contribution of preverbation to the development of Slavic verbal aspect in the historical phase represented by Old Church Slavonic, which displays a situ- ation still far from that of modern Slavic varieties. The diachronic pathways leading to the emergence of Slavic verbal aspect are dealt with in Dickey’s study, which focuses on the analysis of the preverb u-, which is argued to have played a key role in the development of the perfec- tivizing function of Slavic preverbs. Wiemer’s contribution is dedicated to the interplay of the morphological mechanisms of prefixation and suffixation in the various stages of grammaticalization of various Slavic aspect systems. Focusing on modern Slavic languages, Esvan explores the mechanisms of perfectivization and imperfectivization of verbal loans in contemporary Czech, while Slavkova compares the behaviour of the superlexical prefixpo- in Bulgar- ian and Russian. Modern Russian is dealt with by Ruvoletto, who explores the functions that preverbation can assume with the class of verbs of indeterminate motion. The same language is the topic of Plungjan’s paper: starting from a dia- chronic analysis of the (bi)aspectual value of the Russian verb past’, the author describes a particular case in the formation of aspectual pairs in this language, i.e. the so-called “two-stem perfectivization”. Also focusing on Russian (though on the background of a comparative Slavic perspective), Petruchina’s study deals with some important theoretical and terminological issues concerning the gram- maticalization of aspect and the formation of the aspectual pairs. Finally, Muro’s paper is dedicated to the phenomenon of preverb stacking, especially productive in some Slavic languages such as Bulgarian; his contri- bution also contains

Bovec – Flitsch – Plezzo is a town in western Slovenia. Drago Kladnik, Semantic Demarcation of the Concepts of Endonym and Exonym Semantic Demarcation of the Concepts of Endonym and Exonym DOI: 10.3986/AGS49206 UDC: 81'373.21 COBISS: 1.01 ABSTRACT: This article discusses the delicate relationships when demarcating the concepts of endonym and exonym. In addition to problems connected with the study of transnational names (i.e., names of geographical features extending across the territory of several countries), there are also problems in eth- nically mixed areas. These are examined in greater detail in the case of place names in Slovenia and neighboring countries. On the one hand, this raises the question of the nature of endonyms on the territory of Slovenia in the languages of officially recognized minorities and their respective linguistic communities, and their relationship to exonyms in the languages of neighboring countries. On the other hand, it also raises the issue of Slovenian exonyms for place names in neighboring countries and their relationship to the nature of Slovenian endonyms on their territories. At a certain point, these dimensions intertwine, and it is there that the demarcation between the concepts of endonym and exonym is most difficult and problematic. KEY WORDS: geography, geographical names, endonym, exonym, exonimization, geography, linguistics, terminology, ethnically mixed areas, Slovenia The article was submitted for publication on May 4, 2009.

Unter Mitarbeit von Denise Branz, Christina Kircher-Zwittnig und Juruj Perč. Klagen- furt-Wien/Celovec-Dunaj: Drava Verlag/Založba Drava. 2013. 178 pa- ges. ISBN: 9783854357193. The languages of the “old” Slavic minorities in Austria, the Slovenes in Carinthia and Steiermark and the Croatians in the Burgenland, only rarely receive the atten- tion they deserve. This is surprising because these languages are of special interest to linguists for a number of reasons. Firstly, they show the effects of intense, long-term contact with neighbouring German dialects. These contacts often resulted in large- scale lexical and structural borrowing. Although all areas show heavy borrowing, the influence of German is not always equally large and the elements that were borrowed are not always identical. Secondly, both Slovene and Croatian spoken in Austria often preserve archaisms not found in Slovenian spoken in Slovenia or Croatian spoken in Croatia. Finally, the Slovene and Croatian dialects in Austria (unfortunately) often present interesting case studies for language loss and language death. Detailed studies of the subjects mentioned above are made more difficult be- cause of the linguistic heterogeneity of the Slovene and Croatian spoken in Aus- tria. In the case of Carinthian and Styrian Slovene, this is because their 1400-year presence in mountainous terrain with only limited mutual contact led to significant dialectal differences. In the case of Burgenland Croatian, the people who settled the Burgenland in the 16th century from various parts of what are now Bosnia and Croatia brought different dialects with them.

  • On Some Recent Pomak Writing Activities in Greece: Ethno-Cultural Context and Linguistic Peculiarities
    ESUKA – JEFUL 2011, 2 – 1: 261 – 272 ON SOME RECENT POMAK WRITING ACTIVITIES IN GREECE: ETHNO-CULTURAL CONTEXT AND LINGUISTIC PECULIARITIES Maria Manova Humboldt University of Berlin Abstract. Despite numerous attempts at codifying their language, the Pomaks in Greece, a linguistic as well as religious minority, do not generally put into writing this variety, which is considered to be a Bulgarian dialect. Up until about fifteen years ago, there was an absence of any kind of lexicographic tradition. The grammars, dic- tionaries etc. that appeared in Greece in the mid-1990’s can be classified as “external” codifications, since most of them were made by the majority. Over the last few years, however, an increasing minority-activism has changed the situation somewhat. Some writ- ing has begun to emerge from the community, but the variety is still far from fitting the criteria for micro-literacy, the codification of which is difficult due to the different idiolectal varieties of the language actors, which are far away from a uniform orthographical norm as well as an alphabet. However, the publications in the mi- nority language are seen as evidence of cultural emancipation and linguistic vitality. This article deals with the issues of language and literacy among the Pomaks in Greece and presents a case study of the ethno-linguistic orientation of the currently most productive Pomak language activist’s writings. Keywords: minority languages in the Balkans, identity, language planning, written use of minority languages, lexical modernization 1. Introduction The Pomaks converted to Islam during the period of Otto- man rule in the Balkans.

  • Specific Language Contact Phenomena in the Habsburg Empire and Their Possible Utilization for Teaching Czech As a Foreign Language in Austria1
    Specific language contact phenomena in the Habsburg Empire and their possible utilization for teaching Czech as a foreign language in Austria1 Stefan Michael Newerkla ABSTRACT: Not only does pluricentric German display characteristic features of Standard Average European, but it also comprises several distinguishing features in various contact areas with Baltic, Finno-Ugrian and Slavic languages. Like isoglosses, which constitute certain dialect areas in dialectology, bundled language contact phenomena distinguish certain contact areas from others. A major language contact area in Central Europe — merely one out of several — is the contact zone which we can associate with the former centre of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with German, Hungarian, Czech and Slovak as its core languages as well as Polish, Slovene and others as its only partially involved peripheral languages. From this contact area, a micro-area emerged in Vienna and Eastern Austria that was particularly affected by the influence of Czech on German vice versa. This contribution illustrates how the latter language contact phenomena can fruitfully contribute to the process of teaching Czech as a foreign language in Austria. KEY WORDS: Austria, Czech language, German language, language contact, language teaching In present day Austria, there are seven officially recognized minority languages, i.e. the languages of the six autochthonous ethnic groups officially recognized by the Ethnic Groups Act (Volksgruppengesetz), actually a federal act on the legal status of ethnic groups in Austria dated 7th July 1976 (Bundesgesetz vom 7. 7. 1976 über die Rechtsstellung von Volksgruppen in Österreich), plus the Austrian Sign Language (Österreichische Gebärdensprache) with approximately 9,000 speakers. Several other languages of minorities living here also play an important role.
