The immense data on the Armenian language enables to develop and study more thoroughly: it also outlines the probable ways of how the research on the history of the Armenian language should develop under new circumstances on the basis of the previously gained material. This study summarizes the research of some essential issues of the Armenian language in its ancient historical aspect, which also briefly outlines the results of the studies by different scholars. A part of the research was published earlier as scientific articles, another part was introduced as reports at various conferences. And the other part of the research will be published here for the first time. The first chapter discusses some fundamental issues of the history of the Armenian language. The solution of problems supposes a more detailed and extensive study of various facts and evidence of the Armenian language broadly implementing the latest linguistic data about the history of different stages of the Armenian language. The second chapter refers to a very important phenomenon, that is the history of IE plosives and their occurrence in the Armenian language. The latter shows that this phenomenon is not clearly and completely applied in Armenian. The above mentioned will give the etymology of a number of Armenian words that haven‘t ever been studied before or have had ambiguous explanation. These words have become the subject of this study. The latter will allow to illustrate several phenomena which haven‘t been revealed before. The third chapter touches upon the etymology of a number of Armenian words of IE origin. Those words either haven‘t been studied etymologically before or only to a certain extent. The latest 8 data introduced in the comparative studies of the IE languages is used parallelly to the data about the traditional etymology. The etymology of the Armenian words of IE origin enlarges the vocabulary of the native semantic groups connected with different fields of life. During the last three or four decades the study of the IE languages has entered a new development stage and acquired a great interest. New studies have appeared, scolars have begun investigating completely new issues. Some models with incomplete explanation have been targeted again, taken a new modification or interpretation. In the field of comparative linguistics more realistic principles and approaches are worked out, which are nothing but further development of a number of methods and rules in comparativeness. Thus appear new criteria about the relationship of the languages and the history of linguistic phenomena which are substantiated from the point of view of different etymological studies [cf. Jakobson 1957; Якобсон 1963: 95-105; Гамкрелидзе/Иванов 1984, etc.]. In the latest studies of the prehistoric (pre-literary) period of the Armenian language some researchers have focused on issues which have become the center of attention especially with mentioned criteria. Because of its features of archaism the data on Armenian acquires comparably great interest among scholars. The expression and description of both invariant (common) and variative (partial) units acquire greater significance not only for the reconstruction of the IE parent language but also for the discussion of modern trends on split, individual development and contacts of the coherent languages. In some cases theoretical generalization is considered to be ideal and in other cases separation and variative studies seem perfect [Джаукян 1982: 59-67; Djahukyan 1987]. Many problems of the Armenian comparative lexicology can be revised through comparative and typological studies and also by means of so called variative studies. This work touches upon the variativity of some IE words root and several noteworthy problems on the variative study of 9 Armenian which will enable linguists to begin broader research of the subject in the future. The initiation of these studies supposes a new detailed and broad study of different Armenian roots. Thus, several matters on root and form of lexis may become a subject of interest from different aspects which will create a real basis for new etymologies or edition and revision of the old ones. Because of the importance of such issues we are going to investigate problems of the variative reconstruction and typological analysis, the solution of which will make it possible to describe newly

A longstanding problem of Classical Armenian phonology is the realization of the stops and affricates. Traditionally they are transcribed as voiceless, voiced, and voiceless aspirated, e.g. t, d, t‘ [th]. Diachronically, they reflect a shift in manner of articulation similar to, but independent of, Grimm’s Law in Germanic: Proto-Indo-European Armenian *t (Tenues, voiceless) t‘ [th] *d (Mediae, voiced) t *dh (Mediae Aspiratae, voiced aspirated) d Classical Armenian – Phonology 1 – Segmental Phonology: Consonants 6 The stops and affricates .

  • 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.

    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.

Ohala* & Maria-Josep Solé # *Department of Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley [email protected] #Department of English, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain [email protected] In this paper we aim to provide an account of some of the phonological patterns involving turbulent sounds, summarizing material we have published previously and results from other investigators. In addition, we explore the ways in which sounds pattern, combine, and evolve in language and how these patterns can be derived from a few physical and perceptual principles which are independent from language itself (Lindblom 1984, 1990a) and which can be empirically verified (Ohala and Jaeger 1986). This approach should be contrasted with that of mainstream phonological theory (i.e., phonological theory within generative linguistics) which primarily considers sound structure as motivated by ‘formal’ principles or constraints that are specific to language, rather than relevant to other physical or cognitive domains. For this reason, the title of this paper is meant to be ambiguous. The primary sense of it refers to sound patterns in languages involving sounds with turbulence, e.g., fricatives and stops bursts, but a secondary meaning is the metaphorical turbulence in the practice of phonology over the past several decades.

DeLisi 2015 © Copyright by Jessica L. DeLisi 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Epenthesis and prosodic structure in Armenian: A diachronic account by Jessica L. DeLisi Doctor of Philosophy in Indo-European Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor H. Craig Melchert, Chair In this dissertation I will attempt to answer the following question: why does Classical Armenian have three dierent reexes for the Proto-Armenian epenthetic vowel word- initially before old Proto-Indo-European consonant clusters? Two of the vowels, e and a, occur in the same phonological environment, and even in doublets (e.g., Classical ełbayr beside dialectal ałbär ‘brother’). The main constraint driving this asymmetry is the promotion of the Sonority Sequenc- ing Principle in the grammar. Because sibilants are more sonorous than stops, the promo- tion of the Sonority Sequencing Principle above the Strict Layer Hypothesis causes speak- ers to create a semisyllable to house the sibilant extraprosodically. This extraprosodic structure is not required for old consonant-resonant clusters since they already conform to the Sonority Sequencing Principle. Because Armenian has sonority-sensitive stress, the secondary stress placed on word-initial epenthetic vowels triggers a vowel change in all words without extraprosodic structure, i.e.

R o s t o v t s e v - P o p i e l (Paris) IMMOCAL: A Corpora-Based Approach to the Typology of Verbal Categories This talk introduces IMMOCAL (Eng. Imperfective Modalities in Caucasian Languages, Fr. Modalités imperfectives dans les langues du Caucase), an ongoing multifaceted project supported by the ANR (Fr. L’Agence nationale de recherche), hosted by the Collège de France, Paris, and supervised by Gilles Authier. The project aims to provide a typologically-oriented description of TAME systems in a number of (less sufficiently studied) languages spoken in the Caucasus (including Daghestanian: Tsakhur, Southern Lezgi, Southern Rutul, Kryz, Kaytag Dargi; Kartvelian: all the languages, with a predominant focus on Megrelian; and Indo-European: Eastern Armenian, Muslim Tat, Northern Talyshi), with a special emphasis on the expression of imperfective aspectual semantics.
