Book Proto Slavic Inflectional Morphology

Download or read book Proto Slavic Inflectional Morphology written by Thomas Olander and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proto-Slavic, the reconstructed ancestor of the Slavic languages, presents a rich inflectional system inherited from Proto-Indo-European. In this handbook all the inflectional endings of Proto-Slavic are traced back to Proto-Indo-European through a systematic comparison with the corresponding forms in related languages. Applying a redefinition of Proto-Slavic based on prehistoric loanword relations with neighbouring non-Slavic languages, Thomas Olander provides a new look at the Proto-Slavic inflectional system. The systematic, coherent and exhaustive approach laid out in the handbook paves the way for new solutions to long-standing problems of Slavic historical grammar.

Book Dutch Contributions to the Fourteenth International Congress of Slavists  Ohrid  September 10 16  2008

Download or read book Dutch Contributions to the Fourteenth International Congress of Slavists Ohrid September 10 16 2008 written by H. Peter Houtzagers and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains articles by 17 slavists from the Low Countries. Although they are all about Slavic linguistics, they cover a wide range of subjects and their theoretical implications are often not restricted to slavistics alone. Most contributions deal with Russian or Slavic in general, but South and West Slavic are also represented. The reader who knows the strong points for which Dutch slavistics is traditionally known and appreciated will not be disappointed: s/he will find papers on syntax and semantics (Fortuin, Van Helden, Honselaar, Keijsper, Tribušinina), aspectology (Barentsen, Genis), philology (Veder), historical Slavic phonology and morphology (Derksen, Kortlandt, Vermeer), dialectology (Houtzagers, Pronk), the study of sentence intonation (Odé) and papers representing crossroads between these disciplines: philology and historical linguistics (Hendriks, Schaeken), aspectology and philology (Kalsbeek). Apart from its quality in the linguistic fields enumerated here, Dutch Slavic linguistics is known for its empirical approach: the main goal is to find explanations for linguistic reality. Theory is relevant inasmuch as it helps us to find such explanations and not for its own sake. Though each and every paper in this volume exemplifies this empirical attitude, it might be especially illustrative to mention that almost all authors who studied the larger contemporary Slavic languages made extensive use of language corpus resources, part of which were collected at the University of Amsterdam.

Book Accent Matters

Download or read book Accent Matters written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accentual systems of the Baltic and Slavic languages continue to intrigue scholars of general and historical linguistics. They play an important role in the reconstruction of the linguistic ancestor of Baltic and Slavic, but also in the typological study of accentual systems. This volume contains contributions related to the accentology of the Baltic and Slavic languages by leading scholars in the field. They discuss the accentual systems that are attested in Baltic and Slavic dialects and texts, and the historical developments that led to these systems. The volume further contains contributions on similar accentual systems and developments in other languages, such as Abkhaz and the Mordvinian languages. A number of papers also deal with the role of the Balto-Slavic accents in the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. The volume reflects the progress that has been made in the field of Baltic and Slavic accentuation during the last decades. It forms a major source for anyone interested in the latest developments and insights in the study of accentuation.

Book The Role of the     u stems in the Morphological Remodelling of the Common Slavic Nominal Declensional System  microform

Download or read book The Role of the u stems in the Morphological Remodelling of the Common Slavic Nominal Declensional System microform written by Robert A. (Robert Alexander) Orr and published by National Library of Canada. This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation is proposed a new framework for reconstructing the evolution of the CS nominal declensional system, with particular attention to the role which the *-u-stems may have played. This dissertation falls into three parts. I) A discussion of the IE background, in which is outlined a new framework for the reconstruction of the nominal system. Also, a brief review of some of the relevant literature on the *-u-stem declension in CS is offered. II) Problems caused by the proposed framework. In previous discussions of CS nominal morphology heavy reliance has been placed on Auslautgesetze (sound changes peculiar to the final syllable). In this study, however, an attempt has been made to dispense with Auslautgesetze and seek morphological (i.e., analogical) solutions for the relevant problems. In section A a theoretical framework for the proposed solutions is discussed in some detail, and in sections B, C, and D the role played by the *-u-stems is described. Sections E, F, G, and H deal with other forms for which Auslautgesetze have been proposed, and in each instance an alternative explanation is offered. Ill) The evolution of the *-u-stem endings in the modern Slavic languages. In these final sections the attested development of undisputed *-u-stem endings is outlined. Some parallels between the reconstructed prehistoric developments and the attested developments are noted.

Book Selected Writings on Slavic and General Linguistics

Download or read book Selected Writings on Slavic and General Linguistics written by Frederik Kortlandt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The larger part of the present volume is about Slavic historical linguistics while the second part is about more general issues and methodological aspects. The initial chapters contain a revision of the author’s Slavic Accentuation and a discussion of the Slovene evidence for the Late Proto-Slavic accentual system and of the Kiev Leaflets. These are complemented by an extensive review of Garde’s theory and an introductory article about the work of earlier authors for those who are unfamiliar with the subject. Then follows a discussion of changes in the vowel system, Bulgarian developments, final syllables in Slavic, early changes in the consonant system, and of Halle and Kiparsky’s review of Garde’s book. This results in a relative chronology of 70 stages from Proto-Indo-European to Slavic. The following chapters deal with the progressive palatalization, the accentuation of West and South Slavic languages, various aspects of the Old Slovene manuscripts, the chronology of nominal paradigms, and other issues under discussion in recent publications. The second part of the present volume contains a number of case studies exemplifying specific theoretical problems, most of them of a semantic nature. The synchronic studies deal with Russian and Japanese syntax and semantics, the diachronic studies with tonogenesis in different languages and with semantic reconstruction in Altaic and Chinese.

Book Slavic Nominal Word formation

Download or read book Slavic Nominal Word formation written by Ranko Matasović and published by Universitatsverlag Winter. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive monograph on Slavic nominal word-formation in English. It is a diachronic study of word-formation patterns in Proto-Slavic and their derivation from Proto-Indo-European. All conclusions about the origin of individual nominal suffixes, prefixes and compounding patterns are drawn from the reconstructed Proto-Slavic nominal lexicon. In this way, those word-formation patterns that can be attributed to Proto-Slavic can be distinguished from those that became productive independently in individual Slavic languages. The book contains a discussion of the meaning of Proto-Slavic nominal suffixes and prefixes, their origin and possible Proto-Indo-European sources, as well as an analysis of the accentual patterns associated with them. It also discusses in general outlines the productivity and development of individual nominal suffixes and prefixes in later stages of Slavic, including the major modern languages.
