  • Macedonian Dialect Classifications

    Open AccessVaselinka Labroska, Marjan Markovikj et al.ARTICLEDialectologia2026

    This paper gives an overview of all the classifications of Macedonian dialects provided by Macedonian linguists. The first classification, provided by Misirkov, gives only a basic differentiation of dialects: central Macedonian dialects and peripheral dialects (Misirkov 1903). The second classification provided by Kepeski is presented as introductory information in the first Macedonian grammar (Kepeski 1946). In Koneski’s grammar published in 195…

  • Eastern and Western Romance in the Balkans – the Contrasting but Revealing Positions of the Danubian Romance Languages and Judezmo

    Open AccessVictor A Friedman, Brian D JosephARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2021Citada por: 2

    The fate of two languages in the Balkans under conditions of language contact is discussed here. These languages, representing different branches of the Romance family, are the Ibero-Romance language Judezmo from the eastern branch and the South Danubian language Aromanian from the western branch. Both have been subject to intense contact with other languages in the Balkans but they show differential outcomes of this contact and thus differential…

  • Where Do Evidentials Come From?

    Victor A FriedmanCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Evidentiality2018

    This chapter examines the origins of evidential marking, with a focus on the languages of the Eurasian continent. These languages display both transmission and diffusion. Moreover, a feature that diffuses from one system into another can then be elaborated by mechanisms of transmission, while a transmitted system can be affected by diffusion. With the exception of Turkic and Mongolic, historically centrally located in Eurasia, reconstructable evi…

  • Seven varieties of Arli

    Open AccessVictor A FriedmanARTICLERomani Studies2017Citada por: 1

    Before the 1963 earthquake, Skopje was home to Romani dialects representing three major groups: South Vlax (Džambaz), Balkan II (Kovač or Burgudži), and South Balkan I (Arli). According to local tradition, there were seven Arli dialects spoken in Skopje: Topaanli, Barutči, Madžur, Konopar, Prištevač, Gilanli, and Gavutno. The author’s research confirmed this. The article selects phonological, morphological, and lexical features based on words and…

  • Macedonians

    Open AccessVictor A FriedmanCHAPTERWiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2015

    As an ethnonym, Macedonian refers to speakers of Modern Macedonian, a Slavic language most closely related to Bulgarian and Bosnian/ Croatian/ Serbian/ Montenegrin. The Ancient Macedonians, whose name was made famous by Alexander the Great, spoke a different Indo‐European language, one which died out in the fourth century bce . Owing to the paucity of evidence, the exact affiliation of Ancient Macedonian is uncertain.

  • Lessons from Judezmo about the Balkan Sprachbund and contact linguistics

    Victor A Friedman, Brian D JosephARTICLEInternational Journal of the…2014

    Kristian Sandfeld explicitly excluded Judezmo from consideration in the second footnote to his classic (1930 [1926]) work Linguistique balkanique, which laid the groundwork for Balkan linguistics as a discipline offering an empirical basis for Trubetzkoy's theory of the Sprachbund. To this day, Judezmo still receives relatively little attention from Balkanists. Nevertheless, the language offers some particularly important insights into the Balkan…

  • Compartmentalized grammar

    Open AccessVictor A FriedmanARTICLERomani Studies2013

    Of the many languages with which Romani is in contact, Turkish occupies a special place in that the copying of entire Turkish verbal paradigms into a variety of Romani dialects in the Balkans is reminiscent, in some respects, of the position of the influence of Greek on Early Romani. The phenomenon in question affects only certain Romani dialects spoken in the Balkans, and is manifested in different dialects to varying degrees. In this article I …

  • Enhancing national solidarity through the deployment of verbal categories

    Victor A FriedmanARTICLEPragmatics and Society2012

    The deployment of the Albanian admirative as well as the evidential particles kinse ‘allegedly’ and gjoja ‘supposedly’ in Kosovar electronic news sources to render either dubitative or neutral reports — depending on both the source and the timing — contributed to the project of an independent Kosovo. The usages can be divided into three periods: 1994–1997, 1998–1999, and post-1999. During the first period, usage was exclusively dubitative and dep…

  • The Balkan Languages and Balkan Linguistics

    Victor A FriedmanARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2011Citada por: 6Referencias: 49

    The Balkans were the first linguistic area (sprachbund) to be identified as such. The concept was originally proposed to explain diffusion among languages that were genealogically unrelated or distantly related in terms of normal linguistic change as opposed to notions of corruption and impurity. The fact that the sprachbund cannot be as neatly bounded as the traditional language family has led to some calls for abandoning the concept, but it rem…

  • Fable as History

    Victor A FriedmanARTICLERethinking History2000Citada por: 2Referencias: 3

    The goal of the paper is to indicate how the Macedonian context of Before the Rain can enrich a Western reading of the film and also to identify elements that can enrich any reading. The organizing principle is a close reading of selections of the film's text, music, and images. Among the issues and images I examine are the portrayal of disintegration in public and private spheres, including the erosion of older communicative practices and the de…

  • The implementation of standard Macedonian

    Victor A FriedmanARTICLEInternational Journal of the…1998Citada por: 2

    The Implementation of Standard Macedonian is examinedhere as an ongoing process that can be defined in terms offive types of linguistic issues: (1) recurring, (2) remissive, (3) resolved, (4) new, and (5) nonsalient. Orthographie, phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical phenomena are all adduced as examples of these types of issue in the context of four linguistic environments — (1) dialectal, (2) Balkan, (3) Slavic (4) (Western) Grea…
