Moundridge (Kansas) Schweitzer German
Moundridge Schweitzer German (MSG) is a strictly oral moribund heritage variety of German spoken in and around Moundridge, Kansas, approximately 30 miles northeast of Wichita.They are a community of Mennonites whose dialect most closely resembles Eastern Palatinate.Today, there are estimated to be fewer than three dozen speakers remaining, all over the age of 65.The speakers are approximately the third or fourth generation of MSG speakers in the …
The Cambridge Handbook of Germanic Linguistics
This chapter discusses Complementizer Agreement (CA): agreement between the complementizer introducing an embedded finite clause and the subject of that embedded clause. CA is mainly found in Frisian and the nonstandard varieties of Dutch and German. This chapter discusses the morphological properties of CA, in particular the (defectivity of) its paradigm, the relation between the CA paradigm and the verbal agreement paradigm, and the relation be…
Nonconvergence and Divergence in Bilingual Phonological and Phonetic Systems
This study explores the bilingual phonology of two heritage speakers of Moundridge Schweitzer German ( msg ) from Moundridge, Kansas. The speakers are descendants of Mennonite speakers of German who settled in the area around Moundridge, Kansas, in the 1870s. The production of Moundridge Schweitzer German /a/ and /ɔ/ and American English /a/ and /ɔ/ were compared and no evidence of phonological or phonetic convergence was found. For one speaker, …
Moribund Germanic Heritage Languages in North America
The contributions in Moribund Germanic Heritage Languages in North America advance the ever-expanding research program in formal and theoretical treatments of heritage language grammars through in-depth empirical investigations. The core focus on moribund varieties of heritage Germanic languages extends beyond the exploration of the individual heritage language grammars and contributes to larger discussions in the field of Germanic linguistics.

The diachrony and synchrony of vowel quantity in English and Dutch
This investigation of Open Syllable Lengthening in Middle English and Middle Dutch treats the changes as the result of listener-based reinterpretations of coarticulatory effects on vowel duration. OSL in English is a result of compensatory lengthening, which is analyzed as a hypocorrection. OSL in Middle Dutch involves a hypercorrection in which the duration of etymologically long vowels is reinterpreted as a purely phonetic correlate of stress i…

Hesselman's Law, Prokosch's Law, and Moraic Preservation in the Germanic Quantity Shift
According to Hesselman's Law, lengthenings in closed syllables (CSL) precede lengthenings in open syllables (OSL). This paper surveys dialectal and philological evidence from North Germanic and Upper German in support of Hesselman's Law. The paper argues that CSL serves as a catalyst for OSL. After CSL, short vowels are always followed by long consonants and short consonants are always preceded by long vowels in stressed heavy syllables, a patter…
The Germanic Verschärfung and Prosodic Change
This investigation of Germanic Verscharfung distinguishes between two types of phonological change. Sound change affects only the phonetic features of a segment whereas prosodic change consists of a change in the rhythmic structure of a language. The fixing of initial stress in Germanic is a prosodic change which conditions the gemination of intervocalic glides following short, previously unstressed vowels. However, the gemination of glides is ir…
Verner’s Law
La loi de Verner (1877) stipule que les occlusives sourdes et */s/ apres des syllabes non accentuees en proto-indo-europeen correspondent aux fricatives sonores proto-germaniques. Dans tous les autres environnements, les occlusives sourdes PIE correspondent aux fricatives sourdes. Toutefois, 120 ans apres la publication de l'article de Verner Eine Ausnahme des ersten Lautverschiebung, les motivations phonetiques et phonologiques de sa loi restent…
