Definiteness in Slavic, Baltic, and Germanic
This paper offers an exploration of a European linguistic area at the dawn of history and of shifting convergence zones (Sprachbünde) in Europe since prehistoric times. Its main focus is on the development of Adjective-Phrase Definiteness marking in Germanic, Baltic, and Slavic (§1). Traditionally this commonality among the three language groups has been considered a coincidence. But in recent years several comparativists have proclaimed it a res…
Eculizumab improves fatigue in refractory generalized myasthenia gravis
Compared with placebo, eculizumab was associated with improvements in perceived fatigue that strongly correlated with improvements in MG-specific outcome measures. Trial ID Registration: NCT01997229, NCT02301624
On the Origin of the Slavic Aspects
This article presents a sketch of the prehistorical development of the Common Slavic preterital imperfect/aorist category. The methods of internal analysis and linguistic geography are applied to mostly well-established data in order to reconstruct major elements of this development, in particular the relative chronology of the main morphological changes, correlations with well-known Common Slavic phonological changes, as well as correlations of …
The New Russian Vocative
1. Since the 1800s some proper and some common nouns of the Russian 2nd (-a) declension are attested with innovated vocative forms, apparently formed from nominatives by truncation. 2. Current usage is somewhat heterogeneous, and speakers differ markedly in their evaluation of new vocative forms depending on phonological, morphological, and semantic features. Here it is shown that the state of variation these differences reflect is a synchronic p…
Reduplication in Slavic and Baltic
The exposition comprises three parts. Part 1 surveys the Indo-European reduplication patterns (RPs) that have been lost in Slavic and Baltic: the languages show little or no evidence of inherited RPs in present and perfect formations, and in intensive verbs (Sect. 2.1), but some vestiges of reduplication in nouns can be identified (Sect. 2.2). Part 2 describes innovated RPs in the Slavic verb; they can be posited on the basis of scanty evidence t…
Future and Future Perfect in the Old Novgorod Dialect
Grammation, regrammation, and degrammation
Taking Heine's (2003) characterization of Grammaticalization as its point of departure, this paper proposes an elementary framework, and corresponding terminology, for the description of the most common types of historical change in grammar (changes in content, content syntax, expression, and morphosyntax) and the types of innovation that give rise to them (neologism, extension, adoption, reanalysis, monolingual and bilingual). These basic concep…

Language Contacts in Prehistory
Every language includes layers of lexical and grammatical elements that entered it at different times in the more or less distant past. Hence, for periods preceding our earliest historical documentation, linguistic stratigraphy — the systematic study of such layers — may yield information about the prehistory of a given tradition of speaking in a variety of ways. For instance, irregular phonological reflexes may be evidence of the convergence of …

Reconstructing Prehistorical Dialects
Historical Linguistics 1993
This volume contains a selection of 34 of the 96 papers presented at ICHL 1993, including several of the contributions to the workshop on Parameters and Typology organized jointly by Henning Andersen and David W. Lightfoot. Major topics represented are grammaticalization and functional renewal (illustrated with changes in romance, French, Pennsylvania German, Afrikaans, English, Finnish), changes in syntax (Indo-European, Indo-Aryan, Ancient Gree…
Historical Linguistics 1987
The volume contains 37 papers originally presented at the 8th International Conference on Historical Linguistics in Lille, France. The papers bring historical data to bear on issues in theoretical linguistics, both descriptive and diachronic or deal with specific questions in the history of individual languages. The theoretical issues range from phonology over morphology and syntax to the lexicon, as well as questions of historical dialectology, …

Typological and Genetic Relationship between Languages
Abductive and Deductive Change
This article takes as its point of departure an unusual phonological change in a Czech dialect. It then proposes a model of phonological change which would make possible the understanding of structural innovations in the phonology of a homogeneous speech community. The model, which distinguishes two logically different modes of change (abductive and deductive), helps clarify the essential difference between ‘internally motivated’ change and chang…
Diphthongization
This article is an attempt to apply distinctive feature theory to the study of diphthongization. It shows that several types of phonological change—some of them traditionally called diphthongization, others not—involve identical processes of change, and differ only in terms of the distinctive features involved. It identifies the single principle of intra-segmental variation which underlies all such changes, and thus defines the place of diphthong…

A Study in Diachronic Morphophonemics
Over the last eight centuries the morphophonemic rules relevant to prefixes in Ukrainian have undergone a number of changes which are here defined and dated relative to one another. The changes are then categorized typologically, and the mechanism of change involved in two of the types is discussed in detail. It is shown that the direction of change in morphophonemics is determined by different synchronic relations between rules and marked lexica…

The phonological status of the Russian ‘labial fricatives’
It is generally accepted that Contemporary Standard Russian (CSR) has four labiodental fricatives, f, f', v and v '. Most descriptions of Russian phonetics note that two of these, the voiced v and v ' differ from all other Russian obstruents in one important respect. While as a general rule obstruent sequences are either voiced throughout or voiceless throughout depending on the voiced or voiceless character of the last member of the sequence, v …
IE * s after i, u, r, k in Baltic and Slavic
1. The problem with which this article is concerned was first brought to the attention of the scholarly community 150 years ago by Rasmus Kristian Rask in his pioneering Undersøgelse om det gamle Nordiske eller Islandske Sprogs Oprindelse. Rask did not specifically discuss the treatment of IE *s in Slavic and Baltic, but in his survey of the nominal desinences of Slavic, he noted that “Stedsformen endes i Navneordene overalt paa ach eller ãch [= …

Lenition in Common Slavic
Three different reflexes of Proto-Slavic *g and the reflex of *di̭ changed to fricatives in early Slavic. A hitherto unnoticed sequential constraint in Common Slavic, along with the geographical limitations of these changes, permits us to date them relative to the loss of syllable-final obstruents in CS1., to the fall of the jers, and to one another. Typological analysis shows that the source of the phonetic changes was a pronunciation rule imply…
