It uses primary data obtained by the author directly from various\u0000 locales and compares sets of these data with the secondary data available on Balochi from 19th and early 20th century material. I\u0000 maintain that, historically, voiceless aspiration arose word-initially in Eastern Balochi, in the sounds /p t č k/, and spread\u0000 from there to other positions. In the discussion of aspiration, literature on Balochi has seen the question of influence from the\u0000 neighbouring Indo-Aryan languages as an important problem. In this paper it is argued that equally relevant to the issue are two\u0000 other important historical phenomena: post-vocalic lenition of stops and affricates, and gemination, a widely found but less well\u0000 explored feature of Balochi. Also observed in Eastern Balochi, but less frequently remarked upon, is the breathiness found in\u0000 voiced stops and affricate, a feature hitherto understood to be restricted to a small lexicon borrowed from Indo-Aryan. Focusing\u0000 on a large number of Eastern Balochi varieties rather than seeing it as a unified whole, I attempt to show that contrastive status\u0000 of aspiration appears to be gradually developing in these varieties. Many processes are leading in this direction, such as\u0000 degemination and fortition of fricatives; among these one important diagnostic for the ultimate status of aspiration, I propose,\u0000 is the transposition of glottal fricative.","PeriodicalId":42165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43117845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systematic loss of initial consonants is a typologically unusual\u0000 phenomenon, mainly found in Australia, that has often been regarded as a starting point for far-reaching changes in root\u0000 structure, phonotactics and even phoneme inventory. So far, the literature has focused mainly on identifying phonetic causes of\u0000 initial loss. This study focuses on the actual processes and pathways of initial loss, which is an equally important part of the\u0000 historical puzzle. Specifically, it shows that there are multiple pathways for initial loss: it can be the result of a gradual\u0000 phonetic process involving intermediate steps like lenition, as is assumed in part of the literature, but it can also be due to\u0000 more abrupt processes involving borrowing and even morphosyntactic alternations. This adds to a more diversified model of how\u0000 initial loss actually proceeds, which together with earlier work on the diversity of phonetic causes of initial loss produces a\u0000 more comprehensive understanding of this typologically and diachronically unusual phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":42165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48684839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By providing a critical view of this\u0000 system at an earlier stage in the history of the English language, the present study adds to the long tradition of scholarship on\u0000 intensifiers while providing new insight into their diachronic development. Despite its antiquity, several parallels can be drawn\u0000 with the intensifier system at later stages in the language. Both internal and external factors are found to constrain this\u0000 system, with predicative adjectives favoring intensification over attributive adjectives, prose texts having higher\u0000 intensification rates than verse texts, Latin-based texts having higher intensification rates than vernacular texts, and the rate\u0000 of intensification increasing over time. The quantitative analysis of the Old English system also increases the time depth\u0000 necessary for a more detailed reflection on the diachronic recycling, replacement, and renewal of intensifiers. Language contact\u0000 and borrowing are also postulated as driving forces of innovation and replacement in earlier stages of the English language.","PeriodicalId":42165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49161563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Products of this path (e.g., German heute, Spanish ahora) feature consistently in contrastive approaches to grammaticalization and lexicalization and have been advanced as exclusive examples of both phenomena, without clear resolution. In this investigation, I establish the derivation of now forms in dialectal Arabic from ten distinct [demonstrative [time noun]] source constructions and identify patterns of fusion and coalescence relevant to both grammaticalization and lexicalization analyses. I then demonstrate a correlated progression of indexicalization and desemanticization in these items’ semanto-pragmatic structure that firmly positions them as examples of grammaticalizing, rather than lexicalizing, change, and proceed to develop this account via examination of the cross-dialectal diffusion of now < this time as an abstract, schematized structure. This approach provides additional support for a grammaticalization account of temporal deictic < [demonstrative [time noun]] developments cross-linguistically and elaborates a novel evidentiary stream with implications for the integration of contact linguistics and grammaticalization/lexicalization studies more broadly.","PeriodicalId":42165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44165941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We illustrate how this approach allows us to capture similarities between the alignment\u0000 shifts in Eskimo-Aleut and Western Austronesian languages, despite morphosyntactic differences in their voice systems. Using three\u0000 diagnostics of functional markedness (semantic transitivity, topic continuity of P, and discourse frequency), we compare\u0000 antipassive and ergative constructions in Eskimo-Aleut varieties and actor voice (av) and undergoer voice (uv)\u0000 constructions in Western Austronesian varieties. We argue that ergative alignment is equivalent to a functionally unmarked\u0000 P-prominent construction (e.g., ergative, uv), whilst accusative alignment is equivalent to a functionally unmarked\u0000 A-prominent construction (e.g., antipassive, av). On this basis, we claim that both language groups are undergoing a\u0000 parallel shift from ergative to accusative, since A-prominent constructions are functionally marked in more conservative\u0000 varieties, but lose their functionally marked character and begin to function as unmarked transitive constructions in more\u0000 innovative varieties.","PeriodicalId":42165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Linguistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42190646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
