“…A similar phenomenon can be seen in the Lovari verbal system where verb stems ending in an -u-, which are exclusively made up loan verbs, are prone to losing their category and are recategorised as -i-stem verbs, which constitute the bigger class of loan verbs (Baló 2011;. The analogical effect based on frequency is conspicuous here and it heavily affects the low number of stems containing an -u-all over the Lovari morphology.…”

Abstract:The paper attempts to provide evidence that analogy-based approaches make language change, as well as unstable and variegated forms and word classes easier to grasp than they would be in a traditional synchronic framework or through a rule-based diachronic analysis. The example is the declension of the Lovari dialect of Romani, a dialectally most diverse Indo-European language that is often exposed to contact-related influences. A unique feature of Romani, the strict split between the morphology of inherited and borrowed vocabulary is seen in a new light if we examine the possible analogical processes behind the apparent erosion of this system, and the seemingly high number of inflectional nominal paradigms can be reduced to just two.

“…Personal concord markers according to Baló (2008) This renders patja + l > patjál in the third person singular, and the deletion of the thematic vowel or the vowel of the marker would only have to be assumed in the first persons of the -astem verbs. This analysis is also more appealing if we look at the -istem verbs: we will only have to state that the vowel of the marker is deleted.…”
