We expect linguistic areas in geographically delimited regions because, as has been seen universally, languages tend to influence each other when in contact. In linguistic areas we expect to see shared distinctive traits between some of the languages in the area. This paper reflects on why it is that Manipur (Northeast India), which hosts within its 22,347 square kilometers approximately 29 languages, does not exhibit a greater sharing of linguistic traits. This article discusses some distinctive key features between four representative languages of Manipur: Lamkang, Meitei, Tangkhul, and Thadou. Cross-language influence is limited due to dissimilar religious and socio-economic factors.

“…Historisk set har grammatiske markører af saetningskombination, fx adverbielle/koordinerende konjunktioner og adverbier, typisk udviklet sig fra en tidligere mere objektiv funktion (Genetti 1991). De bruges, ifølge Traugott, til at signalere den talendes perspektiv i forhold til den måde de verbalsituationer der tales om, er relateret til hinanden.…”

“…This section investigates the emergence of the schematic concept of 'cause' as expressed by the preposition at. The causal meanings of at can be traced back to the spatial senses of their source meanings (Genetti 1991;Kilroe 1994;Cuyckens 1999). The source meaning of at and its extended senses of target and cause as observed in the historical data are exemplified in example (2).…”

Causality-Encoding ofatandbyin Emotion Constructions in English

by share certain similarities in that they both arise suddenly and momentarily. However, their following nominals show distinctive aspects, specifically, complements of at focus on the resultant states and those of by describe events. This paper argues that this difference is attributable to the schematic meanings of the prepositions. Although both prepositions express causality of momentary emotion, they have different schematic meanings, viz. target (at) and agent (by). Given the schematic meaning of target, the nominals following at are static and resultative. In contrast, since the schematic meaning of agent relates to dynamic changes, the complements of by describe dynamic situations. Based on the underlying assumption that the collocation patterns of at and by with emotion terms and following nominals are semantically motivated by their schematic meanings, this study examines at and by in three phases. The first phase comprises a qualitative analysis of historical data relating to the emergence of the schematic meanings of the prepositions; the second involves a corpus analysis, using the COCA to determine the emotion causality of prepositions and their conceptual rationale in emotion constructions synchronically; and the final phase consists of an experimental analysis to identify their different conceptualizations in emotion constructions.
