“…In Figure 11, /y/ also occupies a central position, although this could in part be attributable to both F3 and F2 having lower frequency in rounded vowels (Schwartz et al 1993). The mid-centralised quality of /y/ was also observed by Newmark (1957) and Newmark et al (1982). /u/ is a rounded close back vowel.…”

“…The consonants represented by ‡q• and ‡gj• in writing are traditionally described as plosives (Newmark 1957;Bevington 1971;Newmark, Hubbard & Prifti 1982;Dodi 1996;Memushaj 2005Memushaj , 2011Jubani-Bengu 2011, 2012, though Lowman (1932) classifies them as affricates and Belluscio (2014) reports that they are realised with strong frication. In our data, in fact, they are never realised as plosives and are instead clearly affricated for all speakers.…”

“…Another contested aspect of these consonants concerns their place of articulation, which is generally reported to be palatal or pre-palatal/alveolo-palatal (Lowman 1932;Bevington 1971;Dodi 1996;Kolgjini 2004;Memushaj 2005Memushaj , 2011Jubani-Bengu 2011, 2012Belluscio 2014). On the other hand, Newmark (1957) and Newmark et al (1982) group ‡q• and ‡gj• together with the postalveolar fricatives and affricates /S Z tS dZ/ under the label 'laminal' and observe that the tongue tip is raised during the production of the former. To ascertain the place of articulation of ‡q• and ‡gj•, we carried out a palatographic investigation of various consonants, displayed in Figure 7.…”

Albanian (endonym: Shqip; Glotto: alba1268) is an Indo-European language which has been suggested to form an independent branch of the Indo-European family since the middle of the nineteenth century (Bopp 1855, Pedersen 1897, Çabej 1976). Though the origin of the language has been debated, the prevailing opinion in the literature is that it is a descendant of Illyrian (Hetzer 1995). Albanian is currently spoken by around 6–7 million people (Rusakov 2017: 552; Curtis 2018: 1800), the majority of whom live in Albania and Kosovo, with others in Italy, Greece, North Macedonia and Montenegro. Figure 1 shows a map of the main Albanian-speaking areas of Europe, with major linguistic subdivisions according to Gjinari (1988) and Elsie & Gross (2009) marked by different colours and shades.

“…Większość gramatyk i opisów słowotwórczych w ogóle nie uwzględnia formacji z tym sufiksem. Jedynie w dwóch gramatykach znaleźliśmy dwa przykłady rzeczowników rodzaju męskiego: birçe 'synek', nipçe 'wnuczek' (Newmark et al 1982: 172, Demiraj 2002.

“…To be sure, PoS usage is in several respects not fully independent from competence in morphology. For example, for Albanian it makes sense to treat auxiliaries and lexical verbs as distinct PoS because they differ in semantic, distri-Language Dynamics and Change 13 (2023) 277-302 butional, and morphosyntactic characteristics (Newmark, Hubbard, and Prifti, 1982;Buchholz and Fiedler, 1987). The preference of a fully bilingual Albanian heritage speaker for auxiliaries may be related to his or her inability to produce synthetic tense forms, possibly influenced by the dominant contact language.…”

Migration events splitting speaker communities and establishing novel contact situations are among the major drivers of language variation and change. While the precise processes that lead to change cannot usually be determined for past events with any certainty, the study of minority and heritage language usage in apparent time may provide insight into the contribution of the linguistic behavior underlying the dynamics. We capitalize on this and compare parts of speech usage in Pear Story renarrations across Gheg Albanian speakers of three generations in German-speaking environments, applying methods from information theory. The results suggest that the changing conventions in parts of speech usage across generations and places of residence can be attributed to changing linguistic behavior within the speaker community in the migration setting. These findings highlight the impact of changing sociocultural embedding and the roles of vertical and horizontal transmission in language change.
