Homeric ‐phi(n)is an oblique case marker1

The synchronic distribution and diachronic trajectory of Homeric-phi(n) have been the source of long-standing debate, with the result that scholarly opinion has yet to settle on a consensus regarding the morphosyntax of forms realized by this marker. Some maintain that forms in-phi(n) are adverbs, while others contend that they are nominals (i.e., nouns or adjectives). Evidence from agreement and prepositional phrases shows that the latter analysis is correct. Homeric-phi(n) is therefore a case exponent. More specifically, it is an oblique case marker that realizes genitive or dative case in the singular, dual, or plural across all three grammatical genders. Since other case markers exist in the language for realizing genitive and dative case, forms in-phi(n) are an example of morphological OVERABUNDANCE, the realization of a paradigm cell by more than one word form. This synchronic analysis has diachronic consequences, in as much as it now becomes clearer that-phi(n) continues the instrumental plural case marker */-b ɦ is/ and not the adverbial suffix */-b ɦ i/.

“…Although the grammaticalization of a demonstrative to a complementizer is cross‐linguistically well‐known (Kuteva et al. 2019:134–135), the comparison with the other Mataguayan languages and the analysis of sound correspondences is necessary to show that the complementizer ka = stems from the grammaticalization of a homophonous determiner.…”

From Fieldwork to Reconstruction: Historical Issues in Hotspots of Linguistic Diversity*

This special issue aims to explore the advances in historical linguistics that are made possible by the ongoing documentation of underdescribed and endangered languages. Indeed, apart from its contribution to typology, any linguistic description offers data to be analyzed from a diachronic perspective. It hardly needs to be noted that both documentation and historical linguistics significantly contribute to the culture of the communities involved.The most urgent task of linguistics today is perhaps the description and preservation of the amazing linguistic diversity that is still present on the planet. UNESCO reaffirmed this priority with the proclamation of 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages. The awareness of the need for more efforts to protect minority languages led to the declaration of an entire decade, 2022-2032, as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages. Already since 1999, on February 21 of each year, UNESCO has been celebrating the International Mother Language Day, with particular attention to the promotion and protection of those linguistic varieties that are currently threatened.

“…Verbs of helping undergo the same development in Sinitic languages. While the grammaticalization from “help” to benefactive is very common across all Sinitic languages (Kuteva & Heine, :199‐200), the further stage of grammaticalization into an optional O marker is largely confined to the Wu, Hui, and Xiang branches. In (31), for instance, from the Jiangshan variety of Wu, the O marker is derived from the verb pã 44 “to help.”…”

Optional and alternating case marking: Typology and diachrony

This paper presents a survey of the typology and diachrony of optional and alternating case marking, in the context of related phenomena such as referent‐ and construction‐based splits. While there is much recent work in this area, driven by text‐based approaches to language description, as well as quantitative and areal approaches to typology, the domain remains somewhat scattered, conceptually and terminologically. We chart the relevant phenomena, and we provide a typological survey of optional and alternating marking for A and O arguments. We also highlight some of the questions that remain, including problems with the classic model of case marking based on markedness reversal. A final section investigates the diachronic origins of optional case markers. These are largely similar to those for non‐optional systems, apart from certain source domains, as well as factors related to information structure, both in the form of source domains and as constructional contexts playing a role in the development of the markers.
