Hey everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm asking if anyone has described or found likely cases
where some epenthetic segment(s) has/have been exapted from
previously meaningful morphology. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So think of a morpheme that once meant something, becomes
semantically bleached, but then acquires a function as an
epenthetic element to meet minimality conditions or to avoid
vowel hiatus or something else. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand (from wikipedia) that /t/ in French
interrogatives comes from habet and could be an example of
this and the insertion of /n/ in English after 'a' determiner
#vowel is also an example. I'm wondering about more sources
on diachronic processes like these. Also any good sources on
the French and English processes would also be helpful.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>best,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
