<p>Dear all,<br>
</p>
<p>While Martin talks of borrowing of pattern (i.e. calquing), I
have just recently become aware of a possible and rather strange,
even bizarre, borrowing of matter: English <i>once</i> (in its
use as 'as soon as') into Hebrew, [wans]. At first I thought this
was an instance of Hebrew/English code-switching in (mostly
academic) discussions; however, I have recently heard it a couple
of times in Hebrew-language conversations which didn't seem to be
likely venues for code-switching. It's certainly not common
usage; I wonder whether other speakers of Hebrew following this
exchange have noticed this.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, the usual Hebrew expression for 'as soon as'
is <i>be=regaʕ še= </i>(in=moment REL), which, unlike the common
"European substrate" languages for modern Hebrew, doesn't have a
'one' in it.</p>

And it is only in this exchange that I realize that German <i>Mal</i>
'time (in the sense of the French <i>fois</i>)' can be used in a
somewhat similar way, in the combination <i>zumal</i> (= <i>zu
Mal</i>):<br>
<br>
<i>Ich werde gehen, zumal du so früh gekommen bist.</i><br>
'I'll be leaving, as you came so early.'<br>
<br>
Maybe German also borrowed this from French in one way or another.
(But note that <i>zumal</i> only means '(in as much) as', i.e. it
only has a causal sense.)<br>
<br>
(There are so many similarities among European languages that seem
to be due to borrowing in one way or another...)<br>

</div>
<div>only in this exchange I realized that the Russian <i>раз</i>
'time' (in the sense of the French 'fois'), is used in a
syntactically similar construction but functionally
different construction as introducing cause complement
clauses:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>Раз ты пришел так рано, я пойду</i>.</div>
<div>As you came so early, I'll be leaving. (Lit. 'Time <a
href="http://you.sg" moz-do-not-send="true">you.sg</a>
come.Pst so early, I leave.Prs)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note that no numeral is used in these constructions,
unlike what the original query was looking for.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But is the French "Une fois que" not somewhat similar to
Russian in this respect, in that it is not (only) used in
the sense "as soon as" but also to introduce subordinate
clauses of cause? (And maybe English, too, once we're on
this). In fact, it would be good to check whether the
Russian construction is not a 19th century pattern copy from
French.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">I did not
mention English and other European
languages because in Mandarin and the
other Hmong-Mien languages I mentioned
before, the second clause appears with
another linker (lit. <i>on(c)e</i>........'(<i>and</i>)
<i>then</i>'). Accordingly, these
languages show some sort of correlative
construction. Based on the languages of
the sample, this usage of 'on(c)e' in a
correlative construction is not common
cross-linguistically. It seems that
Hmong-Mien languages have copied this
strategy with native material from
Mandarin. This is some sort of 'pattern
replication'. I was expecting to receive
more answers concerned with languages
spoken in this area in order to see if
these languages have also copied this
pattern from Mandarin.</div>
