Abstract:
This book is about the borrowing of inflectional morphemes in language
contact settings. This phenomenon has at all times seemed to be the most
poorly documented aspect of linguistic borrowing. Contact-induced
morphological change is not rare in word formation, but exceptional in
inflection. This study presents a deductive catalogue of factors
conditioning the probability of transfer of inflectional morphology from
one language to another and adduces empirical data drawn from Australian
languages, Anatolian Greek, the Balkans, Maltese, Welsh, and Rabic. By
reference to the most advanced theories of morphology, a thorough analysis
of the case studies is provided as well as a definition of inflectional
borrowing according to which inflectional borrowing must be distinguished
from mere quotation of foreign forms and is acknowledged only when
inflectional morphemes are attached to native words of the receiving languages.
Contents: contact-induced language change, contact induced morphological
change, problems and predictions, case studies, analysis, definition of
inflectional borrowing
Linguistic Field(s): Morphology

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your
financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
