[Lingtyp] Phonological segment borrowing in the world's languages

[Prof. Dr. Thomas Stolz]

  Dear Elad,

thank you very much for the very helpful update on your ongoing  
projects and publications. We have been conducting a sister-project  
with the focus on loan phonemes in Europe. Our book manuscript is in  
its (pre-)final stages now so that we are confident to publish it in  
early 2021. It is a study of phoneme borrowing which takes account of  
data from 210 European "doculects" (including regional varieties) for  
the quantitative part plus additionally some dozens of further  
doculects which are addressed only in the qualitative part of the  
book. The study is intended as an appetizer for our "big" project  
which goes by the name of /THE PHONOLOGICAL ATLAS OF EUROPE/. Here are  
the bibliographical coordinates:

Stolz, Thomas & Levkovych, Nataliya (with the assistance of Beke  
Seefried). 2021.
/Towards the Phonological Atlas of Europe.
The Areal Linguistics of Loan Phonemes in Europe/
(= Studia Typologica 28)
Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter.

Of course, we will arrange for your new contributions to be mentioned  
in the appropriate sections.

All the best. Thomas & Natasha

> Dear all,
>            In January, Ian Joo posted a question on this list  
> regarding phonemes in loanwords, which seems to have sparked some  
> interest. We already mentioned SegBo (Grossman, Eisen, Nikolaev and  
> Moran 2020a), the first large-scale cross-linguistic database of  
> phonological segment borrowing in the world's languages, which has  
> more than 1600 borrowed sounds documented in more than 500
>       languages.
>       However, I would now like to draw your attention to our  
> upcoming talk and other publications available:
>        
>       1. SLE talk about the notion of "borrowability" (Eisen,  
> Nikolaev, Grossman and Moran 2020). Our online session (for SLE  
> members) will take place on August 27th at 15:30 (GMT+2). The talk  
> itself is already publicly available (link below).
>        
>       2. Revisiting the Uniformitarian Hypothesis (Grossman, Eisen,  
> Nikolaev and Moran 2020b), a study in which we used SegBo in order  
> to detect recent changes in the typological frequencies of speech  
> sounds.
>        
>       3. My master's thesis (Eisen 2019) presents SegBo and its  
> data, and investigates the notion of "borrowability", the role of  
> features in the process of borrowing, and rhotic segment borrowing.  
> It is also available online (link below).
