Gender in Indo-European by Ranko Matasović Pdf

This book discusses the origin and history of the grammatical category of gender in the Indo-European family of languages. Gender systems of Proto-Indo-European (PIE), and of the various daughter languages are assessed from historical, typological, and areal points of view. In addition, common properties and tendencies (or drift) in the development of gender in different Indo-European branches are presented. The formal and semantic principles of gender assignment in PIE are examined on the basis of a reconstructed lexicon of PIE nouns, and the scope of gender agreement in the proto-language is reconstructed by comparing the agreement rules in the early Indo-European dialects. The Early PIE two-gender system and the development of the feminine gender in Late PIE are also discussed, and finally the PIE gender system is contrasted with the typologically rather different gender systems found in the neighboring areas of Eurasia.

Studies on the Collective and Feminine in Indo-European from a Diachronic and Typological Perspective by Sergio Neri,Roland Schuhmann Pdf

This volume contains thirteen contributions on the origin of the feminine gender and its relation to the collective in the Indo-European parent language. The Indo-European daughter languages have got mostly a three-gender system, however the early attested Anatolian languages owned only two genders. In this respect, it is debatable whether the feminine gender is primary or arose secondarily from another morphological category. Due to special morphological and morphosyntactic phenomena it is also questionable whether the neuter plural of the individual languages continues an inflectional category or it was rather grammaticalized from an original word formation category collective. The authors suggest different approaches on the question of the relationship between feminine and collective.

The Third Gender by Frederick W. Schwink Pdf

The 'Third Gender' treats the history and development of grammatical gender from Indo-European to Germanic and into the daughter languages. Grammatical gender has hitherto received only peripheral attention in histories of the Germanic languages. This relative neglect is unfortunate, for this nominal category holds the key to understanding the massive transformations that have occurred in the nominal systems of all the Indo-European languages, which Schwink claims are in considerable part due to problems arising out of the innovation of a 'third' gender, a feminine, disturbing the earlier classification of nouns into animate and inanimate. Gender offers clear evidence that Germanic represents an extremely archaic form of Indo-European. And understanding gender in a historical perspective allows us to draw together such disparate developments as found in Modern English, German, and Dutch and to show their essential similarity and relatedness.

The Nature and Origin of the Noun Genders in the Indo-European Languages by Karl Brugmann Pdf

Excerpt from The Nature and Origin of the Noun Genders in the Indo-European Languages: A Lecture Delivered on the Occasion of the Sesquicentennial Celebration of Princeton University The factors that produced changes in human speech five thousand or ten thousand years ago cannot have been essentially different from those which are now operating to transform living languages. On the basis of this principle we look to-day at a much-discussed problem of Indo-European philology with views very different from the views held by the founders of Comparative Philology and their immediate successors. I refer to the problem, how the Indo-European people came to assign gender to nouns, to distinguish between masculine, feminine, and neuter. This question is of interest to others besides philologists. What man of culture who has learned languages such as the Greek, Latin, or French has not at times wondered that objects which have no possible connection with the natural gender of animals appear constantly in the language as male or female?

Grammatical Change in Indo-European Languages by Vit Bubenik,John Hewson,Sarah Rose Pdf

The product of a group of scholars who have been working on new directions in Historical Linguistics, this book is focused on questions of grammatical change, and the central issue of grammaticalization in Indo-European languages. Several studies examine particular problems in specific languages, but often with implications for the IE phylum as a whole. Given the historical scope of the data (over a period of four millennia) long range grammatical changes such as the development of gender differences, strategies of definiteness, the prepositional phrase, or of the syntax of the verbal diathesis and aspect, are also treated. The shifting relevance of morphology to syntax, and syntax to morphology, a central motif of this research, has provoked lively debate in the discipline of Historical Linguistics.

Nominal Apposition in Indo-European by Brigitte L. M. Bauer Pdf

Nominal apposition—the combining of two equivalent nouns—has been a neglected topic in linguistics, despite its prominence in syntax and morphology in some languages. This book presents an extensive comparative and diachronic analysis of nominal apposition in Indo-European, examining its occurrence, characteristics and functions in early languages, identifying parallels with similar phenomena elsewhere, and tracing its evolution in Latin-Romance.
