On Tesnière on the dual
Duals come and go almost everywhere, or have done so some time or other, but it is rare for such events to be chronicled so circumstantially as Lucien Tesnière did for Slovenian in his well-known chef-d'oeuvre of 1925. Tesniere's chief interest was to collect enough information to be able to chart comprehensively the dual's demise and partial renaissance in the varietie of Slovenian, dialectal as well as literary, and to identify the changes concerned as phonological, morphological (in particular analogical), or syntactic. Although he would sometimes compare Slovenian patterns and developments to others, especially Slavonic and Indo-European ones, he was reluctant to draw general conclusions from the particulars so amply at his disposal other than implicitly, occasionally hinting at "tendences" or "causes profondes" supposedly giving direction to the vagaries of phonetics and morphology
Why *-ling-in? : The pertinacity of a wrong gender
Co-occurrence restrictions among affixes are preferably accounted for through general structural constraints, to do with separations of word-internal domains, with hierarchical rankings of the affixes involved, with processing complexity, or with word-prosodic patterns. Disallowing particular designated affixes to combine with one another by (language-particular) stipulation is considered a theoretical option only to be taken as a last resort. Against this backdrop it is argued here that in the much-discussed German case of diminutive-pejorative-absolutive suffix -ling the preclusion of further derivational affixation, in particular suffixation with feminine motional -in, is not due to any such general constraint; rather, this must be recognised as an instance of an affix-specific selectional restriction of a morphosemantic kind. The chief theoretical interest of this particular case is diachronic. While inner suffix -ling, originally a semantically neutral nominalising suffix, was able to acquire a diminutive, pejorative, absolutive-aligned ("passive") semantics, its original gender remained masculine rather than changing to neuter, as would be semantically more suitable. Thus, with the outer, feminine-deriving suffix -in being sensitive to the gender of its nominal bases, nouns which are formally masculine, as required by -in suffixation, but on semantic grounds ought to be neuter are infelicitous.publishe
Quotiescumque : Greek Origin of a Latin Confessor’s Guide
The guidebook for confessors that is called after its first name ‘Quotiescumque’ was a
widespread text in the Middle Ages. One part of it, a priest’s preparatory prayer for hearing
one or more confessions, even still appears in a Ritual published at Würzburg in 1836. The
present study shows that this confessor’s guide is the Latin translation of a Greek model, with
the exception of two interpolations by a Latin author. This thesis is based on the fact that
there is also a Greek text of the priest’s prayer and Quotiescumque includes a rule on fasting
that can only have been written by a Greek author ... The purpose of my study is, first, to prove that the confessor’s guide Quotiescumque is the
Latin translation of a Greek text. Quotiescumque is called after its first word ‘Quotiescunque
(christianis qui ad paenitentiam accedunt ieiunia damus)’. The other aims of my book are: to
present the texts of the various sections of Quotiescumque, to explain these texts by analyzing
them and by adducing other texts that shed light upon those of the confessor’s guide and,
finally, to show the influence of the writing over an area including France, Germany and Italy,
and over a period of about 10 centuries
