Descrizione

Positional Effects in Sardinian Muta cum Liquida is a work of historical linguistics that deals with the phenomena that affect muta cum liquida clusters from Old Sardinian to modern Sardinian dialects, namely lenition, liquid deletion, and various metatheses. A multidisciplinary approach has been adopted that involves dialectological, philological, and theoretical perspectives. Attention has been paid to both the areal distribution of the various phenomena and their presence in six ancient Sardinian collections dating from the 11th to the 14th centuries. The database was then analyzed within the CVCV model (Lowenstamm 1996, Scheer 2004), a theoretical approach that explains structural changes as a result of the positional effects determined by government and licensing. Testo in lingua inglese.
