The study is aimed at investigating differences of Amiyah Sudanese and Syrian Arabic lexical forms and meanings in the field of kitchen appliances.  It is a study of comparative historical linguistics that uses corpuses of both languages obtained from four Sudanese and Syrian native speaker students who utilize these tools in their everyday modern live. The authors collect the data by themselves applying their own compiled vocabulary list and Swadesh vocabulary list. The findings show that “kitchen appliances@ vocabularies in the Sudanese and Syrian are related to each other. This is evidenced by the the word pairs which (a) are identical or cooccurrence; (b) have a phonemic correspondence or recurrence; and (c) have phonetical similarity with one phoneme difference. In addition, the kitchen appliances usage changes too along with the need in identifying the new words or terms for the new kitchen appliances. It is concluded that the lexical form of Sudanese  and Syrian Arabic is systematically compatible, in terms of sound aspects; however sounds of the Sudanese language change in the Syrian vocabulary. Studi ini bertujuan menyelidiki perbedaan bentuk dan makna dari kosakata bahasa Amiyah Sudan dan bahasa Arab Suriah dalam kosakata dapur dan apa saja bentuk dan makna kata-kata majemuk dalam peralatan dapur ini. Penelitian ini merupakan kajian Linguistik Historis Komparatif dengan menggunakan data dari kedua bahasa tersebut yang diperoleh dari empat mahasiswa penutur jati Sudan dan Suriah yang menggunakan alat masak tersebut setiap hari di era modern. Data dikumpulkan dengan mengacu pada daftar kosakata bahasa Swadesh dan daftar kosakata lainnya. Penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa kosakata "peralatan dapur" di Sudan dan Suriah saling terkait. Ini dibuktikan dengan penemuan pasangan kata yang: (a) identik atau terjadi bersamaan (b) memiliki korespondensi fonemik, atau re-aliran fonemik (c) memiliki kesamaan fonetis, dan memiliki satu perbedaan fonem. Penggunaan peralatan dapur juga berubah dengan begitu banyak nama-nama peralatan dapur yang dibutuhkan juga berbeda. Bertumpu pada hasil pembahasan dapat disimpulkan bahwa bentuk leksikal dari Sudan dan Suriah secara sistematis kompatibel, dalam hal aspek suara, ada beberapa suara dari bahasa Sudan yang berubah dalam kosa kata bahasa Syria. تهدف هذه الدراسة  إلى البحث في كيفية اختلاف أشكال ومعاني المفردات العربية السودانية والسورية في المفردات المطبخية و أشكالها ومعانيها المركبة. و حصل الباحث البيانات من أربعة متحدثين سودانيين وسوريين وهم يستخدمون الادوات المطبخية كل يوم في العصر. يتغير استخدام الأدوات المطبخية مع وجود العديد من أسماء معدات المطابخ المطلوبة أيضًا. تم جمع البيانات باستخدام إشارة إلى قائمة المفردات Swadesh  وقوائم المفردات الأخرى التي جمعها المؤلف. تستخدم الدراسات اللغوية التاريخية المقارنة بيانات من اللغتين للمقارنة. أظهرت النتائج أن مفردات "أدوات المطبخ" في السودان وسوريا مترابطة. و يتضح هذا من خلال اكتشاف الكلمات الثنائية التي: (أ) متطابقة (ب) لها مراسلات صوتية، أو أن إعادة التدفق الصوتي (ج) لها أوجه تشابه صوتية، ولها اختلاف صوتي واحد. و بناءً على النتائج، يمكن أن يستنتج الباحث أن الشكل المعجمي للسودان وسوريا متوافق بشكل منهجي، من حيث الجوانب الصوتية، هناك بعض الأصوات من اللغة السودانية التي تتغير في المفردات السريانية.

This chapter uses two case studies to explore how historians study language movement and change through comparative historical linguistics. The first case study stands as a short chapter in the larger history of the expansion of Bantu languages across eastern, central, and southern Africa. It focuses on the expansion of proto-Kafue, ca. 950–1250, from a linguistic homeland in the middle Kafue River region to lands beyond the Lukanga swamps to the north and the Zambezi River to the south. This expansion was made possible by a dramatic reconfiguration of ties of kinship. The second case study explores linguistic evidence for ridicule along the Lozi-Botatwe frontier in the mid- to late 19th century. Significantly, the units and scales of language movement and change in precolonial periods rendered visible through comparative historical linguistics bring to our attention alternative approaches to language change and movement in contemporary Africa.

Over Time

The focus of this chapter is on how languages move and change over time and space. The perceptions of historical linguists have been shaped by what they were observing. During the flowering of comparative linguistics, from the late 19th into the 20th century, the dominant view was that in earlier times when people moved, their languages moved with them, often over long distances, sometimes fast, and that language change was largely internal. That changed in the second half of the 20th century. We now recognize that in recent centuries and millennia, most movements of communities and individuals have been local and shorter. Constant contact between communities resulted in features flowing across language boundaries, especially in crowded and long-settled locations such as most of Central and West Africa. Although communities did mix and people did cross borders, it became clear that language and linguistic features could also move without communities moving.

This article reports on the use of the Eighteenth-Century English Phonology Database (ECEP) as a teaching resource in historical sociolinguistics and historical linguistics courses at the University of Sheffield. Pronouncing dictionaries are an invaluable resource for students learning about processes of standardisation and language attitudes during the Late Modern English period (1700–1900), however they are not easy to use in their original format. Each author uses their own notation system to indicate their recommended pronunciation, while the terminology used to describe the quality of the vowels and consonants differs from that used today, and provides an additional obstacle to the student wishing to interrogate such sources. ECEP thus provides a valuable intermediary between the students and the source material, as it includes IPA equivalents for the recommended pronunciations, as well as any metalinguistic commentary offered by the authors about a particular pronunciation. This article demonstrates a teaching approach that not only uses ECEP as a tool in its own right, but also explores how it can be usefully combined with other materials covering language change in the Late Modern English period to enable students to undertake their own investigations in research-led courses.

Phonological Change

All levels of language analysis are prone to changes in their phonology, morphology, graphology, lexis, semantics and syntax over the years. Tiv language is not an exception to this claim. This study investigates various aspects of phonological or sound changes in Tiv language. This paper therefore classifies sound changes in Tiv; states causes of sound changes in Tiv and explores implications of sound changes. The research design used in this paper is purposive sampling of relevant data. The instrument used in this paper is the observation method in which the author selected words that showed epenthesis, deletion and substitution. It has been noted that the use of archaic spellings in the Modern Tiv literatures shows their ancientness. Phonological change is not a deviation but a sign of language growth and changes in spellings result in changes in sounds. The author recommends that scholars should write papers or critical works on lexical/morphological, syntactic, semantic, graphological changes in Tiv language. Students should write projects, dissertations and theses on language change and diachronic linguistics. This study introduces Tiv historical linguistics and diachronic phonology which serve as catalysts for the study of Tiv language. The understanding of Tiv sound change provides students with a much better understanding of Tiv phonological system in general, of how Tiv phonology works and how the phonemes fit together

Cross Fertilization

The relationship between “language change” and “language evolution” has recently become subject to some debate regarding the scope of both concepts. It has been claimed that while the latter used to refer to language origins in the first place, both terms can now, to a certain extent, be used synonymously. In this paper, I argue that this can partly be explained by parallel develop-ments both in historical linguistics and in the field of language evolution research that have led to a considerable amount of convergence between both fields. Both have adopted usage-based approaches and data-driven methods, which entails similar research questions and similar perspectives on the phenomena under investigation. This has ramifications for current models and theories of language change (or evolution). Two approaches in particular – the concept of com-plex adaptive systems and construction grammar – have been combined in integrated approaches that seek to explain both language emergence and language change over historical time. I discuss the potential and limitations of this integrated approach, and I argue that there is still some unex-plored potential for cross-fertilization.

Linguistic Input

The present chapter outlines a research program for historical linguistics based on the idea that the object of the formal study of language change should be defined as grammar change, that is, a set of discrete differences between the target grammar and the grammar acquired by the learner (Hale 2007). This approach is shown to offer new answers to some classical problems of historical linguistics (Weinreich et al. 1968), concerning, specifically, the actuation of changes and the observation that the transition from one historical state to another proceeds gradually. It is argued that learners are highly sensitive to small fluctuations in the linguistic input they receive, making change inevitable, while the impression of gradualness is linked to independent factors (diffusion in a speech community, and grammar competition). Special attention is paid to grammaticalization phenomena, which offer insights into the nature of functional categories, the building blocks of clause structure.

The Impact

Historical linguistics is a discipline with strong interdisciplinary connections to sociocultural anthropology, ethnohistory, and archaeology. While the study of language change and etymology can be traced back to ancient societies in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Asia, a number of important methodological approaches emerged in the late 18th century, when European scholars who were engaged in colonial administration set the foundations for research in Indo-European languages. Contemporary historical linguistics has maintained a focus on several large-scale questions, such as the origins of the language faculty; the classification and typology of the world’s languages; the time depth of major language changes; ancient writing systems; the impact of linguistic and cultural contacts on language change; the emergence of pidgins and creoles; the influence of colonial expansion and evangelization projects on language change; and the interface among literacy practices, language change, and the social order. This article outlines all of these important inquiries, with a particular stress on the sustained interaction among historical linguistics, anthropology, and ethnohistory. This survey has two focii: the first one is languages of the Americas, and the second one is ethnohistorical and philological methodology. This choice in focus conveys existing historical strengths and showcases our current knowledge about language contact and language change in the Americas.
