Vr̥ddhi formations in Balto-Slavic

Rotter, Maja (author), Šekli, Matej (mentor), Repanšek, Luka (mentor), Villanueva Svensson, Miguel (co-mentor)

The aim of this MA thesis is to gather the potential vr̥ddhi formations in Baltic and Slavic languages, analyze them according to the methods of comparative linguistics and evaluate their plausibility and the diachronic stage in which they were created. The main criterion while searching for possible Bl.-Sl. vr̥ddhi formations is the ablaut of the root, which should either reflect an unexpected full grade or length and acute intonation, while simultaneously acknowledging possible different sources of the Balto-Slavic acute. The material is presented in sections ranging from “certain” to “probably incorrect” in the first part and the common characteristics of the formations identified as vr̥ddhi derivatives in individual diachronic stages (Proto-Indo-European, North-West Indo-European, Northern Indo-European, Balto-Slavic, Baltic and Slavic) are discussed in the second part of the thesis.

• Title: Vrddhirane tvorbe v balto-slovanščini

Abstract

Namen magistrskega dela je zbrati potencialne vrddhirane tvorbe v baltskih in slovanskih jezikih, jih analizirati po metodah primerjalnega jezikoslovja ter oceniti njihovo verjetnost in diahrono stopnjo, v kateri so nastale. Glavno merilo pri iskanju možnih baltoslovanskih vrddhiranih tvorb je prevoj korena, ki naj bi odražal bodisi nepričakovano polno stopnjo bodisi dolžino in akut, ob upoštevanju različnih možnih virov baltoslovanskega akuta. Gradivo je v prvem delu predstavljeno v sklopih od "gotovih tvorb" do "verjetno napačnih", v drugem delu pa so obravnavane skupne značilnosti vrddhiranih tvorb v posameznih diahronih fazah (praindoevropščina, severozahodna indoevropščina, severna indoevropščina, baltoslovanščina, baltščina in slovanščina).
