Qiang monosyllabization: a third phase in the cycle
The typical cyclical development in TB/ST can be diagrammed as follows: *(d)-0m4*(d). The proto-language was partly disyllabic because of the (normally) */a/ vocalized prefixes, a state symbolized by *(d), e.g. PTB *g-sum - *gesum 'three'. Throughout the language stock there has been a mar...

| description |
The typical cyclical development in TB/ST can be diagrammed as follows: *(d)-0m4*(d). The proto-language was partly disyllabic because of the (normally) */a/ vocalized prefixes, a state symbolized by *(d), e.g. PTB *g-sum - *gesum 'three'. Throughout the language stock there has been a marked tendency, first to reduce to a more uniformly monosyllabic state through loss or incorporation of the prefixes and, secondly, to return to the *(d) state through re-affixation and compounding, as perhaps best seen in modern (standard) Chinese, whichhasdisambig ted many of its simplified forms through a system of suffixes, e.g. 'duckl s-kap (Arch. Ch., with
1! kap as phonetic; cf. PL *gap)>/ap (Mid. Ch. ) yzi (atonal -zi, for z1 'child'( PTB/PST *tsaB). |
