Abstract
Hybrid grammar in a Macedonian dialect from Albania
Highlights
Македонская диалектная речь в р-не Голо Бордо (Gollobordë) в Албании изобилует не только глубокими славянскими архаизмами, но и прогрессивными балканскими инновациями, среди которых особенно ценны свидетельства прямого материального и структурного грамматического влияния албанского языка
As long as there are no sufficient and absolutely adequate historical and linguistic sources on natural and spontaneous Balkan language evolution in the last 1000 years, we have, generally speaking, only the contemporary linguistic results of language change that can be set against our knowledge about the proto-stages of some language families
The crux of the question is, how to make use of linguistic methods to account for and distinguish prior structural changes that have resulted from contact to those which have resulted from internal development
Summary
Македонская диалектная речь в р-не Голо Бордо (Gollobordë) в Албании изобилует не только глубокими славянскими архаизмами, но и прогрессивными балканскими инновациями, среди которых особенно ценны свидетельства прямого материального и структурного грамматического влияния албанского языка. One can observe the language contact in the community of the Muslim Gollobordas in Albania, where Slavic functions as L1 and Albanian as L2 (Sobolev, Novik 2013; Asenova 2016)2. Standard Albanian and to less extent the local Macedonian dialect are languages of wider communication in the region.
