Abstract
After briefly presenting and commenting on Saussure’s concept of diachronic change, the study shows the validity of one of his intuitions through the analysis of lazy concord phenomena in some Ladin dialects: a phonetic change, the loss of final -s before a consonant inside the noun phrase, not only restructured the rules for plural concord in feminine noun phrases, but also permitted the morphological expression of such syntactic relations that formerly had remained implicit, and introduced agglutinative features in a basically flectional language.
