Title: | Musk deer are inherited: the reconstruction of the onset *t.ɬj- in Proto-Gyalrongic | Authors: | Lai, Yunfan | Keywords: | Arts and Humanities | Issue Date: | 2024 | Source: | Lai, Y. (2024). Musk deer are inherited: the reconstruction of the onset *t.ɬj- in Proto-Gyalrongic. Journal of Historical Linguistics. https://dx.doi.org/10.1075/jhl.24014.lai | Project: | NAP-024576-00001 | Journal: | Journal of Historical Linguistics | Abstract: | This paper explores a rare sound correspondence pattern found in Gyalrongic languages, focusing on two etyma: ‘musk deer’ and ‘valley’. The reflexes in daughter languages exhibit different onsets, including palatals, alveolars, and laterals, which renders their genetic relationship non- obvious. Despite its significance, this correspondence pattern has been largely overlooked and insufficiently reconstructed. In this study, I propose a novel reconstruction of the onset, namely *t.ɬj-, elucidating the distinct reflexes observed in different sub-branches. Through this analysis, I demonstrate that both etyma have Sino-Tibetan origins. Additionally, the paper emphasises the importance of studying correspondences with limited examples and discusses the broader implications of such research for other domains. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/181596 | URL: | https://benjamins.com/catalog/jhl.24014.lai | ISSN: | 2210-2116 | DOI: | 10.1075/jhl.24014.lai | Schools: | School of Humanities | Departments: | Linguistics and Multilingual Studies | Rights: | © 2024 John Benjamins Publishing Company.
