- Title
Diachronic and Areal Aspects of Macedonian Hiatus Resolution.
- Authors
Dombrowski, Andrew
- Abstract
The article discusses hiatus resolution patterns in the Macedonian language. Particular focus is given to diachrony and areal features shared with neighboring regions in Albania and Greece. According to the author, Macedonian hiatus resolution strategies were most likely developed independently rather than spread from other regions. It is suggested that parallels between languages must be supported by evidence of temporal and geographical overlap to be proven to be the result of language contact and interference. Details on the Ohrid-Struga dialect group are presented. Other topics include synchrony and the contraction of heterogeneous VV sequences.
