Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 513-545, November 2023., 2023 Abstract When linguists make inferences about language contact, control data is required for reliable analysis.

Structural persistence as an explanatory factor in synchrony and diachrony*
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 299-319, July 2022., 2022 Abstract In this paper, we look at examples of linguistic change in which the structure associated with the original element can help us understand aspects of both the diachronic process and the synchronic outcome of change. We first consider a range of phenomena that have resisted formal analysis because they show mixed‐category behaviour.
