THE ROLE OF CLITIC DOUBLING IN THE INFORMATION STRUCTURE OF THE ALBANIAN LANGUAGE
Orbis linguarum, 2023 This paper attempts to argue whether the repetition of the object or clitic doubling as a syntactic mechanism affects the encoding of the information structure in the Albanian language. In three previous studies by Kallulli (2000, 2008); Kapia (2010), it

Studia Linguistica, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 615-651, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Berber1 clitics are argued to follow the main verb but may appear in a position preceding the verb in the presence of a Complementiser, Negation or Tense. However, there are cases involving a subset of these categories yet the clitics still follow the verb.

Morphosyntactic Contact in Translation: Greek ídios and Latin proprius in the Bible
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 404-426, November 2023., 2023 Abstract We investigate the possibility that contact with Greek through the translation of biblical texts may have played a role in the development of Latin proprius ‘personal’, ‘peculiar’ into a reflexive possessive adjective. A few centuries earlier, post‐Classical Greek witnesses a similar development with the adjective ídios ‘private’, ‘personal ...

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. Historical data or reconstructions are typically used for that purpose. However, historical data is globally mostly unavailable, and reconstructions are laborious if comparing outcomes of language contact in a typological way.
