Adjarian's law, the Glossary

Index Adjarian's law

Adjarian's law is a sound law relating to the historical phonology of the Armenian language: in certain dialects, initial-syllable vowels are fronted after the consonants which reflect the inherited Proto-Indo-European (PIE) voiced aspirates.[1]

Absolute dating

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology.

See Adjarian's law and Absolute dating

Advanced and retracted tongue root

In phonetics, advanced tongue root (ATR) and retracted tongue root (RTR) are contrasting states of the root of the tongue during the pronunciation of vowels in some languages, especially in Western and Eastern Africa, but also in Kazakh and Mongolian.

See Adjarian's law and Advanced and retracted tongue root

Armenian language

Armenian (endonym) is an Indo-European language and the sole member of the independent branch of the Armenian language family.

See Adjarian's law and Armenian language

Breathy voice

Breathy voice (also called murmured voice, whispery voice, soughing and susurration) is a phonation in which the vocal folds vibrate, as they do in normal (modal) voicing, but are adjusted to let more air escape which produces a sighing-like sound.

See Adjarian's law and Breathy voice

Classical Armenian

Classical Armenian (meaning "literary "; also Old Armenian or Liturgical Armenian) is the oldest attested form of the Armenian language.

See Adjarian's law and Classical Armenian

Consonant voicing and devoicing

In phonology, voicing (or sonorization) is a sound change where a voiceless consonant becomes voiced due to the influence of its phonological environment; shift in the opposite direction is referred to as devoicing or desonorization.

See Adjarian's law and Consonant voicing and devoicing

Distinctive feature

In linguistics, a distinctive feature is the most basic unit of phonological structure that distinguishes one sound from another within a language.

See Adjarian's law and Distinctive feature

Glottalic theory

The glottalic theory is that Proto-Indo-European had ejective or otherwise non-pulmonic stops,, instead of the plain voiced ones, as hypothesized by the usual Proto-Indo-European phonological reconstructions.

See Adjarian's law and Glottalic theory

Grimm's law

Grimm's law, also known as the First Germanic Sound Shift, is a set of sound laws describing the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) stop consonants as they developed in Proto-Germanic in the first millennium BC, first discovered by Rasmus Rask but systematically put forward by Jacob Grimm. Adjarian's law and Grimm's law are sound laws.

Hrachia Acharian

Hrachia Acharian (Հրաչեայ Աճառեան, reformed spelling: Հրաչյա Աճառյան; 8 March 1876 – 16 April 1953) was an Armenian linguist, lexicographer, etymologist, and philologist.

Karabakh dialect

The Karabakh dialect (Ղարաբաղի բարբառ, Ġarabaġi barbař), also known as Artsakh dialect (Արցախի բարբառ, Arc'axi barbař) is an ancient Eastern Armenian dialect with a unique phonetic and syntactic structure mainly spoken in the Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh and partially in the southern and northeastern parts of the Republic of Armenia, i.e.

Karchevan

Karchevan (Կարճևան) is a village in the Meghri Municipality of the Syunik Province in Armenia.

Musalar, Feke

Musalar is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Feke, Adana Province, Turkey.

Proto-Armenian language

Proto-Armenian is the earlier, unattested stage of the Armenian language which has been reconstructed by linguists.

See Adjarian's law and Proto-Armenian language

Proto-Indo-European phonology

The phonology of the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) has been reconstructed by linguists, based on the similarities and differences among current and extinct Indo-European languages.

See Adjarian's law and Proto-Indo-European phonology

Sound change

A sound change, in historical linguistics, is a change in the pronunciation of a language.

See Adjarian's law and Sound change

Transphonologization

In historical linguistics, transphonologization (also known as rephonologization or cheshirization, see below) is a type of sound change whereby a phonemic contrast that used to involve a certain feature X evolves in such a way that the contrast is preserved, yet becomes associated with a different feature Y.

See Adjarian's law and Transphonologization

Western Armenian

Western Armenian is one of the two standardized forms of Modern Armenian, the other being Eastern Armenian.
