PREFACE

The present volume is the t h i r d in the series forming a Compar a t i v e Grammar of the Romance Languages. The f i r s t (Hall 1974) dealt with t h e i r "external h i s t o r y , " i . e . the conditions under which they developed, were used, and ( i n some instances) went out of use. The second (Hall 1976) treated the phonology of t h e i r common source, Proto-Romance, as i t can be reconstructed on the basis of the languages themselves and in comparison with Classical L a t i n . S i m i l a r l y , t h i s volume deals with the reconstructed morphology of Proto-Romance. I t i s hoped to present, in future v o l umes, the syntax of Proto-Romance and i t s lexicon. In t h i s f a shion, l i g h t i s cast, not only on Popular Latin speech by means of i t s surviving elements in the Romance languages, but also on the extent to which the comparative method can be regarded as v a l i d and useful in instances where no attestations are available f o r a language as closely related to the reconstructed proto-language as High Classical Latin was to Proto-Romance. In the preparation of t h i s , as of the two previous volumes of the s e r i e s , I have of course drawn upon the great mass of work done by over a century of our predecessors i n Romance l i n g u i s t i c s and philology, and above a l l on the great foundation l a i d by W. Meyer-Lübke in his Romanische Grammatik (1890-1900) and i n his Romanisches

wörterbuch

(191]; t h i r d e d i t i o n ,

1936). I am also indebted to reviewers of Hall 1974 and 1976 f o r positive suggestions, and to my wife Alice M. Colby-Hall f o r valuable discussion of the problems involved in Romance l i n g u i s t i c s and philology. R.A.H. Jr.

A NOTE ON TRANSCRIPTION

In this volume, as in the preceding two volumes of this series, our phonemic transcription differs somewhat from that which is cus tomary in Romance philological works. For typographical conveni ence, we use a free-standing circumflex /^/ following a vowelletter to indicate a phonological component of tenseness, and a free-standing raised dot /•/ for vowel-length. Indication of open ness (often made with a hook under the vowel-letter, e.g. e, 9) and of shortness (often made with a breve over the vowel-letter, as in ) has been omitted as unnecessary. Those who do not like the transcription used here are free to replace it with the customary dot under the vowel-letter or hook over it, and with the customary macron or breve, as shown in the following tables: Our transcription

INTRODUCTION

1. MORPHOLOGY IN LINGUISTIC STRUCTURE

1.0. The Rôle of Morphology There are very few languages in which all words have the same phonological shape in every instance of their occurrence. In the languages with which most of us have regular contact — Indo-Euro pean, Semitic, Finno-Ugric, or even Basque or the Caucasian tongues — variation in minimum free forms ("words") is normal. In some instances, such variation does not convey a difference in meaning, as in, for instance, the alternation of English an before vowels with a before consonants. In others (perhaps the majori ty), a difference in form signals a change in meaning, as in wellknown instances like man

men,

sing

sang

sung.

These differences in form are the object of the branch of both descriptive and historical linguistics termed M O R P H O L O G Y . It is independent of (though not unrelated to) both phonology and syn tax. The former deals with the "articulation" of language which involves phonological units, meaningless in themselves but serving as the "building-blocks," as it were, of elements of the other, or meaningful, articulation. Morphological complexity varies from one language to another, but the rôle of such variation is always to signal one type of patterned difference in meaning or another within minimum free forms. In this, it is fundamentally different from syntactic variation, which signals semantic differences be tween longer combinations involving at least one free form plus either further free forms or else forms which are bound on the phrasal or clausal "level." Of course, in a great many instances one language will signal a given change in meaning by morphologi cal variation, whereas another will signal the same change by syn tactic means. Trite examples are Latin homo '(a) man" hominis 'of (a) man' (morphological variation), as contrasted with French un homme 'a man' d'un homme 'of a man' (syntactic variation). This well-known phenomenon does not, however, invalidate the basic distinction between morphology and syntax, nor the necessity of keeping them apart.1 1.1. Types of Morphological Variation In the Romance languages, as in the Indo-European family in gen eral, we may distinguish fairly sharply between two types of vari ation in linguistic form: I N F L E C T I O N and D E R I V A T I O N . 2 Inflection al variations serve to relate linguistic forms to each other in

2

INTRODUCTION

syntactic combinations, or else (as in vocatives) to indicate spe cifically the absence of further syntactic relationships. The form-classes of Romance, like those of other Indo-European langua ges, are determined by a combination of morphological and syntac tic criteria. Romance substantives, for instance, normally show variations for grammatical gender, number, and (in Proto-Romance and some of its descendants) case. At the same time, their syn tactic functions include (among others) those of acting as sub jects ( P R O T A G O N I S M ) and objects of verbs and objects of preposi tions ( C O M P L E M E N T A T I O N ) . These two types of criteria serve to establish Romance formclasses exhaustively. Derivational variations, on the other hand, play no part in the determination of syntactic relations or of form-classes. Rather, in conjunction with other linguistic el ements (bases), they act as formants for the derivation of further items, all of which belong to one or another inflectional formclass. Both inflection and derivation take place, in Romance, primarily through the grammatical processes of suffixation and prefixation, with morphophonemic alternation playing, for the most part, a secondary and non-significant role (cf. §1.4). 1.2. The Reconstruction of Morphology For us to set up a given form in a reconstructed proto-language, the following types of consistent correspondences3 must be discoverable (or clearly identifiable reasons, e.g. analogical re-formation, for the absence of correspondence must be given) between: A. Sounds; B. Morphological classes (parts of speech); C.

Syntactic functions;

D.

Meanings.

Only if all four of these criteria are met, can the existence of a reconstructed form be considered to have been plausible. We can ascribe a form to Proto-Romance if a consistent set of correspondences, of all four of the types just discussed, is pre sent either: a. In Sardinian and/or Roumanian, and one or more of the lan guages of the Italo-Western group (cf. Hall 1974:9-16); or b. In any one of the three groups just mentioned and in at tested Latin (whether Old or Classical). In either of the circumstances just mentioned, the presence of

corresponding forms normally justifies the assumption that they must have existed, not only in our documentation, but also in intervening periods of popular speech. In determining the probable characteristics of the morphology of a reconstructed proto-language, we must proceed in a somewhat different fashion from that used in reconstructing phonological features. For the latter, it is possible to use primarily rootmorphemes in which little or not analogical fluctuation is present (see the comparative tables presented in Volume 2 of this series). Phonetic change over the centuries is, in general, the orime fac tor to be taken into account in phonological reconstruction. In morphology, however, and especially in inflection, the factor of analogy enters — often extensively — into the change of inflec tional and derivational elements and into their distribution throughout the system. Considerable caution is therefore advisa ble in ascribing to a proto-language any features of inflection which do not show wide-spread correspondences throughout the group of related languages. This is especially true for Romance verbs, which have a large number of inflected forms that are highly likely to influence each other's development. On the other hand, if a given form shows a particular irregu larity which is shared by corresponding forms in a group of rela ted languages, this is a good indication that the irregularity was present in the proto-language as well. 4 Thus, in Old North French, the word for 'man' was /όma/ in the oblique singular and /om/ in the nominative singular; and, similarly, Old South French (Provençal) had /ómne/ and / ό m / respectively. Italian, although it has no case-variation, has the form /uόmo/ 'man' in the singu lar, and /uόmini/ 'men' in the plural, corresponding exactly to Roumanian /om/, /oamenV respectively. These irregularities point back to the existence of a Proto-Romance word for 'man' having two stems, /όmo/ and /o'min-A the former serving as nomi native singular, and the latter occurring as a base in all other functions. This observation helps us, in turn, to interpret such forms as Spanish /όmbre/ (Old Spanish /omne/), Portuguese /όm / (Old Portuguese /όm e / ) , clearly from /o'min-/. We would be able to interpret the material in this way even if we were not able to "look in the back of the book," as it were, and discover that Latin had /homo-/ m.sg.nom., and /homin-/ as a base for other forms. 1.3.

Morphology and Syntax

In recent decades, there has been extensive discussion of the relation between morphology (especially inflection) and syntax. The proponents of one extreme position5 maintain that it is ne cessary to present a complete descriptionand analysis of mor pheme-classes (inflection) before proceeding to syntax, since (they argue) the latter depends on the former. At the opposite extreme, others6 reverse the argument entirely, considering syn-

4

INTRODUCTION

tax as primary and morphology as derived therefrom at a "lower" level of structure. Neither of these positions, in the extreme form, is tenable. In all probability, the appropriate order of description will be determined independently for each separate language or language-family, by its specific characteristics, ra ther than by abstract a priori considerations. For the more con servative Romance languages, as for Indo-European in general, the traditional order of inflection first, syntax later, is best, since so much of syntax is correlated with the form-classes in volved and is best described after these latter have been identi fied and expounded. For modern French, on the other hand, as for modern English, syntactical features are at least considerably more important than in more conservative varieties and must be given correspondingly greater weight. Since our discussion is concerned primarily with what can be reconstructed for Proto-Romance (by definition the most conservative of all Romance varie ties), we shall treat morphology in this volume and syntax in Vo lume 4. 1.4.

Morphophonemic Alternations

In many instances, elements which should be classified toge ther as variants of the same unit of linguistic form (i.e. as A L LOMORPHS of the same M O R P H E M E ) show a variation in their phono logical shape. Thus, in Spanish and Italian, the vowel / e / mani fest in, say, the unstressed verb-root /ten-/ 'hold' is replaced in certain stressed forms by /ie7, as in /tiene/ 'he, she, it holds'. Here we have an alternation between /e/ and /ié/, of the type termed M O R P H O P H O N E M I C , since it involves the relationship between phonemes in morphemes. A morphophonemic alternation can be formulated concisely by using the symbol 'alternates with' — e.g., in this instance, /e/ /ié/. The phonemes involved in such an alternation can be classi fied together as forming part of a single M O R P H O P H O N E M E , for which a single cover-symbol (such as a capital letter) can be used and enclosed between upright lines: in this instance, |E| = /e/ /ié/. This typographical practice enables us to use a single morphophonemic transcription for a morpheme inclusive of such variants as we care to include in our definition of the mor phemes involved, as in |tEn-| = /ten-/ /tien-/. Many orthogra phical "irregularities" in the conventional spellings of such languages as English or French are morphophonemic in nature. Thus, the "1iaison-consonants" -s and -t of modern French stand for alternations'of final / z / and /t/ respectively with zero, as in il dort = /ildor/ in /ildorbj / il dort bien 'he sleeps well' as opposed to /ildort/ in /ildortãkor/ il dort encore 'he is still sleeping'. Morphophonemic alternation can be either significant, i.e. con veying in itself a difference in meaning, or non-significant. In some languages, such as English, many such alternations are sig-

nificant, as in sing (basic form of the verb) sang (past) sung (past participle) song (noun). In other instances in English, morphophonemic alternations are not in themselves signi ficant: thus |F| = /f/ /v/ is not significant in /najf/ knife (sg.) /nájvz/ knives (pl.). Most Romance morphophonemic alter nations are of the latter type, as in the example of |tEn-| just given. Modern Romance morphophonemic alternations have arisen from conditioned sound-changes in the history of the individual lan guages. The most wide-spread types of modern Romance morphopho nemic alternations will therefore be discussed in Chapter 12 ("Ear ly Developments in Romance"). Such morphophonemic alternations as are to be ascribed to Proto-Romance morphology (e.g. /a/ /eˆ in /fak-/ 'do', imperfective, versus /feˆk-/, perfective, are not frequent enough to warrant special symbolization, and will be treated under the individual forms in which they occur. 1.5.

Classical Latin and Romance Morphology

It has been maintained (e.g. by Mańczak 1977) that Romance is to be derived directly from Classical Latin, without our needing to set up any common ancestral stage for the Romance languages dis tinct from Classical Latin, whether we call it "Vulgar Latin," "Proto-Romance," or anything else. Such an extreme position is untenable, on both negative and positive grounds: A. The Romance languages show no trace of a great many fea tures that were very common in Classical Latin, such as the entire passive voice (and hence the category of deponents), the future tense, and most of the non-finite forms (infinitives, participles) — to limit our examples to verb-inflection and -derivation alone. B. The Romance languages manifest a number of features which were avoided as much as possible in Classical Latin, such as the noun- and adjective-forming suffix / áriu-/ '(person, thing) con nected with ... ', or the extreme ease of formation of first-con jugation verbs on noun-bases (cf. Cooper 1895, passim). That Proto-Romance as it can be reconstructed from the evidence of later Romance was closely related to Classical Latin seems (des pite the arguments of Leonard 1978) beyond question. The situation was undoubtedly similar to that of large modern speech-communities, involving what Hockett (1978:322-325) has termed an "L-complex," with moderate varieties in the middle being mutually intelligible, but with non-intelligibility prevailing between the extremes. Some concern has been caused by the term GRACCHAN L A T I N which I proposed (Hall 1974:16, 71) for the stage immediately preceding the first split between popular and literary Latin. Those who are un happy with the expression Gracchan Latin may perhaps be mollified if we use, instead, E A R L Y C L A S S I C A L L A T I N for the period from

PROTO-ROMANCE INFLECTION

MORPHOLOGICAL AND SYNTACTIC CRITERIA

Categories of Inflection

In the Indo-European languages (and hence in Romance), the various form-classes or "parts of speech" are determined, as we have just seen, on the basis of both morphological and syntactic characteristics. The morphological characteristics involved fall into "categories of inflection," which, in some instances, convey distinctions in meaning by variation in form. In other instan ces, they are purely or partially formal, having no semantic cor relates1 or only incomplete ones. In Romance, there are six principal categories of inflection which serve to distinguish the several parts of speech: gender, case, number, person, tense, and mood. 2.21. G E N D E R . There is considerable confusion, in almost all grammatical discussion as well as in popular parlance, between the terms G E N D E R and S E X - R E F E R E N C E . In the latter, a variation in inflectional forms is correlated with variation in the physi 2 cal sex of the referent, as in the English pronouns he, she, it. Gender, on the other hand, is a purely grammatical phenomenon. It involves obligatory agreement, in one formal respect or ano ther, between the elements of a construction in which one element modifies another—usually, but not exclusively, an adjective and the noun it modifies. A grammatical gender is a C O N C O R D A N C E C L A S S , i.e. a group into which fall those forms which are requi red to vary in a given way when they are combined, as attributes or heads, with certain forms of another part of speech. From traditional grammar, we are accustomed to regarding the three grammatical genders of M A S C U L I N E , F E M I N I N E , and N E U T E R as normal. This division is valid for inflectionally conservative Indo-European languages such as Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, or Rus sian. In some non-Indo-European languages, e.g. those of the Ba ntu family, there can be as many as twenty or more concordanceclasses.3 For no Romance language (including reconstructed Proto-Romance), however, need we set up more than two grammatical genders. These might just as well be called "blue" and "orange," or "A" and "B"; but, since most (not all) terms referring to males fall into the one, and most referring to females fall into the other, we can retain the traditional terms M A S C U L I N E and F E M I N I N E provided we understand that the sex-reference involved is only partial and is not the essential factor in the distinction

between the grammatical genders.4 The wide-spread use of the term N E U T E R for certain phenomena in Portuguese, Spanish, and Roumanian is unjustified. This category in Ibero-Romance is bet ter termed "abstract" (e.g. Spanish lo 'the matter, that which is ... ', esto 'this matter', eso 'that matter'), and does not derive historically from the Latin neuter.5 The Roumanian "neu ter" nouns are, from the inflectional point of view, simply A M B I GENES, i.e. they belong to one gender in the singular and to the other in the plural.6 2.12. CASE. Morphologically speaking, the term C A S E refers to a variation in form which signals the syntactic relation of an item to other items in a given type of construction.7 All Romance languages manifest distinctions of case in their pronominal sys tems (except for Romance-based creoles), and some (Roumanian, Old South and North French, together with relics in Old Sardinian, Rhaeto-Romance, and Franco-Provencal) in substantival inflection is well. The following case-distinctions are found: 1. N O M I N A T I V E , used primarily to indicate the protagonst ("subject," §2.22) of a predication (§2.21); as an attribute n a predicate (§2.23); as a citation-form, to tell what a person or object is called (whence the term N O M I N A T I V E or "naming-form"); and, when there is no separate vocative-form (cf. the next paragraph), to call or apostrophize some-one or something. 2. V O C A T I V E , used to call or apostrophize some-one or omething, and normally not modifying other elements of an utternce, but forming a separate minor clause. 3. G E N I T I V E (possessive), used in attributive relationhip (§2.23) to a noun — or, less frequently, as complement in a erbal phrase, §2.24), indicating a close relationship, especialy that of a possessor to a thing possessed, or (when modifying a erbal noun) the direct object of the action referred to by the erb-root; also as object of certain prepositions. 4. D A T I V E , normally used as complement in a verbal hrase (§2.24), indicating the person or thing to whom something is given or for whose benefit something is done ("indirect object"); or, on occasion, as object of certain prepositions such a PRom. /a(d)/ 'to'. 5. O B L I Q U E or "general" case, fulfilling on occasion the functions of the vocative, genitive, or dative (nos. 2-4 above), and also that of "direct object" complement of a verb (§2.24) and after many prepositions. 6. P A R T I T I V E , an inflection which certain Italian and ¡turian dialectal forms require us to reconstruct for Proto-Romance, derived from the Latin ablative and referring to substances (e.g. wheat, iron, etc.) viewed as masses rather than as sin-

NUMBER. In the earlier stages of the Indo-European lan guages, there were three numbers manifested in both substantival and verbal inflection: singular (referring to one), dual (two), and plural (more than two). The Romance languages, however, have only a contrast between singular (one) and plural (more than one), with no trace of a special dual inflection.9 The Ro mance singular normally refers to a single person or thing, but in a few instances it may refer to an indefinite number (as in Span. /d θe/ dice 'people say, it is said'. Similarly, the plu ral in Romance refers to either a specific number or an indefin ite number, but always more than one — never, as in modern Eng lish, to a single undefined person ("if somebody telephones, tell them ... " ) . 2.14. P E R S O N . This category refers to the distinction between the speaker, alone or together with others (first person singul ar and plural, respectively); the one or ones spoken to (second person singular and plural); and some person(s) or thing(s) which is/are neither the speaker nor the person spoken to (third person singular and plural). The third person singular, being unmarked for either person or number, is the natural form for impersonal reference, e.g. in verbs denoting meteorological phe nomena such as PRom« /piό it/ 'it rains', /tonat/ 'it thunders'. 2.15. T E N S E . In traditional grammatical discussion, this term corresponds to Fr. temps, Span. tiempo, It. tempo, etc. 'time', and refers to difference with respect to the time of the action (present, past, future). For discussing Romance phenomena, how ever, it is better to extend the meaning of the term T E N S E be yond simple time-reference, to include also the distinctions commonly termed M O O D and A S P E C T . A T E N S E , for Romance, is best defined as 'a set of verbal forms differing in their person- and number-reference but having the same reference to time, mood, and/or aspect'. Verbal forms belonging to tenses (hence, by definition, in flected for person and number) are called FINITE; those not hav ing such inflection are N O N - F I N I T E . The latter normally belong to other parts of speech than the verb-root on which they are based, and, descriptively speaking, their formation should be treated under derivation rather than inflection. It must be re membered, however, that in the course of linguistic change there are extensive cross-currents of influence between finite and non-finite forms (especially, in Romance, past absolutes and past participles). 2.2.

Distinctive Syntactic Functions The syntactic functions which serve to distinguish inflec-

9

10


tional classes are: predication, protagonism, attribution, com plementation, substitution, introduction, and connection. 2.21. P R E D I C A T I O N is the' function of making a statement con cerning a situation, and is normally fulfilled in Romance lan guages by a verb (usually, though not always, a finite one). The section of the utterance containing such a verb as its principal element is the P R E D I C A T E . In the more conservative Romance lan guages, the central element of the major or favorite clause-type is the predicate, with a finite verb whose person- and numberreference can stand alone (being made clear 10by the non-linguis tic environment), or can (in most instances ) be amplified by the optional addition of a subject (see the next paragraph). 2.22. P R O T A G O N I S M is the indication of the topic or P R O T A G O N I S T of an utterance on which a predicate comments and to which it refers minimally by the person and number of the verb. In the earlier-attested Indo-European languages and likewise in conser vative varieties of Romance, a predicate can stand alone with no further indication of its protagonist (normally when this latter is clear from the linguistic or non-linguistic context). The person- and number-reference of the verb can be further explica ted by a noun or pronoun, normally (where case-distinctions are present) in the nominative; the element which thus explicates the predicate, and whose person, number, and case are determined by it, is the S U B J E C T of the clause. 2.23. A T T R I B U T I O N ( M O D I F I C A T I O N ) is the function exercised by a form when it is combined with another in a construction and its position and/or grammatical shape is determined by the form with which it is combined, i.e. with which it A G R E E S . Thus, in Span./eipapéibiánko/ el papel blanco 'the white paper' and /lakasabiánka/ l a casa blanca 'the white house', the definite ar ticle /el la/ 'the' and the adjective /blanko -a/ 'white' are in attributive relation to the nouns /papel/ papel 'paper' (m.) and /kasa/ casa 'house' (f.) respectively, and their position, number, and grammatical gender are determined by this fact. Here, the definite article and the adjective are attributes of their respective nouns, and M O D I F Y them (DEPEND on them, are D E P E N D E N T on them). 2.24. C O M P L E M E N T A T I O N is the function exercised by elements at tached to a verb, which (in traditional terminology) C O M P L E M E N T it. The various types of verbal complements include: 1. Objects (nouns or pronouns), both direct (normally, when case-distinctions are present, in the oblique case [§2.12.5], and in some Romance languages introduced by a prepo sition 11 ); and indirect (marked by the dative case, §2.12.4). 2. Predicate adjectives or nouns, normally in the nomi native, and referring to the protagonist of the situation indi-

MORPHOLOGICAL AND SYNTACTIC CRITERIA

11

cated by the verb, hence limiting protagonism to the number of the predicate noun or adjective and also to the grammatical gen der of the adjective, as in Old Sardinian /solusiokkísi/ solus l ' o c k i s i 'I [m.] alone killed him'. If a noun or pronoun sub ject explicating the protagonist is present, its number and gen der is similarly limited by the consideration just mentioned. 3. Other complements, usually termed ADVERBIALl. These may be either single forms (adverbs or other parts of speech functioning as adverbs), phrases (usually exocentric, introduced by prepositions) or clauses. Such complements indicate aspects of the situation which the hearer or reader is to take into con sideration as relevant to whatever the verb tells him. 2.25. S U B S T I T U T I O N . Certain forms act as S U B S T I T U T E S for others, thereby avoiding the necessity of repeating elements al ready known to the hearer or reader from preceding utterances or the non-linguistic context. The element replaced is the A N T E C E D E N T of the substitute-form, and the semantic reference of the substitute to its antecedent is termed A N A P H O R A . The best-known substitutes are of course the PRONOUNS (of various types: perso nal, interrogative, relative, demonstrative, indefinite). The Romance languages have also developed other types of substitutes. Among these are the P R O - P H R A S E S , which take the place of phrases introduced by certain prepositions (e.g. French /i/ y and /ã(n)/ en), and the P R O - P R E D I C A T E - C O M P L E M E N T , which replaces a predi cate adjective or noun, or certain types of adverbial comple ments (e.g. the invariable French /l(ə)/ le, Spanish and Italian /lo/

lo).

2.26. I N T R O D U C T I O N . The function of certain forms is to precede others (whether single or in longer sequence) and introduce them while indicating the way in which they are related, both gramma tically to the rest of the utterance and semantically to the si tuation. Forms which thus introduce phrases are P R E P O S I T I O N S (e.g. PRom. /a(d)/ 'to', /per/ 'for'; the element following a preposition is its O B J E C T . Forms introducing clauses are termed C O N J U N C T I O N S . If they introduce clauses which have an equal function with other clauses in the utterance, they are C O O R D I N A TORS or COORDINATING conjunctions. If, however, they introduce clauses which are included ("embedded") in larger constructions and which are thereby subordinate to some other element of an utterance, they are S U B O R D I N A T O R S or S U B O R D I N A T I N G conjunctions. 2.27. C O N N E C T I O N . Certain elements, which are not conjunctions in that they do not introduce only clauses, are used to connect two or more elements, normally of the same form-class and func tion, thus forming universal combination-types (e.g. PRom. /et/ 'and', /a t/ 'or'. These elements, often termed "coordinating conjunctions," are better termed CONNECTORS. 2.28.

MINOR-CLAUSE FUNCTION.

Certain forms are normally used

12


alone to form minor clauses, or are only rarely included in lar ger constructions. Of this type are, not only interjections (exclamations), but also vocatives and expressions used for greeting and leave-taking (e.g. modern Italian /cao/ ciao 'hi!; good-bye!') and indications of assent or denial. 2.3. Classification of Forms Using the criteria set forth in §2.2, we can establish the inflectional form-classes of Proto-Romance as shown in Table I. To emphasize the fact that these classes are to be arrived at purely inductively on the basis of their morphological and syn tactic characteristics, they are referred to in the table only by letters and superscript numerals. The equivalence of these letters and numerals with our generally accepted grammatical terms is as follows: A A1 A2 B C D D1 D2 D3 D4 D5

Substantives Nouns Adjectives Pronouns Verbs Indeclinables Adverbs Prepositions Conjunctions Coordinators Interjections and other minor-clause-forms

In our discussion, we shall use the traditional terms, but it must be understood at all times that we are defining them by the criteria discussed in this chapter and summarized in Table I, rather than by the.customary vague characterizations such as "a noun is the name of a person, place, or thing."

this is attached is an adjective used attributively"; cf. Hall 1943a:25. 2. Cf. Hall 1951. English nouns and pronouns (pace Hockett 1958:231-233 and many others) have no grammatical gender; and we have the inflectional category of sex-reference in our thirdperson singular pronouns and possessives, and nowhere else. 3.

Cf. Gray 1939:190.

4. We need think only of the arbitrary assignment of grammatical gender to such nouns referring to living beings as French le lapin 'the hare' (m.), la souris 'the bat' (f.), la victime 'the victim', la sentinelle 'the sentinel' (f.), and corresponding words in other Romance languages. For non-animate things, the assignment of grammatical gender is, as is well known, completely arbitrary; the use of the "masculine" with, say, le fleuve 'the river' and of the "feminine" with la rivière 'the river' has no relation at all to sex. 5.

Cf. Hall 1965.

6. The only respect in which the term N E U T E R may be applied to the Roumanian ambigenes is semantic, in that they all have [ - observable sex] as a common feature, whether natural or ar bitrary (ascribed); cf. Hall 1972. We may disregard the unne cessary assumption of a "neuter" gender for Italian (as suggest ed by Bonfante 1961, 1964, 1977; cf. also the reply of Migliorini 1963). 7. I do not accept the theory of Fillmore (1968) and his followers that there is a category of case, whether marked mor phologically or not, in some kind of imaginary neo-Platonic ideal "deep structure." Fillmorean case-grammar confuses lin guistic relationships with those prevailing non-1inguistically between elements of the world around us. 8. Cf. Hall 1968; Messing 1972. The terms "neuter of mate rial" or "collective neuter," often applied to the Asturian and Italian forms, are misleading and should be abandoned. 9. Semantically, a few Italian noun-plurals in -a show tra ces of dual reference, as in /lelen¢uόla/ le lenzuola 'the bedsheets (counted by pairs)1 /ilen¢uόli/ i lenzuoli 'the bedsheets (not by pairs)'; a true dual never developed, however, from these few instances (cf. Hall 1956). 10. With certain verbs, however, such as the impersonals referring to meteorological conditions (cf. §2.14) when used in their literal meaning, no subject is possible; cf. Hall 1980a. 11. Notably in Ibero-Romance and Roumanian; cf. the discus sions of the Romance "prepositional accusative" by Müller (1971) and Rohlfs (1971).

FORM-CLASSES: SUBSTANTIVES AND PRONOUNS

In Chapters 3-5 we shall enumerate and describe the inflec tional characteristics of the several form-classes (parts of speech) of Proto-Romance, insofar as they can be reconstructed by comparison of the Romance languages or inferred with the as sistance of Latin (especially Popular Latin) attestations. The task of the grammarian, with respect to the inflectional system of a language, is to state the elements which enter into the combinations found in inflected forms, their distribution, and their meanings. 3.0.

Structure of Inflected Forms

Proto-Romance inflected forms, like those of the more con servative Romance languages down to the present day, were built on a STEM, which in its turn consisted of a ROOT plus a S T E M F O R M A N T . To the stem were (and still are) added I N F L E C T I O N A L E N D I N G S . Thus, such forms as PRom. and Span. /kas-a-s/ 'houses' show these three elements (here separated by hyphens, indicating breaks between inflectional elements): the root /kás-/, the stem-formant (for nouns of this declension, the stem-vowel /-a-/, and the ending /-s/, which in Proto-Romance marked case (oblique) and number (plural), but which in Spanish signals only the plural. In Italian and Roumanian /kas-e/ 'houses', the end ing /-e/ like-wise signals number, and has replaced the stemvowel (It. /-a-/, Roum. /-a-/) which appears in the singular (/kás-a/ and /kás- / respectively). Using the morphophonemic symbol A for 'replacement of the stem-vowel by ... ', we may symbolize the Italian and Roumanian plural-endings in this in stance as |-Δe|. For verbal forms, we must recognize the existence of more than one verb-stem (two in Proto-Romance, Sardinian, and Rouma nian; three in Italian and Western Romance). We must also iden tify, under the heading of inflectional endings, both T E N S E M A R K E R S and P E R S O N - A N D - N U M B E R - M A R K E R S . With both of these, the absence of an element can function as a marker, and, for book-keeping purposes, will be termed a ZERO-element.1 Thus, in PRom. /kant-a-ba-t/ 'he was singing', the stem is /kant-a-/, consisting of the root /kant-/ plus the stem-vowel /-a-/ ; the tense-marker of the past built on this stem (the "imperfect") is /_ba_/ ; and /-t/ is the third person singular ending. The first

16


person singular imperfect is constructed similarly, but has zero for the first singular ending in this tense: /kant-a'-ba/. In PRom. /kánt-a-t/ 'he sings', we have the stem /kant-a-/, zero as tense-marker of the present, and the 3.sg. ending /-t/; in /kant-o/ 'I sing', we have the stem /kant-a-/» the tense-marker zero, and the l.sg. personal ending /-Ao/. The position of the stress is to be stated separately for each tense. 3.1. Substantives Under the heading of substantives come N O U N S (which normally manifest only one grammatical gender; cf. §2.3 and Table I) and A D J E C T I V E S (which manifest both). Since the sub-classes of ad jectives are almost wholly combinations of those which are to be set up for nouns, we shall describe first those of the latter. 3.10. S U B - C L A S S E S ( D E C L E N S I O N S ) are determined by the stem-vow el manifested in the noun-forms. The stem-vowel and the gramma tical gender are, in most instances, the same in both numbers, but in certain sub-classes the sinqular has a different stemvowel and/or gender from that of the plural. 3.11. N O U N S . The following noun-declensions are to be set up for Proto-Romance: I. Stem-vowel: /a/, e.g. 203 /korda/ 'cord', 179 /kása/ 'house'. a. Declensional Endings: i. Singular: Oblique, Nominative, Vocative: zero. Stem + ending = /-a/.

Genitive, Dative: /-Ae/. ii. Plural : Oblique: /-s/. Stem + ending = /-as/. Nominative, Vocative: /-Ae/. Genitive: /-ru/. Stem + ending = /-a'ru/. b. Gender: usually feminine. c. Examples: see Table II. d. Remarks: i. Roumanian has a separate vocative in /-Ao/, as in /soro/ soro! 'o sister!'; /mar o/ Mario! 'o Mary!, which is used with some (not all) feminines in /-a/; it is becoming obsoles cent. 2 By4some,3 it has been ascribed to a Slavic superstratum; by others, to the Latin nominative in /-a/ plus the ending /-Ao/ = the exclamation /oˆ/ '0!'. Decisive evidence is lacking.

ii. The genitive-dative in /-Ae/ has been preserved as a regular feature of inflection, down to modern times, only in Roumanian. There are isolated survivals, however, in Old Ital ian and Old North French which confirm our ascription of this case-ending to Proto-Romance. The earliest attestations of Old Italian, the Placiti cassinesi of the 960's, have such forms as /partesantemar e/ parte Sancte Marie 'the party [i.e. the ab bey] of St. Mary', Similar genitives occur in Tuscan placenames, e.g. /víapo'rtesantemaríe/ Via Porte Sante Marie 'St.-Ma ry's-Gate-street'. There is no need to follow most commentators in seeing a Latinism in these and similar genitives (cf. also the discussion in section II, below). 5 Old French /čiaæs/ chiés 'at the house of' ( > Modern French /šeˆ Z / chez) clearly points back to a Proto-Romance dative-genitive /kase/ = Latin /kasae/ casae, dative. iii. The relation of the Italian and Roumanian pluralendings /-Ae/ to the Proto-Romance ending /-as/ ( = Lat./-a s/) has been the object of considerable debate. They are in comple mentary distribution with the ending /-as/ in the other Romance languages, and this fact has led some scholars6 to trace them back to that ending, as a phonetic development, thereby elimina ting PRom. /-Δe/ and Lat. /-ae/ from consideration. In favor of this position, it is urged that forms ending in /-a s/ are used in Old Latin and Late Latin in nominative as well as accusative function. Against this view, it can be pointed out 7 that there has obviously been a great deal of analogical fluctuation be tween endings in both Roumanian and Old Italian. Many first-de clension nouns in Roumanian have their plural in /-Ai/ rather than /-Ae/, e.g. /or i / ori 'hours' ( : /όrә/ oră 'hour), by ana logy with the /-Ai/ of the second declension (see below). Old Italian likewise had a number of first-declension plurals in /-Ai/, e.g. /lepόrti/ le porti 'the doors ', and also some in /-Aa/, e.g. Tusc, /lakapra/ la capra 'the goats', Lunigiana /dό^dόna/ 'two women'. These endings cannot all come from /-as/. The best solution is to regard all final vowels in Rou manian and Italian as coming from the corresponding vowels in Proto-Romance (with loss of a following / - s / where this conso nant was present earlier; cf. Hall 1976:80), and discrepant cor respondences as due to analogical replacements. iv. The ascription of a genitive plural /-aru/ to Proto-Romance rests on tenuous evidence, much less sure than that for a corresponding ending /-ό^ru/ in the second declension (see below). Old North Italian /paradisdeli¢iáro/ paradis deliciaro 'paradise of delights' (in Uguccione da Lodi) can fairly be sus pected of being a Latinism. In the place-name Monte de S p e i e n garu (attested in the Old Italian Codex C a v e n s i s 9 ) , however, we have a clear survival from a period when phrases introduced by /de/ in genitive function were replacing the no longer under stood inflected forms in /-a'ru/; in this instance, the two phrase-types were fused.

b. c. d.

Gender: normally masculine, except for 235 /mánu/ 'hand'. Examples: see Tables III, IV. Remarks:

i. That the Proto-Romance oblique singular of this de clension had /-u/ rather than /-o/ is shown by the survival of /-u/ in Sardinian, Roumanian, and South Italian dialects and Asturian. 10 In the three last-mentioned varieties, there is a con trast between /-u/ and /-o/, as in Asturian /múču/ 'much' (adj., < /raúltu/) /múc / 'very' (adv., < /múlto/). ii. The nominative singular ending /-s/ is attested by its survival in Old South and Old North French, in both of which a two-case system contrasts this ending with zero ( < /-u/) in the oblique singular. iii. A special vocative in /-Δe/ is found only in Rou manian, where it occurs mostly, but not exclusively, with nouns referring to persons (proper names and titles): e.g. /doámne/ Doamnel 'Lord!'; /kolonéle/ colonelel

' colonel!'; /petre/ Petrel

'Peter!'. It can also occur with nouns that are followed by the "suffixed" definite article: e.g. /dόmnule/ domnule! 'Sir! (lit. The gentleman!)'; /dobitόkule/ dobitocule! 'eaglet!'. Even if, as some maintain, 11 there may have been Slavic influence in keep ing the vocative case alive in Roumanian, the /-e/ of the mascu line singular clearly corresponds to the same ending in Latin and hence must have been present in Proto-Romance.


21

iv. For the genitive singular, the same considerations apply as expounded above for the ending /-Ae/ of the first de clension (cf. §3.1.I.d.ii). The Placiti Cassinesi of the 960's have SUCh forms as Pergoaldi

'of Pergoald' and Sancti

Benedicti

'of St. Benedict'. In the latter we have Central Italian umlaut in the -i- of Benedicti.12 There are also certain Romansh pro per names whose final consonants point back to the previous pre sence of a final /-i/, e.g. /lorenc/ 'Lawrence' < /lauréntii/. v. Virtually all scholars have considered that the Latin ablative did not survive in Romance, except in a few individual words or phrases where it had lost its case-function, such as Port. /agora/ 'now' < PRom. /akόˆra/ : Lat. /ha k ho ra / 'in this

hour'. There is, however, in certain Central Italian and Asturian dialects, a contrast between distinct forms of some nouns, best interpreted as a difference between "mass-nouns" and "count-nouns". Thus, in Lena (Asturias), we find, say, fiérro 'iron' (as a col lective or mass-noun) fiérru 'iron' (as a single piece, e.g. a smoothing-iron); in Servigliano (Ascoli Piceno) lo péššo 'the fish' (collective) lu péššu 'the (single) fish'. In other dia lects, absence of palatalization or of umlaut points back to a PRom. /-o/, as opposed to its presence caused by a final /-u/. In Neapolitan and some other South Italian dialects, mass-nouns manifest syntactic doubling of their initial consonants after the m.sg. definite article, whereas count-nouns do not, e.g. Neap. o mmelә 'the honey' ( < PRom. / (il)loˆmméle/)

o kanә 'the dog '

( < PRom. /(il)lukáne/). These various phenomena point back to the presence of final /-o ˆ x / (i.e. /oˆ plus syntactic doubling) in Proto-Romance mass-nouns and their accompanying proto-articles, as opposed to /-u/ in corresponding count-nouns, e.g. /(il)loˆfferru/ 'the iron' (mass) /(il)luférru/ 'the iron' (count). This special form is best interpreted as a survival of the abla tive, originally with partitive meaning in phrases formed with /de/

'of'.

13

vi. With regard to the oblique and nominative-vocative endings, there is little or no problem. As evidence for PRom. /-i/, we may cite, not only the Italian and Roumanian endings listed in Table IV, but also masculine plural past participles and adjectives in Romansh, Franco-Provençal, Old South French, and Old Catalan: e.g. OSFr. pagadi 'paid , salvi 'safe', soli 'alone'. 14 vii. The genitive plural ending /-όˆru/ is continued in such Old South French forms as /an¢ianό^r/ ancianor 'of the an cients', /kompaņό^r/ 'of the companions', and in certain more or less set expressions in Old North French (e.g. la gent paienour 'the people of the pagans', al tems ancienour 'in the time of the ancients') and Old Italian le pene 'nfemor 'the pains of hell'. 15 There is no need to regard them as Latinisms; ra ther, they are fossilized survivals, in these set phrases, of earlier productive endings.

d. Remarks: This is a small sub-class of nouns whose inflection is like that of II-A in the singular, but in the plu ral manifests but one ending, /-Δa/, for oblique and nomina tive-vocative. Such forms are often termed A M B I G E N E S . Table V shows this plural for 198 /6uu/ 'egg' and other forms which follow the same pattern. The gender of these nouns is normally masculine in the singular, feminine in the plural. Many of them show the ending /-uri/ in Roumanian, corresponding to /-6ra/ in Old Italian;16 the ending /-a/ has clearly been re placed by the /-i/ of declension II-A. Many of the Romance nouns which point back to the Proto-Romance declension II-B correspond to Latin neuters. There was, however, in Late Latin and mediaeval times, a great deal of fluc tuation and passage of individual nouns, in each separate Ro mance language, from declension II-B to II-A and vice versa. In no Romance language 17 can these ambigenes be said to consti tute a separate "neuter" gender, from the morphological point of view (cf. above, §2.11), and we must therefore reconstruct a special sub-declension, not a separate grammatical gender, for Proto-Romance. 18 III-A.

Remarks:

i. The contrast between oblique and nominative singular in Old Gallo-Romance, with the nominative in /-s/, confirms the existence of such a contrast in Proto-Romance. In Old North French and Old South French, feminine nouns coming from ProtoRomance declension III-A were invariable in the singular, like those of declension I. In some instances, this phenomenon was the result of analogical levelling; in others, the Proto-Romance form may, like the Latin, have had no /-s/, e.g. OSFr. /mar/ mar, ONFr. /m r/ mer 'sea' < PRom. 490 /máre/ : Lat. /mare/ (neuter); OSFr. /fióˆr/, ONFr. /fióûr/ 'flower' < 1491 ,/fiόˆre/ ≠ Lat. /flo s/ (stem flo re/ ). ii. Roumanian /-Ai/ in the genitive-dative points back to the same ending in Proto-Romance, corresponding to the Latin dative in /-Δi-/. iii. For the plural, the Italian and Roumanian endings in /-Ai/ and the zero-ending in Old South French and Old North French would seem to point back to Proto-Romance /-Ai/ for the nominative-vocative plural. This was probably an analogical re placement of earlier /-es/ by /-Ai/ under the influence of De clension II-A, rather than a phonetic development.21 For the oblique plural, / - s / is clearly indicated, corresponding to Latin /-s/ in the accusative. III-B. Stem-vowel /e/, like III-A: e.g. 49 /omine/ and 230 /ómo/ 'man'; 1324 /pastóˆre/ and 500 /pastor/ 'shepherd'; 1407 /sorόˆre/ and 227 /sóror/ 'sister'. Unlike nouns of type III-A, those of III-B have a special shortened form of the stem in the nominative singular, normally with zero case-ending. The short ened form is often equivalent to the bare root; but in roots ending in /-n-/, this final consonant is absent in the nomina tive singular. For examples, see Table VIII. See §3.13 for a list of the nouns and adjectives of type III-B, of which certain can be reconstructed for Proto-Romance as having morphophonemic alternations in their stems, especially for the nominative singular. IV. Stem-vowel /i/. There are only three of these: 59 /síti-/ 'thirst'; 63 /turri-/ 'tower'; and 646 /tússi-/ 'cough'. The stem-vowel / i / is attested by its preservation in Sardinian /sítis/, /túrri/, and /tússi/. On the basis of scanty Latin attestations22 we can conclude that the nominative singular had /-s/ (of which the / - s / of Sardinian /sítis/ 'thirst' is probably a direct continuation 23 ), and the plural likewise had / - s / in both oblique and nominative, giving a paradigm:

Even in classical Latin, there was considerable fluctuation be tween the "pure i-stems" of the third declension,24 and the "mixed i-stems," with plural /turre s/ alongside of /turri s/, and the same situation probably prevailed in popular Latin and hence in Proto-Romance. In some varieties of popular Latin, the roots /turr-/, /tuss-/, /sit-/ had already passed wholly to our Declension III-.A. V. Stem-vowel zero, in certain nouns whose singular ended in /-us/, e.g. 110 /kórpus/ 'body', 111 /péktus/ 'chest', 813 /tempus/ 'time'. Invariable in the singular, the /-us/ of these nouns /-or-/ before the plural ending /-a/, similar to the ending of nouns of Declension II-B. Like the nouns of that de clension, also, the singular of these three was masculine and the plural feminine. For examples, see Table IX. Remarks: These nouns corresponded, of course, to Latin neuters of the "third" declension. To this group belonged, in the singular, PRom. 197 /opus/ 'need'; the earlier plural /opera/ had, in Proto-Romance, become a collective meaning 'work' (PRom. 164 /όpera/).

VI. Some scholars 25 consider that the "pure u-stem" or "fourth" declension was continued in popular Latin and Romance, in the developments of such forms as 235 /manu-/ 'hand', pointing to their continuation with /-u/ in both singular and plural, e.g. in Italian dialects. In all such dialects, however, the development of /-o/ is also /-u/, so that it is impossible to tell whether a plural form like /lemánu/ comes from /mánu(s)/ or /máno(s)/. The Romance evidence, therefore, does not compel us to set up such a declension for Proto-Romance, although it may well have existed in some varieties of popular Latin speech. 3.13. A D J E C T I V E S in Romance, as already stated, manifest both masculine and feminine grammatical genders. The chief type of adjective is the DESCRIPTIVE; there is also the special sub-type of NUMERAL. (Demonstrative, relative, interrogative and indefi nite adjectives fit into the regular Romance inflectional pattern.) 3.131. I-II.

DESCRIPTIVE

adjectives are of two major types:

Stem-vowel /a/ in feminine, following noun-declension I; /u/ A V in masculine (patterned as in noun-de clension II): e.g. 583 /bland-/ 'soft'; 1093 /domes-

Remarks:

i. There may have been, in Proto-Romance times, some sur vivals (which would already have been archaisms) of adjectival endings of noun-type II-B (continuing the old neuter), with con structions like */(akku)íˆk iákent (ip)sa όssa súa/ 'here lie (pl.) his bones' (cf. none 22 to this chapter); but nothing of this kind has survived into even the earliest attestations of the Romance languages. ii. To this declension belong also past participles of verbs: e.g. 239 /fakt-/ ( : 388 /fak-/'do': 1492 /potúˆt-/ ( : 323 /pot-/ 'be able'). Inflectionally, such forms are adjec tives, with the meaning 'in a condition resulting from the action referred to by the verb-root' on which the past participle is based. Their morphological relation to the verb-root is to be described under derivation (word-formation). iii. In the Franco-Provençal dialect of the Mauri enne, in two languages closely related to Old South French (Romansh and Catalan), and in Old Sardinian, / - s / survived as a special ending for predicate adjectives, only in the masculine singular of adjec tives of the I/IIa declension (see § 3.121), as in Maurienne lo laez è frey 'the milk is cold'; 26 Romansh quei gat ei cat is white' ( in gat alv 'a White cat'), or el ei

is come'; 27 Old Sardinian solus

in solus

l'okkisi

him'; 28 Old Catalan gui no creurá ja es jutjaz

alvs vinius

'that 'he

'I alone killed 'he Who Will not

believe is already judged'. 29 Historians of the individual lan guages, not taking into account the situation in other Romance languages, are in general inclined to dismiss mediaeval attesta tions of / - s / in these instances as Latinisms, or in Catalan as Provençal isms. This particular use of the inflectional / - s / in m.sg. predicate adjectives has survived, however, in popular speech down to the present in the out-of-the-way areas of the Maurienne and Romansh, and is attested in the Middle Ages in all the Romance areas (Sardinian, Gallo-Romance, Ibero-Romance) where /-s/ was not lost. It is therefore clear that this construction, and hence the /-s/-ending, must be interpreted as a survival from Proto-Romance in popular speech, and not as a group of chance co incidences in Latinisms in the separate regions. III-A. Stem-vowel /e/ in both masculine and feminine: e.g. 717 /dúlk-/ 'sweet'; 76 /kmˆdéˆl-/ 'cruel'. a.

III-B.

c. Remark: most of the adjectives of this type are compa ratives, with a derivational relationship to the adjectives on which they are based. 3.132. NUMERAL A D J E C T I V E S include only 1451 /ú^n-/ 'one', of adjective-declension I/II, and 364 /du-/ 'two'. For the second of these, in addition to adjectival endings of type I/II, we can reconstruct and invariable form, for both genders and used in the oblique and the nominative (presumably also the vocative), ending in /-o/: /duo/. A similar ending can also be reconstruc ted for 1493 /ámbo/ 'both'. Of the other numerals, the simple ones from '1' to '10' were indeclinable: 540 /tré's/ '3'; 224 /k áttoro/ '4'; 1494 /k ˆnk e/ '5'; 691 /sékse/ '6'; 143 /sépte/ '7'; 238 /ókto/ '8'; 1495 /noue/ '9'; 139 /déke/ '10', as well as 1474 /uí(i)nti/ '20'; 228 /kéntu/ '100'; and 1279 /m ˆlle/ '1000'.. Discussion of the morphological structure of compound numerals (e.g. 541 /tré^diki/ '13') belongs under derivation. Demonstrative adjectives in Romance overlap in their origin and form with the demonstrative pronouns ( § 3.22). 3.14.

M O R P H O P H O N E M I C A L T E R N A T I O N S are found in the stems of

certain nouns and adjectives of class III-B, in the shortening of the stems in the nominative singular, normally through the loss of the stem-vowel.

Remark: Certain words and formation-types have been intentio nally omitted from this listing, because, although they are widely attested in Italo-Western Romance, they have no correspondences in Balkan Romance, Sardinian, Classical or Old Latin, and are later formations dating, at the earliest, from Imperial times, largely introduced in connection with Christianity. They can therefore not be ascribed to any earlier stage than Proto-Italo-Western Romance. They include: A.

PRONOUNS

The basic function of pronouns, as their traditional gramma tical name indicates, is to serve as substitutes, replacing ei ther nouns or forms of other classes serving as nouns. For Proto-Romance, we can reconstruct the following types of pronouns: PERSONAL, DEMONSTRATIVE, RELATIVE-INTERROGATIVE, 3.21.

and INDEFINITE.

PERSONAL-PRONOUNS can be reconstructed, f o r Proto-Romance,

for the f i r s t and second persons (singular and p l u r a l ) and f o r the t h i r d person r e f l e x i v e (without contrast i n number). The t h i r d person non-reflexive, however, is not represented in the Proto-Romance i n f l e c t i o n a l system, since a l l third-person nonr e f l e x i v e pronouns i n Romance go back to demonstratives. The cases t h a t can be reconstructed are: OBLIQUE, D A T I V E , 3 3 and NOMINATIVE-VOCATIVE.

TABLE XII PR0T0-ROMANCE PERSONAL PRONOUNS Remarks: A. As in the other Indo-European languages, personal pronouns in Romance show considerable i r r e g u l a r i t y in ther i n f l e c t i o n , so that the few observable p a r t i a l resemblances are insuff i c i e n t f o r establishing a symmetrical o v e r - a l l pattern. At most, i t is useful to i d e n t i f y the elements / m - / l.sg., / t - / 2 . s g . , / n o " - / l . p l . , and / όˆ-/ 2 . p l . , primarily because of t h e i r recurrence in derivation ( e . g . i n possessive adjectives). B. The plural ending / - s / f o r 1301 /noˆs/ 'we, us' and 420 / όˆs/ 'ye, you' i s attested in a l l the Romance languages that preserve f i n a l / - s / . The f i n a l / - i / of I t a l i a n and Roumanian has been interpreted by some34 as a phonetic development from / - s / . I t i s , however, more r e a l i s t i c to assume, as do o t h e r s , 3 5 that i t is the result of analogical s u b s t i t u t i o n , coming from the nominative-plural-ending of nouns of declension II-B. c. The pronouns l i s t e d i n Table X I I have a l l been shown i n t h e i r stressed forms. As i s well known, a l l the Romance languages have unstressed c l i t i c personal-pronoun-forms, f o r which Proto-Romance forms can be reconstructed. These a l l have the same phonemic shapes as the forms given i n Table X I I , minus stress. 3.22.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS were formed on the stems 1536 /

st-/

and 677 / p s - / ' t h i s ' , and on 18, 1146, 1147 / l l - / ' t h a t ' . Their declension followed, on the whole, that of adjective-types I - I I , especially with regard to the stem-vowels, but with certain additional special features.

Examples: see Table X I I I .

c.

Remarks:

i. All the Romance languages have third-person pronouns which go back to these demonstratives. In Popular Latin (and hence in Proto-Romance), the demonstratives were undergoing a transition to their function as personal pronouns, but still con serving a certain amount of deictic meaning. ii. The nominative singular masculine ending /-Δiˆ/ is to be reconstructed on the basis of It. /(ku)éˆsti/ 'this one', /(ku)éˆlli/ 'that one'; of the umlauted Old South French / l/, / ļ/ 'he' and Old North French / l/ 'he', / st/ 'this one', and / s/ 'that one'. Spanish /este/ 'this one' and /ése/ 'that one' might come from forms with either /-i/ or /-e/: but Old Sardinian (e)custe 'this one', (e) eusse 'that one' and Modern Sardinian (Bitti) /ikú e/ 'that man' point clearly back to /-Ae/. 3 6 iii. The dative in /-ei/ (fem.) and /-uî/ (masc.) is attested in Late Latin. 37 There were also genitives written -aeius /-eius/ (fem.), -uius/-uˆ us/ (masc.), which did not sur vive in Romance and hence cannot be ascribed to Proto-Romance. The forms in /-Δe/ (fem.), /-Δi/ (mase.) are continued in Ital ian /le/ 'to her', Old Italian /ii/ 'to him', as well as in OSFr., ONFr. /ii/ 'to her, to him'.

PROTO-ROMANCE

INFLECTION

iv. The genitive plural /-όˆru/ is widely continued in Romance possessive pronouns and adjectives (e.g. OSFr. /lόˆr/, ONFr. /lόûr/, OSpan. /lúr/ 'their', as well as in the Roumanian /lόr/ 'their; [as definite article] of the, to the'. In Italian, /lόˆro/ has become a kind of Figaro among pronouns, being used as subject and object, dative, and possessive. Cf. also Sardinian /issoru/ 'their' < /ipsόˆru/.

v. The dative plural /illi^s/ is continued in Sardinian /lis/, and in the Italian use of /li/ as a plural form. 38 vi. All the Romance languages have a definite article, for which we can reconstruct Proto-Romance forms based on either /(il)l-/ or /(ip)s-/, 39 identical to the forms shown in Table XIII except for stress. On the basis of Late Latin evidence,40 it is clear that we are dealing with a kind of "pre-article," which still had a great deal of deictic force, and was not yet wholly transferred to the function of a definite article. The same may be said of unstressed forms of the numeral /uˆn-/ 'one', in their function as "pre-indefinite article." vii. Of the Romance indefinite adjectives (whose struc ture, insofar as they are compounds, is to be discussed under de rivation), 1033 /ált(e)r-/ 'another, some-one else' has forms in Italo- and Gallo-Romance pointing back to a Proto-Romance pronomi nal dative singular masculine /altrúî/ 'to some-one else' and to a nominative singular masculine /áltri/: Italian /altrúi/, /áltri/; OSFr. /autrui/; ONFr. /altrúi/ ( > Mod.Fr. /otrųi/. Cf. Grandgent 1907:§395. 3,23. R E L A T I V E - I N T E R R O G A T I V E P R O N O U N S . These had the same in flection, whether functioning as relative or as interrogative. They were formed on the stem A u - / . In the oblique singular and in the nominative, a distinction existed between forms re ferring to humans and those referring to non-humans (animals, things). a.

Declensional Endings: i.

Singular: Oblique: human /-ene/ 'whom'; non-human /- d/ 'which,

Nominative: human / - í ˆ ; non-human /-íd/. ii.

TABLE XIV PROTO-ROMANCE RELATIVE-INTERROGATIVES ***** NOTES TO CHAPTER 3

1. For discussion of the rōle of "zero" in linguistic des cription, cf. especially Haas 1957:33-53; Hoenigswald 1959. My own position is that Z E R O means 'nothing in contrast with some thing', and is simply a convenient book-keeping-device. 2. Cf. any grammar of Roumanian. The most extensive des criptions of current usage are those of Weigand (1918:65-67) and Lombard (1974:78, 80). 3. E.g. Meyer-Lübke 1890-1900:2. § 6; Densusianu 1901:1.244; Tiktin 1905:87; Gartner 1904:150; Sandfeld 1930:146-148; Graur 1967:25-26; Schaller 1975:141-143. 4.

5. As suggested, for instance, by Pei 1941:70; Rohlfs 194954:2.§346. 6. E.g. Gerola 1950; revived by Aebischer 1971 and Gaeng 1971, 1972, and apparently accepted by Tekavcic 1972:2.§489. 7. As done, for instance, by Merlo (1952), Rohlfs 1949-54: §§362, 363; Hall 1961/62; Manczak 1973. 8. Cf. Grandgent 1927:§55; Rohlfs 1949-54:2.§§362, 363. 9.

Rohlfs 1949-54:2.§347.

10. Cf., for Central and South Italian, Rohlfs 1949-54: l.§§145, 147; for Asturian, Canellada 1944. 11. Cf. the references given in note 3. 12. According to this interpretation, the only Latinism in /benedítti/ Benedicti would have been ct for /tt/, a spelling which was wide-spread in mediaeval Italy; cf. Façon 1971:1.372. 13.. Cf. Hall 1968. Messing (1972) agrees with the deriva tion from the ablative, but considers that this use comes from phrases with cum. 14. Cf. Grandgent 1905:33. 15. For Old South French, cf. Grandgent 1905:87; for Old North French, Ewert 1933:§173 or Pope 1934:77; for Old Italian, Rohlfs 1949-54:2.§47. 16. The / ora/-ending was quite widespread in Old Italian, having been extended analogically to forms which originally be longed to declension II-A (e.g. /kámpora/ 'fields', /lókora/ 'places', /fόkora/'fires' (cf. Grandgent 1927 : § 151.1). The only one of these / ora/-plurals to have survived into modern Italian is /témpora/ (as an ėcclesiastical term, 'ember-days'), contrasted with the normal plural /tempi/ 'times'. 17. Pace Bonfante 1961, 1964, 1977; cf. also Migliorini 1963; Hall 1965, 1972. 18. At first glance, OSard. /sóssasúa/ sossa sua 'his bones' would seem to provide an instance of agreement between noun and adjective with a special adjectival ending /-a/ for the plural, which would constitute a true morphological neuter similar to that of Latin, Greek, or Russian. However, this Old Sardinian phrase is clearly shown to be singular, by the verb in the sen tence in which it occurs: I A G H E T C U G H E S O S S A S U A 'here lies his bones', in which /iáget/ 'lies' is singular, and /sόssasúa/ means something like 'his skeleton, the ensemble of his bones = Ger. sein Gebein1. Cf. Casini 1905:358 (inscription no. 62). The Sardinian singular /iáget/ contrasts with the Latin plural


45

in the inscription HIC SUNT OSSA [...] (Casini 1905:355, inscrip tion no. 58). Old Sardinian has no /-a/-plurals: forms like /lára/ 'lip' ( < PRom. /labra/; cf. ONFr. /l vrә/, Mod.:fr.

lèvre), /línna/ 'wood' ( < PRom. /ligna/) are all collective singulars: cf. Salvioni 1909:816-817. 19. Our written sources for Late Latin show confusion between -ēs and - s endings; cf. Väänänen 1960 (19813):§241. 20. Some third-declension nouns show up as masculines in cer tain Romance languages and feminines in others, such as the out comes of 825 /dente/ 'tooth' (feminine in South and North French, but masculine elsewhere, including Picard, Walloon, and Lorrain [cf. Meyer-Lübke 19363 :§2556]). In each instance, the question of the gender of the Proto-Romance etymon has to be decided sepa rately; that of /dénte/, for instance, would seem to have been masculine, with the French feminine as an innovation (which did not extend even to the outer edges of Gallo-Romance). 21. For the theory of /-es/ > /-i/ as a phonetic development, cf. Politzer 1952; Aebischer 1961; Gaeng 1972. For the "analo gical" theory, cf. Richter 1909; Bacinschi 1926; Grandgent 1927:§164; Hall 1961/62. Puşcariu (1927) ascribed the Italian and Roumanian /-i/ to the OLat. ending /-i s/ of the "pure istems." 22.

Cf. Kent 1946:§§260, 263.

23. M. L. Wagner's earlier opinion (1938:99) was that this -s was probably a Latinism. Later, however, he revised his opinion, considering (1960-64:2.421-422) that it was the sole survivor of an earlier situation in which many Sardinian nouns had a nomina tive singular in -s. 24. Cf. any fairly extensive reference-grammar of Latin, e.g. Allen and Greenough 1903:§§65-78. 25.

33. The assumption of a dative case for Proto-Romance per sonal pronouns is based on (1) the Spanish forms /mí/ 'me', /tí/ 'thee', /sí/ 'himself, etc.', which cannot be traced back to /méˆ etc.; (2) the attestations in mediaeval Italian (especially the Placiti cassinesi of the 960's) of forms like meve 'to me', teve

FORM-CLASSES: VERBS

Romance verb-forms,1 as pointed out in §2.15, are to be di vided into two basic types: those which indicate, by their end ings, the person and number of the P R O T A G O N I S T of the situation (their S U B J E C T , in traditional terminology), and those which do not. The first type are normally called F I N I T E verb-forms; the second, N O N - F I N I T E . Only the analysis of the finite forms be longs under inflection. 4.1. The Structure of Finite Forms In every Romance language, the finite forms of verbs have the structure S T E M + T E N S E - M A R K E R + P E R S O N A L E N D I N G . The stem, in its turn, consists of R O O T + S T E M - F O R M A N T . The root carries the basic meaning(s) of the action, state, etc., referred to by the verb. In some modern Romance languages, the root may have a zero-allomorph, as in certain forms of the root /av-/ 'have' in French and Italian, e.g. French /(ž)eˆ/, Italian /ό X / 'I have' = root zero + tense-formant zero + personal ending /-eˆ/, /-ό X / respectively.2 All such forms are, however, the result of phonological reduction in the individual languages. There is no Proto-Romance verb for which we need reconstruct a zero-allomorph for its root. Phonological variation, on the other hand, has played a certain r le, throughout the history of Latin and the Romance languages, in the allomorphs of verbal roots, especially in the formation of the "preterite" stem or Stem C (see below, § 4.41 ), as in PRom. /fákit/ 'he does' /féˆkit/ 'he has done, he did', with /a/ in Stem A /eˆ in Stem C. The stem-formant, the tense-marker, and the personal endings can, in contrast to the root, all have zero-allomorphs — a phe nomenon found quite widely in mediaeval and modern Romance, and to be ascribed to Proto-Romance as well. The extreme case of such zero-allomorphs is found in such Modern French verb-forms as /(il)šãt/ '(he) sings', which consists of root alone, as con trasted with such a form as /(kәnu)šãtasjõz/ 'that we sang [past subjunctive]' = root /sãt-/ + stem-vowel /-a-/ + tense-sign /-sj-/ + personal ending /-õ z /. Similarly, in such a form as Italian, Spanish and Proto-Romance /kánta/ 'sing! [2.sg.]', the tense-sign and the personal ending are both zero. 4.11. S T E M S A N D S T E M - F O R M A N T S . For the present-day Romance lan guages as a group, we must set up a total of three possible stems on which the forms of a verb can be built. These are tradition ally termed the "present" stem (e.g., for Spanish /ae-/ 'do', the

48


root plus zero), the "future" stem (Spanish /ar-/, as in /aré/ 'I shall do'), and the "preterite" stem (Spanish /iθ-/, as in / θe/ 'I did'). However, since the basic meanings of these stems are related, not to time, but to reality, it is better to avoid the traditional terms, and to label them as shown in Table XV. LetterName

TABLE XV ROMANCE VERB-STEMS As can be seen from the table, all three stems are to be set up for Proto-Romance. With Stems A and C, there is no difficul ty, since they are widely attested in Romance. Our justification for setting up a Stem B in Proto-Romance, however, lies in Portu guese and Sardinian. The Portuguese "personal infinitive" is usually considered, on syntactic grounds, as an infinitive plus personal endings, but it is, morphologically speaking, a tense.3 Sardinian also preserves a "subjunctive" built on the infinitive, i.e. on R O O T + T H E M A T I C V O W E L + /-re/. 4 These two, taken inde pendently of each other, would not justify our projecting a Stem B back into Proto-Romance, but together they afford evidence for such a formation.5 The "future" and "conditional" of Italo-Western Romance lan guages, on the other hand, is a later formation, derived from an initially phrasal sequence of I N F I N I T I V E + forms of /av-/ 'have'.6 In mediaeval varieties of Romance (e.g. Old Spanish), the fusion of these elements was not complete, and it still is not in cer tain conservative varieties such as literary Portuguese.7 Stem A consists, in all Romance languages, of R O O T + T H E M A T I C VOWEL,

i.e. with stem-formant zero. Stem B consists of R O O T +

T H E M A T I C V O W E L + /-re-/, and is therefore homonymous with the

infinitive. Stem C is formed either by the addition of further elements to the root (with or without thematic vowel), or by change in the phonological composition of the root itself (mor-

phophonemic alternation, shift of stress, or suppletion). In the later Romance languages, the processes of formation of Stem C are scattered and have to a certain extent disappeared.8 For ProtoRomance, however, we can assume a full representation of this stem for virtually all verbs. On occasion, we find S U B S T I T U T E thematic vowels, especially in the use of vowel-substitution as a tense-marker (cf. §4.13). A number of roots were extended, in Stem A, with the suffix / + í^sk-/ /+eˆsk-/, originally of Conjugation Illa. This suffix earlier had the meaning 'begin to ...', 'get into the condition Of ... ', as in Lat. /obdormi sk-/ 'go tO Sleep' ( : /dorm-/

'sleep'), or /kale sk-/ 'become warm' ( : /kal-/ 'be hot'). In Romance, this meaning was lost, but it is nevertheless customary to refer to such verbs as "inchoatives."9 The suffix was gener alized in various manners in the different Romance languages. For Proto-Romance, the most we can do is to set up the possibi lity of various roots having been extended with either / + é ˆ s k / or / ^ s k - / , i t h no change in meaning, e.g. /lu^ké^sko/ / l u k ^sko/ 'I Shine' (cf. Roum. /lučêsk/) , or/flo^ré"skunt/

/fio^rí^skunt/ + 'they flower' + (cf. Ital. /fior skono/). The dis tribution of / é^sk-/ and / í^sk-/ in the various Romance lan guages will be discussed in Chapter 14. 4.12. C O N J U G A T I O N S , for Proto-Romance as for Latin and the later Romance languages, are sub-classes of verb-roots determined by the thematic vowels which occur with them. The Romance conjuga tions, with examples, are shown in Table XVI. Conjugation

TABLE XVI PROTO-ROMANCE CONJUGATIONS 4.13. T E N S E S . For Proto-Romance, we must recognize four fully inflected sets of forms or T E N S E S (cf. §2.25), with the time-ref erences shown in Table XVII: N O N - P A S T , 1 0 P A S T , P R E - P A S T , and TIMELESS.11 In addition, there is an incomplete set of forms, the I M P E R A T I V E , which for Proto-Romance can be set up for only two persons, the second singular and second plural. 12 Since the meaning of the imperative is that of a command for something to be done at the present time or in the future, it excludes refer ence to wholly unreal or completed situations, and hence impera-

Lying wholly outside of the rest of the system is a set of forms referring to future time alone, only with the verb 'be', and reconstructible on the basis of survivals in Old South and North French (cf. § 4.25). 4.14. T E N S E - M A R K E R S can consist either of zero, of sequences of phonemes (as in /-ba-/, marker of Past A for "regular" verbs), or of the substitution of one thematic vowel for another (e.g. in /a/ /e(^)/ in the formation of the Timeless A of verbs of Conjugation I, as in /kantet/ '(that) he sing'). 4.15.

Remarks:

i. A certain number of roots show, in varying distribution in the later Romance languages, evidence for the addition of a root-extension /-i-/ before a back vowel, in the first person singular and the third person plural on Non-Past A and before the substitute stem-vowel /-a-/ in Timeless A. We list them here with indication of their conjugations: II:

aper- -

'open'

fer- - 'strike' mor- - 'die' IIIa. ab- - 'have'

par- - 'appear' sal- - 'go up, out' en-

'come'

sap- - 'know'

de^b- - 'owe'

sol- - 'be accustomed to'

dol- - 'hurt, feel pain'

'fall'

kap- - 'get, take' pot- - 'be able' IIIb: fak- - 'do, make'

i d - - 'see' ol- - 'wish, want' po^n-i- 'put'

We can, therefore, set up such alternating pairs as / όlo/ ˜ /

/ 'I Want', /moro/ ˜ /mor o/

'I die', /poto/ ˜ /pot o/

'I am able' for roots of this type. The root-extensions /-ng-/ and /-ig-/,, present in such Ital ian and Spanish forms as /tengo/ 'I hold (have)', /salgo/ 'I go up (out)', are not to be projected back into Proto-Romance. they

are, rather, to be ascribed to Proto-Italo-Western Romance, hav ing arisen probably in back-formations at a time when /-n -/ and /-ng-/ before front-vowels had become /-nn-/, and /l -/ and /-lg-/ before front vowels -ad given /- -/, which were thus in alternation with /-ng-/ and /-lg-/ before back vowels, so that, say, PItWRom. / ./ could be equated with /tengo/ and /¡ " >/ With /salgo/. ii. The root /pot-/ 'be able' had a variant /poss-/,(coming, of course, from earlier /possum/ and /possunt/, respectively) in the first person singular and the third person plural, surviving in such forms as Ital. /pósso/ 'I can' and /possono/ 'they can'. iii. The root /ab-/ 'have' had a variant /a(i)/ in the first person singular, and /a-/, occurring with or'without stemvowel, in the other rhizotonic forms. These shorter variants were the source for the later developments in Italo-Western Romance, and especially for the endings in the so-called "synthetic" future and conditional. iv. The roots /fak-/ 'do' and /uad-/ 'go' had similar short variants, /fa-/ and /ua-/ respectively, in rhizotonic forms, giving: /fab/

or /fό/ 'I do'

/fas/

'thou

/fat/

'he does'

dost'

/fa(u)nt/ 'they do'

/ ao/ or /uό/ 'I go' / as/ 'thou goest' / at/ 'he goes' / a(u)nt/ 'they go'

v, The root /ess-/ 'be' here, as in other tenses (and, in general, in the Indo-European languages throughout its conju gation) had a wide variation in its forms, corresponding only par tially to the normal inflection of other roots in this tense. The root itself appears as /es-/ in the second and third per sons singular and in the third person plural, and as /s-/ in the other persons (probably also in the second person plural in some dialects). The personal endings appear as /-n/ in the first person singular, as zero in the second person singular, and in their regular form elsewhere. In the first person singular and the first and third persons plural, we find the substitute stemvowel /u/ (probably also / e V , / i V in some dialects). 4.22.

PAST

A, traditionally termed "imperfect."

a. Reference: limited to the past, to a situation for whose beginning no sharp onset, for whose cessation no sharp end is in dicated. From the semantic point of view, the Romance and Latin "imperfect" is a Past Non-Punctual. It is therefore approximate ly equivalent in meaning to English was ...-ing or used to ... .

b. Tense-Marker: i. For /ess-/ 'be', /-ss-/ /-r-/, with following vowel /a/; the resultant stem-form = /era-/. ii.

For all other verbs, /-ba-/.

c. Stress: on the next to the last syllable throughout. d. 4.23.

Examples: cf. Tables XIX-A through -D. T I M E L E S S A, usually called "present subjunctive."

a. Reference: to a real situation, but time is not relevant. Use of this tense indicates that the situation might in some way be different from what it is, and that the speaker has an emo tional attitude toward it. In independent clauses, it therefore served (as in Latin and the later Romance languages) to give a command or to indicate a wish or desire, e.g. / Iniat/'let him come', /kanté^mus/ 'let's sing!'. In subordinate (included, em bedded) clauses, its chief use was with verbs indicating wish, de sire, command, possibility, doubt, and other "iffy" situations. b. Tense-Markers: i. For regular conjugations, exchange of thematic vowel: in Conjugation I, /a/ /e^ (reduced to /e/ when not stressed), and in Conjugations II and III, /i^/, /e/, and /e^/ /a/. ii. For /ab-/ 'have' and /ess-/ 'be', use of thematic vowel /a/ and of special stem-variants (see below). c. Stress: arhizotonic (on penult) in first and second per sons plural, rhizotonic elsewhere. d.

Examples: cf. Tables XX-A through - C

e. Remarks: i. As in the Non-Past A, a number of roots (such as those listed in § 4.21.e.i) had, at least in some persons' speech, the root-extension /- .-/ before /a/ (and, therefore, in all six per sons of this tense): e.g. /fák(i)a/ '(that) I do'; /mór( )at/ '(that) he die'; /ten( )amus/ '[that) we hold'. ii. The root /ab-/ 'have' had a variant /a( ) - / , and /ess-/ 'be' had /si( ) - / , in all six persons. 4.24. I M P E R A T I V E , formed only (in accordance with its meaning) on Stem A (cf. § 4.13) and only in the second person (singular and plural).

Remarks:

i. For /ess-/, the Romance evidence does not suffice to set up a second person singular imperative form. One would have been understood, probably, if one had used the Timeless A /síâs/. ii. For commands in other persons, the Timeless A ("present subjunctive") was used, as in Latin and the later Romance languages. 4.25. F U T U R E . This tense, as observed in § 4.13, is reconstruc tible only for /ess-/ 'be', and only on the basis of Old South and Old North French, and of sporadic survivals in Old North Ital ian. 1 7 a.

innovation which had had only a very short l i f e . ii. In the absence of evidence from Romance languages which preserve f i n a l vowels other than / a / , we have to reply on Latin f o r ascribing / i / and / u / to the f i n a l s y l l a b l e of these forms i n Proto-Romance. For the f i r s t person singular, we might guess at a f i n a l / - o / on the analogy of the Non-Past A; here, t o o , however, we are r e a l l y dependent on the Latin evidence. 4.3.

S T E M B.

This stem, consisting of R O O T + T H E M A T I C V O W E L + S T E M - F O R MANT /-re-/ (§4.11), was by definition equivalent to the infini tive: e.g. /kantare-/, /dormi^re-/, /teksere-/ 'to Weave', /essere-/ ' to be', /uide're-/

' to See', /abe^re-/ 'to have'.

For Proto-Romance, we can set up only one tense on this stem, a TIMELESS B, with reference, not to reality, but to a possible or probable situation. Stress was arhizotonic in the first and sec ond persons plural of all conjugations and in the other persons of all conjugations except IIIb; in this latter, it was rhizotonic in the other persons. Examples are given in Table XXIII (using, for Sardinian, the forms attested in Wagner 1938-39:§§119125, including those of /téksere/ instead of our usual /báttere/). 4.4.

11. DERIVATIONAL CATEGORIES

Unlike those of inflection, patterns and processes of deriva tion are subject to relatively rapid replacement in the course of linguistic history, being in this respect intermediate between in flection and lexicon. This chapter will be devoted chiefly to those aspects of suffixation and compounding which did not survive directly into Romance. 11.1.

Derivational Patterns

In the development of Latin from Indo-European, several wide spread derivational processes ceased to be productive, and sur vived only in fossilized morphological relations. The two most important processes of this type, both of them in verbal morpho logy, were reduplication and infixation ( § 10.51). The latter was important in Indo-European for forming continuative verbs with an infixed nasal, e.g. /iung-/ 'to be yoking' : /iug-/ 'to yoke'. Such Latin verbs as stilî retained these relationships were re latively few, e.g. /tang-/ 'to touch' (imperfective stem) : /tag-/ in /tetig-/ (perfective) ( < */tetag-/)• The only such verb to survive into Romance with this relationship was 2005 /níng -/ 'to snow' III-B/Reg, but it was in general replaced by forms'based on 2006 /ní -/ or /ní ik-/ I/Reg/W except in certain Umbrian dialects.1 11.2.

Derivational Processes

11.21. S U F F I X A T I O N . Both High Classical and Popular Latin were rich in suffixes, of which a fair number (at a rough estimate, perhaps half) survived directly into Romance.2 As will be seen in Chapter 14, some suffixes which cannot be ascribed to Proto-Romance but were used in High and Late Classical Latin were later re-introduced into popular or semi-popular usage, e.g. /+íû-/ '-ive'. 3 The loss of productive suffixes was most evident in nouns, verbs, and adverbs, but somewhat also in adjectives, as can be seen in the following selected items: 1. Nouns: such suffixes as/ + mo-n˙a/ f/I and / + mo-n u-/ n/II 'collective', as in /k erimo˙n a/ 'complaint' ( : /k er-/

'to complain', /testimo˙n um/ 'testimony' ( : /test-/ 'to wit ness'); / + tu˙t-/ f/VI '-ness (abstract), as in / irtu˙te-/, nom. /uirtu˙s/ 'manliness'; or the "supine" (n/II) formed on the "suine"-stem of verbs, e.g. /di˙ktum/ 'the act of saying' ( : /di˙k-/ 'to say'.

DERIVATIONAL CATEGORIES

187

2. Adjectives: the post-verbal derivatives in / + t u ˙ r - / 'about to . . . ' a d j / I - I I ("future active p a r t i c i p l e " ) and / + n d - / 'to be . . . -ed' ("future passive p a r t i c i p l e " ) a d j / I - I I , e.g. /moritu˙rus °a °um/ 'about to die' ( : /mor-/ 'to die'); /amandus °a °um/'to be

loved, loveable' ( : /am-/ 'to love'). 3. Verbs: especially the entire process of derivation of the medio-passive verb-forms by the addition of certain suffixes to the active forms, as in /ama˙tur/ 'he is loved' ( /amat/ 'he loves' + / + u r / ) , /ama˙mur/ 'we are loved' ( /ama˙mus/ 'we love', with /-us/ replaced by / + u r / ) , or /ama˙ri˙/ 'to be loved (infini tive)' ( /ama˙re/ 'to love', with /-e/ replaced by / + i % From a paradigmatic point of view, the loss of the passive derivation knocked out almost half of the verb-forms which were still avail able to users of High Classical Latin; from a semantic point of view, it eliminated the morphological expression of the passive and hence the category of voice from Romance verb-structure. A certain number of individual verbal suffixes, also, were either lost or transmogrified. The suffix / + sk-/, which had ear lier indicated the inception of an action — as in /labe˙sk-/ 'to begin to totter' ( : /labe--/ 'to totter') — lost this meaning and (as will be seen in Chapter 13) passed to the realm of inflec tion as a stem-formant. Other suffixes such as the intensive / + ess-/ IIIb (e.g. in /kapess-/ 'to lay hold on' : /kap-/ 'to take') disappeared with the obsolescence of the individual verbs containing them. 4. Adverbs. Of major importance for the later history of adverb-formation in Romance was the total loss of the suffix / + Aiter/ (as in /ina˙niter/ 'emptily' [ : /ina˙n-/ 'empty']), which formed adverbs on adjectives of the Latin declensions IIIb and VI, and the almost total loss of / + e˙/, which func tioned similarly for adjecives of declension I /II. The only di rect survivors of the latter in Romance seem to have been 1600 /longe/ 'distantly' and 1607 /pú^re/ 'purely, indeed' ( § 7.62). 11.22. P R E F I X A T I O N , interestingly, was not an extensively used process of word-formation in Indo-European or early Latin. The specifically prefixoidal elements which survived into Romance were only two: /re + / 'again' ( § 8.11) and /dis + / 'dis-, un-' ( § 8.12.1). To these was added /es + / ~ /eks + / 'out of ..., ex-' ( § 8.12.2) when that form ceased functioning as a preposi tion. Other elements which seem to us to be prefixes (e.g. /ad/ ~ /a×/ 'to', /per/ 'through', etc.) were in both Latin and ProtoRomance simply the first elements of compounds, since they were still independent prepositions. 11.23. C O M P O U N D I N G was a fairly wide-spread process in Latin, but mostly according to patterns which did not survive into Romance. The most wide-spread of these was that involving a combination of + S U B S T A N T I V E + / i/ (substantive stem-vowel) + V E R B - R O O T + the

188

FROM LATIN TO PROTO-ROMANCE

endings of either n/II or adj/I-II. Thus, from /pan-/ 'bread' + /fik-/ ( : /fak-/ 'to make'), we have /panifikium/ 'the making of bread; baked goods' n/II; from /ina˙ni-/'empty' + /lok -/ 'to speak', /ina˙nilok us °a °um/ 'speaking emptily' adj/I-II. On the other hand, the compounding of adverbs or prepositions with verbs (cf. § 9.14) and of prepositions with nouns, adjectives or numerals to form parasynthetic verb-compounds (cf. § 9.21), which was very common in Latin, survived extensively into Romance.

EARLY DEVELOPMENTS IN ROMANCE

INFLECTIONAL CATEGORIES AND MORPHOPHONEMICS

The earliest developments in the gradual divergence of the different varieties of Romance undoubtedly took place under the Roman Empire, although by no means causing wide enough splits to justify our projecting the later standard languages back on them. (In other words, what was spoken in Gaul in, say, 500 A . D . was hardly "French" or even "pre-French," and similarly for the other Romance-speaking areas.) The relative break-down in interregional communication from the fifth century onwards undoubtedly speeded up the process, at least somewhat. In this section, we shall pre sent some of the salient developments in early Romance, primarily between the earliest reconstructible stage (which we have been calling Proto-Romance) and those which can best be termed ProtoBalkan-, -Italo-, -Gallo-, and Ibero-Romance. 12.1.

Loss of Contrasts

Among the morphological categories which we have to set up for Proto-Romance, those of grammatical gender, number, person, and tense have shown themselves fairly resistant, on the whole, as long as the phonological base on which they rested have remained firm, or as long as an adequate substitute was available. Thus, in Eastern (Italo- and Balkan) Romance, the loss of final/-s/ and /-t/ did not seriously weaken the distinction between singular and plural. These phonological losses affected only certain forms, and other endings (especially /-i/) could be extended to take the place of those in /-s/, while zero (in contrast to one or more phonemes elsewhere in a paradigm) was sufficient to mark those forms which had earlier been distinguished by /-t/. Thus, the nominative plural ending /-e/ for f/I and /-i/ for m/II-A and m or f/III easily replaced /-as/, /-es/ and /-os/ respectively in Italian1 and Roumanian, in such forms as /káse/ 'houses', /boni/ 'good (m.pl.)' or /omini/ 'men'. Similarly, /kánti/ 'thou sing est' was as good as /kántas/ to distinguish the second singular from other persons, and similarly /kánta/ 'he sings' replacing /kántat/.

Case, on the other hand, was far weaker, and gradually disap peared, to the point where it is no longer represented (except in fossilized forms) in our earliest Romance texts except in Balkan and Gallo-Romance (North and South French and Rhaeto-Romance). But why should the case-system have disappeared almost wholly in the very regions where we might perhaps have expected it to sur-

190


vive most extensively, Ibero-Romance and Sardinian? We may sus pect that its loss was due, paradoxically, to the fact that those were the areas where both / - s / and the vowel of the final syllable was preserved. The latter phenomenon meant that noun- and adjec tive-stems were clearly marked; the former, that / - s / served very clearly as a plural-marker, due to its occurring far more fre quently in the plural than in the singular. In the dative-abla tive plural, the ending /-i˙s/ (which would have become /-es/ in Central and Western Ibero-Romance) was much less distinctive, for the identification of the class of any noun to which it was added, than were the endings /-as -os -es/, corresponding to stems in /-a -u -e/ respectively. In Italo- and Balkan Romance, with the loss of /-s/, the onus of distinguishing between singular and plural fell on the alterna tion of final vowels: /-a/ ~ /-e/ for the first declension, /-u/ ~ /-i/ for the second, as contrasted with (at the out-set) /-e/ ~ /-e/ in the third. In this latter absence of contrast, we find the reason for the substitution (wide-spread but not complete2) of /-i/ for /-e/ in the plural-ending of the third declension, by analogy with the second. In Italian, /-i/ as a plural-marker spread to the /a/-stems in the masculine, and, in Old Italian, even to some feminines.3 We are to ascribe a similar origin to the /-i/ of a great many feminine plurals in Roumanian, particu larly those of the "ambigenes" in /-uri/ < /-ora/.4 Conditions were thus favorable to a partial preservation of case-markers in Roumanian and (at least in fossilized traces) in the earliest Old Italian. In Gallo-Romance, on the other hand, the vowel of the final syllable was lost (except for / - a / ) , whereas / - s / was, for some centuries at least, preserved. In this situation, the first de clension was the only one in which / - s / was an unambiguous plu ral-marker. In the others, the presence of / - s / in most m.sg. nominatives was frequent enough to serve as a case-marker, as was its absence in m.pl. nominatives. Evidence of this is found in the wide-spread analogical extension of / - s / to m.sg. nominatives which originally had none, e.g. ONFr. /b rs /≠/br/ 'hero' ( PRom. 1075 /báro/), and also the analogical loss of / - s / in m.pl. nominatives of the third declension, e.g./či n/ ≠ /ci ns/ (as was to be expected from PRom. 1184 /kanes/). There was, however, enough confusion throughout the ONFr. and OSFr. period for a great deal of analogical shifting to develop, so that when the condi tioned sound-change of / s / > zero took place in pre-consonantal position, it served as a catalyst for word-final / - s / to be lost analogically elsewhere, in pre-pausal position and finally, in Modern French, even in pre-vocalic position as well. As a re sult, present-day French and Provençal seem to be as wholly devoid of case in their substantives as are the Ibero-Romance varieties, Sardinian and Italian, but they have arrived at this stage by a different route.


191

Modern Romance forms have developed, in short, not out of one single case (as is often assumed 5 ), but out of a gradual fusion of the various non-nominative cases into a more or less generalized "oblique" stem. This latter then became the only form to serve, in most of the vocabulary, in Ibero-Romance and Sardinian, and (later) in Italo- and most (but not all) of Gallo-Romance. De Dardel (1964) was undoubtedly on the right track in hypothesizing an intermediate stage, which he considered to have manifested three cases, between the earlier syxtem of six cases and the la ter, caseless stage. We must, however, go even farther and postu late a gradual decline of the case-system, which fell apart at va rying rates and with different results in various parts of the Ro mance territory. It is perhaps not excessively fanciful to com pare the linguistic situation with that which prevailed in postImperial use of the inherited monuments of Roman architecture. The successors of the Roman Empire lived, to a large extent, in. buildings which were gradually falling apart, and whose remaining rooms were used for purposes which were often quite different from their original functions, eked out with fragments of other parts of the same building or of other edifices brought in an adapted to aims for which they were not originally intended. In each in stance, the process was gradual, lasting centuries and even mill ennia. In Romance linguistic structure, it is not over yet (and presumably never will be). 12.2.

Development of New Contrasts

In certain instances, however, new categories or sub-categor ies of inflection arose. These included the beginnings of the indefinite and the definite article, as well as those of an inde finite pronoun based on 230 /6mo/ and 49 /omine/ 'man'. 12.21. INDEFINITE ARTICLE. Neither Latin nor Greek, as is well known, Liad an indefinite article.6 In popular speech, 1451 was used to mean 'a certain ... ', as in unus servus indoientissimus 'a certain man [who is] a most indolent slave'. 7 From this use to the function of an indefinite article is only a very short step. In the "Vulgate" (St. Jerome's translation of the Bible, fourth century A . D . ) , one finds such expressions as accessit ad eum una ancilla 'there came up to him a serving-maid' (Matt. 26.69). The decisive step in this process was the loss of stress, when /u^n-/ stood in pre-tonic position and became unstressed, thereby coming to constitute a new form-class. The presence of this usage in the Latin of the Vulgate invalidates the suggestion8 that it originated, not in popular speech, but in the learnèd language of mediaeval Neoplatonism. On the other hand, the use of /ú^n-/ in the sense of 'a certain person' continued at least down into Boccaccio's time, as evidenced in his use of the expression una sua madre, which is certainly to be taken as 'a certain woman, his mother' (not 'a mother of his'!). 9 12.22.

DEFINITE ARTICLE.

Although Greek had a definite article,

192


ò /ho he˙ ton/, Latin had none. In Popular Latin, there ex isted a situation similar to that prevailing with regard to /u^n-/, in that a kind of pre-definite-article was in process of formation. Two demonstratives, /ill-/ 'that' and /ips-/ 'the same, the very one', were used in such expressions as ille opulentissimus 'that man [who is] very rich', and (speaking of apples, mela, n.pl.) illa acida 'the ones [which are] sour'. 10 Here, too, as with the development of the indefinite article ( § 12.21), the decisive step in the establishment of a new form-class was the loss of stress in pre-tonic position. At first, the pre-definite-articles /ill-/ and /ips-/ were in nearly free alternation, as in this sequence of sentences from the Late Latin Peregrinatio Sanctae Aetheriae'. Requisivi de eo quam longe esset ipse locus. Tunc ait ille presbyter ... 'I

asked of him how far away the place was. Then the holy elder said ...'.10 Later, forms developing from /ips-/ became localized in Sardinia, parts of southern France, and Catalonia, whereas forms based on /ill-/ prevailed elsewhere. In Balkan Romance, the definite article came to occupy the second slot in the nounphrase,11 but the first slot elsewhere. 12 12.23.

MORPHOPHONEMIC DEVELOPMENTS.

Such morphophonemic alterna

tions as can be set up for Proto-Romance served primarily to dis tinguish inflectional functions, e.g. in such contrasts as that between imperfective and perfective verb-stems (as in 338 fák-/ 'to do' ~ /fé^k-i-/; cf. § 4.41.b.iii.A), Other, non-functional alternations were present sporadically, in such pairs as the as similation of a final consonant to a following one in sentencesandhi or derivation, e.g. 375 /ad/ 'to' ~ /a×/ or1555/aut/ 'or' ~ /a ×/ ( § 5.1). Even in the earliest stages of Romance, however, phonemic splits resulted in the development of new morphophonemic alter nations: 1. The first of these splits was probably that of /k/ into /k/ and /c/, and of /g/ into /g/ and /ğ/, due to palatalization before front vowels.13 In the varieties in which this change took place or to which it spread (eventually virtually all except the most conservative dialects of Sardinian), substantive- and verb-roots ending in /-k-/ and /-g-/ developed palatalized alter nants before front vowels. Thus, for Proto-Continental Romance (PCRom.), we have to set up such forms as /pórku/ 'pig' ~ /pórči/ 'pigs'; /doméstika/ 'domestic' f.sg. ~ /doméstiče/14

f.pl.; /díko/ 'I say' ~ /díčit/ 'he says'. For roots ending in /-g-/, likewise, we must set up, say, PCRom. /fágu/ 'beech' ~ /fáği/ 'beeches', and /fíngat/ 'that he pretend' ~ /fínğet/ 'he pretends'. The resultant two morphophonemes may be symbolized by /K/ and /G/, respectively, and the roots cited above may be re-written as PCRom. /pórK-/, /doméstiK-/, /díK-/, /fáG-/, /fínG-/

respectively.

This alternation was and still remains very wide-


193

spread in all Romance languages whose palatalized consonants com ing from /ĉ/ and /ğ/ have either remained at the stage /ĉ/, /ğ/ or have developed farther to / ¢ / , and then gone to /G/, or to /s/ and /z/. 2. Umlaut 15 gave rise to alternation between umlauted and non-umlauted vowels in various instances of differentiation in ad jectival, pronominal and verbal paradigms. Thus, we find plurals distinguished from singulars in some dialects where a final /-i/ raised a preceding stressed /á/, e.g. Piedmontese /kér/ 'carts' ( < PRom. 670 /kárri/) ~ /kár/ 'cart' ( < PRom. /kárru/). Neapotan distinguishes masculine from feminine in some adjectives by the presence of a closer vowel in the former versus a more open vowel in the latter, as in /bó^nə/ 'good' (m.sg.) ( < PRom. 118 /bonu/) ~ /bona/ (f.sg.) ( < PRom. /bona/). In Old North French, the presence of a final /-i/ in Proto-Gallo-Romance raised a pre ceding stressed / e V , as in the pronouns /íl/ 'he' ( < PGRom., PItWRom. /é^lli/ < PRom. 18 /ílli/ ) ~ /é^lə/ 'she' ( < PGRom. /é^llə/ < PItWRom. /é^lla/ < PRom. 1146 / í l a / ) . Similarly in verb-forms: ONFr. /prís/ 'I took' ( < PRom. /pré^si/) ~ /prən-/ as in /Prən /¢ 'you take'. 3. Diphthongization16 gave rise to similar alternations, whether conditioned by final vowel (often as an extension of um laut) or by stress. Old North French and Italian had fairly ex tensive alternations of this type, as in ONFr. /pruef/, OIt. /pruovo/ 'I try' ( < PRom. 354 /probo/) ~ ONFr. /prov r/, It.

/prováre/ 'to try' ( < PRom. /probáre/). Many of these mediaeval alternations have been ironed out in later times, especially in Modern French, as in Fr. /(zə)pruv/ je prouve (which would have been, in the normal development, */ prøv/ je preuve). Castilian had and still has a great number of such alternations in forms which contained a lax mid vowel, due to these vowels having diph thongized under stress whether in free or checked syllable: e.g. Spanish /siento/ 'I feel' ( < PRom. 155 /sénto/) ~ /sentir/ 'to

feel' ( < PRom. /sentí're/j. For these alternations, also, appro priate morphophonemic symbols can be used as needed, e.g. ONFr., Olt. /prOv-/ 'to try', Span. /sEnt-/ 'to feel'. 4. A number of other types of morphophonemic alternation arose in the various Romance languages as they gradually became differentiated and new conditioned sound-changes took place. Rou manian and Old North French were perhaps the richest in such pho nological and hence morphological developments. Roumanian, for instance, manifests such alternations as /a/ ~ /á/ in a great many forms, e.g. /kətá(re)/ 'to earn' ( < PRom. 1197 /kattáre/ 'to get') ~ /kátə/ 'he earns' ( < PRom. /káttat/). Old French had a number of such special developments, often giving rise to alternations of not only two, but three or even more vowels depending on their phonological environment: e.g. /manéîr/ 'to stay' ( < PRom. 458 /mané^re/) ~ /máint/ 'he Stays' ( < PRom. /mánet/) ~ /mé^s/ 'I

stayed' ( < PRom. /mási/) ~ /m s/ 'stayed [past part.]' ( < PRom.

194


/masu/). Similarly, there arose such consonant-alternations as /v/ ~ /č/ in, say, /sav-/ in /savéîr/ 'to know' ( < PRom. 307 /sapé^re/) ~ /sac-/ in /sáčəө/ 'that he know

( < PRom. /sáp a t / ) .

Many of these alternations have been ironed out analogically in Modern French; many fewer in Modern Roumanian. Their detailed enumeration and development is of course part of the history of the individual languages. N O T E S T O C H A P T E R 12

INFLECTIONAL CLASSES

The later Romance languages have, by and large, continued the fundamental class-structure of Latin and Proto-Romance. Sardin ian, Italo- and Ibero-Romance have perhaps been the most conserva tive, Balkan Romance rather less so, and Gallo-Romance least of all — to the point where, according to some observers, Modern French has, in its typology, moved quite far away from its Romance congeners. Even so, the basic form-classes have remained the same. 13.1.

Nouns

Especially in the intermediate (mediaeval) stages, nouns deve loped in two main directions, depending on the maintenance or oth erwise of word-final vowels. In the languages where final vowels were, on the whole, retained, the major noun-declensions have not changed. For Sardinian, Roumanian, Italian, Spanish, and Portu guese, we can still set up the three main declensions, character ized by the stem-vowels /a/, /u/ or /o/, and either /e/ or zero, and can still assign them the same numbers, I, II and III respect ively. In certain languages, one sub-declension or another has had a special development. The most striking of these is declension II-B, of the "ambigenes," which has had a tremendous expansion in Roumanian, being extended even to a very large number of modern loan-words from French and other languages. We find, just to cite two instances out of many hundreds, such forms as /bombón/ 'piece of candy, bonbon' m.sg. ~ /bomboáne/ 'bonbons', f.pl., and /endokárd/ 'endocardium' m.sg. ~ /endokárduri/ 'endocardia', f.pl. In Old Italian, also, there was a notable extension of the "ambi genes" in /-a/ and /-ora/,1 to such words as /kámpo/ 'field', m.sg. ~ /kámpora/ 'fields', f.pl. In certain instances, these Italian forms began to be specialized in reference to two objects of a.kind forming a pair, as in /len¢uóio/ 'bed-sheet', m.sg. both /len¢uola/ 'bed-sheets (in pairs)', f.pl., and /len¢uoli/ ~ 'bed-sheets (without reference to pairs) , m.pl. Further develop ment to a revived dual number2 did not take place because of homonymy with first-declension nouns and adjectives. In Old North French, there were only scattered survivals of such plurals, such as /bra¢ə/ 'arms' (also in the personal name /fierəbr¢ə/ 'StrongArms') or /čarrə/ 'carts'. Ibero-Romance did not continue any ambigenes.

196


In Gallo-Romance, however (and presumably also in pre-literary Catalan), final vowels except /-a/ dropped in most instances, with a resultant re-arrangement of substantival declensions. That cha racterized by /-a/ (or its later development to /-ə/ or /- /) re mained, in general, as such. In the others, though, the determin ing characteristic of declensions became the distribution of in flectional / - s / in the two remaining cases, oblique and nomina tive. Taking Old South French as an example, we can set up the declensions shown in Table XL, using as examples /dómna/ 'lady', /mur/ 'wall', /lívre/ 'book', /ka(n)/ 'dog', and /nás/ 'nose. La ter, when word-final /-s/ was almost wholly lost in Gallo-Ro mance, the category of case went with it (as mentioned in § 12.1). Sg. Decl.

Adjectives

The Romance languages have continued the basic pattern of hav ing two main sub-classes of adjectives, of which one distinguishes morphologically between feminine (normally with an ending derived from Proto-Romance /-a/) and masculine (with a different ending or none at all), and the other does not so distinguish. The first type of course continues the Proto-Romance class adj/I-II, and the second continues adj/III. Table XLII shows the Old South French adjective-declensions in relation to the noun-classes, and Table XLIII represents graphically their development from Proto-Romance.

198


adjectives, e.g. /dó^l¢ə/ 'sweet' or /grande/ 'large' ( ≠ PRom. 1137 /gránde/). 4 In other instances, adjectives have shifted their entire declension, as in the case of Olt. /trísto °a/ 'sad evil' ( ≠ PRom. 2 /trí^ste/ 'sad'). In the mediaeval and modern Romance languages, there have ari sen, on occasion, new declensional classes of adjectives when words have been introduced from outside sources. On occasion, aimilar formations may be of radically different origin. Both Ital ian and Spanish, for instance, now have adjectives with stem-vowel /i/. Italian /pari/ 'equal' is an indeclinable learnēd loan-word from Latin /pari-/ adj/III-A, of the same meaning. Spanish /kúrsi/ 'cheap, vulgar, "campy"', on the other hand, is a borrow ing from Maghrebian Arabic /kúrsi/ 'prestigious > arrogant > ped antic, presumptuous', and is (in at least some speakers' usage) variable, forming a plural /kúrsis/. 13.3.

Pronouns

The personal pronouns in the various Romance languages have remained, in general, quite faithful to their prototypes so far as their inflectional relations were involved. The use of the second person plural forms related to PRom. 420 / ó^s/ 'ye, you' as a manner of courteous address is considered to have arisen in Roman Imperial times, starting with the emperors' habit of refer ring to themselves as /nó^s/ 'we' and their courtiers' replying to them using the plural for 'you'. Later customs, wide-spread in Renaissance and modern Romance, involved the use of various third-person noun-phrases or related pronoun substitutes to ad dress some-one held in reverence ('your Highness, your Lordship, your Excellence'), e.g. Roumanian dumneata 'thy Lordship', dumneavoastra 'your Lordship'; various Italian formulas replaced by the third-person pronouns Ella, Lei 'she > you [sg.]', Loro 'they > you [p].]'; Spanish usted 'you [sg.]', ustedes 'you [pl.]'. 5 The details of these developments belong to the later history of the individual languages. Spanish and Portuguese have developed a form of the third-per son pronoun which refers, not to a specific person or thing, but simply to some situation as a whole or to some aspect of it. Spanish /ló/, Portuguese /ó/, as in Spanish /ló de mi tío/ 'the matter of my uncle', /ló buéno/ 'that which is good'. (In this last example, contrary to the dicta of virtually all traditional grammars, /lo/ is not a definite article modifying the adjective; it is a pronoun modified by the adjective). This form is usually termed lneuter', and considered to be a continuation of the Latin neuter demonstrative /illud/, with a special treatment of the fi nal syllable due to its ending in /d/. However, as I have argued elsewhere,6 this is a development restricted to Ibero-Romance, with no relation (semantically or phonologically) to /illud/, and better termed the 'abstract'.


199

A phenomenon which might have led to the development of an in definite pronoun meaning 'people in general, "one"' in all of Italo-Western Romance was the wide-spread use,in the mediaeval and early Renaissance vernaculars, of forms meaning 'man' and coming from PRom. 230 /ómo/, 49 /ómine/.7 Among the forms used in this way were Old Italian /uóm(o)/, , Old French (North and South) /óm/ from /ómo/; Catalan /ómə/, Spanish /ómbre/ ( < /ómne/), and Portuguese /óm / from /ómine/. In Imperial times, philosophical and religious writers used Latin homo in the sense of 'man in gen eral, man-kind'. Words from this source and in this meaning.were, until the seventeenth century, a feature common to Italo-Western Romance. However, they were largely used with the definite arti cle, and were, with the exception of North French /om/, 8 always stressed. They therefore remained homonymous with the correspond ing common count-noun for 'man'. In the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance, they were subject to increasing competition from syn onymous and less troublesome expressions for an indefinite prota gonist, such as the numeral for 'one' and the reflexive. North French was the only Romance language in which the to-be-expected development into a true indefinite pronoun took place. This was because the Old North French word for 'man', alone of the ItaloWestern Romance languages, had two declensional forms, /ómə/ ob lique, and /om/, nominative, which diverged in their phonemic shape due to sound-changes. The oblique /ómə/ became /om/ homme, and was used as the ordinary caseless count-noun for 'man', where as the nominative /om/ became /õ/. The last-mentioned form was now set adrift from its phonological relation to /om/ homme 'man', and was thereby enabled to develop the true indefinite pronominal function which it now fulfills in Modern French. 13.4.

Numerals

Most of the Romance languages have continued the Latin and Proto-Romance numeral-system fairly faithfully, for the numbers from 'one' through 'sixteen', for the 'tens',9 and for 'hundred' and 'thousand' respectively. Between 'seventeen' and 'nineteen', no Proto-Romance etyma can be set up. The Italo-Western languages agree on having the numeral for 'ten' followed by those for 'seven', 'eight', and 'nine'; but they differ in the conjunction (if any) used to connect the numerals. Ibero-Romance uses / i / 'and'; Italo-Romance, /a×/ (probably < / a k / ) ; Gallo-Romance, zero. The two chief exceptions to the above generalizations are found in Gallo- and Balkan Romance. In the former territory, Old North French made extensive use of the vigesimal system, i.e. reckoning the 'tens' from 'forty' onwards by scores, using the numeral /vínt/ 'twenty; a score'. 10 Thus, 'forty' was /dóûsvín¢/ 'two twenties, two-score'; 'sixty' was /tréîsvín¢/ 'three twen ties, three-score', etc. Modern standard French preserves relics of this system in /katrəv t quatre-vingts '80', and the reckoning of the numbers from '81' through '99( by the addition of the ap propriate terms from 'I' through '19', as in /katrəv trez/ qua

tre-vingt-treize

'93',

/katrəv

nœf/ quatre-vingt-neuf

99 , etc.

200


Another relic of the vigesimal system in modern standard French is the addition of /dis/ dix '10' through /diznœf/ dix-neuf '19' to /swasãt/ soixante '60' to form the numerals for '70' through '79', as in /swasãtkatorz/ soixante-quatorze

'74'.

In

certain dialects and also varieties of regional standard French, Speakers use /septãt/ s e p t a n t e , /uitat/ huitante

or /oktãt/ oc-

tante '80', and /nonãt/ nonante '90', with numerals from '1' to '10' added to signify the intermediate numbers, e.g. /septãtsis/ septante-six

'76'

instead of /swasãtsez/ soixante-seize.

In both

Belgium and Switzerland, many speakers use these more 'logical" numerals as a form of (minor) assertion of linguistic independence from the linguistic hegemony of metropolitan France. Roumanian went much farther than French in departing from the inherited Romance pattern for numerals beyond '10'. The system of counting by 'tens' was preserved, but with new phrasal combina tions from '20' through '90', consisting s imply of M U L T I P L I E R + 'TEN': /dóuəãzéči/ 'two tens = twenty', /tréizéči 'three tens = thirty', etc. The number for '100' is of Slavic origin: /suta/ '100', /douəzeč1 / '200', and so on. Those from '11' through '19' consist of phrases with the semantic pattern N U M E R A L + 'ON' + 'TEN': /unsprezéce/ '11', etc. These formations all follow Slavic patterns, and are among the features which give Roumanian the ap pearance of having grown out of a moderately, but not thoroughly well learned Popular Latin in the mouths of speakers of Slavic. 13.5.

Verbs

Romance verbs, like the other parts of speech, continue in ge neral the inherited organization of conjugations and stems. The basic pattern of three conjugations, with stem-vowels going back to /a/,/i^/,and/e/ or /e^/, respectively, is still recognizable in every non-creolized Romance language.11 The /a/- or "first" conjugation is still the most productive, to which new formations are normally assigned, as in twentieth-century Italian /allunáre/ 'to land upon the moon' ( : /luna/ 'moon'), or French /batike^/ batiquer

'to

do batik-WOrk' ( : /batik/ b a t i k ) , /šãpwine^/ cham-

puoiner 'to shampoo' ( : /šãpw / shampooing). The distinction be tween stems in PRom. stressed /é^/ (conjugation III-A) and un stressed /e/ (conjugation III-B) is in general preserved except in Ibero-Romance, where Spanish and Portuguese roots with stem-vowel /e/ have all been given the infinitive-ending /-ér/, going back to /-é^re/. Through special conditioned phonological change, Rouman ian has developed an added stem-vowel /i/, thus forming a new con jugation related to Proto-Romance II, as in /kobor-i-/ 'descend', /omor-i-/ 'kill'. 12

The chief new development in Romance verb-inflection which took place in early times (roughly during the Imperial period) was the extension of the stem-increment /-sk-/. 13 This element lost its "inchoative" force and came to be simply a sequence of pho nemes whose main function was to bear the word-accent in forms


201

which would otherwise have the stress fall on the root-syllable, as in PCRom. /flo^re^re/ 'to flower', say, but /flo^ré^sikt/ 'it

flowers', as opposed to an earlier /flo. ret/ in Latin. The suffix / + sk-/ could, in Latin, be used after a stem-vowel /a-/, /e. /, or / i . / , as in /inuetera.sk-/ 'to grow older', /kuie.sk-/ 'to rest', /obdormi.sk-/ 'to fall asleep'.14 Later, it became limited, in the lateral regions of Balkan and Ibero-Romance, to following /e^/, and in the central areas of ltalo- and Gallo-Romance to following /i/. In most regions, those verbs which added /sk/ to their roots came to belong to a special sub-section of Conjugation II (stemvowel /i/ or developments thereof). In this conjugation in Bal kan, ltalo- and Gallo-Romance, some roots (such as /dorm-/ 'to sleep') did not take the /sk/-increment, whereas others, such as /fin-/ 'to finish' did. The latter may, therefore, be given a special label, II-isK, with a special morphophonemic symbol //K// to represent a A / which is palatalized before a following front-vowel ending (or development thereof, including zero). Thus, Italian /fin-/ 'to finish' has /finísko/ 'I finish' and /finískono/ 'they finish', but /finíssi/ 'thou finishest' and /finisse/ 'he finishes'. Similarly, Roumanian /mul¢zum-/ 'to thank' has /mul¢umésk/ 'I thank, they thank', but /mul¢uméšte/ 'he thanks'. Old South French had /finísk/ 'I finish', /finískon/ 'they finish', but /finises/ 'thou finishest' and /finís/ 'he fin ishes' . In Ibero-Romance, however, verbs with a /sk/-increment passed into the /-er/-conjugation, and the / ¢ / which developed out of /sk/ before a front vowel was generalized, replacing the /s/ in forms like Old Spanish /meré¢o/ 'I deserve' (modern /meréθko/) ~ /meré¢e/ 'he deserves'. The Ibero-Romance verbs of this type have extended the / ¢ / (or its later developments to /e/ or /s/) to all forms of the verbs concerned, e.g. Spanish /mereeía/ 'he deserved', /mereeér/ 'to deserve'. As a result, these verbs do not form a separate conjugation in Ibero-Romance, and the /k/-increment is simply an element forming special allomorphic variants, as in /mereθk-/ ~ /mereθ-/.

The development of conjugations for each Romance language can be shown graphically, as in Table XLIII, again for Old South French. In the history of each language, individual verbs have of course shifted from one conjugation to another, a phenomenon which needs to be treated separately by language. Likewise, the history of the development of Stem C differs from one language to another, and can best be treated separately in individual histories. In some instances, the phonological de velopment of the stem-formant / / led to the extension of the re sultant /k/ or /g/ to entire tenses, as in Old South French /ak/ (morphophonemically //ag//, as in the Timeless C /ages-/ '(that) he had', and thence analogically to other verbs.

Indeclinables

There is little to say about indeclinables, since the chief classes remained pretty much the same from Proto-Romance onwards; what developments took place in the rise of allomorphic variants were conditioned by phonological changes in the individual lan guages. In the instance of the forms for 'behold' (coming from PRom. 1561 /ekke/ or 119 /ékku/), such as Old Spanish and Old French (South and North) /é¢/, Sardinian /ékku/, Italian /ékko/, their use with enclitic pronominal forms caused their development into a kind of "verbaloids", non-inflected but behaving syntac tically like imperatives. 15

10. Cf. Rösier 1910; Spitzer 1925; Rohlfs 1943; Reichenkron 1952. Some ascribe the use of the vigesimal system to a Keltic substratum, others to a Germanic superstratum; but adhuc sub judice lis est. 11. The inherited Romance conjugations are still recognizable in the derivational patterns of some Romance-based creoles, such as Haitian Creole; cf. Hall 1953: §2.141. 12. The occurrence of /i/ or /i/ after a root ending in /r/ cannot be predicted by phonological or morphological criteria, and therefore stems in / - ¿ - / must be considered as constituting a sep arate conjugation. 13.

DERIVATIONAL ELEMENTS

Romance continued the two basic patterns of affixation by the addition of suffixes and prefixes to derivational bases, with a considerable number of new elements from various sources. The formation of compounds, on the other hand, followed several new patterns, especially in the passage of syntactic combinations to the status of single words. 14.1.

Suffixation

To the suffixes enumerated in Chapter 7 were added others, in Imperial and post-Imperial times, from such sources as the fol lowing: 1. Greek, as in the verbal suffix / + ídi-/ '-ize' I/Reg/W, from / 4 ízein/ -iselv, in such words (principally of Christian origin) as/baptidi-/ 'to baptize' ( < /baptizein/ (βαπτíζειv 'to dunk'), or/skandalídi-/'to Scandalize' ( < /skandalizein/

oxavoaaiselv 'to cause to stumble, give offence'). This suffix became and has remained very productive in mediaeval and modern times, in Spanish / + é - / , French / + w a j - / , Italian / + egg-/, all of conjugation I, even in such nonce-formations as Italian mariiynmonroeggiare 'to act like Marilyn Monroe'. Another suffix of Greek origin formed abstract nouns in / + ia/ f/I ( < Greek / + i a - / ) , as in /melodía/ 'melody' ( < /melo-idia ./

μελφδiα 'a singing'), or in /mania/ 'madness' ( < /manía . / μ α v í α ) . This suffix, likewise, became very productive in the mediaeval Romance languages, as in Old French /fәloníә/ 'felony', Italian /gelosía/ 'jealousy', Spanish /alegría/ 'cheerfulness', or Roumanian /avu¢íә/ 'riches'. 2. Learned usage, bringing back into every-day usage a number of elements which had survived in High and Late Classical Latin. Among these were such suffixes as / + íuu-/ '-ive' adj/I-II, espe cially through grammatical and medical vocabulary, 2 or / + antia/, / + entia/ '-ance, -ence' f/I, formed originally on present parti ciples and then becoming independent suffixes in their own right. 3 In this way, such adjectives as /affirmati. uu-/ 'affirmative' and /aborti . uu-/ 'abortive' served as starting-points for the use of this suffix to form both adjectives and nouns (of both f/I and n/II in Latin or m/II-A in Romance) in both Latin and the verna culars. For the latter suffix, such forms as /essentia/ 'essence'


205

became frequent in philosophical and religious writing. In popu lar or semi-popular usage, we find such forms as Roumanian /stiín¢a/, Italian /sién¢a/, French /siãs/, Spanish /¢ićn¢ia/, all

'science'. Later, the ending / + án¢a/ was often extended to ele ments of Germanic origin, as in Italian /baldán¢a 'boldness' ( : /bald-/ 'bold, daring'. The process of borrowing Latin and Graeco-Latin words, with their suffixes, has continued uninterruptedly down the centuries, through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to modern times, and is still going on. Even in the earliest vernacular texts with any literary pretensions, we find such Latinisms as Old North French /redemp¢zió^n/ ' r e d e m p t i o n ' , / s a k r әm e n t / 'sacrament' or / o s p i t á l /

'hospital', or Italian /ğustí¢ia/ 'justice'. We have chosen these examples so as to illustrate the creation of pairs of doublets. In these instances, the words cited took their place beside the popular developments /rәðen¢ón/ (later /ran¢on/, modern /rãso/ rançon) 'ransom', /særment/ 'oath', /ostæl/ 'hostel', and /ğústé^¢¢a/ 'rightness' respectively. In this way, a number of suffixes of learned origin re-entered Romance usage, such as French/ + al/or Italian / + í¢ia/ just exemplified. 3. Various other sub- or adstrata, often unidentified, con tributed suffixal elements, such as / + í(^)tt-/ diminutive, adj/I-II and noun f/I and m/II-A, very widely used in ltalo-, Gallo-, and Ibero-Romance, in such forms as Italian / + é^tt-/ (e.g. /licen¢iose^tto/ 'rather irresponsible' (A. Fogazzaro), French / + é ^ t / m., / + é^tә/ f. (as in /blance^tә/ 'whitish' f.Sg.,

/ricardé^t/'little Richard, Dick' 4 ), or Spanish / + ít-/ (e.g. /karríto/ 'little cart'.

4. Germanic languages contributed certain derivational ele ments to Romance, especially where there were lengthy periods of bilingualism (e.g. with speakers of Visigothic in Castile, of Langobard in northern Italy, and especially of Frankish, i.e. a kind of pre-Dutch-Flemish, in northern France). Such Germanic suffixes as / + áld-/ are found in, say, Old North French /rәnált/ Renaît and Italian /rináldo/ Rinaldo (proper names); / árd-/ in ONFr. /ricárt/ Richart, Italian /rikkárdo/ Riccardo, Spanish /rikárdo/ Ricardo; Or / + i n / in ONFr. /flamé^nk/ 'Fleming' ( >

modern /fiama d / flamand, with change of morphophonemics in the final consonant), Italian /fiammíngo/ id. In some instances, these suffixes were also added to Romance bases, as in ONFr. /cambrәié^nk/ 'chamberlain', /vielárt/ 'old man', and probably also /bastárt/ (Ital. and Span. /bastardo/) 'illegitimate child', formed on /bást-/'burden', through the semantic development 'beast of burden > mule > of mixed origin' (cf. Span. /muláto/). 5 14.2.

Prefixation

A number of elements which had, in Latin and Proto-Romance, been prepositions and had formed compounds, especially with verbs

206


(cf. §§ 8.1, 9.14, 9.21) ceased to be used as free forms and came to occur only as bound forms before other words, i.e. as prefixes. Among these were 1530 /pro^ + / 'for, pro-', 1632 /su x / ~ /sub/, and 1651 /kon/ 'with' (in those regions where it was replaced by other prepositions such as ONFr. /avuék/ < /abok/ 'with this'). To these prefixes were added others of Germanic origin such as /mis + / 'mis-, wrongly' and /for + / 'wrongly', as in ONFr. /mesdírә/ 'to speak evil of, to curse', Ital. /miskon6^ssere/ 'to refuse to re cognize, disregard', or ONFr. /forveîær/ 'to take or send on the wrong way'. This latter prefix was, in North French, homophonous with and became confused with /fors/ < PRom. 261 /fóri^s/ 'out side'. 14.3.

Patterns of Compounding

Certain patterns of compounding are clearly very old, al though they do not seem to go back as far as Proto-Romance times, since they are not present in Roumanian or Sardinian. The most wide-spread of these is the combination of V E R B - S T E M 6

+ NOUN,

with the latter having the meaning of a direct object, and with the compound meaning 'person or thing who does x to y'. Such compounds are very frequent and easily formed in Ibero- and Italo-Romance, and only somewhat less so in Gallo-Romance, as in Spanish /botafuego/ 'person or thing which throws fire; matchstick; irritable person', Italian /pòrtabagálli/ 'man who carries luggage; porter', or French /esuime/ 'that which dries hands, hand-towel'. No single specific combination can be reconstructed, even for Proto-Italo-Western Romance; as Leonard Bloomfield said of a similar situation in the Algonquian languages, "the meaning is modern, but the habit of formation is old." In other instances, phrases were fused together to form single words, especially in place-names like Italian /altavilla/, Old North French /hàltәvílә/ (modern French /'o^tvil/ Hauteville < /áltauí^lla/ 'high town'. The history of these formations, like that of the other derivational patterns discussed in this chapter, belongs in the story of the individual languages.

3.

Cf. Malkiel 1945.

4.

This suffix was so common in Old French proper names as to


207

be extracted and used humorously as a nonce-formation by Henry of Andely in his La Bataille des sept arts in the expression les etz 'the " - e t s " , the men whose names ended in -et'; cf. Jenkins 1933:44-45. In exactly the same way, we can speak in modern Eng lish of a girl in her teens, taking up all kinds of isms and ologies.

5.

Cf. Hall 1962b.

6. That this element in these compounds is a verbal stem, not an imperative, is shown by such phenomena as the use of substitute stem-vowels in formations like Italian /fàčidánno/ 'evil-doer, mischief-maker', with /faciV ≠ the imperative /fá x /; cf. Hall 1948c. 7.

APPENDICES

FURTHER COMPARATIVE TABLES

This appendix fulfills a function parallel to that of the si milar list appended to Volume 2 of this series (Hall 1976:a:207265), in that it contains tables showing the material on which are based our comparisons leading to the reconstruction of a further series of Proto-Romance etyma. We have followed the same basic scheme, that of listing the number assigned to the etymon, the available forms in the eight major Romance languages (with dialec tal variants where relevant), 1 the reconstructed Proto-Romance form, the corresponding Latin word where there is one, and the lemma in the third edition of Meyer-Lübke's Romanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch under which related forms are gathered. The ear liest available forms are normally cited. The sets are not in al phabetical order. NOTE 1. As in the previous volumes, Rhaeto-Romance (Friulian, Ladin, and the various dialects of Romansh) is regarded as belonging to North Gallo-Romance, and hence available for comparative purpo ses when no related North French form (standard or dialectal) is available.

APPENDIX II LIST OF PROTO-ROMANCE WORDS

This section, like the corresponding appendix in Hall 1976a, provides an alphabetical list of the Proto-Romance words recon structed in this volume (nos. 724, 939, 1491-2275). In the alpha betical listing, vowel-letters follwed by / V come after the simple vowel-letters without /^/; thus, for example,/kúî/ comes after /kúte/. In like manner, /ĩ/ follows both /i/ and /i^/, and /u/ follows /u/ and /u^/. ab 'from' 1554 ab 'with' 1624 abellána 2182 abellánu 2183 aberrare 1671 abestra 1618 ábigo 1525 abigó^ne 1525 abínde 1573 abínke 1574 abíntro 1619 aborrí^re 167 3 abortare °i^re 2247 abultra 1620 abunda 1575 abunde 1575 abu^ta 2269 addormí^re 1550 ade^skáre 1538 adípsu 1576 ad ake^re 1560 ad úngere 1577 adoperáre 1598 ado^ráre 1595 adu^náre 1601 aduíks 1578 affo^káre 2014 aggrauáre 1644 aggreuiáre 1655 agní^le 1677 agní^nu 2212 aí^× 1572 a ú^ta 1641 akérbu 2184
