Gvozdanović, Jadranka 2024 Chapter 9. Modality across semantic spaces: Modal ‘have to’ in Slavic and theoretical implications Historical Linguistics 2019: Selected papers from the 24th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Canberra, 1–5 July 2019, Evans, Bethwyn, Maria Kristina Gallego and Luisa Miceli (eds.), pp. 216–239 | Chapter

This paper investigates the principles of modal development across modal domains, and the capacity of modal maps to account for these developments. The starting point is a relative newcomer in Slavic, the modal ‘have to’ + infinitive construction, which came to partially replace the older dative… read more

Gvozdanović, Jadranka 2020 Introduction: Development of tense and aspect systems Development of tense and aspect systems, Gvozdanović, Jadranka (ed.), pp. 153–166 | Introduction

This introduction discusses the construal of temporal categories, their connection with spatial categories and general principles of the patterning of time in language. Transfers between categories and up language hierarchies are frequent types of change. It is shown how aspect may either lose or… read more

Gvozdanović, Jadranka 2019 Changes of tense and modality in Late Mediaeval Slovene: Transference, extension or both?

Joseph, Kirsten Jeppesen Kragh and Lene Schøsler (eds.), pp. 395–409 | Chapter

The paper analyses the typology of change processes proposed by Andersen (2001, 2006) by minutely investigating semantic and pragmatic properties of temporal categories in the earliest Slovene texts, which emerged under German cultural influence, but preserved primacy of system-motivated… read more

Gvozdanović, Jadranka 2019 Chapter 15. Early Indo-European dialects and innovations of aspect systems Historical Linguistics 2015: Selected papers from the 22nd International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Naples, 27-31 July 2015, Cennamo, Michela and Claudia Fabrizio (eds.), pp. 301–318 | Chapter

Dialectal grouping of early Indo-European is usually reconstructed by listing phonological, grammatical, and lexical similarities, without asking the question of whether these properties constitute typologically coherent sets that may have determined further developments. Moreover, the dialectal… read more

Gvozdanović, Jadranka 2015 Evaluating prehistoric and early historic linguistic contacts Historical Linguistics 2013: Selected papers from the 21st International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Oslo, 5-9 August 2013, Haug, Dag T.T. (ed.), pp. 89–108 | Article

This paper discusses methods for evaluating potential language contacts before the earliest written documents. It shows that both evaluation of (usually) sparse empirical evidence and typological evaluation are required for an explanation. Of paramount importance are considerations of specificity… read more

Gvozdanović, Jadranka 2012 Criteria for differentiating inherent and contact-induced changes in language reconstruction Historical Linguistics 2009: Selected papers from the 19th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Nijmegen, 10-14 August 2009, Kemenade, Ans M.C. van and Nynke de Haas (eds.), pp. 49–68 | Article

The paper discusses two progressive accent shifts which happened in Slavic during the post-migrational period before the end of the first millennium AD. Both shifts cross-cut the preceding pattern in Slavic, yet the first of these was relatively general and the second was highly restricted. In… read more
