К описанию шугнанской морфонологии: предварительные замечания
С. 178–193.
Makarov Y., Plungian V.
In these notes, we would like to draw attention to the extremely rich and diverse system of vocalic and consonantal alternations attested in the Shughni language. We will consider only the Shughni material (as best documented to date), although the phenomena under consideration are in most cases characteristic of other Pamir languages and can be considered their common feature. The peculiar systems of alternations of the Pamir languages, of course, are of considerable interest not only for Iranian studies, but also for areal typology and for that part of the general theory of language that deals with the interaction of morphology and phonology (or, as it is fashionable to say now, interface problems).

The paper is devoted to the variable number marking in Shughni
nouns and reports the results of corpus and experimental studies. In some languages,
including Shughni, the marking of plural nouns is not compulsory. Many
factors such as animacy, referentiality, morphological and semantic properties,
or syntactic position may determine the presence or absence of number marking.
The corpus study investigates ...

The paper focuses on the development and decline of secondary lability in the Shughni-Rushani languages (Iranian branch, Indo-European family). It provides an overview of the phenomena that fall under the definition of lability in these languages, particularly secondary P-lability, A-lability, and labile complex verbs. The study describes the pathways through which secondary P-lability arose in ...

This article presents the results of a study on the narrative functions of verb tenses in Shughni. Shughni is an Eastern Iranian language with a compact TAME system, which has tensed evidentials (with Preterite being the direct past and Perfect, the indirect past) and lacks grammaticalized aspect. The current study analyzes five narrations of the ...

The article is dedicated to the morphosyntactic properties and grammatical functions of the Shughni marker -ard. Shughni, like many other Iranian languages, has a reduced case system that seems to be gradually evolving and expanding. We demonstrate that the marker -ard is one of the main candidates for the status of a new case marker ...

В фокусе этого исследования находится особый тип копулы шугнанского языка — выраженные формы глагола vidow ‘быть’, которые встречаются только в узком круге контекстов, объединённых ирреальной семантикой. Контексты использования vidow можно классифицировать следующим образом: целевые клаузы, оптативные клаузы с показателями lāk, di nay, aga nay, дезидеративные клаузы с предикатом fortow ‘хотеться’, модальные конструкции с boyad ‘деонт. ...

The article highlights the main semantic and grammatical properties of locative nouns claiming the status of relational nouns in Shughni (an Eastern Iranian language spoken in the Pamirs). Firstly, I identify the main nouns belonging to this category on the basis of available grammars and examples from D. Karamshoev’s Shughni–Russian dictionary and the Shughni corpus. ...

The article is devoted to the problem of standardization of the alphabet for the Shughni language, a burning issue for the Shughni people of Tajikistan. Although de facto Shughni has been used in writing for a long time now, it still does not have a stable orthography. One of the reasons for this is not ...

The paper is devoted to the basic principles of verbal colexification defined at the cross-linguistic
level. We understand colexification as a non-random association of two or more meanings within one
and the same lexical item. We argue that these associations, reproducing in different languages, should
follow certain principles and form clear patterns. Drawing on our extensive experience of ...

“Defective” verb žīwǰ ‘love’ in Shughni only has the Perfect stem, but lacks Present and Preterite stems. Instead, to express these tenses, Shughni uses complex verbs with auxiliary verbs čīdow ‘do’ and vidow ‘be’. This paper attempts to describe the distribution of three constructions: the independent žīwǰ and the two complex verbs which use it, ...

Many Iranian languages have developed differential object marking (DOM). Since many languages have lost case inflection, special markers were used to mark a direct object. In different Iranian languages, DOM may depend on different factors: specificity hierarchy; tense and aspect or information structure [Windfuhr 2009: 33; Bossong 1985]. In Shughni special marking of an object ...

This paper describes the semantics of one of the verb forms in Shughni, traditionally called Perfect. This form displays many areally-motivated typological similarities with perfects in other languages of Western and Central Asia. In particular, Shughni has developed an evidential opposition between the Preterite and the Perfect, in which the Perfect is used for non-witnessed ...
