Integration Models for Romance Substantive Loans in Resian (and beyond)

Abstract

This contribution is an updated and expanded version of Steenwijk (1990), drawing on the progress made in Slovene dialectology in recent decades and a deeper understanding of the issue. The most important results are: 1) an appreciation of the contribution of colonial Venetian to the Resian lexicon (amïg; satmićërih); 2) the determination of the spread of the integration models discussed in Slovene dialects in direct contact with Friulian; 3) the identification of the phonetic substitution fur., vec. -òŋ = slv. -ón (fur., vec. rasòŋ = slv. ražón); 4) the identification of the morphological model fur. V:C(-sonora)# :: slv. V:C(+sonora)- (fur. solda:t :: slv. solda:t, Gsg solda:da); 5) a separation between the suffixes -n- and -in- and a classification of the latter according to its scope of application (kolíndrin; oćálini; bánjo, Gsg bánjina); 6) the formulation of a distribution criterion for the two suffixes -n- and -h- in Friulian loanwords on the one hand and Venetian and/or Italian loanwords on the other (lárin; bacadárih).
