Balochi: a cross-dialect investigation of post-verbal elements
Uppsala University, Disciplinary Domain of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Languages, Department of Linguistics and Philology.
2023 (English)In: Post-predicate elements in the Western Asian Transition Zone: A corpus-based approach to areal typology / [ed] Geoffrey Haig, Mohammad Rasekh-Mahand, Donald Stilo, Laurentia Schreiber and Nils Schiborr, Language Science , 2023Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This chapter investigates word order in three Balochi varieties: Coastal (CoB), Koroshi (KoB) and Turkmenistan (TB). The close genetic relationship among the three dialects, coupled with their areal dispersion make Balochi an ideal test case for investigating the effects of areality. All are predominantly OV; CoB and KoB share predominantly post-verbal goals (VG), but TB has lower rates, confirming the expected drop of VG with increasing distance from the Mesopotamian core of the Western Asian Transition Zone. Conversely, KoB has the highest rates of post-verbal goals, and the highest frequency of prepositional flagging, confirming an increase in head-initial structures for these features at locations closest to Mesopotamia.
