Subject: Traces of Historic Linguistic Traits in Émigrés
E-mail this message to a friend It is sometimes argued that in order to find vestiges of historic linguistic traits no longer present in a given area, one may investigate (descendants of) émigré communities who were physically isolated from their country of origin and the processes of language change that subsequently took place there. What would be some good examples?
Thank you very much in advance.
Respectfully,
