I found another version of the explanation, a consistent repetition of words.
This summer, Academician Vladimir Plungyan, as part of a group of linguists, traveled to the Pamirs to study the Shumnan language (100,000 native speakers). The main city is Khorog, Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region.
Here is what he reports on the features of this language.
In the past tense, the endings of verbs are separated from the stem and exist as separate independent words, which can be significantly removed from the verb. Plungyan classifies these independent words (endings) as “Clitics”.
It turns out that if the sentence is enumerating actions (different verbs in the same form), then the endings of each of them can be sequential.
If we apply this feature to the Russian language, then we will get 36 forms endings of the past tense (which is comparable with the number of the most popular short words MV).
And one more thing, if a similar feature existed in the Russian language.
The endings of verbs in the Russian language differ by one letter in case of a change in the verb by gender (female, male, middle gender of the noun with which the verb is associated). In this case, an explanation of the presence in the text of the words with a change of one character appears.
Russian speakers can listen to the interview from 31 min.- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
