Prinzipien der Irregularisierung

Irregularität und Systemangemessenheit

“…etwa Werner 1989, Nübling 2000 und die Diskussion von Wurzel 1997und Gaeta 2007b. In dieser Hinsicht geht Nübling (2001: 54) davon aus, dass "irregularity ... can also be "created" actively by innovative processes", wobei die dahinter stehende sprachökonomische Begründung mit "the advantage of protecting the forms which become increasingly shorter under the effects of high token frequency from homophony (syncretism)" zu tun habe.…”

How to Live Naturally and not be Bothered by Economy

“…Nübling (2000Nübling ( , 2001Nübling ( , 2005 postulates the existence of two different irregularization strategies, which explain the strong degree of idiosyncracy typical of highly frequent verbs such as HAVE and SAY in the Germanic languages (and in many other language families, too) -the so-called reductive and non-reductive irregularizations. Together with a number of other strategies (such as overdifferentiation, boundary crossings, etc., cf.…”

The development of “junk”. Irregularization strategies of have and say in the Germanic languages

“…Since we must reckon with irregular developments at any time, it would be contradictory to use reconstructed forms which are always based on regular developments. In the case of the irregularizations, we will limit our analysis tot only the most important strategies (for more details, see Nübling 2000). For reasons of space, we cannot list every individual paradigm (see, however, Tables 2 and 3, which contain the most important forms of HAVE and SAY).…”

“…For further criticism of these terms see Vincent (1993). See Ronneberger-Sibold 1980, Werner 1987a,b and 1989, Fenk-Oczlon 1989, Harnisch 1988, Nübling (2000. 4 Already Old High German (OHG) haben -although originally a regular verb of the weak en dass -tends to different irregularizations.…”

“…Frlsianjaan 'give', see Nübling (2000». -11 For more details see Nübling (2000), where the reduction and irregularization strategies of ten verbs in ten Germanic languages are examined: HAVE, BECOME, GIVE, TAKE, COME, SAY, BE, DO, GO, STAND. 12 This finding also applies to the Romance languages. In what way all of these described processes are connected to the individuallanguage or language type would be an interesting topic of research in a contrastive study.…”
