| Citazioni | Analogy may not only refashion forms within the confines of a related cluster of forms (a 'paradigm') but may extend its influence far beyond. In the group of West Germanic dialects [...] we still have these four cases, but the phonetic form of the case syllables is already greatly reduced and in certain paradigms particular cases have coalesced. The analogy of simpler and more numerously represented paradigms created the form 'fote' (compare, e.g., 'fisc' 'fish,' dative singular 'fisce'). |
