{"pk":35176,"title":"Old Literary Tibetan scogs (CT sogs) “among others”: Etymology, constructions, and idiomatisation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The paper is the first attempt at reconstructing the word-family of \nscogs\n “among others” and detecting its manifold uses in OLT texts. The morpheme is traced back to a v4-stem of the verb √sʦog (CT v1 \ngsog\n), lit. “to cause to assemble”, itself derived from the verb root √ʦog by means of the causative prefix \ns\n-. After discussing its probable cognates and demonstrating historical links between them, I examine the ten constructions attested in the OLT corpus which contain the morpheme: finite clause, adverbial clause with past passive participle (I & II), post-head relative clause, R-dislocation, relative clause extraposition, pre-head relative clause, off-subject nominalisation, and idiomatic phrase (I & II). The paper sketches the lexicalisation path taken by the morpheme from a finite verb to an idiomatic phrase.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Old Literary Tibetan, etymology, historical syntax"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/43b8d137","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Joanna","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bialek","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Asian and African Studies\nHumboldt-Universität\nBerlin\nGermany","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2022-03-18T17:33:33Z","date_accepted":"2022-03-18T17:33:33Z","date_published":"2022-12-31T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/himalayanlinguistics/article/35176/galley/26186/download/"}]}
