A Cognitive Model of "Redundant" Verb Paradigm: a Quantative Analisis
The article is based on data from the Google Books corpus and describes the evolutionary dynamics of competing forms of verbs with variability of suffixes “-‘a’-/-‘ya’-//-yva-/-iva-“ (i.e., izgotovlyat’ / izgotavlivat’ - ‘to produce’). The paper analyses the exposure of the "center" and "periphery" of “redundant” paradigm to linguistic changes.
