KABARDIAN
AND VOWELLESS LANGUAGES. KEVIN TUITE, MONTREAL. PUBLISHED ON THE
NET. {The idea that languages without vowels exist
is an enduring urban myth, the linguistic equivalent of the crocodile in
the sewer or the poodle in the microwave. Those who have made a careful
study of allegedly vowelless languages now maintain that there simply isn't
any such thing. One of the most actively discussed cases was the phonological
system of Kabardian, one of the Northwest Caucasian (NWC) or Abxaz-Adyghean
languages. After a lively exchange of articles between Aert Kuipers, Morris
Halle and others, over the possibility of an adequate phonologization of
NWC languages which made no use of vowel phonemes, more recent analyses
(e.g. those of John Colarusso in Canada, Catherine Paris in Paris, and
of the majority of indigenous specialists in the Caucasus itself) require
at least two, sometimes three vowel phonemes -- or more accurately, clusters
of vocalic features, to generate a surprisingly rich inventory of phonetic
vowels. (Interested readers should consult Colarusso's recently-published
Grammar of the Kabardian Language). By the way, I have heard several NWC
languages spoken, including a bit of Kabardian, and none of them would
give a naive listener the impression of vowellessness. They have nothing
to compare to those celebrated Bella Coola or Wishram jawbreakers, which
sound a bit as though the speaker was trying to whisper and eat granola
at the same time. ... At the same time, as I read through some of the contributions
to the Great Kabardian Debate, I was struck by just how close people like
Kuipers got to their goal of eliminating vowels from the phonology. The
arguments often hinged on the analysis of a handful of minimal pairs, which
required an opposition of height or length. Were these lexical items --
some of them borrowings from Turkish or Arabic -- to be magically erased
from the vocabulary, would we have to admit Kuiper's phonologization as
adequate, and therefore a (phonemically) vowelless language as compatible
with universal constraints on human phonological systems? I honestly don't
know
the answer, nor do I know enough NWC to attempt a thought-experiment along
these lines (My field experience is to the southwest of NWC territory,
in the Kartvelian-speaking highlands of Georgia). As some of you may know,
Winfried Lehmann maintains in all seriousness that an anterior stage of
Proto-Indo-European was phonemically vowelless, though equipped with a
feature of sonority which triggered a vocalic realization of sonant phonemes.
To sum up, I for one would prefer that we not rule out the POSSIBILITY
of vowellessness, despite the absence of an attested example. A cautionary
tale: A well-known syntactician once gave a paper demonstrating that languages
with OSV and OVS word order were excluded by universal grammar. A missionary
linguist, recently returned from South America, raised his hand and politely
explained that such languages did indeed exist, but that all known examples
were spoken by small indigenous communities in a little-explored region
of northern Amazonia. One can only speculate on what linguistic diversity
might have vanished without a trace in the Americas, Oceania -- or Europe,
for that matter.}

ON THE DICTIONARIES OF KABARDIAN, ADIGHE, ABKHAZ AND OTHER DIALECTS.
THERE IS A LIST OF 14 NORTHWEST CAUCASIAN DICTIONARIES. "ABKHAZ-ABAZA,
CIRCASSIAN AND UBYKH [=UBYX] ARE CHARACTERISED BY LARGE CONSONANTAL INVENTORIES
(COUPLED WITH MINIMAL VOWEL-SYSTEMS), BY MAINLY MONOSYLLABIC ROOT-MORPHEMES,
AND BY AN EXTREME POLYPERSONALISM WITHIN THE VERBAL SYSTEM, WHEREBY VIRTUALLY
THE ENTIRE SYNTACTIC STRUCTURE OF THE CLAUSE IS RECAPITULATED IN THE VERBAL
COMPLEX. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY DICTIONARY OF MANAGEABLE PROPORTIONS
TO LIST ALL POTENTIALLY OCCURRING VERB-FORMS (EVEN IF RESTRICTED UNIQUELY
TO 3rd PERSON ILLUSTRATIONS, AS IN SOME SOVIET LEXICONS). BUT, SINCE MORPHOLOGICAL
IRREGULARITY IS NOT TYPICAL OF THESE LANGUAGES, ONE CAN QUESTION WHETHER
THERE IS ANY NEED TO INCLUDE SUCH ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE FORMATIONS AS REFLEXIVE,
RECIPROCAL, BENEFACTIVE, POTENTIAL, CAUSATIVE, 'PARTICIPIAL' AND TENSE-MODAL
FORMS FOR THE VERBS, AND (IN)DEFINITE AND/OR PLURAL FORMS FOR THE NOUNS.
... WITHIN THE USSR THE WEST CIRCASSIAN AND EAST CIRCASSIAN LITERARY LANGUAGES
(BASED ON THE TEMIRGOI AND KABARDIAN DIALECTS RESPECTIVELY) HAVE, TOGETHER
WITH ABAZA, BEEN WRITTEN WITH A CYRILLIC-BASED SCRIPT SINCE 1938 (1936
FOR KABARDIAN), THOUGH THERE IS OFTEN NO UNIFORM REPRESENTATION OF IDENTICAL
SOUNDS. IN EACH CASE THE ONE ADDITIONAL LETTER IS THE OLD CYRILLIC CAPITAL
I,
WHICH MARKS ALL EJECTIVES IN TEMIRGOI, SOME EJECTIVES IN KABARDIAN AND
EITHER EJECTIVITY OR PHARYNGAL ARTICULATION IN ABAZA: CYRILLIC ORDERING
IS FOLLOWED. THE RICH CONSONANTISM OF THESE LANGUAGES CAN ONLY BE HANDLED
IN THIS WAY BY THE USE OF DI- AND TRIGRAPHS, AND KABARDIAN EVEN HAS ONE
TETRAGRAPH"} GO

PAPER PRESENTED AT THE
TENTH BIENNIAL NON-SLAVIC LANGUAGES (NSL) CONFERENCE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF CHICAGO THURSDAY-SATURDAY, 8-10 MAY 1997. {"This
ambitious and exhaustively researched etymological dictionary and comparative
grammar purports to demonstrate genetic unity of Northeast Caucasian (Nakh-Daghestanian)
and Northwest Caucasian (Abkhaz-Circassian) and offers a reconstructed
protolanguage. It assumes relatedness between these two families, assembles
cognate sets accordingly, and finds regular correspondences within the
cognate sets. However, its method has four flaws: (1) failure to demonstrate
genetic relatedness before proceeding to correspondences; (2) proposing
cognate sets and correspondences for Nakh-Daghestanian that are not what
is demanded by purely internal comparison of this family; (3) non-verisimilitudinous
protolanguage and protoforms; (4) phonologization of what are rather clearly
morphological alternations. (There are also some minor problems with the
Proto-Nakh reconstruction due to use of imperfect sources.) The consequence
is that there is no evidence for North Caucasian genetic unity (an important
issue, since Proto-North-Caucasian is the cornerstone of the far-reaching
Dene-Caucasian mega-group). This shows that flawless application of Neogrammarian
method, with demonstration of regular correspondences, does not prove genetic
relatedness. [The exact content and conclusions are subject to change as
I work through more of the Nikolaev-Starostin monograph.]" THE

{"THE
KABARDIAN LANGUAGE CONSTITUTES THE EASTERN BRANCH OF THE CIRCASSIAN OR
ADYGHE LANGUAGE-GROUP, THE WESTERN SUBDIVISION OF WHICH IS KNOWN AS KYAKH.
THESE TWO LANGUAGES ARE CLOSELY RELATED; THEIR RESPECTIVE SPEAKERS SOON
LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY. ... THE KABARDIANS
OCCUPY THE AREA OF THE RIVERS MALKA, BAK(H)SAN AND CHEREK ("GREAT KABARDA")
AND A STRIP OF LAND EAST OF THE TEREK ("LITTLE KABARDA"). ... CULTURALLY,
THE KABARDIANS DIFFERED FROM THEIR WESTERN RELATIVES IN THAT THEY FORMED
A WELL-DEVELOPED FEUDAL COMMUNITY, WHEREAS THE WESTERN CIRCASSIANS PRESERVED
TRIBAL DIVISIONS AND A PATRIARCHAL STRUCTURE OF SOCIETY. THIS STATE OF
AFFAIRS IS REFLECTED IN THE LANGUAGES: WESTERN CIRCASSIAN SHOWS MORE MARKED
DIALECT-DIVISIONS THAN KABARDIAN, WHICH IS ON THE WHOLE COMPARATIVELY HOMOGENEOUS.
... DUE TO THEIR GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION NEAR THE DARIAL PASS AND TO THE
DOMINATING POLITICAL ROLE THEY PLAYED IN THE CENTRAL CAUCASUS, THE KABARDIANS
WERE THE FIRST OF THE CIRCASSIANS TO COME UNDER RUSSIAN CONTROL (BEGINNING
OF THE 19th CENTURY). A NUMBER OF KABARDIANS LEFT THEIR HOMELAND AT THIS
TIME AND SETTLED BETWEEN THE UPPER KUBAN AND ZELENCHUK RIVERS (THE SO-CALLED

TENTH BIENNIAL NON-SLAVIC LANGUAGES (NSL) CONFERENCE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF CHICAGO THURSDAY-SATURDAY, 8-10 MAY 1997. {"Prof.
Nichols has raised four objections to the method employed in the North
Caucasian Etymological Dictionary by S. Nikolayev and me. It is rather
difficult to respond to those objections before they are explicitly stated,
so my response and conclusions are subject to change as I hear more of
Prof. Nichols¹ arguments. By now I can only state that: (1) genetic
relatedness of North Caucasian languages was demonstrated already in the
classic works of Trubetzkoy, who used exactly the right method to do that,
namely, establishing regular phonetic correspondences; as far as I know,
no other method can be used for that purpose; (2) all cognate sets and
correspondences for Nakh-Daghestanian in NCED are proposed exclusively
on the basis of internal comparison of the languages of this family; (3)
the proposed protolanguage has exactly the same typological features as
most modern North Caucasian languages, so I would like to know what is
so non-verisimilitudinous about it; (4) morphological alternations
(usually called morphonological or morphophonemic) are known to usually
reflect original phonological changes, and certainly were employed for
reconstruction, as it is common in all known language families. ... Finally,
I must state that the North Caucasian reconstruction itself has nothing
to do with the Sino-Caucasian or Dene-Caucasian hypothesis. Only internal
Caucasian evidence was used to achieve this reconstruction, and no other
method was used except the classical Neogrammarian method - which so far
stays the absolutely primary tool of comparative linguistics."

(PRELIMINARY
TITLE). V. A. CHIRIKBA. DISSERTATION SUBMITTED AT LEIDEN UNIVERSITY. {"THE
INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES OF THE CAUCASUS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS:
WEST CAUCASIAN, EAST CAUCASIAN AND KARTVELIAN, OR SOUTH CAUCASIAN. THE
LANGUAGES OF THE (NORTH-)WEST CAUCASIAN GROUP ARE ABKHAZ, CIRCASSIAN AND
THE NOW EXTINCT UBYKH. THE WEST AND EAST CAUCASIAN GROUPS BELONG TO THE
NORTH CAUCASIAN LINGUISTIC FAMILY, WHILE THE KARTVELIAN LANGUAGES FORM
AN INDEPENDENT, UNRELATED FAMILY. ... THE WEST CAUCASIAN LANGUAGES CONSIST
OF CLOSELY RELATED DIALECTS: CIRCASSIAN OF ADYGHE AND KABARDIAN, ABKHAZ
OF ABKHAZ PROPER AND ABAZA. NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT PAST DIALECTICAL DIVISIONS
OF UBYKH. BY 1850 THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SPEAKING WEST CAUCASIAN LANGUAGES
AMOUNTED TO ABOUT ONE MILLION, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE CIRCASSIAN. THE
RUSSIAN COLONISATION DRAMATICALLY CHANGED THE ETHNOLINGUISTIC SITUATION,
AS MANY ABKHAZIANS AND CIRCASSIANS HAD TO FLEE TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. THE
UBYKH AND THE SADZIAN ABKHAZIANS EMIGRATED COMPLETELY. IN TURKEY, THE UBYKH
LOST THEIR LANGUAGE. ... AT PRESENT, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ABKHAZO-ADYGHEANS
LIVING IN THE CAUCASUS IS ABOUT 800,000. CIRCASSIANS LIVE IN THE ADYGHE,
KABARDINO-BALKAR AND KARACHAY-CHERKESS REPUBLICS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
THE ABKHAZIANS LIVE IN THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA, WHICH RECENTLY SECEDED
FROM GEORGIA. THE ABAZAS LIVE IN KARACHAY-CHERKESSIA. IN ADDITION, MORE
THAN A MILLION ABKHAZO-ADYGHEANS, LIVE IN THE DIASPORA, MAINLY IN TURKEY
AND OTHER MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES. ... MY PROJECT INCLUDES THE PHONOLOGICAL
DESCRIPTION OF ALL DIALECTS OF WEST CAUCASIAN LANGUAGES, THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE PHONEMIC SYSTEMS OF PROTO-ABKHAZ AND PROTO-CIRCASSIAN AND, FINALLY,
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PHONEMIC SYSTEM OF PROTO-WEST CAUCASIAN. I HAVE
CONDUCTED FIELDWORK IN TURKEY AND IN THE CAUCASUS. IN TURKEY, I ALSO COLLECTED
HITHERTO UNKNOWN LINGUISTIC AND FOLKLORIC MATERIALS AMONG THE SADZ AND
OTHER ABKHAZIANS. ... THE LEXICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ABKHAZ, CIRCASSIAN
AND UBYKH ARE QUITE SUBSTANTIAL, WHICH MAKES THE RECONSTRUCTION OF PROTO-WEST
CAUCASIAN A TRYING TASK. THE PROBLEM IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE MANY UNIQUE SOUND CORRESPONDENCES WHICH DO NOT SEEM TO FIT
INTO A PATTERN. TO FACILITATE THE COMPARISON OF ABKHAZ WITH THE OTHER TWO
LANGUAGES, I COMPILED A DICTIONARY OF PROTO-ABKHAZ ROOTS. THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE PHONEMIC SYSTEM OF PROTO-WEST CAUCASIAN ACTUALLY PRESENTS A NECESSARY
STEP TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE RECONSTRUCTION OF PROTO-NORTH CAUCASIAN. ONCE
A PROTO-NORTH CAUCASIAN IS ACHIEVED, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO CONCENTRATE
ON THE PROBLEM OF THE EXTERNAL RELATIONS OF THAT LANGUAGE. NORTH CAUCASIAN,
WHICH MAY BE RECONSTRUCTED ON THE BASIS OF THE COMPARISON OF THE PRESENT-DAY
LANGUAGES THAT DERIVE FROM IT, IS ONE OF THE ANCIENT LANGUAGES THAT WERE
SPOKEN IN EUROPE PRIOR TO ITS COLONISATION BY INDO-EUROPEANS."}
