Evolution of the non-initial vocalic length contrast across the Finnic varieties of Ingria and adjacent areas
The paper traces the evolutionary path of the non-initial vocalic length contrast in the Finnic varieties of Ingria and adjacent areas, from long vs. short vowels to short vs. no vowels. On the material from living varieties of the Ingrian, Votic, Finnish and Estonian languages, this sound change ca...
