Vowel breaking
In historical linguistics, vowel breaking, vowel fracture, or diphthongization is the sound change of a monophthong into a diphthong or triphthong. Vowel breaking may be unconditioned or conditioned. It may be triggered by the presence of another sound, by stress, or in no particular way. Vowel breaking is sometimes defined as a subtype of diphthongization, when it refers to harmonic (assimilatory) process that involves diphthongization triggered by a following vowel or consonant.
Calque (linguistique)
Dans la pratique de la traduction, le terme calque se réfère à la traduction littérale (mot à mot), dont le résultat n’est pas toujours correct selon les normes de la variété standard de la langue cible. En revanche, en linguistique comparée, en linguistique historique et en lexicologie, le calque linguistique est un procédé mixte (interne et externe) d’enrichissement d’une langue, surtout dans le domaine du lexique et de la phraséologie, mais aussi, dans une moindre mesure, dans le domaine de la structure grammaticale.
Conservative and innovative (linguistics)
In linguistics, a conservative form, variety, or feature of a language is one that has changed relatively little across the language's history, or which is relatively resistant to change. It is the opposite of innovative, innovating, or advanced forms, varieties, or features, which have undergone relatively larger or more recent changes. Furthermore, an archaic form is not only chronologically old (and often conservative) but also rarely used anymore in the modern language, and an obsolete form has fallen out of use altogether.
