Primes

• Branching and Merging
  • Historical linguistics: Languages branch into daughter languages as populations separate, then borrow vocabulary, grammar, and phonology back through contact, producing the partial reconvergence captured by wave models and contact-induced change that complicate the strict family tree.

Domain-specific

• Language Contact
  • Thomason and Kaufman's historical framework distinguishes borrowing under maintenance from interference through shift and emphasizes that intensity, bilingualism, attitudes, dominance, and typological fit jointly shape outcomes.
