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.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
