Primes

• Convergent Evolution
  • In linguistics, languages with no contact independently develop similar features under similar pressures — tonal systems, grammaticalization pathways, sound shifts — convergent solutions to the shared problem of efficient, learnable communication.

    This sourceDocuments recurrent grammaticalization source-target pathways shared independently across genetically unrelated languages — parallel development under shared communicative pressure.

• Emergent Formalization (Language)
  • The tension remains live in the field.

    This sourceA-Z typological lexicon documenting the cross-linguistic source-to-target grammaticalization pathways — supports the 'cross-linguistically supported pathways' claim.
