Talk:Grassmann's Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The linguist Ivan Sag has pointed out an advantage of the ancient Indian theory, namely that it explains why there are no patterns like hypothetical "[trik-s] ~ [trikĘ°-es]". The underlying-diaspirate theory incorrectly predicts that these should occur."
I rejiggered the section on the discussion of diaspirates to reflect the current consensus among current historical linguists, where ATB is commonly regarded as a generativist kludge. (It's worth noting that the only defence of ATB cited is from a paper more than 20 years old) I do not have any citations at hand, but I will endeavor to run some down.
