A standard belief through centuries of linguistic research has been that phonological change is commonplace and pervasive.Syntax has been claimed by some to be inert, changing only as a consequence of phonological or semantic change. This project takes an unusual and challenging view: Phonology is pertinacious, suggesting that phonological change has severe restrictions. The principle of Pertinacity (two types) states:Pertinacity A: The output forms may look different from the donor language, but the native underlying pattern persists.Pertinacity B: The output forms may look similar, but the underlying phonological grammar would have changed.DISTINCTIVENESS of the proposal: As in the PI's earlier work, setting it apart from more narrowly departmentalised specialist approaches, classical theoretical and historical research will be combined with psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic experimentation, and computational modelling to shed light on central issues of linguistic change and stability, diversity and uniformity.To examine the principle of Pertinacity, we will investigate similar phonological processes, both internal (regular phonological rules and constraints) and external (loans via language contact), across three language families (West & North Germanic and Indo-Aryan).

几个世纪以来的语言学研究一直认为，语音变化是普遍存在的。有些人认为，语音变化是惰性的，只会随着语音或语义的变化而变化。这个项目采取了一个不寻常的和具有挑战性的观点：语音是顽固的，这表明语音变化有严格的限制。相关性原则（两种类型）状态：相关性A：输出形式可能看起来与供体语言不同，但本地底层模式仍然存在。相关性B：输出形式可能看起来相似，但底层语音语法可能会发生变化。提案的区别：正如PI早期的工作一样，将其与更狭隘的部门化专家方法区分开来，经典的理论和历史研究将结合心理语言学和神经语言学实验，以及计算模型来阐明语言的变化和稳定性，多样性和一致性的核心问题。为了检验相关性原则，我们将研究类似的语音过程，内部（规则的语音规则和约束）和外部（通过语言接触的贷款），跨越三个语系（西日耳曼语和北日耳曼语和印度-雅利安语）。
