A note on the morphology of the Vilamovicean verb principal parts

Authors



Abstract

This paper offers an exhaustive description of the principal parts (Infinitive, Preterite Present and Plural, and Past Participle) of all irregular verbs found in Vilamovicean, a severely endangered Germanic vernacular spoken in Poland. Based upon extensive original field research, the authors offer a complete list of the irregular verbs, dividing them into three main classes: strong verbs (that also include reduplicated and athematic verbs), preterite-present (where the forms of the Present singular and plural are presented) and weak verbs with Rückumlaut.

Keywords: Vilamovicean, German vernacular, endangered languages, Poland, morphology, principal parts, irregular verbs
