Abstract:
The existence of stable redundant structures in linguistic morphology are a challenge to an evolutionary, i.e. adaptive, view of language change. Redundant morphological structures are defined as involving two or more co-occurring morphological formatives which provide information such that the interference of one or more of these formatives does not result in information loss for the hearer. One possible solution comes from modelling of genetic redundancy. Nowak (1997) shows how two co-occurring genes of the same function and with differing efficacy of encoding that function can be maintained indefinitely if the rate of which the gene with the lower efficacy will change to its different functioning allele is higher than that of the more efficacious gene. In this paper, I examine the inflectional morphology of verbs in two language families known for their redundant morphology, Yam (southern New Guinea) and Kartvelian (Georgia) (Carroll, 2020; Evans et. al., 2016; Harris, 1981). I equate efficacy with the ...
