Uncovering a consonant chain shift in Gujarati
Abstract
Chain shifts are not new to linguistics – the concept goes all the way back to the founding of the discipline in the west, soon after William Jones’ famous address of 1786 espousing the relations between Indian and Western languages. This squib examines a consonantal chain shift in the Indo-Aryan language, Gujarati, that has been missed in descriptions of that language.
