• W2009282660 abstract "Petar Skok noticed (1920:87) that Serbo-Croatian [SC) jako 'strong' and Roumanian [Rm) tare 'strong' describe a subtle isogloss, in that both are etymologically deictics. I He was not interested in the fact that, in addition to meaning 'strong'. both can also serve as 'very'. This is one of the points that I will pursue further here. I will also try to depict the deployment of the devices used for forming the absolute superlative ('very') in the entire area indicated in my title, i.e., roughly the area occupied by Sn, Sc. Hg, Rm, Sk and Cz. My own expertise is restricted to Rm and Hg; I have therefore had to rely on lexica2 and the good offices of a number of colleagues' for information on the Slavic languages involved. Since we are dealing with a segment of the lexicon which calls for great finesse in gauging the precise meanings of competing elements ~ very few words, it turns out, are restricted to meaning only . very' ~my limited judgment in selecting the items to be included in the discussion may have biased the discussion itself. The better informed reader is therefore asked to make the necessary adjustments. In another paper (Austerlitz 1988) I have tried to plot the devices for 'very' on the map of all of Europe. One of the results is the following. There are two large areas in Europe in which the device for rendering the absolute superlative is borrowed (so to speak) from the quantifier meaning 'much, many'. as in, e.g .. Mc and Bg (1II1/0gU, 1II1/0g0), where these words are polysemous in that they discharge the function of 'much' as well as that of 'very. I will work on the assumption that 'much' is primary and 'very' secondary in the languages where this is the case. One area where these languages are deployed is along the entire Mediterranean, stretching from Turkish, Greek and Albanian westward as far as Portuguese and even Basque. (In a few instances a minor formal distinction between quantifier and superlative is~still~evident: Galician and Castilian moiro/moi and mucho/ muy 'much/very'.) The other area in which 'much' and 'very' merge formally is a second waterway, the one stretching from the Atlantic in the West to the Baltic in the East, from Icelandic to Swedish. In addition to these two waterways. which must evidently be connected with the 'much/very' isogloss. there are other geographical areas which house similar concentrations of devices which serve to convey the function of the absolute superlative. One of these. in particular. will occupy us in what follows. For a carefully reasoned discussion of Europe as a linguistic area, see Decsy 1973." @default.
