Bartholomae’s law revisited and remodelled

29.07.2025 Adam Mickiewicz University
The present paper deals with Bartholomae’s Law in Indo-Iranian languages.

After a new examination of the data, it concludes that in the case of Bartholomae’s Law, there is no assumed ʽtransfer of aspiration ʼ or any other similar process but that the attested plosives are the result of a process of plosivization of the original Indo-Iranian voiced fricatives Δ (< IE *Dh).

Thus, the process described by Bartholomae is not an exception in developing of plosive clusters but a regular process affecting the original fricatives, plosives in the outcome clusters being of secondary origin.

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.

AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
