Topic: Paragoge


In the News (Fri 27 Nov 09)

The historical development of paragoge in Sranan For the early grammarians of Sranan as well as for the modern observer, paragoge is a pervasive feature of the language.
Paragoge reconstructed: Smith (1977) As already mentioned in the introduction, Smith (1977) reconstructs the paragogic system of Proto-Sranan through a comparative analysis of the modern varieties of Sranan, Saramaccan, Ndjuka and Boni, all of which are closely-related creole languages spoken in Surinam.
The quality of the paragogic vowel in loanwords is variable, but it seems that paragogic /i/ is preferred (22a), with labial attraction (22b) and vowel rounding harmony (22c) as additional processes.

donatus and metaplasm and ecphoneme and syncope and apocope and prosparalepsis and paragoge
Donatus tells us that paragoge can also be called prosparalepsis (but this might tend to some early confusion because we have already seen that paralepsis is a rhetorical device also known as praeteritio or "passing over" something by mentioning it briefly, and proslepsis is doing this in a very obvious fashion).
So, let's stick to paragoge as the addition of something at the end, such as an extra "us,"--we might call someone a "jerkus," for example.

Epenthesis is an addition in the middle of a word of a letter or a syllable, as relliquias for reliquias, induperator for imperator.
Paragoge is the addition to the end of a word of a letter or a syllable, as magis for mage, and potestur for potest.
Apocope is removal from the end of a word, the opposite of paragoge, as Achilli for Achillis and pote for potest.

 Britain.tv Wikipedia - Elision
They are categorised into classes based on the phoneme where elision occurs.
The consonant in the partitive case ending -ta elides when surrounded by two short vowels, except when the first vowel is paragoge.
For example, katto+ta → kattoa, ranta+ta → rantaa, but työ+tä → työtä (not a short vowel), mies+ta → miestä (consonant stem), jousi+ta → jousta (paragogic i on a consonant stem).

The different lochi wheeled round through a quadrant of a circle, round their leader, as on a pivot, so that the army-presented twenty-four columns to the enemy, con­sisting of two files each, and separated by a con­siderable interval from each other.
The depth of the whole body was then lessened, and these in­tervals filled up by the ordinary paragoge, and by the different lochi siding up nearer to each other in case the intervals still remained too great.
If it was necessary for the general to take his station on the right, this would be effected, as in other cases, by an e'^eA^jteo's.

On some occasions, Horus was referred to as lord of the djeba (i.e.
lord of the perch or lord of the finger), a form in which he was especially worshipped at Buto, known as Djebauti, meaning (ones) of the djeba (the reason for the plural is not understood, and may just have been a result of Epenthesis, or Paragoge).
The form of Djebauti eventually became depicted as an heron, nethertheless continuing to rest on the sacred perch.

Most, however, read like "Saturday Night Live" skits: humorous ideas that quickly turn tedious in the follow through, such as one written entirely in passive voice.
Others with headings such as "Antiphrasis," "Paragoge" and "Litotes" are sure to send you running for a dictionary of literary terms, and you may never want to look at Queneau's book again.
Now, the graphic novelist Matt Madden along comes (literally: he appeared Jan. 26 at The College of Saint Rose's new reading series, Frequency North).
