Palatalizacje słowiańskie i koncepcja ich praałtajskiego pochodzenia
Abstract
SLAVIC PALATALIZATION AND THE IDEA OF ITS PROTO-ALTAIC ORIGIN Roman Jakobson was the first to suggest that the palatalization process in Slavic was a result of Altaic influence. He did not define the term “Altaic” or the place and time of the alleged Altaic-Slavic contact. Nevertheless, his idea, although primarily politically motivated, was accepted by some linguists and remains accepted even today. This author has already challenged it in English (Stachowski 2020, 2024), and now does so again in Polish.
