Symmetrical V2 with the verb "to vomit"… I love my job! Also: I want to belief that Weinreich tried to imitate the the absurdity of the Wenker-sentences #lcaaj pic.twitter.com/W1KRk1SUdx

There is more to this; but especially on the form side there is a large syncretism of the personal pronouns for the 1st PL in the western dialects of EY, where case marking is no longer possible. #lcaaj pic.twitter.com/3w8jLUMZtp

I am still surprised to see that the former pronoun of the dual ENK was not used at all in Southeast Yiddish. (so no influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this case?) #lcaaj pic.twitter.com/N2mMJz8dFW

The shift from weak to strong flexion is a frequency-based principle of grammaticalization (according to Nübling 2000) - seems like the modal verb 'darfn' - 'gedarft' has undergone such a development in Central East Yiddish.#lcaaj #irregularization pic.twitter.com/SaDtFW0lmI

With the use of the inflected reflexive pronoun "ikh frey mikh/mir/zikh" we once again see the strong influence of the northern dialects on the standard yiddish and a clear east-west divide. #lcaaj pic.twitter.com/m7YHmCxVjm

Relative particles can grammaticalize as subordination marker, like da (‘there’) in some German dialects (cf. Weiß 2013: 782). It seems that this also happened with Yiddish "vos". #LCAAJ pic.twitter.com/5WHK6SvBNI

The last map on case after the preposition was with "oyf der/di bank", with a gender shift in NEY. Now with "aroys fun di/der milkh" we get the full picture of the situation with feminine singular. And the ACC is clearly crossing the borders to NEY #laaj #seyd #funwithmaps pic.twitter.com/J3nafVUgzo

And another thing: The 1.Pers. PL of "zayn" in "mir zayn gezesn" differs geographically in its phonological forms but I am pondering if the endings -nen, -nin and -mir could be something like complementizers? Has anyone worked on this yet? #lcaaj pic.twitter.com/UjmzUjcA7I

While everyone else enjoys #SLE18Tallinn, I decided wisely not leaving the house for today. Now that I had time collecting full datasets one finding is a first morpho-syntactical structure that separates the EY dialects: case (and gender) after preposition #lcaaj pic.twitter.com/hvSWCkZxQx

Standard Yiddish always requires the dative in prepositional phrases. We already knew that variation exists in WY, where the ACC is common in the eastern part (cf.https://t.co/hIUMlUI0ey ). We thus find in the LCAAJ a phenomenon of a continuous transition between EY and WY.#LCAAJ pic.twitter.com/EExcE0v5J4

We already knew that anaptyxis before χ is „not that common“ in NEY (Bin-Nun 1973: 238). But with the LCAAJ we can prove it with a large sample and some maps 🗺️ #seyd pic.twitter.com/caJ4XtoLdY

The analytic comparative is widely common. It is not the preferred option in the North Eastern dialects. Developing an analytic comparative is a common innovation of European languages. I assume the structure itself isn't borrowed but certainly driven by the contact with Slavic. pic.twitter.com/3RXKTSgF6f

Data of the day comes from Samokhvalovichi near Minsk: "velxe dust holt hobn besser" Could this really be a proof that there is doubly filled COMP possible in Yiddish?! Also: what a beautiful wordorder?! https://t.co/H4CfJXFPUv

Thanks to @szpifczyk’s data from the 1931 census of the Second Polish Republic there is now more appropriate data on the coterritorial languages given in this region than we've got from the LCAAJ-informants. That gives us an empirical base for contact linguistic research. pic.twitter.com/4H2KtdsEkA

𝘷𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳-𝘦/𝘷𝘰𝘴𝘧𝘢𝘳-𝘢: comparing the questions 021-010 (what white teeth he has) and 120-023 (tell me which egg you like better) shows little evidence for an areal where the indefinite article is still transparent and only used with singular. pic.twitter.com/ZbDPEwLQqj
— seyd (@seydproject) December 12, 2017
Again for articles: In klal-Yiddish the indefinite article in vosere (<"vos–far–a") isn't transparent so it can be used with plurals. But in a trail next to the south eastern dialect area forms with remnants of an article are avoided. Next: Do they use "vosere" with singular? pic.twitter.com/fcfeyIE9xP

Map of the month: "dis fert gejt in (di) felt akern" – The lack of the definite article in (mostly east-)Eastern Yiddish dialects may be a Slavic influence (cf. Matthew S. Dryer. 2013: https://t.co/U9vdvVfvvR ) or it is due to a decrease of case marking or phonological reduced. pic.twitter.com/TJaRPEno3z
