The 18 pages that link to Analogy (linguistics), each with the reason it gives.

• Historical linguisticsRelated: Analogy can obscure older patterns or spread new ones across a paradigm.

• Sound changeCompared with: Analogy can reshape pronunciation or word forms without following a regular sound law.

• GrammaticalizationCompared with: Analogy can spread grammatical patterns without the lexical-to-grammatical pathway central here.

• Language changeRelated: Analogy spreads familiar patterns and can alter forms that sound change did not affect.

• Comparative linguisticsRelated: Analogy can disrupt sound patterns that would otherwise preserve historical evidence.

• Franz BoppCompared with: Bopp’s historical explanations sometimes underplayed how analogical change reshapes grammatical paradigms.

• NeogrammariansRelated: It explains apparent exceptions without abandoning regular sound change.

• Usage-based linguisticsRelated: Analogy lets speakers extend patterns they have learned from particular expressions.

• Verner's lawRelated: Analogy later leveled some consonant alternations that Verner's law had created.

• Evolution of languagesRelated: Analogy can regularize forms and counteract irregularities created by sound change.

• Indo-European sound lawsCompared with: Analogy can obscure the original outcomes predicted by sound laws.

• Linguistic reconstructionRelated: Analogy can obscure inherited forms and complicate a reconstruction based on regular sound change.

• Sound correspondenceCompared with: Analogy can obscure inherited sound patterns by altering forms after regular sound change.

• Neogrammarian hypothesisRelated: Analogical remodeling can create apparent exceptions to regular sound laws.

• Phonological changeCompared with: Analogy can imitate or undo sound-change effects, though it is not itself sound change.

• Language divergenceRelated: Different analogical patterns can remodel inherited words and inflections in separate communities.

• Spelling pronunciationRelated: Readers may pronounce an irregular-looking word to match a familiar spelling pattern.

• History of EnglishRelated: Analogy helped regularize some English forms as older inflections weakened.
