Between language genealogy and language contact: Hybrid or hereditary / loanword pairs of German and Persian Part II

In the tradition of historical-comparative language or linguistics research,either the common word pairs of any language pair, which are counted asdescendants of a hypothetical original language are examined, for exampleIndo-European (hereditary word pairs) due to a genetic relationship, or akind of secondary relationship due to indirect/direct proven geographicalcontact (foreign or loanword pairs). Of course, this is quite apart from thecoincidental coherences, which are usually only sought in the formal area,which is the case, for example, with the false friends or certainonomatopoeia and interjections. Furthermore, there ist one seldomresearched incident, which can be placed between the common hereditaryand loanwords of a language pair in etymological research. When it comesto a single intralingual hybrid word, which consists of inherited andborrowed or different (other language) elements at the same time, onespeaks of “hybrid formations” (Kluge ۲۰۱۱: XXIf.). But if we take up thistopic from a language-pair-related perspective, we are dealing withinterlingual hybrid word pairs, which on the one hand can be hybrid inevery single language involved in the language comparison process and onthe other hand in comparison to one another, i.e., not even interlinguallypure or show an equally bilateral or multi-sided orientation. In view of thefact that the interlingual hybrid word pairs as a linguistic topic have so farbeen occasionally neglected in the absolute majority of the relevant studiesand almost within all (any) language pairs, the present research has dealtwith this topic using the example of the genealogically related German andPersian languages that came into contact with each other at times.
