Abstract

In this article, I aim to identify the mechanisms that potentially cause specific language change with reference to the studies of historical linguistics and typological linguistics. In my research, the coordinating-conjunctional use of the focus/additive particle, auch, observed in an endangered minority language in Romania, Transylvanian Saxon is dealt with as research object to demonstrate my hypothesis that certain changes of languages in contact are caused by activation or deactivation of potentials that the form possesses, which could be compared to heredity of species.
