Scott DeLancey (born 1949) is an American linguist (University of Oregon). His work focuses on typology and historical linguistics of Tibeto-Burman languages as well as Plateau Penutian, especially the Klamath language. He is well known for having developed the concept of mirative,〔DeLancey, Scott (1997). "Mirativity: The grammatical marking of unexpected information". Linguistic Typology 1: 33–52. .〕 for promoting the study of comparative Penutian〔DeLancey, Scott; & Golla, Victor. (1997). The Penutian hypothesis: Retrospect and prospect. International Journal of American Linguistics, 63, 171–202〕 and for being a vocal proponent of the idea that a system of agreement should be reconstructed in proto-Tibeto-Burman〔DeLancey, Scott. 2010. 'Towards a history of verb agreement in Tibeto-Burman.' Himalayan Linguistics Journal 9.1. 1-39.〕 He is currently undertaking field research on several Tibeto-Burman languages of North-Eastern India. He has hypothesized that the growth of the Shang state probably led to the adoption of its language as a lingua franca among the southern Baiyue and the Sino-Tibetan speaking Zhou to the West, creating a common lexical stock. The rise of the Zhou within the Shang state in turn, is interpreted as strengthening the Sino-Tibetan component, and, when the Zhou established a dynasty, the lingua franca would have undergone creolization with a stronger Zhou Sino-Tibetan lexicon while building on a morphology that was inherited from the Shang dynasty speakers. The sum effect of the Zhou diffusion of their version of the lingua franca was, he argues, one of Tibeto-Burmanization, with a concomitant shift from a SVO morphological substrate to a language with an increasing tendency towards SOV structure.〔Scott De Lancey, ( 'The origins of Sinitic,’ ) in Zhuo Jing-Schmidt (ed.) ''Increased Empiricism: Recent advances in Chinese Linguistics,'' John Benjamins Publishing Co. 2013 pp.73-99 pp.91-2, p.91: ‘When Zhou takes over the empire, there is, as on Benedict’s model, a temporary diglossic situation, in which genuine Zhou speech is, for a while, retained in the ruling class, but among the former Shang population, Shang speech is gradually replaced not by “pure” Sino-Tibetan Zhou, but by a heavily Tibeto-Burman influenced version of the lingua franca.’〕 Linguist Paul K. Benedict also proposed that the Shang may have not been Sinitic speakers and that the Zhou invaders from the west were the bearers of proto-Sinitic languages. ==References== *DeLancey, Scott, Lon Diehl & LaRaw Maran. 1978a.
