| The article investigates the systemic influence of phonetic changes on the evolution of the lexico-grammatical sys
tem of the French language in a diachronic perspective. The main focus is on the theoretical aspects of the interaction
between phonetic and lexico-grammatical processes, examined through the lens of key linguistic concepts. The study
analyzes the mechanisms of linguistic compensation, transformation of grammatical structures, and the formation of
stable lexical zones under the influence of phonetic shifts. The research is based on the principles of historical linguis
tics, including the neogrammarian approach and the theory of functional load, which helps to reveal the systemic nature
of language changes. Special attention is paid to the dialectic between innovations and the preservation of archaic ele
ments in the language system. The results confirm the concept of the cascade nature of language evolution, where pho
netic transformations act as the primary link in the chain of structural changes. The theoretical significance of the study
lies in the development of a comprehensive model for analyzing the mutual influence of different levels of the language
system, which opens new perspectives for studying similar processes in other Romance languages. |
