| Popis | The purpose of this paper was to present concept of linguo-religious complexes which is important for the research of highly developed Sprachbunds. Mobility is the most decisive factor of convergent and divergent processes influencing variation. There are various forms of mobility related to environmental conditions together with ways of economic subsistence. Besides irregular migration, the most basic regular patterns are related to mobile pastoralism in the steppe or arid Inner Asia and agricultural mobility in shifted cultivation among highland tribes in Southeast Asia. Another obvious social pattern is connected to the size of usually lowland population, which is itself an attraction force concentrating migration, working opportunities and developmental investment. Less obvious are sociopolitical patterns of tributary relations among geographical or hierarchical sub-units of societies. Traditional tributary relations can both stimulate or inhibit exchange and have direct influence on the processes of variation. The paper commented particular cases and implications for the research of multinational and multilingual areas. |
