<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''cognate''' is a form in a language which corresponds to a form in another language (or a different variety of the same language, or even to a different form within the same language/variety) due to a historical/genealogical relationship between the two forms. <br />
<br />
Two cognate forms can be traced back to one common [[proto-form]]. In most cases the two forms will have undergone sound and/or meaning changes and will therefore no longer be identical in their phonetic form and/or meaning.<br />
<br />
===Comments===<br />
By comparing a set of cognates in two related languages [[regular sound correspondences]] can be established with the [[comparative method]]. In this way [[sound change]]s like the ones described by [[Grimm's Law]] can be recognized.<br />
<br />
Historical continuity between the forms compared is a necessary condition to be considered cognate. Yet, several factors lead to lack in continuity. Fox (1995: 62f.) lists replacement of words and remodeling via [[analogy]] as the main factors for this. He further notes that replacement of a word by a [[loan]] from a related language or dialect as well as similarity of forms due to "universal processes of invention" (such as [[onomatopoeia]]) can often lead to a wrong assumption of continuity and/or relatedness.<br />
