The Carpathian convergence area encompasses southwest Ukrainian, Polish, Slovak, Moravian, Hungarian, some Romanian, and Romani dialects, which have been in the focus of Carpathian linguistics since the 1960s. This discipline has been primarily concerned with lexical Carpathian and Carpathian-Balkan convergences, including ethnolinguistic and even folklore isoglosses. Today, in addition to a limited number of phonological and derivational features, major structural convergences found in the Carpathian region and the Balkans exhibit primary and secondary morphosyntactic features. All these features are explained from a threefold – areal, genealogical, and typological (systemic) – perspective, the latter accounting for societal factors such as the size of speech community, the denseness of social networks, the amount of shared background information, and the degree of social stability as the driving forces of convergent changes.
