Types of loan: Matter and pattern
Abstract
A central concern of contact linguistics has long been to categorize the ways in which elements are borrowed from one language into another. For this pur-pose Matras and Sakel (2004) introduced the terms matter (MAT) and pattern(PAT) in the questionnaire on which the sample of contact situations in this book is based (cf. also subsequent publications on the issue, such as Matras and Sakel 2007). In the present chapter I will re-visit the definition of MAT and PAT, as well as address what this distinction could mean in phonology.I will furthermore give an overview of the overall distribution of MAT/PAT in the languages of the sample in order to address the validity of a MAT/PAT distinction in the categorization of contact situations.

“secondly because both allomorphs imply a combination of two kinds of borrowing: of concrete phonological matter in the case of -tu, of a functional and semantic morphological pattern in the case of -i (mat-borrowing and pat-borrowing respectively, in the terminology coined by Sakel, 2007).”

In the citing paper
“In the replicating process from M to R, to use Sakel's (2007) terms, the participle-to-participle would be: a mat-borrowing when the Late Latin past passive participle -tu was borrowed as such, as from ( 3c) to ( 3d); and a pat-borrowing when it was replicated by means of an autochthonous perfective participle, as from ( 3a) to ( 3b); the replication of the auxiliaries 'be' / 'have' would be also”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
