  • Shared ancestry and language contact in Northern Samoyedic

    Open AccessOlesya Khanina, Valentin Gusev et al.ARTICLEDiachronica2026

    Using the Northern Samoyedic languages, Uralic languages spoken by nomads of Northern Siberia, we propose a new method to reconstruct histories of related languages in contact. The method consists of clustering languages by sets of shared innovations which happened after the breakup of their common proto-language. A discrepancy in how dozens of phonological and morphological innovations are distributed by sets of Northern Samoyedic languages is s…

  • The design principles of a sociolinguistic typological questionnaire for language contact research

    Open AccessEmiko Kashima, Francesca Di Garbo et al.ARTICLELanguage Dynamics and Change2025Referências: 10

    This paper presents the design rationale and pilot demonstration of the GramAdapt Social Contact questionnaire; a research tool developed for collecting global comparative sociolinguistic data on language contact scenarios. The questionnaire is qualitative with quantitative potential, inviting language community experts to provide best-assessment answers to questions about social contact in their communities of expertise. The main purpose is to c…

  • Forest and Tundra Enets

    Olesya Khanina, Andrey ShluinskyCHAPTERUralic Languages2023

    This chapter is an overview of Forest and Tundra Enets. These are two closely related highly endangered Northern Samoyedic lects spoken in the Taymyr Peninsula, Russia. In the domain of phonology, Enets is of interest with its vowel system distinguishing between mid-low and mid-high vowels (both front and back in Forest Enets, only back in Tundra Enets) and with its high degree of phonetic variation. In nominal morphology, Enets features only two…

  • Drastic demographic events triggered the Uralic spread

    Open AccessRiho Grünthal, Volker Heyd et al.ARTICLEDiachronica2022

    The widespread Uralic family offers several advantages for tracing prehistory: a firm absolute chronological anchor point in an ancient contact episode with well-dated Indo-Iranian; other points of intersection or diagnostic non-intersection with early Indo-European (the Late Proto-Indo-European-speaking Yamnaya culture of the western steppe, the Afanasievo culture of the upper Yenisei, and the Fatyanovo culture of the middle Volga); lexical and …

  • Languages and ideologies at the Lower Yenisei (Siberia)

    Open AccessOlesya KhaninaARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Aims and objectives: This paper reconstructs past multilingualism (1900–1930s) among the nomadic people of the Lower Yenisei in northern Siberia, with particular attention to the language ideologies behind it; it is validated by parallels from small-scale communities worldwide. Approach: An ethnographic approach is taken, which interprets sociolinguistic data in view of emic categorizations. Data and analysis: The reconstruction is based on: (a) …

  • A typology of small-scale multilingualism

    Open AccessBrigitte Pakendorf, Nina Dobrushina et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021Citada por: 11Referências: 24

    Aims: The paper aims at providing an exhaustive overview of studies of small-scale multilingualism, a type of language ecology typical of-but not exclusive to-indigenous communities with small numbers of speakers. We identify the similarities and differences among situations of such multilingualism, which lay the foundations for a future typology of this kind of language ecology. Approach and data: We outline the importance of language ideologies…

  • Competing ditransitive constructions in Enets

    Open AccessOlesya Khanina, Andrey ShluinskyARTICLEFunctions of Language2020

    This paper reports on a corpus study of two ditransitive constructions in Enets (Uralic, Samoyedic): the standard ditransitive construction and the so-called Destinative construction involving a specific destinative nominal morpheme. We suggest that the mutual distribution of the two competing constructions depends on referential properties of theme and information structure of the clause. The Destinative construction is used when a theme is inde…

  • Intransitive verbs in Enets

    Open AccessOlesya Khanina, Andrey ShluinskyARTICLEZeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft2019

    This paper contributes to the typology of “active-stative” split intransitivity and middle voice with a detailed case study: it proceeds from a typological comparison of the two phenomena, which are usually treated apart, to an analysis of the Enets data and a discussion of its place in the typology of possible intransitive splits. Enets (Uralic, Samoyedic) has two classes of intransitive verbs, and each class uses its own cross-reference paradig…

  • A case-study in historical sociolinguistics beyond Europe

    Olesya Khanina, Miriam MeyerhoffARTICLEJournal of Historical Sociolinguist…2018

    A collection of traditional and ‘old life’ stories recorded in the late 1940s is used to reconstruct the sociolinguistic situation of the Enets community in Northern Siberia from the 1850s until the 1930s. The Enets had regular contacts with a number of neighbouring indigenous peoples (Nganasans, Tundra Nenets, Selkups, Evenkis, Dolgans) and later with Russian newcomers. The oral histories often comment on language use, and as a result we can rec…

  • A rare type of benefactive construction

    Open AccessOlesya Khanina, Andrey ShluinskyARTICLELinguistics2014

    Together with other Northern Samoyedic languages, Enets shows a crosslinguistically unusual way of expressing benefactive semantics. The Enets benefactive construction consists of a specific “destinative” affix that marks the presence of a beneficiary in a given clause and of a possessive affix that marks the beneficiary itself. Both affixes are attached to one of the verb's arguments. This makes the beneficiary encoded as an adnominal dependent …

  • How universal is wanting

    Olesya KhaninaARTICLEStudies in Language2008

    The paper reports on a cross-linguistic survey of translational equivalents of the Standard Average European concept of wanting. It is conducted on a variety sample of 73 languages, each of which was checked for morphosyntactic and semantic properties of its regular means for expressing wanting, i.e. desideratives. Desideratives are shown to typically have other meanings in addition to ‘want’, an array of modal and mental-emotive senses. I sugges…
