A Near-Death Experience Narrated by a Vepsian Woman
This article* focuses on the immediate near-death experience of an elderly woman living in traditional Vepsian culture. We analyse which universal, and which more culturally motivated features are present in her story narrated to us in 2018. We conclude that, despite the strong association with animistic beliefs in the informant's everyday life, the experience is dominated by elements specific to vernacular Orthodox Christianity. The article pres…

Livonian polar questions in their areal context
This paper analyses strategies for forming polar questions and their historical sources in the two main varieties of Livonian – Courland Livonian and Salaca Livonian. The results reveal that the main means for marking polar questions in both varieties are sentence-initial particles. Their usage is compared to the means found in other varieties spoken in the Central Baltic area. This micro-areal comparison offers an in-depth analysis of the main p…
Deminutiivid idapoolsete läänemeresoome rahvaste animistlikus keelekasutuses
Diminutives in the animistic language use of the eastern Finnic peoples Diminutives are significantly more used in the languages of the eastern Finnic peoples (Veps, Karelians, Ludians) than others (especially Estonians or Finns). This could be explained by the long-term influence of the Russian language, which is extremely rich in diminutives. However, there are not as many diminutives in Votian or Ingrian, which are no less influenced by Russia…
The South Estonian language islands in the context of the Central Baltic area
This article offers a comparative analysis of several morphosyntactic and phonological features in the South Estonian language islands: Leivu, Lutsi, and Kraasna. The objective is to give an overview of the distribution of selected features, their (in)stability over time, and discuss their form and use in a broader areal context. To achieve this goal, comparative information was also included from the closest cognate varieties (Estonian and the S…
