  • The senses of illative and lative case in the Mordvin languages

    Open AccessRiku ErkkiläARTICLEEesti ja soome-ugri keeleteaduse…2022

    In this paper, I study the difference between the two goal-cases of the Mordvin languages, namely, the illative and the lative. A spatial case system with two productive goal-cases but only one case for each of the other spatial relations (i.e., location, source, and path) is a rare phenomenon in languages. To explain thissituation, I study the semantics of the cases. I analyze the senses of the two cases, i.e., I study what meanings are expresse…

  • Cases Denoting Path in Komi

    Open AccessNiko Partanen, Riku ErkkiläARTICLELinguistica Uralica2022

    This article examines the functions and use of Komi-Zyrian prolative cases. The theoretical background is rooted in cognitive linguistics, and the use of these cases in written Komi is studied with the methods of corpus linguistics. Our analysis shows that the two prolative cases have different distributions and functions, but there are also dialectal and grammatical factors that condition their use. Furthermore, we show that there are parallels …

  • How to distinguish between semantically close cases

    Riku ErkkiläARTICLEVoprosy Jazykoznanija2022

    In this paper I discuss the distribution of GOAL-cases in Erzya and Moksha (Mordvin, Uralic). Both languages have two productive GOAL-cases, namely illative and lative, but only one productive case for every other spatial relation (LOCATION, SOURCE, PATH). Furthermore, the two GOAL-cases do not seem to exhibit any clear division of labor (e.g., marking inner and outer GOALS). Previous studies have proposed diff erent solutions, but they do not co…
