Kur tev sāp? – Where does it hurt? Location and impersonal predicates referring to body parts in Finnish and Latvian
This article describes the non-canonical syntactic constructions of NPs and third person singular verb forms that express physical sensations, typically pain, in a certain body part. The starting point is Finnish, where impersonal constructions with NPs in the partitive or local cases form the centre of this semantic field. The test sentences, stemming from typological research material, are compared to their equivalents in Latvian. The results s…
Partitives and genitives in negated sentences in Finnish, Latvian and Lithuanian
In Baltic and Finnic languages, the subject and object cases show a similar variation, with nominative or partitive genitive subjects and accusative or partitive genitive objects. The similarities are stronger between Finnic (here represented by Finnish) and Lithuanian, whereas in Latvian the use of the partitive genitive is decreasing. This applies both to affirmative and negated sentences. In this paper, the attention is concentrated upon the L…
Russian influence on the Ižma Komi dialect
The article deals with the results of the language contacts between Russian and Komi (Komi-Zyrian), especially one of its dialects, that of Ižma, in the north-eastern corner of European Russia. The long-term contacts are discussed in a socio-historical context, which explains how the present minority status of Komi has occurred. The structural, lexical, and pragmatic unilateral convergence of Komi with Russian is explored. A case study with mater…
The Influence of Russian on Sentential Subordination in Komi Zyryan
A Close Look at Natural Serialization
The article gives an overview of a universalistic hypothesis concerning world order change. Though noting the probabilistic nature of tendencies, it presents for comparison facts from the history of a specific language, Russian. It is a matter of opinion how such facts are weighted when they seem to be rathr against than for the hypothesis. However, what hopefully emerges clearly enough is that linearity and variation in syntax are guided by into…
