Language Contacts and Discourses in the Far North
This open access book sheds light on 21st century multilingual practices and discourses in the Far North of Europe
Case
All Uralic languages have cases, but the size of case inventories varies greatly. In some languages, the so-called grammatical cases are used to express not only grammatical roles such as Agent, Patient, or Recipient, but also definiteness or boundedness, the Finnic partitive vs accusative variation being one of the best-known examples. Semantic cases, in turn, are commonly known for multiple tripartite (‘from’—‘at’—‘to’) local case systems in Fi…
The so-called relation forms of nouns in South Saami
The paper describes a previously little-known grammatical category in South Saami. Termed here as “relation forms”, the phenomenon in question is etymologically related to the comparative and superlative marking of adjectives, but synchronically quite distinct from it. The suffix -be/-åbpoe can be attached to not only adjectives (e.g., nuerebe ‘younger’, båarasåbpoe ‘older’), but also to nouns and kinship terms in particular (e.g., tjidtjebe ‘(th…
Chapter 10. Similarity, equality and the like in North Saami
The paper discusses various linguistic expressions of similarity, equality and related meanings in North Saami, the major language of the westernmost branch of the Uralic language family. In addition to function-based synchronic description of similatives, equatives and functives (role phrases), the paper also discusses certain on-going language changes due to both external influences and language-internal development. Special attention is given …
The origins of the western Uralic s-cases revisited
The paper presents a comprehensive reappraisal of the origins of the so-called s-cases in Saami, Finnic, Mordvin and Mari. According to the received view, the element *-s- that is present in most of the basic local case markers in these languages originates in the so-called *s-lative whose origin has remained unknown. As the dominant theory suffers from various methodological shortcomings, alternative proposals have also been presented yet largel…
Case, Animacy and Semantic Roles
The chapters of this volume scrutinize the interplay of different combinations of case, animacy and semantic roles, thus contributing to our understanding of these notions in a novel way. The focus of the chapters lies on showing how animacy affects argument marking. Unlike previous studies, these chapters primarily deal with lesser studied phenomena, such as animacy effects on spatial cases and the differences between cases and adpositions in th…
A survey of the origins of directional case suffixes in European Uralic
This paper surveys the origins of the total of twenty-seven directional case markers in the European branches of the Uralic language family. In an attempt to resolve a number of mismatches between the traditional tenets of historical Uralistics and the contemporary typological knowledge of the development of cases, the study also addresses the relevance of diachronic perspectives in mapping the synchronic interrelations of the various semantic ro…
Remarks on the coding of Goal, Recipient and Vicinal Goal in European Uralic
This paper discusses the coding of three roles, Goal, Recipient and Vicinal Goal (‘to the vicinity of’) in European Uralic languages. The paper shows that Uralic languages typically use cases for Recipients and Goals, while Vicinal Goals bear adpositional coding except for a few languages with extraordinarily rich case inventories. The explanation given for this is that Goals and Recipients are expected roles, borne by inanimate and animate endpo…
