Why partitive? Possible motivations for the partitive complement of Finnic adpositions
Adpositions localize an entity (Figure) with respect to another entity (Ground), designated by the complement of the adposition. Most Finnic adpositions are postpositions with a genitive Ground, while prepositions typically have a partitive Ground. This work is a cognitive-linguistic study of the synchronic and diachronic semantics of partitive-Ground adpositions. It is argued that adpositions with a partitive Ground select a proximal perspective…
Hyvin edessä, ihan yläpuolella, melkein vierellä – Mitä astemääritteet kertovat akseligrammien semantiikasta
Abstrakti. Projektiiviset grammit (kieliopilliset sanat, esimerkiksi edessä, oikealla, yläpuolella) asemoivat muuttujan (Figure) kolmiulotteiseen koordinaatistoon, jonka suhteutuskohtana on kiintopiste (Ground). Grammeilla on lisäksi skalaarisia merkityksiä, joita voidaan korostaa astemääritteiden avulla. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan suomen projektiivisten grammien esiintymismahdollisuuksia astemääritteiden kanssa, jotka ilmaisevat joko avointa (me…
Layers of (un)boundedness
I present an account of the interplay between quantifiers and the partitive–accusative case alternation in Finnish object marking, with special reference to the aspectual and quantificational semantics of the clause. The case alternation expresses two oppositions (in affirmative clauses): (a) bounded (accusative) vs. unbounded (partitive) quantity, (b) culminating (accusative) vs. non-culminating (partitive) aspect. The quantifiers analyzed are o…
Why Monday is not in front of Tuesday
I analyze English and Finnish front adpositions commonly used in sequence metaphors of time ( The days ahead of Christmas are busy ). A sequence metaphor represents the order of temporal entities as their different positions on a path along which they are moving, a temporally earlier entity being ‘ahead of’ a later one, i.e. further advanced in the direction of motion. In English, the motion-related front preposition ahead of is conventional in s…

Rolandas Mikulskas. 2017. Copular constructions in Lithuanian. (Valency, Argument Realization and Grammatical Relations in Baltic, 4). Amsterdam-Philadelphia: John Benjamins. This book by Rolandas Mikulskas is an in-detail analysis of copular constructions (henceforth: CCS) in one Baltic language, Lithuanian. It is a typologically aware, cognitive-linguistic approach to a specific construction, or rather a set of interconnected constructions, wit…
The grammar of temporal motion
Recent groundbreaking work in cognitive linguistics has revealed the semantic complexity of motion metaphors of time and of temporal frames of reference. In most approaches the focus has been on the clause-level metaphorical meaning of expressions, such as Moving Ego ( We are approaching the end of the year ) and Moving Time (both Ego-centered , as in The end of the year is approaching and field-based , as in Boxing Day follows Christmas Day ). T…
Moving along paths in space and time
In cognitive linguistics, motion metaphors of time (e.g. Christmas is approaching, We left the crisis behind ) have been actively studied during the last decades. In addition to motion verbs, prepositional expressions are an important element in such metaphors. This work combines insights from Cognitive Grammar and Conceptual Metaphor Theory to account for uses of English path prepositions in motion metaphors of time. It is argued that such expre…

Partitive Cases and Related Categories
Argument-marking, morphological partitives have been the topic of language specific studies, while no cross-linguistic or typological analyses have been conducted. Since individual partitives of different languages have been studied, there exists a basis for a more cross-linguistic approach. The purpose of this book is to fill the gap and to bring together research on partitives in different languages.
Partitive cases and related categories
Many ways of moving along a path
Discontinuous constituents or independent constructions
In many formal theories of grammar, pairs of expressions such as the active and the passive are treated as variants of each other — the passive typically being a secondary construction derived from the active by operations that change the syntactic structure. Recent accounts based on Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar have questioned the validity of such an analysis, arguing that these “variants” are actually independent constructions wit…
Is perception a directional relationship? On directionality and its motivation in Finnish expressions of sensory perception
This article examines the hypothesis that sensory perception is linguistically conceptualized as a directional relationship that involves the motion of a signal between the experiencer and the stimulus. The hypothesis is tested with data from Finnish. The study focuses on expressions of visual, auditory and olfactory perception. The data consist of sentences including a perception verb and a locative element that indicates the position of either …
Fictive dynamicity, nominal aspect, and the Finnish copulative construction
The article presents a cognitive linguistic study of fictive dynamicity, nominal aspect and the case marking of the predicate adjective (PA) in Finnish copulative clauses. The term fictive dynamicity refers to the dynamic construal of a static situation, a classic example being fictive motion as illustrated by The highway goes from Tartu to Tallinn, where a static situation is referred to by a motion verb and directional locative adpositions. The…
Nominal aspect, quantity, and time
It is well known that the quantity indicated by an NP affects clausal aspect if the referent of the NP participates in the event incrementally, i.e. in a part-by-part manner (e.g. She was mowing the lawn ). In general, an incremental NP that indicates a closed quantity makes the overall aspect of the sentence telic and thus bounded, whereas one indicating an open quantity results in unbounded aspect (e.g. Water was dripping from the ceiling ). In…
An introduction to Finnish spatial relations
In their paper, Tuomas Huumo and Krista Ojutkangas first introduce the system of Finnish local cases in general and then discuss the main features of the system of adpositions. The Finnish system for expressing spatial relations consists of six local cases and many adpositions, the precise number of which cannot be determined since the borderline between adpositions and relator nouns is obscure. The local cases are divided into two series: the so…
How fictive dynamicity motivates aspect marking
This article studies fictive dynamicity as a factor motivating aspectual case marking in Finnish. In Finnish transitive sentences aspect is marked with the morphological case of the object: the restrictive object is used in sentences with a resultative meaning, whereas the partitive object is used in sentences indicating either atelicity, irresultativity, or progressivity. Interestingly, however, the restrictive object is also used in so-called q…
Incremental existence
This work is a cognitive semantic study on existential constructions in Finnish, the main argument being that existentials code an idiosyncratic, external perspective on the semantic relationships they designate. Unlike nonexistential (transitive and intransitive) sentences, existentials do not assign the status of the semantic starting point to a single participant (typically the referent of the subject), that then steers our perspective toward …
Space as time
The basic semantic function of locational elements with the syntactic status of c lause modifier is typically assumed to be the establishing of a (spatial, temporal, or other) setting, within which entities interact and processesunfold. Less attention has been paid to structures where several settingsare connected to the same predicate, and to the mutual semantic relationof the settings in these structures. In this article evidence is produced fo…
Instrumentals and implicit causal and conditional relations with special reference to Finnish
In their prototypical function, instrumentals are modifiers indicating an entity that is used by a volitional, typically animate agent in transmitting a force to a patient (e.g. Father crushed the coconut with a hammer). Such Instrumentals have a central role in the volitional relation expressed by the verb, and differ, in this sense, from many other types of modifiers that have a more peripheral role in indicating the setting of the event (so-ca…
