Recent Contact-Induced Morphosyntactic Changes in the Lower Kolyma Region
The paper deals with recent contact-induced changes in the grammar of two languages of the Lower Kolyma tundra, Tundra Yukaghir ( TY ) and Lower Kolyma Even ( LKE ). The morphosyntax of these languages has undergone a rather strong influence from Sakha in the course of the 20th century. The investigation focusses on the structural copying of Sakha patterns into TY and LKE , which resulted in the emergence of several new categories, in particular,…
Language Contact in North-Eastern Siberia
This special issue brings together selected contributions presented at the workshop on Language and Culture Contact in North-Eastern Siberia which took place in Münster in October 2022.1 Its aim is to showcase and explore different types of linguistic contacts among the indigenous groups and their structural and cultural consequences in the north-eastern part of Siberia.As noticed by Pakendorf (2010: 715), in view of the harsh climate and the ext…
Even Kinship Terminology, Society and Language Contact
The paper analyses on the basis of new fielddata the transformations of kinship terminologies in three Even dialects which have come about through cultural and linguistic contacts. We investigate two possible sources of change. First, the adaptation of kinship terminology to the ways of subsistence, such that, e.g., hunting and gathering cultures preferably use one, while herding cultures prefer other types of kinship systems, with the corollary …

Realis mood, focus, and existential closure in Tundra Yukaghir
Non-canonical SAY in Siberia
The use of generic verbs of speech in functions not related to their primary meaning, such as to introduce complements or adjuncts, is cross-linguistically widespread; it is also characteristic of some languages of Siberia. However, the distribution of non-canonical functions of generic verbs of speech among the languages of Siberia is very uneven, with striking differences even between dialects of one language. In this paper we attempt to elucid…
The meanings of focus
Focus is regularly treated as a cross-linguistically stable category that is merely manifested by different structural means in different languages, such that a common focus feature may be realised through, for example, a morpheme in one language and syntactic movement in another. We demonstrate this conception of focus to be unsustainable on both theoretical and empirical grounds, invoking fundamental argumentation regarding the notions of focus…
Topic, focus, and discourse structure
It is commonly assumed that word order in free word order languages is determined by a simple topic – focus dichotomy. Analysis of data from Ancient Greek, a language with an extreme word order flexibility, reveals that matters are more complex: the parameters of discourse structure and semantics interact with information packaging and are thus indirectly also responsible for word order variation. Furthermore, Ancient Greek displays a number of s…
