The architecture of reduced relative clauses: evidence from reflexives
P. 189–198.
Volkova A. A.
The syntactic structure of participial relative clauses is often percieved as impoverished, “reduced” in comparison to that of regular RCs (see a. o. Burzio 1981; Hazout 2001; Siloni 1995; Stowell 1981). Participial RCs are often analysed as VP-like structures and typically (i) don’t license CP-material; (ii) don’t have an independent temporal reference; and (iii) don’t have subjects. I discuss the data of Meadow Mari (Uralic) and argue against claims (ii) and (iii) above by showing that Meadow Mari pRCs can have independent temporal reference and subjects.

This article examines two functions of the suffix -samae in the Pur dialect of Forest Nenets based on fieldwork data: comitative (expression of jointness: ‘with X’) and scalar additive (focus particle with the meaning ‘even X’). The comitative use of the suffix -samae primarily marks an inanimate companion. However, its use is also possible with other types ...

The study focuses on a previously unrecorded model of split agreement in the mirative paradigm in Kazym Khanty. Split agreement is found when comparing active and passive mirative constructions, as well as
in a limited set of uses of non-finite forms. In the passive voice, unlike the active voice, the 3rd person is unmarked and the ...

Fake indexicals (FIs), or bound-variable uses of e.g. 1st - and 2 nd -person pronouns, have been analysed by Bassi (2021) as arising from a post-syntactic process of inspecting the features of the referent. This leads to a peculiar analysis of the syntax and semantics of relative clauses containing FIs. I argue for a more ...

This study investigates the morphosyntactic coding of core arguments in Northern Khanty, with a
focus on the use of active/passive voice and subjective/objective conjugation. The goal is to offer a
more detailed understanding of the coding patterns across dialects. To achieve this, I analyze corpus
data from four Northern Khanty dialects: Obdorsk, Shuryshkary, Tegi, and Kazym Khanty, using ...

The study examines contexts in Northern Khanty where the presence of internal possessors in the noun phrases of the core arguments influences their morphosyntactic coding. Based on the corpus data from the Kazym dialect of Khanty, I investigate contexts in which the presence of a third-person topical possessor in the agent or patient NP leads ...

This paper aims to demonstrate that the Old East Slavic pronoun iže, traditionally considered a loanword from Old Church Slavonic and a marker of literacy, was in fact also widely used in secular texts of the earliest period and that its usage there differed considerably from that found in Old East Slavic church-oriented literature. The ...

This paper studies the morphosyntactic properties of bound proprietive and privative markers in some Uralic languages using corpus data and grammatical descriptions. Such affixes are predominantly attached to substantive bases and form derivatives with the meaning of ‘possessing X’ and ‘deprived of X’, respectively.
The first part of the study is devoted to the comparison of ...

This paper investigates non-finite forms in Kazym Khanty (Ob-Ugric, Uralic). In Khanty, almost all subordination makes use of one of the two non-finite forms: -ti (nfin.npst) or -əm (nfin.pst). We propose that their uses are best treated under the headings ‘bare non-finites, ‘head-agreement non-finites’, and ‘verb-agreement non-finites’. The three classes are defined based on the subject agreement pattern ...
