Почему хантыйские имена нуждаются в определенном артикле?

Abstract for a talk on discoursive functions of the Northern Khanty possessive marker -en [POSS.2SG] and the grammatical properties of human names. This marker highly resembles a definite article. In Northern Khanty human names are grammatically nouns (are of type <e, t>), which is supporte by ethnographical data. For this reason these names necessarily bear this marker.

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

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 ...

In this paper, we present new challenging data from Kazym Khanty (a Uralic language spoken in Western Siberia, Russia): in this articleless language, bare singular and bare dual NPs in argument positions can receive indefinite readings on par with definite ones, contradicting the predictions of the classic neo-Carlsonian approach (Chierchia, 1998; Dayal, 2004). We argue ...

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 examines reflexive possessive constructions in two Tungusic languages, Bystraja Even and Uilta. Its focus is on reflexive possessive agreement, an uncommon feature that has been documented in only a handful of language families. We investigate the morphological, syntactic, and semantic characteristics of these constructions, showing how each language implements them in both similar ...

Севернохантыйский «салиентный артикль», развившийся из poss.2sg, подвержен ограничению на единственность, из-за которого он не может быть употреблён дважды в пределах одной клаузы на подлежащем и на прямом дополнении (ПД) [Муравьёв и др. 2023]. [Mikhailov 2024] анализирует данный показатель как определённый артикль, который требует, чтобы референт маркированной именной группы (ИГ) был наиболее салиентным третьим лицом в ...

A lesser-known type of noun complement clause construction in Russian is discussed, in which N + čto-clause is preceded by the distal demonstrative tot. The construction involves a non-anaphoric non-deictic use of tot, which depends on the presence of a declarative (or relative) CP. Special distributional properties of the construction are discussed, such as its ...

In many Uralic languages, possessive agreement markers form a special determiner system. Following several studies that argue for grammaticalization of Uralic possessives into determiners, the current study describes the semantics of four such determiners in the Kazym dialect of Northern Khanty, based on original field data, and sets them against the background of recent results ...

Uralic possessive agreement markers often function as determiners. This paper presents a case study of the Northern Khanty (Kazym dialect) 2sg Possessive that developed into a “salient article”. The Salient Article is definite as it requires informational uniqueness and familiarity, but its distribution is narrower than the distribution of previously described definite determiner types. It ...
