К вопросу о частеречной принадлежности и именовании нефинитных форм в лесном ненецком языке
The article examines the problem of part-speech classification and the terminological description of non-finite forms in Forest Nenets, drawing on new data from the Pur dialect. The study analyzes the system of Forest Nenets non-finite forms, which includes action nouns, participles, the gerund, the conditional form, and the supine. The analysis is carried out within a two-dimensional framework that considers non-finite forms both in terms of their syntactic functions and through the prism of their part-of-speech properties. The research provides a detailed description of the syntactic distribution of each form and characterizes their morphological properties. The findings reveal the complexity and diversity of usage in Forest Nenets non-finite forms. The study demonstrates that only the behavior of the action nominals fully corresponds to the syntax of a particular part of speech, although this behavior is more complex than that of nouns in the strict sense, since Forest Nenets nouns are regularly employed in attributive contexts. Based on syntactic functions, it is possible to classify the Forest Nenets supine, whereas the remaining non-finite forms display complex morphosyntactic behavior and features of mixed part-speech affiliation. The paper also analyzes the established terminology used to designate Forest Nenets forms in light of their internal properties and identifies the rationale underlying this system. Nonetheless, it concludes that moving toward a contrastive or typological description of grammar requires a revision of the classification of non-finite forms.
