Рассматриваются формы сравнительной степени прилагательных, которые возникли в диалектахсеверных тунгусо-маньчжурских языков. Морфологическая сравнительная степень ‒ типологически довольно редкое явление, которое отсутствует, в том числе, в большинстве языков Сибири. Однако во многих диалектах эвенкийского, эвенского и негидальского языков эти формы появились, грамматикализовавшись в континентальных диалектах из селективного показателя, а в быстринском эвенском (Камчатка) ‒ из аттенуатива. ...

The article examines the emergence of a distinctive definiteness system in Faroese, featuring two free-standing definite “adjectival” articles, tann and hin. Unlike familiar systems that distinguish “weak” and “strong” definiteness through distinct forms, the distribution of tann and hin is typically attributed to register, with hin linked to formal usage and high style. Analysis of the Faroese Gospels reveals stable and variable contexts for ...

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 ...

This paper presents a first typological study of a particular type of imperative interjections, namely interjections with the meaning ‘here, take it!’ used by a speaker when they ask the addressee to take something from the speaker's hands (often combined with a gesture of giving). The sample of languages is both geographically and genealogically restricted ...

The article examines instances of inconsistent anaphoric article usage in the Gothic language. Gothic (4th century CE, East Germanic) exemplifies a language at the initial anaphoric stage of article grammaticalization, where the proto-article pronoun should appear consistently after a referent's first mention—yet violations occur. Beyond literature-documented cases involving locative nouns and terms for ‘multitudes’ of animate ...

This study presents the first systematic comparison of anaphoric uses of demonstratives in two
East Caucasian languages, Kina Rutul (Lezgic) and Mehweb Dargwa (Dargwa). Both languages
lack dedicated third-person pronouns and employ demonstratives anaphorically in both
pronominal and adnominal positions. Data from thirteen Kina Rutul and nine Mehweb Dargwa
Pear Stories show that the default demonstrative (in terms of ...

В статье рассматривается конструкция, состоящая из императивной формы глагола и отрицательного оборота не хочу (Vimp — не хочу), и ее развитие с XIX в., когда она впервые встречается в Национальном корпусе русского языка. Для ранних реализаций конструкции характерен ограниченный набор глаголов, выступающих в императивной позиции (прежде всего ешь и пей), тем самым выражение в этот период может быть квалифицировано как ...

Many East Caucasian languages form ordinal numerals by means of a participle form of the verb ‘say’. This way of ordinal formation, which we refer to as the ‘say’ strategy, is cross-linguistically rare. In this paper we analyze the genealogical and areal distribution of the ‘say’ strategy within the family. We argue that this way ...

The article is dedicated to the morphosyntactic properties and grammatical functions of the Shughni marker -ard. Shughni, like many other Iranian languages, has a reduced case system that seems to be gradually evolving and expanding. We demonstrate that the marker -ard is one of the main candidates for the status of a new case marker ...

The paper examines two interrelated topics from Chukchi phonetics: the status of the glottal stop as a segment or prosody and the rules for stem doubling in incomplete reduplications that form the nominative singular. We create a database comprising 181 inflectional reduplications. Reduplications containing a glottal stop and therefore located “at the junction” of these ...

This study presents a typological comparison of verbal caritive constructions in Russian, English, French, Norwegian, Spanish and Khanty based on elicited data from native speakers. By caritive we understand a grammatical category denoting the absence of an expected participant, the absentee, in the situation. Caritive nominal marking combines with a verbal component to form new ...

he article discusses the event structure of morphological causative in Khwarshi Proper dialect of the Khwarshi language (Tsezic< Avar-Ando-Tsezic<Nakh-Daghestanian). We also analyzed the semantic parameters of the morphological causative on -χ-/-k’- and compared them with the semantic parameters of the analytical causative construction. Note that a construction with a morphological causative can be either monoeventive ...

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the ways speaker-oriented modality can be expressed in Khwarshi Proper (Tsezic<Avar-Ando-Tsezic<Nakh-Daghestanian). Our field data also serves to fill some data gaps in the grammatical sketch of Khwarshi Proper [Testelets, Khalilova in print]. In this article, we describe hortative, imperative, optative, preventive constructions and the jussive construction with ...
