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 ...

Equasimilative constructions belong to the semantic field of comparison,
but have been studied to a much less extent than comparative constructions.
There are practically no areal-typological studies in this area. This paper focuses on equasimilative constructions in Khwarshi proper (Nakh-Dagestanian).
Additionally, it provides an overview of equasimilative constructions
in the languages of the Caucasus to determine the parameters that ...

One of the common features of the Nakh-Daghestanian languages is the evidential opposition
between some of the past tense verb forms, which mark (in)direct access to the information. Khwarshi has two synthetic past forms that are traditionally considered to form this kind of opposition, but,
according to our data, it may in fact not be based on ...

The article is dedicated to the typology of temporal mobility, that is the ability of verbal forms to have temporal opposition. Based on several Andic languages (< Avar-Andic-Tsezic < Nakh-Dagestanian), two formal subtypes of temporal mobility are introduced. The first subtype, — symmetric mobility, assumes that the basic and the past forms are equally marked, ...

The paper presents an overview of numeral systems in Lezgic languages (East Caucasian) and discusses hypotheses about their diachronic development. Similarly to other branches of the East Caucasian family, languages of the Lezgic branch have either a decimal (base-10) or a vigesimal (base-20) system. Decimal systems are attested in languages and dialects in the northwestern ...

В работе дается обзор грамматикализованных глагольных конструкций с континуативным значением (‘все еще делать, продолжать делать’), отмечаемых в ряде языков лезгинской группы нахско-дагестанской семьи, однако до сих пор не привлекавших должного внимания исследователей. Особенностью четырех лезгинских языков является наличие стативного глагола, описывающего продолжение существования или нахождения в определенном месте (‘все еще быть, оставаться’), именно этот глагол ...

The purpose of this article is to provide a review of dedicated number marking on verbs in the East Caucasian languages. The review is based on the data drawn from grammatical descriptions. First of all, possible ways to analyze number marking on verbs are discussed: 1) as agreement, i.e. as an operation by which morphological features are copied from word ...

This paper provides a survey of number agreement in the East Caucasian languages and languages of other language families in contact with East Caucasian. For a sample of 59 idioms I considered number agreement strategies of adjectives in the attributive position and established what factors license agreement in these idioms. Besides, I assessed the weight ...

The present article examines the marker guža (гужа) in Andi, a language of the Avar-Andic branch of the Nakh-Daghestanian family. This marker often co-occurs with finite verb forms, so one may think of analysing it as a verbal suffix that derives converbs from finite verbs. However, as I show with examples taken from Andi texts, ...

The paper provides a description of nominal inflection in Kina Rutul, a variety of the Rutul language (< Lezgic < Nakh-Daghestanian). The description is based on three concepts of paradigmatic classification: class of inflectional equivalence, inflectional type and paradigmatic effect. Class of inflectional equivalence describes main patterns of concatenation between root, case / number exponents ...

The paper presents a tentative overview of pronouns in Ginyanga, an understudied Kwa language spoken in Togo and Ghana; in particular, personal pronouns, reflexive pronouns, demonstratives and quantifiers. There are no subject pronouns in Ginyanga. We define two personal pronoun series with a designated pronoun for each noun class: basic (emphatic and possessive) and object. ...

This paper focuses on the noun phrase in Tanti Dargwa (East Caucasian) and presents evidence for the distinction between modifiers proper (adjectival phrases, participial relative clauses and non-genitive adnominal NPs) and determiner-like elements (demonstratives, indefinite pronouns, numerals and most quantity expressions) in this language. Crucially, this dichotomy, which presumably reflects the distinction between the determinative ...

The paper is a survey of all available descriptive data on a rare agreement pattern observed in East Caucasian (Nakh-Daghestanian) languages under which nominal dependents take different forms depending on whether their head is in the nominative case or any other case. I show that, depending on the language, “agreement in obliqueness” is attested in ...
