К ВОПРОСУ ОБ ЭРГАТИВНОСТИ В НОВОАРАМЕЙСКИХ ЯЗЫКАХ
С. 380–399.

This research examines the ergativity in Neo-Aramaic languages. It is based on the materials of the previous works and field studies. The results show that the system of Neo-Aramaic preterit constructions, that is usually being called «ergative», in sober fact is not ergative. In reality in Neo-Aramaic languages two different systems of the marking of verbal arguments can be found: a nominative alignment with the reversed meaning of agreement suffixes and an active alignment, while the real ergativity never appears.

Arab lexicographers rarely attempted to search for a foreign origin of Arabic words, trying instead to derive them—not very persuasively—from autochthonous Arabic roots. Known exceptions mostly involve Persian, a foreign language par excellence for most Arab philologists. This article explores this phenomenon in a different linguistic domain, viz., loanwords from Classical Ethiopic (Geʿez), the language ...

This study documents and analyzes lexical data from four Christian North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic varieties: Mahmudi, Nudiz, Verin Dvin Urmi, and Urmia Urmi, focusing on the previously undescribed Mahmudi and Nudiz. We provide correspondences from these lects for an extended 226-item basic vocabulary list collected for this study with etymologies, cognates from earlier Aramaic, and loanword sources. ...

The purpose of the lexicon is to systematise data on the structure of the verb systems of various North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic varieties. The dictionary now contains information on Christian Urmi, Nudez, Mahmudi and Bohtan idioms. The dictionary is ...

The article is devoted to causative verb alternation in Christian Urmi Neo-Aramaic. I have analyzed the formal types of 31 causal/noncausal verb pairs developed by M. Haspelmath (1993). Field data were collected during the fieldtrip to the village of Urmiya, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. I show that Haspelmath’s ordering of verb meanings according to the likelihood ...

On the basis of field and corpus data, preliminary observations are made about the form and function of serial verb constructions (SVC) in the varieties of Christian Urmi Neo-Aramaic. Serial verb constructions are considered adopting
“wide” understanding of this phenomenon, represented by the works of Plungyan, Aikhenvald and Andrason among many others. Big amount of data ...

Тезисы к докладу, появященному каузативно-инхоативным глагольным парам в христианском урмийском новоарамейском. Анализировались способы маркирования в 31 паре глаголов, предложенных в [Haspelmath 1993]. Сделаны предварительные выводы о влиянии на тип кодирования каузативной оппозиции в урмийском таких семантических параметров, как прототипичность ситуации, степень агентивности субъекта и степень переходности. ...

Настоящее исследование посвящено установлению локуса маркирования синтаксической связи в атрибутивных посессивных конструкциях с релятором ət в урмийском новоарамейском. Конструкция с релятором в урмийском новоарамейском является основным способом выражения как прототипических, так и ти- пологически периферийных значений посессивной зоны [Русских 2021]. В исследовании показано, что несмотря на то, что фонетически частица ət ассоциируется с вершиной посессивной конструкции, синтаксически она образует одну ...

Suffix conjugations (SCs) of East and West Semitic may not be traced back to the same verb form in Proto-Semitic. Rather, they evolved separately, by way of a ‘common drift’ in the two branches of Semitic. This is demonstrated, in particular, by a crass contrast, both in forms and diathetic meanings, between the SCs of ...

In Proto-Aramaic, the passive of transitive verbs belonging to all three principal stems—G, D and C—was formed internally. Some verbs of the G- and D-stems also possessed detransitive derivatives. Transitive verbs of the G-, D- and C-stems lost their internal passives early on, and the passives of G- and D-verbs were encoded by their respective ...

Non-finite forms constitute an important component of the verbal system of Indo-Aryan (IA) languages. On the one hand, some of them, such as e.g., converbs, have already received proper attention in historical linguistics and
typological literature, with regard to Old Indo-Aryan (OIA), Middle Indo-Aryan (MIA) and New Indo-Aryan (NIA) (cf. Tikkanen 1987; Peterson 1998; Subbarao 2012 among others). Other ...

One version involving a beetle (Ṭuroyo keze, Kurmanji kêz) circulates throughout Anatolia and Iraq. The following Ṭuroyo and Kurmanji version was ...
