Length of East Caucasian subject indexes: a quantative research
P. 258–282.
In this article I present a connection between frequency and length of person-number indexes via two independent researches: token frequency obtained from the Universal Dependencies’ treebanks and type frequency gathered within a typological study. After introducing the results of those two studies, I will present East Caucasian data. I show that the unusual history of person-number indexes in these languages leads to violations of the tendencies.

Наличие супплетивной формы лет в парадигме существительного год отличает русский язык от других восточнославянских. При этом в русских говорах вместо лет может использоваться вариант годов. Данные панхронического подкорпуса НКРЯ показывают, что форма годов, зафиксированная впервые в XV в., на всем протяжении истории русского языка была
периферийной, в XVII–XVIII вв. использовалась преимущественно в нехудожественных текстах, а в ...

Andi (East Caucasian) features a verb form that marks an event that is (still) not happening, contrary to the speaker’s expectation (i.e. ‘Still Not’ Present). This form is unusual for several reasons. First, forms of this kind are not typical for the language family. Second, while it conveys negative semantics, the form does not contain ...

The paper provides corpus and experimental evidence for three types of Russian asymmetric metalinguistic comparatives (lučše, skoree, and bol’še meta-comparatives), two parts of which belong to different syntactic categories or have different morphological forms. The paper points out that meta-comparatives have certain morphological and syntactic properties and show diversity among their various grammatical patterns. From ...

В статье описываются сонорные согласные чукотского языка, а особенное внимание уделено тем из них, которые демонстрируют значительную фонетическую вариативность: аппроксимантам и r. Эта вариативность осмысляется с точки зрения акустики и артикуляции, типологии, истории и диалектологии чукотско-корякских идиомов, социолингвистики и влияния русского языка. Многообразие подходов призвано связать воедино разрозненные факты о чукотском языке, объяснить необычные реализации ...

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 ...

In this paper, we discuss the challenges that we faced during the construction of a Universal Dependencies treebank for Abaza, a polysynthetic Northwest Caucasian language. We propose an alternative to the morpheme-level annotation of polysynthetic languages introduced in Park et al. (2021). Our approach aims at reducing the number of morphological features, yet providing all ...

This paper focuses on the semantics of four analytical verbal constructions in Sakha (<Turkic). We describe the restrictions on the semantic type of the situation and its participants, as well as the construction’s combinability with different temporal and aspectual adverbials, which helps to reconstruct the aspectual profile of the constructions in question. ...

The paper examines the semantics and distribution of the polyfunctional Hill Mari focus particle =ok. We describe two interpretations of =ok possible on a wide range of hosts: the exhaustive use and the counteradditive use; besides, we consider several uses that are only possible with a lexically or semantically conditioned set of entities. We argue ...

Our paper focuses on the Russian expression svoj. Many authors argue that it should be divided into two lexemes: a reflexive possessive that must be locally bound and an adjective. However, while some cases are clear, the others became a source of controversy. This problem has never been analyzed in a corpus study. In this ...

Glottalized sonorants are a rare sound type that has been under scrutiny for a number of reasons of general relevance to the phonetic theory. It has been claimed that the timing of glottalization of glottalized sonorants may shift in accordance with the position in the syllable onset (pre-glottalization) or coda (post-glottalization), to provide a cue ...
