The adrelative genitive in Udi: Syntactic borrowing plus reanalysis
P. 325-349.
In Udi (Northeast Caucasian, Lezgic), the prenominal relative clause may be preceded by a genitive phrase referring, at first glance, to some of its arguments. It is proposed that this construction results from a borrowing from Azerbaijani, which, however, underwent reanalysis: the genitive phrase behaves as the possessor of the matrix nominal phrase and the relative clause appears to specify the possessive relation. The Udi data are further compared with data from a few other languages that display similar constructions.

Udi is a Nakh-Daghestanian (Lezgic) language spoken in northern Azerbaijan, which has undergone many contact-induced changes due to the influence of unrelated languages of the eastern Caucasus (Indo-European, Turkic). A recent change is the borrowing of the conditional enclitic =sa from Azerbaijani (Turkic). In Udi, this marker can combine with finite indicative tenses, resulting in a series of derived ‘realis’ ...

The paper enters the controversy between different approaches to East Caucasian relativization. In one analysis, East Caucasian relativization is constrained only by the semantic and pragmatic frame of the situation. However, our analysis of the data shows a divergence between corpus data on relativization that can only be explained in syntactic terms: Udi reflexivization prefers ...

Aims and hypothesis:
The aim of this article is to introduce a case of syntactic borrowing. I test the hypothesis that the uses of volitional forms (optative, imperative, hortative and jussive) in complement clauses of the verbs of wish and in purpose clauses in East Caucasian languages evolve under the influence of Azerbaijanian.

Показывается, что в удинских относительных конструкциях представлено некатегориальное подчинение - использование форм, не специфицирующих синтаксический статус клаузы. ...

Статья посвящена детальному исследованию дифференцированного маркирования объекта в ниджском диалекте удинского языка (лезгинская ветвь нахско-дагестанской семьи). На материале корпуса письменных и устных удинских текстов показано, что основным фактором, влияющим на падежное оформление пациентивного аргумента глагола, является референциальный статус соответствующей именной группы. Влияние других факторов, таких как одушевлённость референта или полярность клаузы, признается незначимым. В работе ...

Udi (East Caucasian) possesses several means of expressing the meaning ‘other’, namely (i) the combination of a (usually distal) demonstrative with a numeral (usually ‘one’), arguably calqued from Azerbaijani, (ii) the expression originating from a combination of a demonstrative with the noun ‘arm, side’ and (iii) borrowed adjectives. It is shown that the morphological properties ...

Typological definitions of linguistic categories must not only provide cross-linguistically applicable criteria to identify them but also produce typologically natural interpretations of individual linguistic systems.
