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 ...

The study focuses on a previously unrecorded model of split agreement in the mirative paradigm in Kazym Khanty. Split agreement is found when comparing active and passive mirative constructions, as well as
in a limited set of uses of non-finite forms. In the passive voice, unlike the active voice, the 3rd person is unmarked and the ...

This study investigates the morphosyntactic coding of core arguments in Northern Khanty, with a
focus on the use of active/passive voice and subjective/objective conjugation. The goal is to offer a
more detailed understanding of the coding patterns across dialects. To achieve this, I analyze corpus
data from four Northern Khanty dialects: Obdorsk, Shuryshkary, Tegi, and Kazym Khanty, using ...

The study examines contexts in Northern Khanty where the presence of internal possessors in the noun phrases of the core arguments influences their morphosyntactic coding. Based on the corpus data from the Kazym dialect of Khanty, I investigate contexts in which the presence of a third-person topical possessor in the agent or patient NP leads ...

The article continues the series of publications focused on the reassessment of the controversial Hokan hypothesis. In this paper, the traditional comparative method is applied to sound correspondences involving labial and coronal obstruents. The obtained results are compared to Terrence Kaufman’s (1989) reconstruction of Proto-Hokan. ...

This article represents the first part of a two-part study devoted to the analysis of Turkic loanwords of the Bulghar-Chuvash type in the Permic languages. In this part, general criteria are proposed for distinguishing Bulgharic borrowings within the corpus of Udmurt and Komi words of Turkic origin. In addition, a “core” layer of Bulghar-Chuvash loanwords ...

Linguistic complexity has generally been seen as influenced by ecological, demographic, and sociolinguistic factors and has been approached by seeking correlations of increased complexity along one linguistic dimension with one or another extralinguistic factor. Here we use a multidimensional definition of phonological complexity and analyze its global patterning quantitatively across predefined continents or sets of ...

The Handbook of Neo-Aramaic aims to provide an introduction to, and details of the complex world of Neo-Aramaic. This large family of endangered Neo-Semitic languages is (or until recently was spoken by Jewish, Christian and Mandaean minorities in parts of the Middle East. Most members of these communities now live in various diasporas.

This paper studies the morphosyntactic properties of bound proprietive and privative markers in some Uralic languages using corpus data and grammatical descriptions. Such affixes are predominantly attached to substantive bases and form derivatives with the meaning of ‘possessing X’ and ‘deprived of X’, respectively.
The first part of the study is devoted to the comparison of ...

The paper deals with the Chuvash language materials recorded by the participant of the Great Northern Expedition, academician Gerhard Friedrich Müller. In 1733, Müller documented more than 300 Chuvash lexical items in northern Chuvashia and in the vicinity of Kazan. His materials should be considered the earliest detailed source on the “historical” dialects of Chuvash. It is shown ...

The known languages of the Americas comprise nearly half of the world's language families and a wide range of structural types, a level of diversity that required considerable time to develop. This paper proposes a model of settlement and expansion designed to integrate current linguistic analysis with other prehistoric research on the earliest episodes in ...

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the Proto-Nivkh accent system and vocalism with the help of loanword analysis and internal reconstruction. It is shown that the place of the Proto-Nivkh accent depended on vowel height and syllable structure. The paper also argues that the unstressed vowel loss, which led to a radical change in Nivkh phonotactics, ...

The need to develop tools for historical and regional variations is becoming more urgent in natural language processing. In this paper, we present two candidate systems for lemmatising historical East Slavic lects (Late Old East Slavic and Middle Russian), as well as modern regional East Slavic lects (Belogornoje and Megra): BERT-based end-to-end pipeline with language-specific ...
