The Uralic Languages
Author: Daniel Abondolo
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317230973
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 1034
Book Description
The Uralic Languages, second edition, is a reference book which brings together detailed discussions of the historical development and specialized linguistic structures and features of the languages in the Uralic family. The Uralic languages are spoken today in a vast geographical area stretching from Dalarna County in Sweden to Dudinka, Taimyr, Russia. There are currently approximately 50 languages in the group, the largest one among them being the state languages Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian; other Uralic languages covered in the book are South Saami, Skolt Saami, Võro, Moksha Mordvin, Mari, Udmurt, Zyrian Komi, Mansi, Khanty, Nganasan, Forest and Tundra Enets, Nenets, and Selkup. The book also contains a chapter on Finnic languages, the reconstruction of Uralic, the history of Uralic studies, connections of Uralic to other language families, and language names, demographics, and degrees of endangerment. This second and thoroughly revised edition updates and augments the authoritative accounts of the first edition and reflects recent and ongoing developments in linguistics and the languages themselves, as well as our further enhanced understanding of the relations and patterns of influence between them. Each chapter combines modern linguistic analysis and documentary linguistics; a relatively uniform structure allows for easy typological comparison between the individual languages. Written by an international team of experts, The Uralic Languages will be invaluable to students and researchers within linguistics, folklore, and Siberian studies.

The Oxford Guide to the Uralic Languages
Author: Marianne Bakró-Nagy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191080284
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 960
Book Description
This volume offers the most comprehensive and wide-ranging treatment available today of the Uralic language family, a group of languages spoken in northern Eurasia. While there is a long history of research into these languages, much of it has been conducted within several disparate national traditions; studies of certain languages and topics are somewhat limited and in many cases outdated. The Oxford Guide to the Uralic Languages brings together leading scholars and junior researchers to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the internal relations and diversity of the Uralic language family, including the outlines of its historical development, and the contacts between Uralic and other languages of Eurasia. The book is divided into three parts. Part I presents the origins and development of the Uralic languages: the initial chapters examine reconstructed Proto-Uralic and its divergence, while later chapters provide surveys of the history and codification of the three Uralic nation-state languages (Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian) and the Uralic minority languages from Baltic Europe to Siberia. This part also explores questions of endangerment, revitalization, and language policy. The chapters in Part II offer individual structural overviews of the Uralic languages, including a number of understudied minority languages for which no detailed description in English has previously been available. The final part of the book provides cross-Uralic comparative and typological case studies of a range of issues in phonology, morphology, syntax, and the lexicon. The chapters explore a number of topics, such as information structure and clause combining, that have traditionally received very little attention in Uralic studies. The volume will be an essential reference for students and researchers specializing in the Uralic languages and for typologists and comparative linguists more broadly.

Negation in Uralic Languages
Author: Matti Miestamo
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027268649
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 679
Book Description
The grammaticalized expression of negation is a linguistic universal. This volume deals with negation in the Uralic language family in a typological perspective. As in no other major language family before, a comprehensive typological questionnaire provides the basis for the chapters documenting negation in 17 languages. Most of them are endangered. The chapters highlight negative auxiliary verbs—the special Uralic feature—and their ways of combining with the rich inventory of other negators in different types of clauses, as well as negative replies, negative indefinites, abessives/caritives/privatives, scope, polarity and emphatic negation. Selected aspects of negation, such as negative indefinites, negation of non-verbal predicates and information structure, are discussed in more detail in five further chapters. The book brings new typologically informed perspectives on negation in the Uralic family, and it provides valuable data and insights for any linguist working on negation.

Songs Beyond the Kalevala
Author: Anna-Leena Siikala
Publisher: Finnish Literature Society
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
The title of this volume refers to the tradition of rune singing which was the foundation for Elias Lonnrot's compilation of the Kalevala epic. The interest in the epic poetry chosen as the basis for the 'Kalevala' both gave birth to Finnish folkloristics as well as constituted its most important area from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century. The comparative research method created by Julius Krohn, which was perfected and formulated into the historical geographical method by his son Kaarle Krohn, formed the foundation for Kalevala poetry research in the beginning of the last century. A research method derived from evolutionist and diffusionist cultural theories sought answers to questions concerning the age and character of the poetry. These questions had a central importance in the creation of the young nation-state's cultural capital. The typological research established in the 1930s and the textual critique of the 1950s did not question these basic premises, although the theoretical centres of attention had shifted. Historical types of examination preserved their status because a rune-tradition which contained pre-Christian mythology and ancient ethnographic elements was considered to provide a glimpse into the past of the non-literate Finnish-Karelian culture.
