[Title] The character of the distinctive affix ‑i and the question of the category of
distinction in the Chuvash language
In the article, the "distinctive suffixes" of the Chuvash language -i,
-χi, and -sker, as well as the third person possessive suffix -i /-ĕ expressing definiteness, are
investigated on the basis of grammatical literature. The author agrees with
some Chuvash scholars that regard the "category of distinction" as problematic
but considers "distinctive suffix" to be an appropriate name for the suffix ‑i, which combines the characteristics of
the Turkic distinctive suffix *-ki and the definite possessive suffix.
The author also discusses the absence of
‘marking definiteness’ among the functions of the possessive suffixes in
Chuvash grammatical tradition.</p

The article discusses the formation and development of several literary languages. The main objects of the study are the Finno-Ugric languages spoken in the Volga-Kama region (Russia), and Chuvash, but, for comparison, Norwegian, Arabic, Russian, Finnish and some other Finno-Ugric languages are treated, as well. A general classification of cases where linguistic variation tends to occur in standard languages is put forward. The author also discusses the question whether some kind of universal “normal” amount of variation can be defined for literary languages. The conclusion is that the degree of variation allowed in a literary norm is highly language-specific and depends on the characteristics of the linguistic situation and the history of the literary standard.Siirretty Doriastaei tietoa saavutettavuudest

Get PDFThe current discussion on the Erzya and Moksha languages from the viewpoint of discourse analysis
The article contains an analysis of 21 texts in which the current situation of the Mordvin languages and nationalities (Erzya and Moksha) in Russia is discussed. The texts were taken from the Internet and date from the late 1990s to the end of the first decade of the third millennium. The method used in the study is critical discourse analysis (Norman Fairclough). As a result of the analysis, eight different discourses were identified. These discourses reveal different viewpoints on the ongoing changes as well as attempts to influence the current linguistic situation. Further, these discourses reflect different ways of conceiving the national and linguistic reality.Siirretty Doriastaei tietoa saavutettavuudest

No full textThe article describes some concrete problems that were encountered when writing a two-level model of Mari morphology. Mari is an agglutinative Finno-Ugric language spoken in Russia by about 600 000 people. The work was begun in the 1980s on the basis of K. Koskenniemi’s Two-Level Morphology (1983), but in the latest stage R. Beesley’s and L. Karttunen’s Finite State Morphology (2003) was used.
Many of the problems described in the article concern the inexplicitness of the rules in Mari grammars and the lack of information about the exact distribution of some suffixes, e.g. enclitics. The Mari grammars usually give complete paradigms for a few unproblematic verb stems, whereas the difficult or unclear forms of certain verbs are only superficially discussed. Another example of phenomena that are poorly described in grammars is the way suffixes with an initial sibilant combine to stems ending in a sibilant. The help of informants and searches from electronic corpora were used to overcome such difficulties in the development of the two-level model of Mari.
The variation of the order of plural markers, case suffixes and possessive suffixes is a typical feature of Mari. The morphotactic rules constructed for Mari declensional forms tend to be recursive and their productivity must be limited by some technical device, such as filters. In the present model, certain plural markers were treated like nouns. The positional and functional versatility of the possessive suffixes can be regarded as the most challenging phenomenon in attempts to formalize the Mari morphology.
Cyrillic orthography, which was used in the model, also caused problems. For instance, a Cyrillic letter may represent a sequence of two sounds, the first being part of the word stem while the other belongs to a suffix. In some cases, letters for voiced consonants are also generalized to represent voiceless consonants. Such orthographical conventions distance a morphological model based on orthography from the actual (morpho)phonological processes in the language.Siirretty Doriastaei tietoa saavutettavuudest
