“…However, the grammar files in Giellatekno describe another dialect and follow another grammar. For this reason, we plan to create new grammar files for Tundra Nenets within the framework of Giellatekno, which may be used for morphological analysis of this dialect of Tundra Nenets according to the grammar of Nikolaeva [18] in the future.…”

For most of the Uralic languages, there is a lack of systematically collected, consequently transcribed and morphologically annotated text corpora. This paper sums up the steps, the preliminary results and the future directions of building a linguistic corpus of some Uralic languages, namely Tundra Nenets, Udmurt, Synya Khanty, and Surgut Khanty. The experiences of building a corpus containing both old and modern, and written and oral data samples are discussed. Principles concerning data collection strategies of languages with different level of vitality and endangerment are discussed. Methodologies and challenges of data processing, and the levels of linguistic annotation are also described in detail.

“…The distribution of agreement affixes on the head is also the same: agreement is obligatory if the possessor or the beneficiary is pronominal, as in (3), but optional when they correspond to a lexical noun, as in (4). Its presence in this instance depends on the pragmatic prominence of the possessor/beneficiary, but this is not relevant for present purposes (for detail see Nikolaeva, 2014).…”

“…Predestinative subjects and objects exhibit most though not all of the behavioural properties of nonpredestinative subjects and objects (for detail see Nikolaeva, 2014 and the discussion of some properties of predestinative objects in section 4), and in this sense they are somehow grammatically 'weakened'. What we probably have here is a change in syntactic properties without the shift of the actual grammatical relation.…”

“…As for Tundra Nenets, the morphology and distribution of predestinatives are known from a number of previous descriptions, which also revealed that predestinatives encode some kind of temporal information within the NP (for recent English-language descriptions see Nikolaeva, 2009Nikolaeva, , 2014. However, neither syntax nor semantics of Tundra Nenets predestinatives have been studied in sufficient detail.…”

On the expression of TAM on nouns: Evidence from Tundra Nenets

The paper aims to enrich the database of independent time-related morphology on nouns and contribute to the discussion of its categorization by examining the so-called predestinative forms in Tundra Nenets (Uralic). The basic semantic contribution predestinatives make consists in providing temporal information relevant for the interpretation of possessive NPs: they specify the relation between the time at which the possessive predicate is true of the possessor and the possessed noun, and the time at which the whole NP is true. However, some properties of predestinatives are not easily accounted for by the nominal tense analysis; rather it would be more appropriate to analyze them as nominal mood, in particular, subjunctive or embedded irrealis. The paper concludes that Tundra Nenets presents rather clear evidence for a TAM category on nouns, but whether it is tense or mood ultimately depends on whether nominal tense is defined as a category that affects the time at which the whole NP is true or the time at which the predicate embedded within the NP is true.

Stratal OT and Underspecification: Evidence from Tundra Nenets

Tundra Nenets exhibits many consonantal alternations, such as cluster simplification, place loss, lenition, and a variety of NC-effects, which combine transparent and opaque interactions within the same phrasal domain of application. To reconcile the Tundra Nenets data within Stratal OT, we assume abstract autosegmental representations, relying on underspecification and hierarchical organization of features. The analysis incorporates the proposal of McCarthy (2008) that consonant cluster simplification starts with place loss. Apparent opaque deletion mappings are reanalyzed as coalescence within the correspondence theory (McCarthy and Prince 1995; 1999). The analysis unifies Tundra Nenets consonant cluster alternations and assumes only one surface glottal stop.
