“…Normally, case markers in Udmurt attach to the bare stem and do not require that it be modified with any other suffix before that. However, the recessive case (recall example (3)), which does not exist in the literary language, has not yet fully grammaticalized (Usacheva and Arkhangelskiy 2017). One of the signs of its incomplete grammaticalization is the fact that some speakers allow it to attach to the genitive marker, rather than attaching it directly to the stem (17): Both words have exactly the same meaning, however, in (17b), the recessive marker uses the stem with the genitive as an oblique stem of sorts.…”

“…The dialect differs from the literary language on phonetic, morphosyntactic and lexical levels, however, the two varieties are generally mutually intelligible. In additional to standard Udmurt case inventory, Beserman Udmurt has the recessive case and a series of personal-local cases (Usacheva and Arkhangelskiy 2017); see Appendix 1 for a comparison of Standard Udmurt and Beserman case systems. The Beserman grammar was partly described by Tepljašina (1970) and Ljukina (2008).…”

The topic of this paper is case compounding, i.e. attachment of multiple case markers to a noun stem, in Beserman Udmurt, which we also briefly compare to Literary Udmurt. Almost all types of case compounding as described by Noonan (2008) are attested in the language, however derivational compounding and compounding due to suspended affixation only play a marginal role. We use referential communication experiments and corpus data to analyze the constraints on this phenomenon. We also argue that possessive marking, which is often said to be obligatory in compounding (e.g. Alatyrev 1983: 586, Winkler 2001: 43), is in fact triggered by informational-structural factors that are associated with compounding, rather than by compounding itself. The paper is based primarily on the data that we collected in the field in 2003–2017.Аннотация. Тимофей Архангельский и Мария Усачева: Множественное падежное маркирование в бесермянском диалекте удмуртского. Объектом нашего исследования является множественное падежное маркирование, т. е. наличие нескольких падежных показателей внутри одной словоформы, в бесермянском диалекте удмуртского, который мы также кратко сравниваем с литературным удмуртским. В этом идиоме засвидетельствованы почти все типы множественного маркирования согласно типологии Нунана (Noonan 2008), хотя деривационный тип и отложенная аффиксация явно маргинальны. Для изучения ограничений на это явление мы используем эксперименты на референциальную коммуникацию и корпусные данные. Мы также демонстрируем, что посессивное маркирование, которое часто считается обязательным в такой ситуации (см., напр., Алатырев 1983: 586, Winkler 2001: 43), на самом деле появляется благодаря тем же информационно-структурным факторам, что и множественное маркирование, а не вызывается непосредственно последним. Статья в основном основана на данных, собранных авторами в поле в 2003–2017 гг.Ключевые слова: удмуртский язык, бесермянский диалект, множественное падежное маркирование, информационная структураKokkuvõte. Timofey Arkhangelskiy ja Maria Usacheva: Käänete liitmine Bessermani udmurdi keeles. Artiklis uuritakse käänete liitmist, s.t noomenitüvele mitme käändelõpu lisamist Bessermani udmurdi keeles, võrreldes seda ka udmurdi kirjakeelega. Pea kõik käänete liitmise tüübid on Noonani (2008) kirjelduste järgi keeles kasutusel, kuigi tuletuslikul ja katkestatud lisamisega liitmisel on väike osatähtsus. Kasutame viitelise suhtluse eksperimente ja korpusandmestikku, et selle nähtuse piire analüüsida. Samuti väidame, et possessiivne märkimine, mida peetakse liitmisel sageli kohustuslikuks (nt Alatyrev 1983: 586, Winkler 2001: 43), ei tulene niivõrd mitte liitmisest endast, vaid informatsioonilis-struktuurilistest faktoritest, mis on liitmisega seotud. Artikkel põhineb peamiselt andmetel, mille oleme teema kohta kogunud aastatel 2003–2017.Märksõnad: udmurdi keel, Bessermani udmurdi keel, käänete liitmine, informatsiooniline struktuur

A new converb originating from the locative noun in Beserman

In Beserman, a new converb grammaticalizes from the possessive locative form of the locative noun in (o)ń-ńig. We show that the constructions with the converb have a clausal structure, while the constructions with the locative noun are mostly noun phrases, even if they include an indication of the agent and patient of the situation encoded by the locative noun. Semantically, the two types of constructions are also different. In the converb constructions the situations encoded by the main and the embedded clause must overlap, while with locative nouns this is not necessarily the case. The temporal reference of locative nouns is habitual/iterative, while converbs often have episodic (non-habitual) interpretation. The original locative noun denotes a reference to a fixed location where the situation usually takes place. In the constructions with the converb this meaning is bleached and generalized as an action which takes place in any possible location.

The monograph is the first generalizing study of the category of the noun case of the Permian languages. Based on the material of the Komi and Udmurt languages, their dialects, the structure of case systems, morphological and content characteristics and use of cases, the interaction of the case category with other grammatical categories of the noun are considered in detail. Common and distinctive signs of case systems between the related languages are revealed. The book is addressed to specialists in the field of comparative-historical Finno-Ugric linguistics, areal linguistics, typological case study.
