Abstract:

This volume, originally published in Russian in 2012, is one of the few larger
works on Nivkh (Gilyak), an underinvestigated endangered Paleosiberian
language-isolate, that have appeared lately. It is a descriptive grammar based
on extensive language data and supplemented with the authors’ experiments and
subtle analysis, aimed at elucidating some moot points of the highly specific
Nivkh syntax, and with quantitave data. It focuses on syntactic and semantic
types of verbs and their aspectual and temporal characteristics, various
groups of verbal grammatical morphemes, the use of finite and non-finite verb
forms, and especially on numerous converbs, sentence types, word order,
two-predicate constructions, relative clauses, direct and indirect speech,
text structure and cohesion. The typological expertise and insights of V.P.
Nedjalkov and the native intuitions of G.A. Otaina combine to add value to
this volume. The book will be of interest to specialists in morphosyntax,
typology, general linguistics and indigenous languages.
