svoi-chuzhoi opposition

[Katerina P. King]

There are a number of articles on this topic by Olga Yokoyama.
You may also want to check out Jakov I. Gin, "Problemy poetiki
grammaticheskix kategorij: izbrannye raboty", Sankt Peterburg, 1996, in
which he mentions the svoi-chuzhoi opposition in folkloric texts. Also
possibly "Poetika grammaticheskogo roda", Petrozavodsk, 1992, by the same
author.
All the best, and please post a summary of replies if you can. This is a
great topic.
