OSTYAK
Irina Nikolaeva, Russian Academy of Science
This study is intended to provide a grammatical description of
Ostyak, one of the Uralic languages spoken in Western Siberia. The
description is based on the Northern Ostyak dialect of Obdorsk,
although divergent features of other dialects are also discussed. The
present paper emphasizes the syntactic aspect of the language,
typically ignored in previous descriptive ork on Ostyak, which mostly
concentrates on its phonology and morphology.
Part 1 is a concise sketch of the Ostyak grammar, made up of
the following sections: "Introductory remarks" (geo- and
sociolinguistic data, previous studies, dialect division), "Phonology"
(including phonotactics and prosody), "Morphology" (grammatical
categories, word formation, illustrative paradigms), and "Basic
syntax" (types of simple and complex sentences, discourse
phenomena). A sample text in the Obdorsk dialect of Ostyak is
provided.
Part 2 elaborates on certain syntactic topics that are of a
particular interest from the typological viewpoint. In particular, the
following topics are discussed: information structure and word order,
object agreement, passivization, the relative clause, clause-chaining
and reference tracking, and the category of the evidential.
Part 3 serves to provide the necessary reference. It contains
the bibliography relevant to the present study, as well as the basic
bibliography on Ostyak. The latter includes editions of the folklore
texts, lexicographic publications, comprehensive descriptions, and the
most important studies on certain aspects of the Ostyak grammar.
Irina Nikolaeva completed her dissertation at the Finno-Ugric
department of the Institute for Linguistics of the Russian Academy of
Science. She has been publishing on synchronic and diachronic aspects
on various Siberian languages.
