Abstract:

This corpus study presents a comparative quantitative analysis of the
partitive-accusative alternation of object case in five Finnic languages,
using Bible texts. Objects of finite, non-finite and impersonal verbs are
discussed. It includes a comparison of the use of case in written old Estonian
and Finnish, tracing changes through to modern times, with some historical
data also from Karelian, Livonian and Veps. The nominative-partitive
alternation of copula complements and subjects in existential clauses is also
analysed synchronically and diachronically. The review of relevant literature,
much of which is in Finnish or Estonian, and explanatory introductions in all
sections, are especially useful for those starting to study Finno-Ugric
languages, but also for typologists and historical linguists.
