Abstract:

With this descriptive grammar of Nganasan Beáta Wagner-Nagy presents a
comprehensive description of the highly endangered Samoyedic language, spoken
only by a small number of individuals on Siberia’s Taimyr Peninsula. Based on
corpus data from the Nganasan Spoken Language Corpus as well as field work the
grammar follows a traditional structure. Contents range from a description of
phonetic features and phonological processes over word classes, morphological
features to syntactic and semantic properties. The grammar highlights
morphophonological alternations as well as the pragmatic organization of
Nganasan. A discussion of the core vocabulary completes the account in
addition to two sample texts. 

The grammar reflects significant typological aspects thus serving as a
reasonable basis for further comparison in Uralic studies.
