Abstract:

This book describes the morphological system of modern Yukaghir in a
historical perspective, and proposes the first ever systematic reconstruction
of the main aspects of Proto‑Yukaghir inflectional morphology and the
historical changes it went through. The reconstruction is put into syntactic
context, and based on the evidence for earlier linguistic states and general
typological plausibility.

Yukaghir is shown to be strongly aligned with the grammatical profile of the
Uralic and Altaic languages. In addition, the book discusses potential
cognates for a number of Yukaghir grammatical morphemes and constructions,
primarily from Uralic, evaluates some previous hypotheses in this respect, and
proposes a number of new interpretations, while abstaining from general
conclusions regarding genetic relatedness. Morphological borrowings and
contact-induced grammaticalization processes are also addressed.
