In this chapter, several constructions in Ossetic and Russian are analyzed with respect to coordination and subordination: in Ossetic, two clause combining constructions utilizing the coordinating conjunction æmæ; in Russian, causal clauses. It is …
We present data regarding the positioning of clitics in the Iron dialect of Ossetic, which is in some respects similar to data for ‘second-position’ clitics in more familiar languages, but in other respects is considerably more complicated. We …
In this paper I analyze two so-called pseudocoordinating constructions in Ossetic. In these constructions, the conjunction *ɜmɜ* ‘and’ introduces causal and complement clauses, which is not typical of coordinating conjunctions. When known tests for …
In this paper, I analyze two clause combining strategies in Ossetic that exhibit mixed properties between coordination and subordination. I argue that the `mismatch approach' proposed by Culicover & Jackendoff (1997) and Yuasa & Sadock (2002) is best …
Ossetic, an Iranian language of the North Caucasus, makes extensive use of correlatives in its system of subordination. I argue that most subordinate clause types in Ossetic belong to this construction, with their function being derived from the …
Correlatives are a subtype of relative constructions where the subordinate clause precedes the main clause, contains a relative pronoun or DP, and is resumed in the main clause by a full DP containing a personal or demonstrative pronoun (the …
This article deals with several problematic instances of case marking in Ossetic: suspended affixation, case government of the preposition ɜnɜ 'without', differential object marking, the distribution of the forms of Iron kɜrɜzi 'each other' in the …
The thesis concerns the syntax and semantics of Ossetic correlatives. First, I describe the functions of correlatives in detail. This construction is the main type of subordination in Ossetic and its frequency by far exceeds that of other subordinate …
This paper is devoted to the use of two tools for creating morphologically annotated linguistic corpora: UniParser and the EANC platform. The EANC platform is the database and search framework originally developed for the Eastern Armenian National …
This paper concerns the analysis of correlatives in the Iron dialect of Ossetic. Most of the existing analyses of correlatives in languages of the world are based on the assumption that correlatives are a subclass of relative clauses, and that the …
