The syntax of causatives has been a marginal topic in studies on Surgut Khanty (but see Csepregi 2023). However, the discussion of causative morphology is a part of previous grammatical descriptions (cf. Honti 1984). Our aim is to provide a morphosyntactic profile of Surgut Khanty causatives with a brief comparison to other Ob-Ugric languages. ...

Crosslinguistically, languages vary in that either indirect or direct object can be more prominent in applicative clauses. In languages with indirective alignment, the theme (DO) bears object case (Acc or Abs) and/or triggers object agreement. In languages with secundative alignment, the IO bears object case (Acc or Abs) and/or triggers object agreement. Some languages make use of both alignments. The indirective-secundative alternation is attested in several Uralic languages – e.g. Khanty, Mans ...

Phonologists of the Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics are organising a two-day Symposium on Vowel Harmony to be held in Budapest, 16-17 November 2023. The language of the Symposium is English.

Many analyses assume that domain effects in grammar exist where different types of linguistic phenomena cannot apply across or outside a particular domain. For example, most syntactic operations such as movement or agree are constrained by locality domains; in the morphology there are suppletion asymmetries; and in the phonology stress assignment or hiatus resolution are sensitive to different locality domains as well.

Dear Colleagues,We are pleased to inform you that Sali A. Tagliamonte (University of Toronto) will be a guest at the Research Centre for Linguistics between October 24 and 27, 2023, as part of the project “Variation in Middle Hungarian: a register perspective” (NKFIH 135186). During her visit, she will give two public lectures, and deliver a two-day workshop on the steps and methodological aspects of variationist sociolinguistic research. The details of the two public lectures are as follows:Oct ...
