The case of the object in Livonian. A
corpus based study
Abstract
The moribound Livonian language spoken
in Latvia belongs to a subgroup of the Finno-Ugric languages
often referred to as Balto-Finnic languages. In these
languages, which include Finnish and Estonian, two or more
morphological cases can be used to mark the direct object of a
sentence. This book is the first in-depth examination of the
factors conditioning this case alternation in Livonian. It is
based on a large corpus of sentences taken from spoken and
written language sources.
