Common Innovative Processes in the Mansi Dialects: Number Indicators of Nominal Paradigm

EasyChair Preprint 8890

Abstract

The article covers common innovative processes in the nominal paradigm of the Mansi dialects. Though the Mansi language morphological description and inflectional model have already been highly researched, the introduction of the new archival material verifies the proximity of the Mansi dialects and identifies innovations in individual dialects. As a result of the research, the analysis of number indicators of the noun of the Mansi dialects was carried out for the first time on the basis of new archival material dated to the second half of the XIX century. The use of earlier archival materials of this period allowed us to verify the opinion of researchers about the impossibility of carrying out a dialect classification of the Mansi language by morphological features. The analysis of number indicators showed the proximity of the Mansi dialects and the absence of clear dialect differences in the Mansi data of the XVIII century.
