This paper considers contact-induced change in Izhma Komi
subdialects spoken in Western Siberia. We focus on the interaction of Izhma
Komi, first, with Russian and, second, with the indigenous Siberian
languages (Nenets and to a lesser extent Khanty). The main emphasis is on
the phenomena of pattern borrowing at various language levels, which mostly
remained beyond previous studies. For instance, these include the borrowing of some phonotactic patterns, the copying of polysemy patterns, and changes in the
properties of some grammatical constructions. We discuss how in each case
the degree of contact-induced change depends on the sociolinguistic
situation.
Keywords: Uralic languages, Izhma Komi, Nenets, Khanty, Russian, contact-induced change, loan translation
