aspect paradigm Paradigm Change: In the Transeurasian languages and beyond, Robbeets, Martine and Walter Bisang (eds.), pp. 235–242 | Chapter
The North Siberian Turkic language Yakut has two imperfect paradigms.

The paper outlines the main principles of grammaticalization, the Code-Copying Model, and the emergence of isomorphic structures in language contact. It offers a number of examples of code-copying and grammaticalization, and a summary of the author’s approach to contact-induced change and… read more
2013 On non-canonical modal clause junction in Turkic Diachronic and Typological Perspectives on Verbs, Josephson, Folke and Ingmar Söhrman (eds.), pp. 159–172 | Article
The following remarks concern Turkic clause junction types that are considered to be non-canonical, i.e. not conforming to typically Altaic patterns.

2012 Pyramids of spatial relators in Northeastern Turkic and its neighbors Argument Structure and Grammatical Relations: A crosslinguistic typology, Suihkonen, Pirkko, Bernard Comrie and Valery Solovyev (eds.), pp. 191–210 | Article
The paper deals with the coding of basic spatial relations in Northeastern Turkic of Siberia-Mongolia and its neighbors. The devices available are taken to represent five successive levels of a “pyramid”, standing for different degrees of semantic accuracy: (A) markerless constructions, (B) simple… read more

The issues addressed include aspectotemporal discourse types as textual cooccurrence patterns, the… read more
