I analyze the case marking (nominative vs. partitive) and quantification of the Finnish existential S argument (Se). I focus on Se arguments quantified by mass quantifiers (e.g. paljon ‘much’) and number quantifiers (e.g. usea ‘many’). I discuss grammatical, semantic and discourse functions of… read more

This article examines the category of subject in Finnish. Among the grammatical features examined are case marking, agreement and syntax, semantic role, its relation to other sentence elements and its semantic function as regards the sentence as a whole. One important discourse feature is whether… read more
In many formal theories of grammar, pairs of expressions such as the active and the passive are treated as variants of each other — the passive typically being a secondary construction derived from the active by operations that change the syntactic structure. Recent accounts based on Cognitive… read more
Tuomas Huumo’s paper is a study on fictive motion as manifested by the uses of the Finnish directional (‘to’ vs. ‘from’) local cases in expressions that involve a cognitive change. The cognitive change takes place in the relationship between an experiencer and a stimulus, in such a way that the… read more
Huumo, Tuomas and Krista Ojutkangas 2006 An introduction to Finnish spatial relations: Local cases and adpositionsGrammar from the Human Perspective: Case, space and person in Finnish, Helasvuo, Marja-Liisa and Lyle Campbell (eds.), pp. 11–20 | Article
In their paper, Tuomas Huumo and Krista Ojutkangas first introduce the system of Finnish local cases in general and then discuss the main features of the system of adpositions. The Finnish system for expressing spatial relations consists of six local cases and many adpositions, the precise number… read more
