2024 Same yet different: Distributional differences in the use of partitive objects in Estonian and Finnish Methods for Studying Variation in Partitives, Sleeman, Petra and Anne Tamm (eds.), pp. 323–371 | Article
The article compares the distributional differences in the use of the partitive object cases in Estonian and Finnish via multifactorial modeling in contrastive research using the European Parliament parallel text corpus. Based on previous contrastive research on Finnic, we expected the… read more
2024 Methodological solutions for researching the variation of partitives in languages with rich nominal morphology Methods for Studying Variation in Partitives, Sleeman, Petra and Anne Tamm (eds.), pp. 189–232 | Article
This article examines methodologies for studying variation in partitives. It focuses on the challenges for languages with rich nominal morphology.

2021 Russian influence on Surgut Khanty and Estonian aspect is limited but similar Language Contact in the Territory of the Former Soviet Union, Forker, Diana and Lenore A. Grenoble (eds.), pp. 183–216 | Chapter

This article shows that the Estonian partitive evidential marks predicates in sentences that express incomplete evidence. Partitive occurs in the categories of aspect, epistemic modality, and evidentiality, marking objects and present participles. Despite the difference in syntax, the semantics of… read more
