Indefinite pronouns in Uralic languages
In this paper, different types of indefinite pronouns and adverbs that can occur in negative sentences in the Uralic languages will be described and discussed against a wider typological background. It will be shown that Uralic languages display the typological default strategy as to the interaction with sentential negation – Uralic indefinite pronouns and adverbs in negative contexts always require the presence of sentential negation – but do not show unity as to the type of indefinite used in negation. Four different types will be distinguished: neutral indefinites, negative polarity indefinites, and two types of negative indefinites: morphologically non-negative ones and morphologically negative ones.
