Chapter 20The essive-translative in Selkup and Kamas
This chapter presents an empirical study of the distribution of a marker referred to as the ‘essive-translative’ in Selkup. The description of the properties of this marker follows the linguistic questionnaire that captures the contexts in which essive and/or translative markers may occur in the Uralic languages. The study specifically investigates the opposition between permanent and impermanent state in non-verbal predications. The linguistic domains involved are non-verbal main predication, secondary predication, complementation, and manner, temporal, and circumstantial adverbial phrases. Kamas does not have such marker.
Keywords: Selkup, Kamas, depictive, essive case, impermanent state, non-verbal predication, focus
