Description

Khanina Olesya, Shluinsky Andrey. Finite structures in Forest Enets subordination. Москва, 2008. Enets is a moribund Northern Samoyedic language traditionally spoken on the right bank of the Lower Yenisei River (Taimyr Peninsula, Western Siberia). Now the use of Enets is basically restricted to two villages of the area, Potapovo in the south (Forest dialect) and Vorontsovo in the north (Tundra dialect). Enets is no longer used on an everyday basis, however, about 30–50 people, all over 45 and all native or near-native speakers of Russian, retain substantial production competence and rather full comprehension competence. Yet, field reports (cf., e.g., Helimski, Ms) show that the Enets spoken by these present-day speakers is structurally different in some respects from the language of their parents and grandparents reported in earlier sources, such as Castrеn (1854), Prokofjev (1937), Tereschenko (1966, 1977, 1993), Sorokina (1975, 1981, 1985), Cheremisina et al. (1986), Sorokina & Bolina (2005), Urman-chieva (2006).
