Dataset of Northern Khanty transitive clauses, version 1.0

This dataset is created for a study of morphosyntactic variation in Northern Khanty.

The research is conducted in terms of the project ”Verb agreement and voice in Northern Khanty discourse” supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

The results of my study are to appear in an article "The emergence of hierarchical alignment in Northern Khanty: a comparative dialectal corpus study" submitted to the journal "Linguistica Uralica".

The dataset contains mannualy annotated transitive clauses from four Northern Khanty dialects: Kazym, Obdorsk, Shuryshkary, and Tegi.

Transitive clauses here are active and passive clauses containing at least two overtly and/or pronominally expressed core arguments

Parameters: voice, conjugation, person, animacy, uniqueness/maximality, familiarity

The sources are:

(1) an unpublished corpus of Northern Khanty (Kazym, Tegi, Shuryshkary) compiled by Egor Kashkin,

(2) an online corpus of Obdorsk Khanty from the database "Endangered Languages and Cultures of Siberia".

Warning!!! The annotation is a product of my own work and has not been reviewed by third party, thus it may contain errors

Glosses are only partially available, translations and glosses from (1) are available only in Russian

Parameters of uniqueness/maximality and familiarity were only annotated separately for Obdorsk and Kazym dialects, in Tegi and Shuryshkary annotation all instances of familiar referents had been treated as unique/maximal
