Near-merger of vowels in Estonian dialects
The present article presents a study of the raising of overlong mid vowels in Estonian dialects. Long mid vowels of South Estonian dialects (Mulgi, Tartu and Võru) have split into full-long mid vowels (Q2) and into overlong raised mid vowels (Q3). Raising of mid vowels also characterises West Estonian dialects. The formant values of raised mid vowels of Võru and Mulgi show that they are much hi...
متن کاملVariation of verbal constructions in Estonian dialects
Traditional Estonian dialect classifications are based on the phonology, morphology, and lexis, and there are very few studies about syntax available. The present paper is the first quantitative syntactic study of Estonian dialects. We concentrate on constructions consisting of finite and non-finite verbs, and we apply contemporary statistical methods to explore the syntactic variation. Our res...
متن کاملPartitive Morphosemantics across Estonian Grammatical Categories, and Case Variation with Equi and Raising
This article discusses two related case marking phenomena in Estonian. The first issue is representing partitive morphosemantics as it is expressed in the language specific aspectual, epistemic modal and evidential grammatical categories. A DRT based sketch of propositional attitudes and speaker-hearer relationships explicates several semantic links between the categories. The second case marki...

The Estonian vowel system includes nine vowels whereas Japanese has only five. The results by six native Japanese and ten native Estonian subjects when reading Estonian target words in sentence show that Japanese subjects were successful in product...
متن کاملPartitive Case and Aspect
