The quantified phrases may bind possessive suffixes as in the sentence Sii v\u00e1lde guhtet vuoj\u00e1n-is<\/em> \u2018Each of them took his\/her driving reindeer\u2019 the phrase sii\u2026guhtet<\/em> \u2018each of them\u2019 binds the possessive suffix -is<\/em> \u2018his\/her\u2019. The studied idiolects fall into at least three categories with respect to their use of distributive possessive suffixes: (A) The oldest generation uses for all persons distributive suffixes which are formally identical with the third person suffixes: Dii v\u00e1lddiidet guhtet vuoj\u00e1n-is<\/em> \u2018Each of you took her\/his (-is<\/em> PxSg3) driving reindeer\u2019, Moai v\u00e1lddiime goabbat vuoj\u00e1n-is<\/em> \u2018Each of us two took his\/her driving reindeer\u2019, Sii v\u00e1lde guhtet vuoj\u00e1n-is<\/em> \u2018Each of them took her\/his driving reindeer\u2019; (B) The majority of idiolects in all age classes uses distributive suffixes for the third person only: Moai v\u00e1lddiime goabbat vuoj\u00e1n-eame<\/em> \u2018Each of us two took his\/her (-is<\/em> PxDu2) driving reindeer\u2019, Sii v\u00e1lde guhtet vuoj\u00e1n-is<\/em> \u2018Each of them took her\/his (-is<\/em> PxSg3) driving reindeer\u2019; (C) A few idiolects use no distributive suffixes: Sii v\u00e1lde guhtet vuoj\u00e1n-easet<\/em> \u2018Each of them took his\/her (-easet<\/em> PxPl3) driving reindeer\u2019. The nature and description of binding and agreement relations is discussed together with the concepts of subject and object in the light of North Sami data. It is suggested that the nominative argument of passive verbs is syntactically rather an object than a subject; furthermore in some active sentence types the subject may be marked with the accusative ending, making it look like an object. There is no subject-object contrast in sentences of either type and hence their subjects\u00a0can be marked morphologically and their objects left unmarked without loss of clarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Davvis\u00e1megiela distributiiva cealkagat Pekka Sammallahti (Giellagas-instituhtta, Oulu universitehta) Vie\u010d\u010da artihkkala d\u00e1s\u00a0(pdf).
