With unusual structural characteristics, Finnish and Saami offer
interesting challenges to linguistic theories formulated around
more popular languages. Grammatically, for instance, languages in
the Finnic and Saami group utilize extensive systems of case
inflection on nouns to signal a broad variety of relations that in
almost all other languages require additional words.
Phonologically, as another example, the phenomenon of "consonant
gradation" is of particular interest to linguists.
This volume is the first to examine the phonology, morphology,
syntax, and semantics of Finnic and Saami languages within current
generative linguistic frameworks. Collected here is research on
these less-studies languages, some of which now face extinction.
