Finnish is one of the Finno-Ugrian family of languages, and being
historically linked with Swedish, can be compared with that
language, particularly in its vocabulary. There are about five
million native speakers of the language and large Finnish-speaking
minorities in Norway, Sweden, the USA and Canada. It is a
morphologically rich language, which has 15 cases and a variety of
finite and non-finite verbal categories. Its inflectional suffixes
have a wide range of grammatical functions and a large number of
derivational affixes, providing a productive source of word
formation. It has a complex vowel system. This descriptive grammar
explores many interesting details of Finnish syntax, morphology,
phonology and lexicon, providing the linguist, for the first time
in English, with the opportunity for cross-language comparisons and
making this important language accessible to a wide range of
theoretical and descriptive linguistic analysis. This book should
be of interest to postgraduates and academics in linguistics and
Nordic languages.
