- Abstract
- This paper focuses on nominal tense in Nganasan. The discussion on nominal tense is based on the typology of the categories of tense, aspect and mood for NPs developed by [Nordliger, Sadler 2004; 2008]. The nominal future tense indicating a future possession is а revision of the category of destinative, first developed by [Nikolaeva 2009] for Tundra Nenets. All the Northern Samoyedic languages have nominal future tense, which indicates a future possession and which is used in the nominative, accusative and genitive cases. In Tundra Nenets and Forest Nenets, nominal-future tensed head controls the partitive of the modifier (a feature identified for the first time in this paper). In addition to the nominal future, Nganasan also has a past tense as well as a future-in-the-past mood for NPs. Nganasan nominal tenses and mood are compared to nominal tenses in Guaraní [Tonhauser 2006]. The language empirical material illustrating the topic was largely obtained during field work sessions with native speakers.
