Деепричастия в диалектах северного наречия удмуртского языка
Adverbial Participles in the Northern Dialect of the Udmurt

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the form and function of adverbial participles (converbs) in the Northern dialect of Udmurt. So far these forms have found insufficient coverage in scientific literature. The study demonstrates that neither the composition nor grammatical meanings of adverbial participles in these dialects differ greatly from those used in the literary language. It is established that the specificity of the adverbial forms is found in the phonetic design of some suffixes (-ку/-кы; -ччоз'/-ӵӵож/-тоз'), as well as in some peculiarities of their function. These are compared with analogous phenomena observed in other Udmurt dialects. The research is based on the author’s own field materials collected during numerous expeditions to the Northern Udmurts.
