Replication Data for: Russian verbal borrowings in Udmurt

DOI

This is the dataset used in a study of Russian verbal loans in Udmurt. The files contain lists of Russian verbs found in the Udmurt social media corpus (http://udmurt.web-corpora.net/index_en.html), manually annotated for several features such as aspect or frequencies in different corpora.

Abstract: In Udmurt, a Uralic language that has experienced long and extensive contact with the dominant Russian language, all four typologically relevant strategies of verbal borrowing are attested. This is unusual both cross-linguistically and for the Uralic family. The paper investigates these strategies and the factors that govern their choice. It turns out that, although free variation plays a major role in the distribution of strategies, there are also several important morphological, stylistic and areal factors. By analyzing these factors and the available historical data, I propose a diachronic explanation of the currently observed distribution. The study is mostly based on corpus data collected from contemporary Udmurt-language social media.
