Abstract

Kamas is an extinct Samoyedic language which used to be spoken in Southern Siberia. Its last speaker, Klavdiya Plotnikova, was recorded in 1963–1970. This chapter is based on the INEL Kamas Corpus, comprising texts collected by Kai Donner in 1912–1914 and all known recordings of Plotnikova. In earlier Kamas, the preferred clause linkage strategies were asyndetic, mostly involving general or specialized nonfinite forms. Due to heavy Russian influence, syndetic strategies using borrowed conjunctions expanded greatly in Plotnikova’s variety. While general converbs, participles and infinitives were multifunctional, each of the broadly conceived functions could also be expressed with various means.
