The nine contributions collected in this volume deal with clause linkage, focussing on asyndetic constructions that have been little researched in the area of the Ob-Yenisei region. The approaches are in-depth studies of particular languages and mostly based on original data collected in recent fieldworks or from corpora. Differences can be observed, among other things, in a more verbal or nominal use of converbs which take an important role in clause linkage strategies.
Anja Behnke, Ph.D. (2020), University of Hamburg, is a researcher at the Institute of Finno-Ugric/Uralic Studies. She has published a monograph and articles on syntactic structures, focussing on the endangered Samoyedic language Selkup.
