Noun suffixes in the dialect of Gammalsvenskby
Abstract
The dialect of Gammalsvenskby is the only surviving Scandinavian dialect in the territory of the former Soviet Union. Due to the complete absence of studies into the present-day state of the dialect, the most urgent task is to collect, classify and publish the factual material. The paper introduces all available data on the suffixal formation of nouns in the present-day dialect. The sources of the research are interviews with speakers of the conservative variant of the dialect recorded by the author during fieldwork in the village.
Keywords
dialect of Gammalsvenskby, Scandinavian dialects, East Swedish dialects, Swedish dialects of Estonia, dialect morphology, word-formation in Scandinavian dialects.
