- Title
THE l-CASES IN COURLAND LIVONIAN.
- Authors
Blokland, Rogier; Inaba, Nobufumi
- Abstract
Courland Livonian is the only Finnic language where the habitive expressions of giving, taking, and having do not use the so-called l-cases, but instead the dative, the elative or a postposition. As the l-cases mostly only occur in a number of fossilised expressions they have received less attention in the literature. In this article we summarise the functions of the l-cases in Courland Livonian on the basis of previous research and consider their status.
