dialects through the lens of Finnic languages in contact </span></b></p>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">The use of demonstrative-derived morphemes in
the head-following position is characteristic of North Russian
dialects (<i>-to </i>and its variants <i>-ta</i>, <i>-tu</i>, <i>-ti</i>,
<i>-te</i>, …) and eastern Finnic languages (<i>-se </i>[singular]
and <i>-ne </i>[plural]), such as Olonets Karelian, Lude, and
Veps. In terms of function, some previous studies regard these
grammatical elements as definite articles, while other recent
studies identify additional functions related to information
structure and discourse. </span>

8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;text-align:justify"><span
style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">Given that an equivalent construction is not
observed in Belarusian and Ukrainian, and <i>-to</i> in other
Russian dialects mostly remain invariable, several studies
propose that declinable <i>-to </i>in North Russian could have
resulted from language contact with the Uralic-speaking
population who adopted Russian as their second language,
particularly Finnic speakers. </span></p>

style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">Of many aspects of the research question,
this presentation will focus on exploring contexts of use of <i>-to</i>
in North Russian and <i>-se</i> in Finnic from the perspectives
of </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times
New Roman",serif">referentiality, information structure,
and evaluation. Potential development paths will also be
discussed by paying attention to the Russian-Finnic contact
scenario during the past millennium. <br>
