Borise, Lena and Katalin É. Kiss 2023 The emergence of conjunctions and phrasal coordination in KhantyJournal of Historical Linguistics 13:2, pp. 173–219 | Article
Prior to widespread contact with Russian, Khanty (Uralic; Finno-Ugric) did not have overt conjunctions or phrasal coordination. Instead, Khanty texts from the late 19th–early 20th centuries only include examples of conjunction-less clausal juxtaposition, which was used for both clausal and… read more
Kiss, Katalin É. and Nikolett Mus 2022 The reflexive cycle: From reflexive to personal pronoun in UralicJournal of Uralic Linguistics 1:1, pp. 43–66 | Article
Starting from a morphosyntactic puzzle of the Ugric and Samoyedic languages of the Uralic family (possessive agreement suffixes functioning as accusative allomorphs on pronominal objects), this paper identifies a pronoun cycle which leads from reflexives via intensifiers and via referentially… read more
Kiss, Katalin É. 2015 Negation in HungarianNegation in Uralic Languages, Miestamo, Matti, Anne Tamm and Beáta Wagner-Nagy (eds.), pp. 219–238 | Article
The paper presents predicate negation and constituent negation in Hungarian, both of which are expressed by the negative particle nem in indicative clauses, and by ne in imperative, subjunctive, and optative clauses. Se(m) is analyzed as a minimalizing particle, which can replace the particle ne(m)… read more
Kiss, Katalin É. 2013 From Proto-Hungarian SOV to Old Hungarian Top Foc V XDiachronica 30:2, pp. 202–231 | Article
This paper argues that Hungarian underwent a word order change from SOV to Top Foc V X* prior to its documented history beginning in 1192. Proto-Hungarian SOV is reconstructed primarily on the basis of shared constructions of archaic Old Hungarian, and Khanty and Mansi, the sister languages of… read more
Kiss, Katalin É. 2011 On a type of counterfactual constructionApproaches to Hungarian: Volume 12: Papers from the 2009 Debrecen Conference, Laczkó, Tibor and Catherine O. Ringen (eds.), pp. 85–108 | Article
This paper analyzes a Hungarian modal construction with a counterfactual, reproaching reading. Hungarian optative, imperative and reproaching sentences involve a MoodP below their topic projection. Their Mood head is merged with a projection having a matching modal feature: a NonNeutP with a… read more
Kiss, Katalin É. 2009 Negative quantifiers in HungarianApproaches to Hungarian: Volume 11: Papers from the 2007 New York Conference, Dikken, Marcel den and Robert M. Vago (eds.), pp. 65–94 | Article
This paper derives the properties of Hungarian se-pronouns from independently motivated assumptions, among them an adjunction theory of Q-raising allowing both left- and right-adjunction. Se-pronouns are identified as negative polarity quantifiers not conveying any negation, licensed by the… read more
