Abstract

Heinrich Werner, Die Diathese in den Jenissej-Sprachen aus typologischer Sicht. (Veröffentlichungen der Societas Uralo-Altaica 64.) Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2004, vii + 158 pages, ISBN 3-447-05122-1, EUR 44.

The Ket verb has presented linguists with a long-standing morphological puzzle. Comrie (1982) aptly remarked that descriptions available at the time did not provide even a basic knowledge of how to conjugate finite verbs in this language. Fortunately, that situation has improved thanks in large part to a wide-ranging treatment of Ket grammar produced by Heinrich Werner (1997), author of the present monograph.
