Ударение в камасинском и его ареальные параллели

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Kamasian stress. It analyzes the corpus of audio recordings by Klaudia Plotnikova. This corpus was created as part of the work of the Institute of Finno-Ugric Studies in Hamburg, which was headed by E. A. Helimski from 1997 to 2007. It has been compared with data from multiple sources, including the Kamasian dictionary from the archive of A.M. Sjögren, which was based on G. F. Miller's Samoyed dictionaries collected during expeditions of the first half of the XVIII century; archival materials on the Kamasian language recorded by M. A. Castrén in the first half of the XIX century, and the Kamasian dictionary by K. Donner, the material for which was collected in the first half of the XX century. Summing up the results of the analysis, it can be established that in the audio recordings of Klaudia Plotnikova, the place of stress depends on the Kamassian vowels of the first and second syllables. The following rule can be proposed:

— stress falls on the first syllable if it contains Kamasian vowels a, e, o, ö and the vowel of the second syllable is ǝ, i, or u;

— stress does not fall on the first syllable in all other cases.

It turned out that this rule fully corresponds to the position in which long vowels appear in the Khakas language, whose speakers assimilated the Kamasians.
