Английская Википедия:Central Siberian Yupik language
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox language
Central Siberian Yupik,[1][2] (also known as Siberian Yupik, Bering Strait YupikШаблон:Citation needed, YuitШаблон:Citation needed, YoitШаблон:Citation needed, "St. Lawrence Island Yupik",[3][4] and in Russia "Chaplinski Yupik" or YukШаблон:Citation needed) is an endangered Yupik language spoken by the Indigenous Siberian Yupik people along the coast of Chukotka in the Russian Far East and in the villages of Savoonga and Gambell on St. Lawrence Island. The language is part of the Eskimo-Aleut language family.
In the USA, the Alaska Native Language Center identified about 400-750 Yupigestun speakers, considering “dormant speakers” who understand but cannot converse.[5] In Russia in 2021, 172 people indicated that they speak the language, while only 92 of them use it in everyday life.[6] Thus, the total number of speakers is no more than 550-900 people.
Dialects and subgroups
Siberian Yupik has two dialects: Chaplino (Chaplinski) Yupik (Uŋazigmit) is spoken on the shores of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the Russian Far North, and St. Lawrence Island Yupik (Sivuqaghmiistun) is spoken on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.
Chaplino, or Uŋazigmit, is the largest Yupik language of Siberia (the second one is Naukan Yupik), and is named after the settlement of Уӈазиӄ (Ungaziq; Шаблон:Ill or Old Chaplino in Russian). The word Ungazighmii / Уңазиӷмӣ[7][8] Шаблон:IPA (plural Ungazighmiit / Уңазиӷмӣт Шаблон:IPA[9][10]) means "Ungaziq inhabitant(s)". People speaking this language live in several settlements in the southeastern Chukchi Peninsula[11] (including Novoye Chaplino, Provideniya, and Sireniki), Uelkal, Wrangel Island,[10] and Anadyr.[12] The majority of Chaplino Yupik speakers live in the villages of Novoye Chaplino and Sireniki. In another terminology, these people speak Chaplino, and Ungazighmiit people speak one of its dialects, along with other dialects spoken by Avatmit, Imtugmit, Kigwagmit, which can be divided further into even smaller dialects.[11]
The second dialect, St. Lawrence Island Yupik, is believed to be an offspring of Chaplino with only minor phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactical and lexical differences, and the two dialects are virtually identical.[13]
Phonology
Consonants
Unlike the Central Alaskan Yupik languages, Siberian Yupik has a series of retroflex fricatives, more similar to the Alaskan Inuit dialects.

Morphosyntax
Morphosyntax is the study of grammatical categories or linguistic units that have both morphological and syntactic properties. Central Siberian Yupik’s structure most resembles this category. In addition, CSY can be described as using both internal and external syntax. Internal syntax is used here to describe the way that postbases are added to a base or added to one another, contrasted with external syntax, which refers to the order of independent words.[14]
Central Siberian Yupik is a polysynthetic language, meaning it is made up of long, structured words containing many separate meaningful parts (morphemes). In fact, a single word can be an entire sentence. CSY is also an ergative-absolutive language, in contrast to the nominative-accusative structure of English and many Indo-European languages.
Most Siberian Yupik words consist of a "base" or "stem", followed by zero or more "postbases", followed by one "ending", followed by zero or more "enclitics":[15]
Generally, the “base” or “stem” contains the root meaning of the word , while the “postbases,” which are suffixing morphemes, provide additional components of the sentence (see example above). As shown, postbases include items with adjectival and verbal qualities, among other elements. The “ending” (Woodbury’s term) is an inflectional suffix to the right of the postbase that contains grammatical information such as number, person, case, or mood.[16] Enclitics are bound suffixes that follow the inflectional ending of a word. An attached enclitic affects the meaning of the entire sentence, not just the element to which it is attached. The exception is the enclitic ‘llu,’ shown above, which has a basic meaning of ‘and.’[17]
Bases
The base forms the lexical core of the word and belongs to one of three main classes: noun bases, verb bases and particle bases.[18]
- Noun bases (N)
- Ordinary noun bases (intransitive, transitive)
- Independent pronoun bases (intransitive)
- Demonstrative bases (D) (intransitive)
- Adjectival noun bases
- Inflecting as ordinary noun bases (intransitive, transitive)
- Independent relative bases
- Quantificational bases (Q)
- Numeral (NM) bases: cardinal (intransitive); ordinal (transitive)
- Specifier (SP) bases: cardinal (intransitive); partitive (transitive)
- Locational bases
- Demonstrative adverb (DA) bases (intransitive)
- Positional (PS) bases (transitive)
- Temporal bases
- Temporal noun bases (intransitive, transitive)
- Temporal particle bases
- Verb bases (V)
- Exclusively intransitive (Vi)
- Exclusively transitive (Vt)
- Ambivalent
- Particles
- Independent particles
- Sentence particles
- Phrasal participles
- Enclitics
Noun endings indicate number (singular, dual, or plural), case, and whether or not the noun is possessed. If the noun is possessed, the ending indicates the number and person of the possessor. Siberian Yupik has seven noun cases:
- absolutive
- relative (ergative-genitive)
- ablative-modalis
- localis
- terminalis
- vialis
- aequalis
Absolutive Case Noun Endings
As in other ergative-absolutive languages, absolutive case is used to mark nouns that are generally the subjects of intransitive verbs or the objects of transitive verbs.

The endings of the locative and terminative cases are the same as those of the ablative case except that the locative case has -mi and -ni and the terminative case has -mun and -nun in place of the -meng and -neng at the end of the ablative case endings.
Prolative Case Noun Endings
In grammar, the prolative case, also called the vialis case, is a grammatical case of a noun or pronoun that expresses motion by the referent of the noun it marks.

Postbases
Derivation is accomplished in CSY by attaching suffixes called postbases. Productivity in the context of CSY is defined as the free addition of a postbase to any base without an unpredictable semantic result; non-productivity implies that said postbases cannot combine freely but are limited to attaching to only a particular set of bases.[16] Postbases are either nominal or verbal and select nominal or verbal bases or expanded bases to attach to (an expanded base is a base followed by one or more postbases). There are four kinds of postbases:[18]
- VN: postbases deriving nouns from verbs
- NV: postbases deriving verbs from nouns
- NN: postbases constructing complex nouns
- VV: postbases constructing complex verbs
These postbases can indicate a wide variety of meaning, including:[18]
For nouns:
- quantification,
- adjectival modification,
- being and becoming,
- a type of verbal noun-incorporation
For verbs:
- changes in transitivity,
- adverbial modification,
- evidentially,
- negation,
- tense,
- agent noun formation,
- relative clause formation,
- various types of verbal complementation
It is estimated that CSY has approximately 547 postbases: 75 NN, 55 NV, 30 VN, and 387 VV. It appears that in CSY the large majority of NN, NV, and VN postbases are productive; for the VV postbases, there are approximately 190 non-productive ones and 197 productive ones.[16]
Characteristics of polysynthetic postbases
There are no clear morphological position classes in CSY.[19] A position class is the organization of morphemes or a morpheme class into a linear ordering with no apparent connection to syntactic, semantic, or phonological representation.[20] In the example below, it is semantic restrictions that dictate the order.[19]
Some postbases can be used recursively, as in the example below.[19]
Recursion can also be used for emphasis.[21]
There is variability in postbase ordering with no change in semantic outcome.[19]
Abbreviations: V, verb; PST, past tense; FRUSTR, frustrative (‘but . . ., in vain’); INFER, inferential evidential (often translatable as ‘it turns out’); INDIC, indicative; 3S3S, third-person subject acting on third-person object): (de Reuse 2006) Note: postbases noted in bold.
<section begin="list-of-glossing-abbreviations"/>
<section end="list-of-glossing-abbreviations"/>
Note: there is a general rule in CSY of semantic scope in which the rightmost postbase will have scope over the left. However, there are many exceptions, as in the example above.[19]
Enclitics
Following are a brief list and description of enclitics in CSY. The table is recreated from de Reuse (1988).[22]
- Шаблон:Lang: modal function, interrogative
- Шаблон:Lang: modal function, optative
- Шаблон:Lang: modal function, exhortative or exclamative
- Шаблон:Lang: evidential function
- Шаблон:Lang: focus marking or conjunction
- Шаблон:Lang: can be interrogative; sometimes marks a perlocutionary act
- Шаблон:Lang: mark illocutionary acts
- Шаблон:Lang: mark the “presupposition that the hearer is unaware that the speaker lacks crucial information”
- Шаблон:Lang: shifts the attention of the hearer
| 1st Position | 2nd Position | 3rd Position | 4th position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Шаблон:Lang | Шаблон:Lang | ||
| Шаблон:Lang | |||
| Шаблон:Lang | Шаблон:Lang | Шаблон:Lang | |
| Шаблон:Lang | |||
| Шаблон:Lang | |||
| Шаблон:Lang | |||
Note: the ‘position’ references above refer to the position of the postbase following the main base.
Other Eskimo languages spoken in Chukotka
Other Yupik languages
Naukan, or Nuvuqaghmiistun, the second largest Yupik language spoken in Chukotka, is spoken in settlements including Uelen, Lorino, Lavrentiya, and Provideniya.[12]
Debated classifications
Additionally, the Sireniki Eskimo language, locally called Uqeghllistun, was an Eskimo language once spoken in Chukotka. It had many peculiarities. Sometimes it is classified as not belonging to the Yupik branch at all, thus forming (by itself) a stand-alone third branch of the Eskimo languages (alongside Inuit and Yupik).[11][23] Its peculiarities may be the result of a supposed long isolation from other Eskimo groups in the past.[24]
Sireniki became extinct in early January 1997.[11][23][25]
