Description

Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - The great majority of Uralic languages have been in contact with Russian. Some, like Hungarian, Livonian and the southern and northern Saami languages, have had relatively little or no contact; others, like the eastern Finnic, Volgaic and Permic languages, have undergone strong Russian influence for many centuries. For most of the Uralic languages there are also monographs or longer articles dealing with the Russian loanwords of the literary or spoken language. Estonian, however, which has been in direct contact with East Slavic and Russian for over a thousand years, and had been part of the Soviet Union for some 50 years, has no such monograph a fact, which has been repeatedly bemoaned in the literature. The present work aims to fill this void for literary Estonian. ISBN 9783447057394
