Spor etter det samiske kasussystemet i indrefinnmarksmålet
Traces of the Sámi case system in the indrefinnmarksmål dialec

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the Norwegian dialect of the interior of Finnmark county. This is an area that has historically been closely linked to the Finno-Ugric population. The coexistence of Norwegian as a representative of the Indo-European languages and Sámi as a representative of the Uralic languages may have resulted in several specific features. The aim of this article is to identify those features related to the Sámi case system: occurrence of atypical prepositions and an unusual local perspective. In my analysis, I rely on data from the Nordic Dialect Corpus (Nordisk dialektkorpus) – an electronic database that contains records of authentic dialect conversations in various regions of Norway. The interior of the county of Finnmark is represented by three places: Kautokeino, Tana and Lakselv.
