Summary/Abstract: The studies of asymmetric types of differential object marking explain the distribution of DO types in terms of animacy, definiteness, information structure, and/or salience as defined in [de Swart 2007: 138]. We show that in Finno-Ugric languages the choice of the DO marking is partly based on the discourse model of the referential choice as described in [Givón 1983, Kibrik 2011]. The definite (or topical) DO may remain unmarked if its referent has a low rank in this model, while an indefinite (focused) DO may be marked if it has a high rank.
