Materials on Forest Enets, an Indigenous Language of Northern Siberia

Materials on Forest Enets is the first comprehensive and functional-typologically informed description of a Samoyedic language. It covers all major aspects of the grammar of Forest Enets as spoken by its last fluent speakers in Potapovo and Dudinka. The monograph is based almost entirely on primary data, which was either collected during several fieldtrips on the Taimyr Peninsula or via consultant work, both conducted between 2006 and 2011. Materials on Forest Enets discusses the language of the last speakers from a general perspective presenting all data fully glossed; thereby, the monograph will also be comprehensible to linguists not specializing on Samoyedic languages.
