Topic: Erzya language

	Thesis: Person in Erzya (myv)
		The Erzya language, also known as Erza or Erzia Mordvin, belongs to the Uralic language family and is spoken by approximately half a million people, who are mainly settled in the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation, i.e.
		The Erzya language, as a member of the Uralic language family and subclass Volgaic, is often overlooked in typological studies due to a dearth of extensive materials available.
		In Erzya, however, the absence of a present neutral copula verb and the variation between syntactic preterite I and morphological preterite II for representation of the copula person in the past are quite salient.

	Subject-Object versus Topic Agreement in Erzya (myv)
		The Erzya language is known for its complex person-agreement in both the function of predication and that found in the discourse participant/non-participant identification strategies of possession.
		Since the verb in Erzya represents the core of an event relation and the subject and object are seen as elements providing referential clarification for argument slots, it is necessary that this treatise of person agreement consider the referential essence of subjecthood and objecthood.
		The syntactic subject, the correlate of the subject-agreement marker on the verb in Erzya, is in the Nominative.

		They suggest that the move to force the paper's closure was taken in retaliation for articles it printed criticizing the local authorities for their reluctance to take any measures to prevent the Erzya language, which is designated a state language in the republic's constitution together with Russian, from dying out.
		The Erzya and Moksha languages, although related, are so different that speakers of one frequently have difficulty in understanding the other; Russian has become the lingua franca.
		But six years later, the Erzya addressed an appeal to the 10th World Finno-Ugric Congress in Yoshkar-Ola in which they said neither Erzya nor Moksha is taught any longer in urban schools, while rural schools are being closed down.

		Tacitus mentions another people known as the Fenni (probably Sami), living in close proximity to the Aesti; this could be an indication that the Aesti were forerunners of the Estonians rather than a linguistically Baltic people.
