The papers in this volume describe and analyze an array of intriguing linguistic phenomena as they occur in the Saami languages, ranging from etymological
nativization of loanwords to the formation of deadjectival and denominal verbs. Saami displays a number of characteristics that are unusual from a
cross-linguistic perspective, including partial agreement on verbs, a three-way quantity distinction in consonants and spectacular consonant gradation.
The eight papers presented here approach these and other issues from diverse theoretical perspectives in morphology, phonology, and syntax. The volume
includes an extensive research bibliography which will be helpful for anyone interested in Saami linguistics.
