Description
Summary:This paper focuses on serial verbs, so-called the colorative constructions, in the Finnish and North Saami languages. These serial verbs consist of two two components. In Finnish an infinitive verb forms the head of the construction and a finite verb, dependent on the head, dramatizes or specifies the denotative meaning of the construction. In North Saami, both components are neutral finite verbs. The material for the study comes from North Saami and Finnish fiction that was published in 1979–1997: it comprises of texts from 18 authors in both languages. The study is qualitative and its main emphasis is on North Saami.
