(UUM ‣ ENG) Contrastive Grammar Evaluation

Using the ten sentences with all stems translated from the lexical transfer assignment, identify at least five differences between the two languages, trying to cover a range of phenomena (e.g., don't make everything about nouns).

Example 1 (Verb Pronoun Marking)

In Urum, verbs are agglutinative. In order to translate correctly into English, we need to create a pronoun from the case of the verb.

  • (uum) алйым → (eng) I find
    (uum) ал<v><tv><pres><p1><sg> → (eng) I<prn><subj><p1><m><sg>find<vblex><pres>
  • (uum) алйых → (eng) we find
    (uum) ал<v><tv><pres><p1><pl> → (eng) we<prn><subj><p1><mf><pl>find<vblex><pres>
  • (uum) алый → (eng) he finds
    (uum) ал<v><tv><pres><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><subj><p3><m><sg> find<vblex><pres>
  • (uum) алыйлар → (eng) they find
    (uum) ал<v><tv><pres><p3><pl> → (eng) they<prn><subj><p3><mf><pl>find<vblex><pres>

Example 2 (Verb Past-Tense)

In Urum, verbs are agglutinative. In order to translate correctly into English, we need to extract the past-tense tags/markers.

  • (uum) булду → (eng) he found
    (uum) бул<v><tv><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>find<vblex><past>
  • (uum) алды → (eng) he stayed
    (uum) ал<v><tv><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>stay<vblex><past>
  • (uum) кӧрдӱ → (eng) he saw
    (uum) кӧр<v><tv><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg> see<vblex><past>
  • (uum) хойду → (eng) he put
    (uum) хой<v><tv><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>put<vblex><past>

Example 3 (Verb Negativity)

In Urum, verbs are agglutinative. In order to translate correctly into English, we need to extract the negativity (in conjunction with past from the previous examples).

  • (uum) булмады → (eng) he did not find
    (uum) бул<v><tv><neg><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>did<vblex><past>not<adv> find<vblex><pres>
  • (uum) алмады → (eng) he did not stay
    (uum) ал<v><tv><neg><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>did<vblex><past>not<adv> stay<vblex><pres>
  • (uum) кӧрмеди → (eng) he did not see
    (uum) кӧр<v><tv><neg><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>did<vblex><past>not<adv> see<vblex><pres>
  • (uum) хоймады → (eng) he did not put
    (uum) хой<v><tv><neg><past><p3><sg> → (eng) he<prn><p3><m><sg>did<vblex><past>not<adv> put<vblex><pres>

Example 4 (Ablative Case)

In Urum, verbs are agglutinative. In order to translate correctly into English, we need to create a preposition from the case of the verb.

  • (uum) → (eng) (from) sky
    (uum) кӧк<n><abl> → (eng) from<pr>sky<n><sg>
  • (uum) → (eng) (from) market
    (uum) базар<n><abl> → (eng) from<pr>market<n><sg>
  • (uum) → (eng) (from) factory
    (uum) завот<n><abl> → (eng) from<pr>factory<n><sg>
  • (uum) → (eng) (from) village
    (uum) кӧй<n><abl> → (eng) from<pr>village<n><sg>

Example 5 (Locative Case)

In Urum, verbs are agglutinative. In order to translate correctly into English, we need to create a preposition from the case of the verb.

  • (uum) → (eng) (in) sky
    (uum) бахчы<n><loc> → (eng) in<pr>sky<n><sg>
  • (uum) → (eng) (at) market
    (uum) базар<n><loc> → (eng) at<pr>market<n><sg>
  • (uum) → (eng) (at) factory
    (uum) завот<n><loc> → (eng) at<pr>factory<n><sg>
  • (uum) → (eng) (at) village
    (uum) кӧй<n><loc> → (eng) at<pr>village<n><sg>
