Abstract

Although it has long been known that Forest Enets borrowed two personal pronouns from its former neighbor Ket, this topic has remained comparatively unaddressed. As recent cross-linguistic research has shown, pronoun borrowing is typologically rare but not uncommon, though interestingly, the Forest Enets case differs radically from two other attested Eurasian examples, English and Romani in that other than personal pronouns, almost no other lexical borrowings from Yeniseian can be found. This article draws together earlier research on Northern Samoyedic pronominal systems and their unusual development in Enets and Nenets.
