Ever since its establishment, the Society has striven to advance research into the Uralic and so-called Altaic languages, the ethnography of their speakers, and the historical and pre-histori- cal past of speakers of these languages. The main events of the jubilee year took place on November 15th, the day of the founding of the Society, and on Decem- ber 2nd, the traditional day of the Annual General Meeting of the Society. This volume contains ten papers, eight of which were presented at the quasquicentennial symposium “Suomalais-ugrilaisen kieliyhteisön verkosto” (‘The network of the Finno-Ugric language community’) held in the Small Hall of the University of Helsinki on December 2nd, 2008. In accordance with the title of the symposium, many of the papers present various aspects on the mul- tifaceted networks observable in Uralic research. This is made most explicit by Johanna Laakso in her observations on the sociology and history of network- ing within Uralistics in general, by Márta Csepregi in her review of the his- tory and the sociolinguistic subject matter of Ob-Ugric studies, as well as by Anneli Sarhimaa in her paper on the prospects for Finnic, especially Karelian, sociolinguistics. Other branches of the Uralic language family and their study are repre- sented by Karl Pajusalu’s and Yölgin' (Yevgeniy) Tsypanov’s up-to-date over- views of the contemporary situation and the recent history of the Southern Finnic and Permic languages. More detailed perspectives on the ever-growing number of sub-disciplines in Uralic studies are provided by M.M.Jocelyne Fernandez- Vest’s paper on the change of information structuring in North Saami, one of the many Uralic languages that are gradually replacing their primarily oral features with those more typical of languages with established literary traditions. On the other hand, some of the more traditional issues in historical linguistics are considered by Juha Janhunen in his endeavour to determine the date and loca- tion of the Uralic proto-language on the Eurasian linguistic map, as well as by Janne Saarikivi in his etymology-centred survey of contacts between Finnic and Slavic. The eight symposium papers—mainly representing the contemporary ac- tivities of present-day Finno-Ugrian Society—are complemented by two sur- veys of the history of the Society. Timo Salminen’s article on the history and role of the Finno-Ugrian Society in relation to Russia is based on a paper pre- sented at the Finno-Ugrian Society on November 21st, 2008, as well as his recent history of the Society. Finally, the volume ends with the speech delivered by 8 PREFACE Seppo Suhonen at the quasquicentennial banquet of the Finno-Ugrian Society on December 2nd, 2008, which depicts the 113 founders of the Society with an emphasis on their diverse roles in the academic, administrative and commercial life of Finnish society at that time. It is also worthy of note that, in common with the long tradition of pub- lishing translated samples of all languages that are within the sphere of inter- est of the Finno-Ugrian Society, the present volume also offers students and re searchers of Komi and Finnish the possibility of thus utilising the parallel texts of Yölgin' Tsypanov’s paper published both in the original Komi and as a Finnish translation. The editor hopes that this book will provide representative glimpses of the vast and variegated field of Uralistics as practiced on the verge of the sixth quarter-century of the Finno-Ugrian Society.

Márta CSEPREGI (Budapest) The very highly connected nodes in the Ob-Ugrian networks 1. Introduction Physicist Albert-László Barabási who was born in Transylvania and educated in Hungary now works in New York. In 2002 he published a book entitled Linked (Barabási 2002a) which has since been reprinted in English several times. Up to the present (2008) this book has been translated into thirteen languages, in- cluding Finnish and Hungarian (Barabási 2002b and 2008, respectively). While studying computer networks, Barabási and his colleagues accidentally discov- ered that natural and social networks do not behave in the same way as net- works in mathematics. While connections between nodes in the latter emerge randomly, the stronger nodes of natural and social networks by virtue of having more connections are capable of better facilitating connections. Like the World Wide Web almost all complex networks of the most varying types of systems from biochemical processes to social relations behave in this way. The results of Barabási’s research re-established the study of networks through which the concept of the “very highly connected node” has become widely accepted. More- over, the title of this paper, which reflects my aims, has been taken from his re- search: to draw a picture of the multifarious, multi-dimensional and interrelated connections between both the Ob-Ugrian peoples and the investigation of these along the axes of time and space. According to Barabási the fewer the connections between individual mem- bers of networks, the more vulnerable the networks in question are. The lesson from the 150-year-old history of Ob-Ugrian studies is that international research has played a crucial role in the survival of the Khanty and Mansi peoples. Al- though it is self-evident that there is a great need for improving the internal relations between the Khanty and Mansi communities themselves, there is also an equally great need for strengthening ties between native speakers and foreign students and researchers of these languages and cultures. The influence of an outside internationally known charismatic personality or a vigorous student may have lasting consequences, sometimes for decades, with regard to the revival and strengthening of a given community.

Helsinki 2009. 9–32. 10 MÁRTA CSEPREGI The narrow framework of this paper does not allow me to offer a full de- scription of Ob-Ugrian studies. Instead, I would like my paper to be considered only as a case study: by presenting one characteristic or another aiming at the very highly connected nodes in an intricate network, I would like to relate the history of the study of the Ob-Ugrian peoples and languages, as well as provide a description of their present state. Among these nodes there are institutions, individuals (native and foreign) and also publications. 2. Societies, schools and workshops for scholarly studies 2.1. The Finno-Ugrian Society First I would like to mention the 125-year-old Finno-Ugrian Society whose field of study goes far beyond the Ob-Ugrian linguistic area. Aided by the financial support of this Society two scholars, Kustaa Fredrik Karjalainen and Artturi Kannisto, resided in the Ob region for several years, living with these people while recording and collecting a large amount of lexical and grammatical data, texts and folklore material. K. F. Karjalainen spent four years (1898–1902) among the Khantys, whereas A. Kannisto travelled all over the land of the Mansis sur- veying every single dialect of this language on an expedition that lasted five years (1901–1906). About the same time (1898–1900) U. T. Sirelius made a trip along the River Ob engaging in ethnographical research. The research work con- ducted by these scholars was closely connected to the studies of the true pioneers of this profession, their predecessors, M. A. Castrén and August Ahlqvist and their contemporaries. Meanwhile, in 1900–1901 Heikki Paasonen also spent ten months among the Khantys of Konda and Surgut thanks to a scholarship from the University of Helsinki.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery 1 Christ vs. Communism: Communism as a Religious Social Problem in Finland’s Proto- Fascist Lapua Movement in the 1930s SAMI KOSKELAINEN AND TITUS HJELM1 Abstract This article traces the emergence of religious anti-communist discourse in Finland’s proto-fascist Lapua Movement in the 1930s. Applying constructionist social problems theory, it discusses the constructions of communism as a religious social problem, Christian piety as a solution to the problem of godless communism, and the religious legitimation of violence. The article argues that by identifying Christianity with the Finnish nation the construction of communism as a religious problem—itself an outcome of the influence of revivalist Lutheran ministers in the leadership of the movement—resonated with the broader audience, but that this indigenous religious nationalism lost support with the increasing belligerence of the movement. At the end of the 1920s Finland was a divided country. The Civil War of 1918, fought between the socialist “Reds” and the bourgeois and agrarian “Whites” in the aftermath of independence from (now Bolshevik) Russia, was a cultural trauma on par with the Spanish Civil War.1 The proportional death toll in the repression of the defeated Reds exceeded that of all other European civil conflicts in the inter-war era.2 Yet, despite the victory and the official banning of the Communist Party, some factions on the White side saw the re-emergence and 1 Sami Koskelainen has a Bachelor of Arts from University College London, School of Slavonic and East European Studies.

  • VALTS ERNÇSTREITS (Riga) LIVONIAN ORTHOGRAPHY Introduction the Livonian Language Has Been Extensively Written for About
    Linguistica Uralica XLIII 2007 1 VALTS ERNÇSTREITS (Riga) LIVONIAN ORTHOGRAPHY Abstract. This article deals with the development of Livonian written language and the related matters starting from the publication of first Livonian books until present day. In total four different spelling systems have been used in Livonian publications. The first books in Livonian appeared in 1863 using phonetic transcription. In 1880, the Gospel of Matthew was published in Eastern and Western Livonian dialects and used Gothic script and a spelling system similar to old Latvian orthography. In 1920, an East Livonian written standard was established by the simplification of the Finno-Ugric phonetic transcription. Later, elements of Latvian orthography, and after 1931 also West Livonian characteristics, were added. Starting from the 1970s and due to a considerable decrease in the number of Livonian mother tongue speakers in the second half of the 20th century the orthography was modified to be even more phonetic in the interest of those who did not speak the language. Additionally, in the 1930s, a spelling system which was better suited for conveying certain phonetic phenomena than the usual standard was used in two books but did not find any wider usage. Keywords: Livonian, standard language, orthography. Introduction The Livonian language has been extensively written for about 150 years by linguists who have been noting down examples of the language as well as the Livonians themselves when publishing different materials. The prime consideration for both of these groups has been how to best represent the Livonian language in the written form. The area of interest for the linguists has been the written representation of the language with maximal phonetic precision.

Pedersen, V. M. Illič-Svityč, J. H. Greenberg, A. R. Bomhard, K. H. Menges, V. Blažek, A. B. Dolgopol’skij). The author gives an overview on their attempts of different quality to relate the Yukaghir languages with the Nostratic family and sketches some omnicomparativists’ hypothesises on macro-families such as “Uralo-Yukaghir” or “Eurasiatic”. 1. Einleitung Daß der Titel des vorliegenden Beitrages den Leser zunächst etwas befremden dürfte, ist vom Vf. durchaus beabsichtigt, erweckt er doch den Anschein, als entspräche es der Intention des Autors, die Zugehörigkeit der jukagirischen Sprachen (Tundra- Jukagirisch, Kolyma-Jukagirisch, Omokisch u. Čuvanisch) zu den nostratischen Sprachen zu postulieren. Würde ein solcher Versuch auf Anhieb einigermaßen grotesk erscheinen, so ist doch anzumerken, daß eine Reihe von Nostratikern, dies ernsthaft in Erwägung ziehen, und entsprechende Überlegungen durchaus immer wieder Befürworter finden. Auch sind entsprechende Versuche keineswegs neu und, bezieht man die Spekulationen hinsichtlich der sogenannten „Uralo-Jukagirischen“ 172 MICHAEL KNÜPPEL Hypothese1 in die Betrachtungen ein, sogar folgerichtig (wird das Proto-Uralische von den Nostratikern doch als eine „Tochtersprache“ des [Proto-]Nostratischen angesehen). Inzwischen ist eine ganze Reihe von Arbeiten, in denen auch die jukagi- rischen Befunde für diverse [Re-]Konstruktionen berücksichtigt wurden, erschienen.
