On entend ici par typologie contrastive une approche typologique fondee sur la mise en contraste des structures de deux ou plusieurs langues, y compris des langues de la meme famille linguistique, afin d’explorer des proprietes a la fois specifiques et universelles. De ce point de vue, le hongrois et le mordve s’averent particulierement pertinents en termes de structuration des systemes de marques pronominales, en raison de proprietes morphologiques caracteristiques de l’ouralien central et oriental, tels que l’existence d’une double conjugaison (subjective et objective, voire « objective definie », en mordve), qui induit des series allomorphiques complexes, tout en suivant des principes reducteurs universels (syncretisme, sous-specification et surspecification de certaines marques ou conditions de marquage morphonologique). Cette these comprend neuf chapitres, distribues sur trois volets. Le premier volet decrit les structures et les etapes de la modelisation des systemes pronominaux dans les deux langues. Dans le premier chapitre, nous presentons des generalites historiques et structurales du hongrois et du mordve erzya, ainsi que la place que ces langues occupent parmi les langues finno-ougriennes, du point de vue de la classification et de la typologie. Une serie de particularites importantes pour la comprehension des deux systemes, en termes d’organisation structurale, concerne les proprietes allomorphiques des unites fonctionnelles et relationnelles de type pronominal, telles que l’harmonie vocalique, les suffixes casuels, le systeme verbal, et l’ordre des mots. Le deuxieme chapitre concerne le lien entre les pronoms personnels et des categories grammaticales fondamentales telles qu’animacite, nombre, personne, definitude, et aboutit a la conclusion que c’est le pronom personnel qui est particulierement marque par ces categories grammaticales – les memes qui peuvent avoir, dans les langues du monde, une incidence sur la construction ou l’organisation des systemes de classes flexionnelles. Le troisieme chapitre presente une approche historiographique du hongrois et du mordve erzya; le quatrieme chapitre propose une reanalyse de la flexion pronominale erzya, en suivant les memes principes que ceux jadis preconises par Andras Kornai dans son analyse du systeme de la flexion nominale du hongrois (Kornai 1994), dans la mesure ou ce modele morphologique traite l’affixation comme une operation sur des traits combines. Le deuxieme volet de cette recherche developpe des etudes de cas exploratoires dans une perspective de TAL : un corpus d’erzya litteraire et un corpus d’erzya biblique sont analyses contrastivement en suivant les demarches et le parametrage requis par le logiciel Trameur. Le troisieme volet sort de l’analyse des registres stylistiques au sein d’une langue donnee pour revenir a une typologie contrastive structurale hongrois-mordve. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous proposons une synthese de ces deux aspects de la typologie contrastive : contrastes de registres intralangue, contraste de structures interlangues, en fonction d’un ensemble de parametres partages. La synergie entre la methode lexicometrique et la typologie generale constitue l’un des principaux apports heuristiques de cette these, dont le but est de developper une typologie des langues finno-ougriennes qui tienne davantage compte de la contrastivite des structures et de leur relativisme que des grands traits categoriels interlangues, davantage sujets aux biais empiriques et methodologiques que peuvent receler les grands corpus.

Please check back later for the full article.Uralic languages are synthetic, agglutinative languages, overwhelmingly suffixing, and they have a rich inflectional morphology in both the nominal and the verbal domain. The Uralic family includes about 30 languages spoken in Europe and in North Eurasia and can be divided in two branches: Finno-Ugric and Samoyed languages. The differentiation of the branches and subgroups is very significant; thus, these general morphological features show a notable variation.Agglutinating is a general feature, but there are some synchretisms, fusions, and suppletions, and all languages have postpositions beside suffixes.Nouns and pronouns are inflected for number (singular, plural, and in some languages dual), person, and case but not for gender.

The Uralic family includes about 30 languages spoken in Europe and in North Eurasia and is traditionally divided into two branches: Finno-Ugric and Samoyed languages. The separation of the branches and subgroups is very distant in time; thus, these general morphological features show a notable variation. Agglutinating is a general feature but there are some syncretisms, fusions, and suppletions and all languages have postpositions beside suffixes and some of them have prepositions. Nouns and pronouns are inflected for number (singular, plural, and in some languages for dual), person, and case but not for gender. All Uralic languages have a case system. However, the number and the nature of the cases show a great variety: from 3 to 18 cases including grammatical cases (nominative, accusative, and genitive) and other spatial and non-spatial cases. A characteristic feature of these languages is the tripartite location system. The system of personal possessive markers is particularly interesting: the person and the number of the possessor and the number of the item possessed can be marked by suffixes. Combining the expression of possession and case, the morphotactic rules differ between the languages. Comparative and superlative adjectives can be also formed by inflection. Verbs are inflected for person/number, tense, and mood. Uralic languages generally do not have the canonical passive voice. A characteristic feature of Ugric languages is the double conjugation of transitive verbs depending on the definiteness of the direct object. As verbal aspect is not an inflectional category, certain languages use a rich system of preverbs or derivational suffixes to express aspect and Aktionsart.
