The supine inessive construction in Salaca Livonian

Miina Norvik, Helle Metslang, Karl Pajusalu, 2018

It suggests that the usages of the supine inessive form reveal both language-internal development as well as instances of contact-induced development, more precisely reanalysis of Latvian forms with a similar function and / or form.
