Continuity and change in Eastern Khanty language and worldview

Abstract

Materials presented in this chapter were collected by Peter Jordan during several periods of fieldwork conducted between 1997 and 2004. Financial support was provided by the British Academy, the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Hossein Farmy Trust at the University of Sheffield. The material that is used by Andre Filtchenko in this publication was collected over the course of eight field projects with the support of OSI Budapest IPF 1999 Fellowship, and Rice University Presidential Fellowship 2000-2004, Yale ELF and UK FEL 2003-2004, British Academy 2004, and NSF 2004. Both of us would like to express our sincere thanks to all people with whom we worked and to those who gave us valuable practical assistance during our fieldwork.
