FUTURUM-EXACTUM: A VERB FORM OF WRITTEN VEPSIAN THAT IS NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN ITS DESCRIPTIONS

The article discusses the use of an analytical verb form of the linneb tehtud type in written Vepsian, that consists the 3 person singular form of the verb linneb ‘will’ and the passive past participle on -tud/-dud (in most cases) and is a calque from a similar Russian construction будет сделан (-a, -o). The relevance of the research is determined by the need to bring the information in the grammatical descriptions of the written Vepsian language in line with the real picture of the functioning of the Vepsian written norm, and to more accurately codify this idiom as written. The material is the texts in different styles originally written in Vepsian (journalistic) or translated into it (legal, artistic). The research confirms the hypothesis of the existence of an analytical verb form in the written Vepsian language that is not taken into account by grammatical descriptions, analyzes the detected examples of its use, and reveals the features of its structure and functioning against the background of closely related Finnic languages (Finnish, Votic, Ingrian). The article also discusses the place of this analytical form of written Vepsian among similar verb forms of Vepsian grammar and substantiates the non-identity of futurum-exactum to passive forms of the future tense ending in -škatas in the Vepsian language. It justifies the need for information about this verb form in future grammatical descriptions of the written Vepsian language.
