Аннотация:This paper is devoted to complex postpositions in Permic languages(namely, in Udmurt and in Komi varieties). We argue that only morphologicalcomplexity is attested in most Permic idioms, i.e. most postpositions attach caseand possessive markers and/or their stems consist of two roots. However, postpositions in certain Udmurt dialects have the option of having nominal and pronominal dependents in the genitive, in addition to the nominative or unmarkedform. Postpositions in Komi varieties, both morphologically complex and morphologically simple, strongly prefer nominative marking of dependents. Komiand Udmurt are quite closely related, but have existed in different contact situations for quite some time. Therefore, it could be possible that the difference hasbeen partly induced by language contact, in particular, by Turkic influence, butthis hypothesis appeared not to be supported by the data.
