Abstract
In Standard Udmurt, the marking of direct objects is mostly influenced by their definiteness (referential properties), animacy and quantification. According to my field data, in Beserman the referential properties are most significant for the choice between the accusative and the non-marked form. This paper presents the results of a corpus study of direct object marking: it is aimed at revealing, how exactly animacy and referential properties interact in the algorithm of choosing direct object marking. For each value of both parameters different rules are formulated.
