Finnish referative constructions and subordinate että clauses in the Bible translations 1548–2020, coded verses

Key words: literary language, Old Literary Finnish

The database contains information on the locations and distribution of the referative constructions and subordinate että clauses retrieved from the 1548 New Testament, as well as the verbs of their matrix clauses and their counterparts in more recent Bible translations. The database was collected and used by Niskanen & Priiki (2025) who tracked the development of these structures in written Finnish. The database can be useful in future studies of similar topics.
