Abstract: In this paper, I describe and analyze several types of nonverbal predication in Chukchi. Following [Matushansky 2008, 2010], I assume that Case is a realization of bundle formed by percolation of features assigned by different heads above the terminal node and explain the equative/absolutive variation in case marking pattern observed in Chukchi nominal predication by feature percolation. The analysis of nominal predicational constructions is then extended to account for peculiar properties of adjectival predication
