Adapting a linguistic constructicon resource to L2 learners and instructors: a challenging endeavor
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-03)We present the challenges faced and decisions made in creating the Russian Constructicon (https://constructicon.github.io/russian/) as a multifunctional resource. We focus on two crucial categories of target users, linguists and L2 learners & instructors, and show that they have somewhat conflicting needs and expectations. While linguists want a maximally comprehensive inventory and its description, ... -
Allomorphy: Old Concept, Big Data, New Model
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2015-07)Many key concepts that modern linguistics operates with were first introduced in the Structuralist Era, the time when linguists believed in clear-cut oppositions and privative features and did not have access to large electronic corpora. Today, when we apply these Structuralist concepts to linguistic data, which is gradient in nature, we encounter a gap between the data and our theory. I argue that ... -

Construxercise! A new digital resource with construction-based exercises for L2 Russian
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-03)In this talk, we will discuss how we can bridge the gap between a constructicon resource and second language (L2) learners, drawing our insights from the actual practice of construction-based teaching. We suggest that having a constructicon resource, even with a user-friendly design, might not be enough to successfully engage L2 students with its content. We 1) summarize the accommodations for L2 ... -
Construxercise!: Implementation of a construction-based approach to language pedagogy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)We propose a construction-based approach to learning and teaching Russian as a second language (L2) and present an innovative pedagogical resource called Construxercise! Hands-on learning of Russian constructions (https://constructicon.github.io/construxercise-rus/) that implements this approach. The resource offers practical exercises for mastering Russian discourse constructions that are thoroughly ... -

Det russiske konstruktikonet: Hvordan vi bygger en database med syntaktiske konstruksjoner
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021-06)Et konstruktikon er et stort strukturert inventar av grundig beskrevete og illustrerte konstruksjoner (Lyngfelt et al. 2018). Slike allment tilgjengelige digitale databaser er viktige ressurser for både språkforskere og andrespråkstudenter, men foreløpig bygges det konstruktikon for et svært lite antall språk, inkludert svensk, tysk, spansk, brasiliansk portugisisk, koreansk, japansk og russisk. Vår ... -
Five statistical models for Likert-type experimental data on acceptability judgments
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2015-07-20)A study of marginal change-of-state verbs in Russian. Asking what is experimental Likert-type scale data. What statistical tests are appropriate: Parametric vs. Non-parametric? Including experimental design and research questions, and 5 statistical models for collected data: ANOVA, ordinal logistic regression, regression mixed-effects model, regression tree & Random forests, classification tree & ... -
From data to theory: An emergent semantic classification based on the large-scale Russian constructicon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)The semantic classification of over 2,200 constructions in the Russian Con- structicon has emerged objectively from empirical analysis. The resulting semantic classification comports with and goes beyond frame semantics, revealing complex patterns of related constructions verified against corpus data and by a panel of native speakers. Our model of a constructicon can inform and complement existing ... -
How ‘here’ and ‘now’ in Russian and English establish joint attention in TV news broadcasts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)This article presents a thorough investigation of the five Russian deictic words that correspond to the English meanings ‘here’ and ‘now’: zdes’, tut, sejčas, teper’ and vot. We analyze data from the Russian National Corpus and data from Russian TV news broadcasts. On the basis of the corpus data, we propose a radial category network consisting of nine subcategories, which encompass all five words, ... -
Lansering av en ny digital språk-ressurs for ukrainsk "Det ukrainske konstruktikonet" (The Ukrainian Constructicon)
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-08-14)Det ukrainske konstruktikonet er en forskningsbasert pedagogisk ressurs som tilbyr beskrivelser av de mest frekvente og typiske ukrainske setningsmønstre og frasemønstre. -
Making choices in Russian: pros and cons of statistical methods for rival forms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Sometimes languages present speakers with choices among rival forms, such as the Russian forms ostrič’ vs. obstrič’ ‘cut hair’ and proniknuv vs. pronikši ‘having penetrated’. The choice of a given form is often influenced by various considerations involving the meaning and the environment (syntax, morphology, phonology). Understanding the behavior of rival forms is crucial to understanding the ... -
Non-Standard Allomorphy in Russian Prefixes: Corpus, Experimental, and Statistical Exploration
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-01-16)This dissertation challenges the traditional idealized model of allomorphy by confronting it with comprehensive data on 15 Russian aspectual prefixes (RAZ-, RAS-, RAZO-, S-, SO-, PERE-, PRE-, VZ-, VOZ-, O-, OB-, OBO-, U-, VY-, IZ-) collected from corpus and linguistic experiments. The traditional definition narrows allomorphy down to a mere variation of form where the meaning remains constant and ... -

Prohibitive constructions in Russian: Families and clusters
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)In this study we explore the relationships of constructions in families and clusters. We examine fifty-seven multi-word Russian grammatical constructions that encode prohibitive semantics and model them as a radial category network that consists of two distinct clusters formed by eleven families of constructions. We show that each cluster of families is centered around a local prototype. The data ... -
Russian ‘purely aspectual’ prefixes: Not so ‘empty’ after all?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Nearly two thousand perfective verbs in Russian are formed via the addition of so-called “empty prefixes” (čistovidovye pristavki) to imperfective base verbs. The traditional assumption that prefixes are semantically “empty” when used to form aspectual pairs is problematic because the same prefixes are clearly “non-empty” when combined with other base verbs. Though some scholars have suspected that ... -
Russkij Konstruktion: Novyj lingvističeskij resurs, ego ustrojstvo i specifika
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)We present a new open-access electronic resource named the Russian Constructicon that offers a searchable database of Russian constructions accompanied by descriptions of their properties and illustrated with corpus examples. The project was carried out over the period 2016-2020 and at present contains an inventory of over 2200 multi-word constructions of Contemporary Standard Russian. We prioritize ... -
Taking Construction Grammar One Step Further: Families, Clusters, and Networks of Evaluative Constructions in Russian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-20)We present a case study of grammatical constructions and how their function in a single language (Russian) can be captured through semantic and syntactic classification. Since 2016 an on-going joint project of UiT The Arctic University of Norway and the National Research University Higher School of Economics in Moscow has been collecting and analyzing multiword grammatical constructions of Russian. ...
