    • A Constructicon for Russian: Filling in the Gaps 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Lyashevskaya, Olga; Nesset, Tore; Rakhilina, Ekaterina; Tyers, Francis Morton (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)
      The Russian Constructicon project currently prioritizes multi-word constructions that are not represented in dictionaries and that are especially useful for learners of Russian. The immediate goal is to identify constructions and determine the semantic constraints on their slots. The Russian Constructicon is being built in parallel with the Swedish Constructicon and will ultimately model the entire ...
    • Grammatical profiles and the interaction of the lexicon with aspect, tense and mood in Russian

    • Prefix variation as a challenge to Russian aspectual pairs : are завязнуть and увязнуть ‘get stuck’ the same or different? 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Lyashevskaya, Olga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Two key issues in Russian linguistics are the traditional assumptions that (a) the aspect system presents ‘pairs’ of verbs that are perfective vs. imperfective, and that (b) since the lexical meanings of the two verbs that form a pair are identical, the affix that marks aspect has no semantic content. In relation to prefixed perfectives, this approach can be called the Empty Prefix Hypothesis. The ...
    • Russian ‘purely aspectual’ prefixes: Not so ‘empty’ after all? 

      Endresen, Anna; Janda, Laura Alexis; Kuznetsova, Julia; Lyashevskaya, Olga; Makarova, Anastasia; Nesset, Tore; Sokolova, Svetlana (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 

      Endresen, Anna; Zhukova, Valentina; Mordashova, Daria; Rakhilina, Ekaterina; Lyashevskaya, Olga (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 ...
    • Semantic Profiles of Five Russian Prefixes: po-, s-, za-, na-, pro- 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Lyashevskaya, Olga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      We test the hypothesis that Russian verbal prefixes express meaning even when they are used to create a “purely aspectual” pair (“čistovidovaja para”). This is contrary to traditional assumptions that prefixes in this function are semantically “empty”. We analyze the semantic tags independently established in the Russian National Corpus (www.ruscorpora.ru) for 382 perfective partner verbs with five ...
