    • In and Out of places, states and activities. 

      Tolskaya, Inna Konstantinovna (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2013)
      This paper explains the polysemy of Russian verbal prefixes through their position in the VP. The lexical entry remains constant throughout all the uses of a given prefix, while the structure into which a prefix is inserted varies.

    • Oroch vowel harmony 

      Tolskaya, Inna Konstantinovna (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-04-01)
      In this paper I examine vowel harmony in Oroch, a recently extinct Manchu-Tungusic language. Oroch vowels are subject to the interplay of retracted tongue root (RTR) harmony and rounding harmony. The two kinds of harmony have contrasting effects on neutral vowels. The front vowels /i/ and / æ/ are transparent to RTR harmony, while the vowels /i/, /æ/, /ʊ/ and /u/ are opaque to rounding harmony. ...

    • Unifying prepositions and prefixes in Russian : conceptual structure versus syntax 

      Tolskaya, Inna Konstantinovna (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-04-01)
      At first glance, the variety of possible denotations of a given prefix might appear a chaotic set of idiomatic meanings, e.g. the prefix `za-´ may refer to the beginning of an action, movement to a position behind an object, a brief deviation from a path, or completion of an action. I propose a unified analysis of prefixes, where the differences in meaning are claimed to arise from different ...

    • Verbal Prefixes: Selection and Interpretation 

      Tolskaya, Inna Konstantinovna (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-12-10)
      The striking polysemy of Russian verbal prefixes is a well known phenomenon. I show that there is a system to this chaos: prefix meaning is predictable from verbal structure and the prefixation mechanism is similar to that seen in English examples like outdo and overdo. In my analysis, lexico-syntactic structure plays an important role in explaining the selection and interpretation of prefixes. ...
