Horizontal mapping of time-related words in first and second language
Scientific Reports. 2024. Vol. 14. No. 1. Article 9675.
The existence of a consistent horizontal spatial-conceptual mapping for words denoting time is a well-established phenomenon. For example, words related to the past or future (e.g., yesterday/tomorrow) facilitate respective leftward/rightward attentional shifts and responses, suggesting the visual-spatial grounding of temporal semantics, at least in the native language (L1). To examine whether similar horizontal bias also accompanies access to time-related words in a second language (L2), we tested 53 Russian-English (Experiment 1) and 48 German-English (Experiment 2) bilinguals, who classified randomly presented L1 and L2 time-related words as past- or future-related using left or right response keys. The predicted spatial congruency effect was registered in all tested languages and, furthermore, was positively associated with higher L2 proficiency in Experiment 2. Our findings (1) support the notion of horizontal spatial-conceptual mapping in diverse L1s, (2) demonstrate the existence of a similar spatial bias when processing temporal words in L2, and (3) show that the strength of time-space association in L2 may depend on individual L2 proficiency.

This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

Файзов Д., М.: Новое литературное обозрение, 2026.
Новая книга Д. Файзова пронизана голосами других поэтов. Речь не о расхожей постмодернистской центонности. Это микроинтертекстуальность на уровне конкретных слов и приемов, коллаж осколков чужих голосов, однако таких осколков, которые сохраняют способность отсылать к целому и к тому же вписаны — вклеены на манер аппликации — в узнаваемую интонацию самого поэта. Данил Файзов—поэт, культуртрегер, редактор. ...

This article examines the manuscript tradition of Kallistos Angelikoudes’ Hesychastic consolation, a fluid and complex corpus of thirty Logoi preserved primarily in Vat. gr. 736. The authors survey all known witnesses—including the autograph Barb. gr. 420, the Lond. Arund. 520, and several later copies—and analyze their textual relationships, variant readings, and codicological features. They demonstrate ...

The paper describes the construction litso takoy-to natsionalnosti ‘a person of such-and-such an ethnicity’ in Russian with its semantic and pragmatic characteristics. The purpose of the study is to trace the appearance of the construction and analyse how it is used and how it is perceived. Three expressions representing this construction are considered in more ...

In recent years, the researchers working on Uralic languages within Minimalism seem to have built a consensus on how to define the
position of negation in any language with a negative verb. The main and usually the only argument is based on the work [Mitchell 2006].
The argument is as follows: if the negative verb expresses tense, ...

This paper presents experimental evidence for the over-specification (redundant use) of Thai postnominal
numerals in referential communication. The first experiment reveals high rates of over-specification
in oral responses that include Thai postnominal and Russian prenominal numerals tested in a contrastive
multi-number visual context. The second experiment demonstrates lower but still relatively high
rates of over-specification in written responses that ...

Настоящая работа посвящена исследованию употреблений испанского глагола resultar ‘оказываться’ в рамках эвиденциального подхода и подхода возникновения нового знания, представленных в литературе. Согласно первому подходу, глагол resultar передает
инферентивное значение: субъект оценки делает умозаключение на основании наблюдаемых
результатов. Сторонники второго подхода считают основным компонентом семантики глагола
возникновение нового знания, а инферентивное значение объясняется воздействием других
элементов контекста. В работе каждый ...

The paper reports on an experimental study that reveals a difference
between two types of under-informative utterances with the quantifier “nekotoryj”
(‘some’) in Russian. The experiment was conducted as an inference task based on [Geurts,
Pouscoulous 2009; Val Tiel et al. 2016] with some modifications. The experiment
showed that both types of utterances more often have inference-based interpretations
rather than ...

The paper demonstrates that the Russian particle mol exhibits a combination of properties associated
with direct, indirect, and free indirect discourse (FID). First, mol-clauses license shiftable linguistic
items (adverbial indexicals, expressive speech acts, imperatives, evaluative lexical items) not
only in FID, as typically assumed for such linguistic items, but also in indirect discourse. Second,
first- and second-person pronouns in ...

The paper investigates Russian interrogatives and exclamatives with multiple wh-phrases based on two experiments, with additional support of the data from the Russian National Corpus. Since exclamatives are often viewed parallel to interrogatives, it is important to study both types of clauses with multiple wh-phrases alongside and to look for similarities and/or differences in their ...

Using syntactic embeddability diagnostics, the paper demonstrates that Russian wh-exclamatives
with the quotation particle mol and/or with the complementizer čto are embeddable and thus
contributes to the ongoing theoretical and cross-linguistic discussion of embedded wh-exclamatives
and their (in)subordination status. This analysis is applicable to rhetorical questions (with the quotation
particle mol and/or with the complementizer čto), which are traditionally ...

This study investigates the mental representation and processing of the two types of metaphorical senses in Russian polysemous verbs and adjectives using eye-tracking, sensicality judgment, and semantic clustering tasks. The metaphorical senses under study differ in their semantic proximity to the literal sense, with “proximal” metaphors (e.g. “raise prices”) retaining more semantic components, and “distal” ...

The proactive gain control hypothesis suggests that the global language context regulates lexical access to the bilinguals’ languages during reading. Specifically, with increasing exposure to non-target language cues, bilinguals adjust the lexical activation to allow non-target language access from the earliest word recognition stages. Using the invisible boundary paradigm, we examined the flow of lexical activation in ...

When we speak, selecting the right word takes longer whenever its semantic associates become active simultaneously. Although such semantic interference (SI) activates the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG), its lesions do not systematically increase SI induced by written word distractors. Therefore, whether the LIFG plays a causal role in resolving SI remains an open question. ...
