Russian Pronouns with Focus Antecedents: Coreference and Binding in Corpora
Компьютерная лингвистика и интеллектуальные технологии. 2026. No. 24. P. 656–665.
Tiskin D.
Despite a lot of interest for the factors influencing the choice of pronoun (reflexive or personal) with an antecedent in Russian, the role of the anaphotic relation—coreference or semantic binding—has been understudied, including disagreements as to the acceptability of particular data points. To clarify things, I employ large corpora (Araneum and GICR) to study the role of several factors in determining the likelihood of the pronoun being used as coreferential or bound: pronoun type (reflexive/personal), pronominal morphology (nominal/adjectival), syntactic distance to the antecedent as well as word order (cf. (Wurmbrand 2017) for German pronominals). I conclude that Russian reflexives are capable of, and frequently used with, coreferential interpretation (and more so when preposed to the antecedent) and that Russian 1st- and 2nd-person pronouns can be used as bound (i.e. as fake indexicals) when postposed.

The article presents a lexico-typological description of the verbs of change in Karelian within a frame-based approach. The data was gained from dictionaries and corpora or elicited from native speakers, including bilinguals with Finnish.
To reveal cross-linguistic influence, Karelian data is compared to Finnish within seven frames: Modification, Switching, Non-referential replacement, Referential replacement, Substitution, Compensation, and Exchange. As a ...

This study examines the most numerous type of construction presented in the Russian Constructicon, namely intensifiers. We studied intensifiers in the context of comparative constructions of inequality like Х bol’še Y‘X is bigger than Y’ –> Х gorazdo bol’še Y‘X is much bigger than Y’. Comparative constructions and intensifiers are usually studied separately since they ...

Abstract: The subject of this study is eschatology as a media construct in the contemporary communicative space. This theoretical analysis encompasses the linguistic, narrative, and visual mechanisms through which eschatological motifs migrate from religious discourse to the secular information field, where they are reinterpreted and adapted to the logic of modern media. Particular attention is paid ...

Although epistemic stance in academic discourse has been extensively researched
in linguistics, relatively little is known about diachronic change and variation in its expression
across disciplines, and still less about the grant proposal abstract, a genre produced under strong

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of discriminative methods for abbreviation lemmatization in Russian texts. Unlike generative approaches, discriminative models select the optimal lemma from a fixed set of candidates, eliminating the risk of generating grammatically incorrect word forms. For the first time in Russian language processing, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of ...

Pre-trained language models have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), particularly in analyzing languages with complex morphological structures. This study addresses lemmatization for the Russian language, the errors in which can critically affect the performance of information retrieval, question answering, and other tasks.

This paper addresses the task of lemmatizing abbreviations in the Russian language. Abbreviation lemmatization is particularly challenging, as it involves not only transforming a word into its normal form but also correctly expanding the abbreviation. We explore two approaches to this task, both leveraging large pretrained language models. The first approach is generative, where the ...

There are several rival theories of fake indexicals, i.e. bound indexicals (prominently pronouns) whose φ-features do not semantically contribute to focus alternatives (e.g. Only Mary did her homework, John didn’t do his). According to Minimal Pronoun theories (such as Kratzer’s or Wurmbrand’s), bound pronouns are Merged without φ-features and acquire them under binding via agreement-like ...
