How to Assess Students Knowledge in the Age of AI

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.

Events, locations and situations: On the interaction of negation and finiteness in Avar

Linguistics in the Netherlands. 2015. Vol. 32. P. 142–154.
Rudnev P.

This paper documents a number of restrictions on negation marking in Avar, a Northeast Caucasian language, and presents a tentative analysis of the observed morphosyntactic facts as having a semantic basis. The two different negation markers are analysed, based on the proposal in (Ramchand & Svenonius 2014), as taking complements of a different semantic type.

Introducing Arguments: Samoyedic (Forest Nenets) Predestinative as a bundle of D and i*
Bubnov G., Типология морфосинтаксических параметров 2024 Vol. 7 No. 1 P. 13–34
This paper explores the predestinative category in Samoyedic languages, focusing on Forest Nenets. It examines the syntactic and semantic properties of predestinative forms, comparing them with nominal tense and low applicative. The study proposes a bundling hypothesis, suggesting that predestinative markers spell out a bundle of an argument-introducing i* head and the D head. This analysis explains the mixed ...

A Language Model for Grammatical Error Correction in L2 Russian
Remnev N., Obiedkov S., Rakhilina E. V. et al., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2023.
Grammatical error correction is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing. For the Russian language, most of the spellcheckers available correct typos and other simple errors with high accuracy, but often fail when faced with non-native (L2) writing, since the latter contains errors that are not typical for native speakers. In this paper, ...

Negative concord in fragments: Reexamining the evidence against the negativity of negation markers
Rudnev P., Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 2024 Vol. 9 No. 1 P. 1–21
I argue that particular restrictions on the recoverability of elided negation in fragment answers in negative-concord languages follow from the semantics of questions. Drawing parallels with other ellipsis phenomena, I also highlight the role of Agree in making certain elided heads recoverable. This invalidates a major argument against the analysis of negative-concord items as universal ...

Russian nibud'-indefinites and Neg-Raising
Denis Pisarenko, Типология морфосинтаксических параметров 2022 Vol. 5 No. 1 P. 72–90
This paper discusses the phenomenon of ambiguous interpretation of Russian nibud’-indefinites in Neg-Raising contexts. There are two major approaches to Neg-Raising: the syntactic approach which considers it an instance of the syntactic process of raising and the pragmatic approach which takes it as a result of pragma-semantic processes happening to NegRaising predicates. In this work ...

Perfective, performative and present: Some non-standard combinations in Slavic and beyond
Plungian V., Rakhilina E. V., Reznikova T., Russian Journal of Linguistics 2022 Vol. 26 No. 4 P. 1012–1030
The combination of perfective aspect and present tense is frequently considered as an example of semantically incompatible grams. If verbal forms including markers of both perfective aspect and present tense do exist in a language, they tend not to express present resp. perfective in the strict sense. Thus, in Russian such forms usually convey the ...

The study shows how the field of negation is organized, and how answering strategies differ in ...

The paper deals with the new way to express emphatic negation and the process of reinforcement of negation due to including new markers of double ...
