Road Injuries Leading Cause of Death Among Men Aged 10 to 39
Worldwide, road injuries are the leading cause of death among males aged 10–39. An international team of researchers reached this conclusion as part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023, analysing data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2023. Their findings have been published in The Lancet Public Health, with HSE University Professor Vasily Vlassov listed among the collaborators.

Интенсификатор "до ужаса" в русском языке на пути грамматикализации

Acta Linguistica Petropolitana. Труды института лингвистических исследований. 2016. Т. XII. № 1. С. 336–363.
Герасимов Д. В.

The paper presents a corpus-driven study of the Russian PP-based degree modifier do uzhasa (lit. ‘to horror’), suggesting a two-stage grammaticalization path. The first stage (presumably, XVIII–XIX c.) involves subjectification, while during the second stage, subjective readings give rise to intensifier readings through conceptual metonymy. Both stages see a host class expansion. This process is motivated by a complex interplay of factors, with analogy playing a major role. Finally, the evolution of do uzhasa is contrasted to that of the English PP-based intensifier to death. While there are obvious similarities, a closer look identifies a number of important differences that are relevant for the development of construction-based typology of language change.

This paper introduces an integration of Large Language Models with the Russian National Corpus via the Model Context Protocol. We developed an MCP server that acts as an intelligent adapter, abstracting the complexity of the RNC API and enabling models to independently formulate and execute lexico-grammatical searches. To evaluate this system, we conducted a case study using the ...

Неканонические имена белого духовенства в истории русского языка
Budennaya E., Русская речь 2026 Т. 4 С. 57–78
This study analyzes non-calendar and hypocoristic Christian names within the Russian white clergy. It identifi es two active periods of name formation using Slavic hypocoristic suffi xes: the 11th — 14th centuries (peaking in the 12th) and the 16th — 17th centuries. The fi rst period is tied to the general adoption of Christian names, where diminutive forms acted ...

Гипокористические имена на -ец- в древнерусском языке
Budennaya E., Slovĕne 2026 Т. 1 С. 31–67
The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of 11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) is one of the key episodes in the narratives of the Book of Genesis. In modern scholarship, various—often sharply divergent—datings of this pericope are proposed, as well as different interpretations of its place in the picture of the formation of the biblical text that was put ...

Like other narratives in the Book of Genesis, the story of Cain and Abel (Gen 4:1–16) has been studied and commented upon for more than two millennia. However, recent scholarship has introduced significant revisions to traditional interpretations. Over the past five years, several monumental commentaries on Genesis 1–11 have been published, offering new—and sometimes mutually ...

The article reconstructs the 'biography' of an alleged (in fact, non-existent) fragment of 4QDeutq said to contain a non-Masoretic reading of Deut 32 : 8. It traces how erroneous references to the fragment emerged during the preliminary publication of the Scrolls in the 1950s, the scholarly attention this fragment received, its eventual disappearance from Qumran studies after the official ...

The paper is devoted to the variable number marking in Shughni nouns and reports the results of corpus and experimental studies. In some languages, including Shughni, the marking of plural nouns is not compulsory. Many factors such as animacy, referentiality, morphological and semantic properties, or syntactic position may determine the presence or absence of number marking. The corpus study investigates ...

Nomos e poikilía dell'Essere. Genesi metafisica del molteplice. Una deduzione schellinghiana
Dezi A., Sesto San Giovanni: Mimesis, 2026.
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. ...

Agreement feature processing is one of the core issues of psycholinguistics.

The studies relied on different languages, used different constructions and different methods. The goal of ...

Сравнительная степень в тунгусо-маньчжурских языках
Гусев В. Ю., Аралова Н. Б., Языки и фольклор коренных народов Сибири 2025 № 2(54) С. 81–95
Рассматриваются формы сравнительной степени прилагательных, которые возникли в диалектахсеверных тунгусо-маньчжурских языков. Морфологическая сравнительная степень ‒ типологически довольно редкое явление, которое отсутствует, в том числе, в большинстве языков Сибири. Однако во многих диалектах эвенкийского, эвенского и негидальского языков эти формы появились, грамматикализовавшись в континентальных диалектах из селективного показателя, а в быстринском эвенском (Камчатка) ‒ из аттенуатива. ...

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...
