Linearization constraints on sentential negation in Russian Sign Language are prosodic
Sign Language & Linguistics. 2021. Vol. 24. No. 2. P. 259-273.
Rudnev P., Anna Kuznetsova
This short remark documents exceptions to the main strategy of expressing sentential negation in Russian Sign Language (RSL). The postverbal sentential negation particle in RSL inverts the basic SVO order characteristic of the language turning it into SOV (Pasalskaya 2018a). We show that this reversal requirement under negation is not absolute and does not apply to prosodically heavy object NPs. The resulting picture accords well with the view of RSL word order layed out by Kimmelman (2012) and supports a model of grammar where syntactic computation has access to phonological information (Kremers 2014; Bruening 2019).

In natural language, negative concord (NC) describes a pattern in which a negative marking appears on multiple morphological items but a single negation is interpreted. For sign languages, Pfau (2016) argues that negative non-manuals can be seen as instances of negative concord; in RSL, for example, headshake can only appear in negative sentences. Nevertheless, manual ...

This work aims at investigating the word order within the nominal domain in Russian Sign Language (RSL) with respect to Universal 20 and a hierarchy of adjectives. Universal 20 proposed by Greenberg (1963) postulates that there are three possibilities of the word order in the noun phrase, namely Demonstrative > Numeral > Adjective > Noun, ...

The paper concerns the main syntactic and semantic features of a basic converb in the Tundra Nenets language. According to certain classifications, the converb in Tundra Nenets should be regarded as a non-canonical, varying-subject, and contextual converb. It retains most verbal properties, and could be regularly built on the basis of any verbal stem. The ...

This paper focuses on semantics and syntax of two attributivizers in Kazym Khanty. Both of the attributivizers have proprietive semantics and attach to a small nominal rather than a full DP. Proprietives are not completely interchangeable, therefore the difference between them is also explored in this paper. Moreover, we are going to show that both ...

This paper aims at describing the syntactic and semantic properties of gradable predicates in Russian Sign Language (RSL). Property signs in RSL, such as big or beautiful, generally behave similarly to stative predicates. However, their compatibility with the degree modifiers and aspectual markers shows that they significantly differ from other stative verbs. Thus, they can ...

In my paper, two approaches to verb classification in Adyghe, a language of the West Caucasian family, are discussed. The first approach is a purely morphological classification based on the choice of person cross-referencing prefixes. The second one is a derivational classification which builds on the morphological mechanisms of reciprocalization and reflexivization. The main research ...

Background
Implicit-statistical learning (ISL) research investigates whether domain-general mechanisms are recruited in the linguistic processes that require manipulation of patterned regularities (e.g. syntax). Aphasia is a language disorder caused by focal brain damage in the left fronto-temporal-parietal network. Research shows that people with aphasia (PWA) with frontal lobe lesions manifest convergent deficits in syntax and ISL mechanisms. ...

The objective of this paper is to see if we can find prosodic features that can express spatial meanings on corpus material. The main two questions that we try to answer are: 1. What prosodic instruments express spatial meanings? 2. What characteristics of space are coded by prosody in Russian language? The source of the ...

Чтобы разделить влияние синтаксически- и контекстно-ориентированных стратегий при лингвистической обработке специальных вопросов в данном исследовании использовалась регистрация движений глаз и парадигма “визуальный мир”. Согласно синтаксически-ориентированной стратегии, при обработке вопросов типа Кто девочку поцеловал в школе? активация референта, соответствующего объекту (девочка), во время прослушивания глагола будет свидетельствовать о следе синтаксического перемещения. Согласно контекстно-ориентированной стратегии, то, что ...

The paper examines the correlation between the degree of agentivity in Russian causatives and their semantic structure. It supports the view that the distinction between agentivity vs. non-agentivity in causatives is an important feature with various ramifications, as demonstrated in Comrie (1976), Talmy (2000), Shibatani (2001). It also motivates the role of the ‘control’ feature ...

We conducted a corpus-based study of six strategies of compelement encoding: infinitive, nominalisation, prepositional phrase with nominalisation, finite clause introduced with complementizer čtoby, non-finite clause introduced with complementizer čtoby (i.e. čtoby + infinitive), prepositional phrase with čtoby and expletive pronoun to (o ...

In Russian negative sentences the verb’s direct object may appear either in Accusative case which is licensed by the verb (as is common cross-linguistically) or in Genitive case which is licensed by the negation (Russian-specific ‘Genitive-of-Negation’ phenomenon). Such sentences were used to investigate whether case marking is employed for anticipating syntactic structure, and whether lexical ...
