How to Assess Students Knowledge in the Age of AI
A researcher at HSE University has proposed a flowchart to help lecturers decide how to assess students who use artificial intelligence. It shows where the use of AI should be restricted and where it can be incorporated into the learning process. The article has been published in IT Professional.

‘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.

How to build a constructicon in five years: The Russian example

Belgian Journal of Linguistics. 2022. Vol. 34. P. 161–173.
Rakhilina E. V., Жукова В. А., Janda L. A., Endresen A.

We provide a practical step-by-step methodology of how to build a full-scale constructicon resource for a natural language, sharing our experience from the nearly completed project of the Russian Constructicon, an open-access searchable database of over 2,200 Russian constructions (https://site.uit.no /russian-constructicon/). The constructions are organized in families, clusters, and networks based on their semantic and syntactic properties, illustrated with corpus examples, and tagged for the CEFR level of language proficiency. The resource is designed for both researchers and L2 learners of Russian and offers the largest electronic database of constructions built for any language. We explain what makes the Russian Constructicon different from other constructicons, report on the major stages of our work, and share the methods used to systematically expand the inventory of constructions. Our objective is to encourage colleagues to build constructicon resources for additional natural languages, thus taking Construction Grammar to a new quantitative and qualitative level, facilitating cross-linguistic comparison.

Constructions Built of Constructions: Intensified Comparatives
Rakhilina E. V., Zhukova V., Akhapkina Y., Zeitschrift fur Slawistik 2026 Vol. 71 No. 2 P. 259–284
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 ...

Discovering the Potential of Automated Phraseological Interference Error Detection: A Transformer-Based Approach
Kharlamova D. S., Journal of the European Second Language Association 2026 Vol. 10 No. 1 P. 1–16
Formulaic language may help language learners in second language (L2) acquisition. However, interference with the first language (L1) can also cause errors in L2 production. The present paper explores the possibilities of detecting L1 Russian interference errors connected with phraseologisms in English learner texts with a fine-tuned Transformer-based neural network. Across a dataset of 3,600 ...

The article addresses the problem of selecting and systematizing data for the study of pronunciation variation in contemporary Russian and proposes a solution in the form of a specialized database of codified equivalent pronunciation variants (e.g., simmétriya / simmetríya “symmetry”). The article presents a methodology for identifying, selecting, and organizing such variants into a database. ...

Listen, Repeat, Decide: Investigating Pronunciation Variation in Spoken Word Recognition among Russian Speakers
Zubov V., Elena Riekhakaynen, , in: Proceedings of the Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon @ LREC-COLING 2024.: European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2024. P. 129–132.
Variability is one of the important features of natural speech and a challenge for spoken word recognition models and automatic speech recognition systems. We conducted two preliminary experiments aimed at finding out whether native Russian speakers regard differently certain types of pronunciation variation when the variants are equally possible according to orthoepic norms. In the ...

Изучай – не хочу: от фиксированной идиомы к конструкции
Reznikova T., Анисимов А. Д., Русский язык в научном освещении 2025 № 1(49) С. 37–61
В статье рассматривается конструкция, состоящая из императивной формы глагола и отрицательного оборота не хочу (Vimp — не хочу), и ее развитие с XIX в., когда она впервые встречается в Национальном корпусе русского языка. Для ранних реализаций конструкции характерен ограниченный набор глаголов, выступающих в императивной позиции (прежде всего ешь и пей), тем самым выражение в этот период может быть квалифицировано как ...

Difference in Language Profiles of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome Is Not Driven by Non-Verbal Cognition
Novoselova K., Lopukhina A., Gomozova M. et al., International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders 2026 Vol. 61 No. 1 Article e70177
Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Down syndrome (DS) are among the most common types of neurodevelopmental conditions that have co-occurring language impairments. Usually, non-verbal IQ has been reported as one of the main predictors of language functioning in children with these conditions. Although language abilities of children with ASD and DS have been described in ...

Experimental evidence suggests that null complement anaphora in Russian is not reducible to clausal ellipsis
Knyazev M., Folia Linguistica 2026 Vol. 60 No. 1 P. 453–496
Null complement anaphora, NCA (e.g., I suggested the price was too high, and she agreed ∅.), is a long known but poorly understood phenomenon subject to idiosyncratic lexical restrictions. In languages like Russian, however, it is (or appears) productive, with verbs not allowing NCA hard to nd, raising the question whether omission of the clausal argument ...

LexiaD, the first dyslexia-specific Cyrillic font compared to the popular Times New Roman and Roboto fonts when read by adults
Alexeeva S. V., Zubov V., Nikonova Y., , in: Psychological Applications Conference and Trends (InPACT 2022).: inScience Press, 2022. P. 464–468.
The LexiaD font was developed for Russian-speaking people with reading disorders (dyslexia) (Alexeeva et al., 2020). LexiaD demonstrated an advantage in letter feature extraction and information integration over other modern Cyrillic fonts (PT Sans and PT Serif) while reading by primary school dyslexic and non-dyslexic children. However, for dyslexic and non-dyslexic adolescents, the familiar Arial font was more effective ...

Русское всё равно: парадоксы незавершенной морфологизации
Киреев Н. И., Plungian V., Вопросы языкознания 2025 № 5 С. 91–117
В статье на представительном корпусном материале рассматриваются нетривиальные морфосинтаксические свойства экспериенциального предикатива всё равно (возникшего, по нашему мнению, под польским влиянием) в русском языке XVII–XXI вв. Если семантические особенности этого выражения были достаточно подробно описаны Л. Л. Иомдиным, то его диахроническая эволюция и статус его компонентов до сих пор редко попадали в поле зрения лингвистов. ...
