Doctoral Student at HSE University Reveals Hidden Layout of Ancient Parion
İdil Malgil, a researcher at HSE University, conducted a UAV-based LiDAR survey of the ancient Roman city of Parion in present-day Turkey. The high density of the scans allowed the team to detect subtle terrain features concealed beneath the ground and vegetation. The survey revealed traces of entire neighbourhoods, terraced structures, and walls that had remained invisible during routine excavations and could not be identified through aerial photography. The findings have been published in Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia.

Negative concord in fragments: Reexamining the evidence against the negativity of negation markers

Glossa: a journal of general linguistics. 2024. Vol. 9. No. 1. P. 1–21.
Rudnev P.

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 quantifiers scoping above negation.

Самосознание в зеркале метафоры: квантитативный анализ метафорической системы раннего творчества Уоллеса Стивенса (1879–1955)
Chikhacheva D., Человек: образ и сущность. Гуманитарные аспекты 2026 № 2 С. 217–228
Данное исследование фокусируется на раннем периоде творчества американского поэта Уоллеса Стивенса. Проведенный квантитативный анализ позволил определить доминанты метафорической системы этого периода творчества. Было установлено, что центральным смыслообразующим концептом в метафорике раннего творчества У. Стивенса выступает «СУЩЕСТВО». Исследование показывает, что поэтическая картина мира автора в этот период характеризуется тотальным панвитализмом – У. Стивенс наделяет атрибутами субъектности ...

Avant-Garde Poetry and the Tékhnē of Traditional Versification
Kazartsev (Evgenii Kazartcev) E., Kirichenko N., Arts 2026 Vol. 15 No. 5 Article 97
This article offers a theoretically nuanced and empirically grounded investigation into the paradoxical afterlife of classical versification within the poetic practices of the Russian and Soviet avant-garde. Challenging the persistent historiographic narrative that equates avant-garde poetics with an unequivocal rupture from tradition, the study demonstrates that canonical metrical forms—most notably iambic tetrameter—continued to operate as ...

Rank‑Turbulence Delta and interpretable approaches to stylometric Delta measures
Dmitry Pronin, Evgeny Kazartsev, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities 2026 P. 1–15
This article repositions Burrows’s Delta as a flexible family of distance measures for exploratory and unsupervised stylometry, where interpretability and stability are as important as predictive accuracy. We introduce two probabilistic extensions, Rank-Turbulence Delta and Jensen–Shannon Delta, by reinterpreting uncentred standardized word-frequency vectors as non-negative representations that can be normalized into probability distributions and compared ...

Experimental evidence suggests that null complement anaphora in Russian is not reducible to clausal ellipsis

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 ...

Two challenges for existentialist approaches to strict negative concord
Rudnev P., TABU: Bulletin voor Taalwetenschap 2024 P. 312–328
I present two challenges for the popular approach to the meaning of negative concord items, or neg-words, as existential quantifiers or indefinites. The first challenge concerns the interaction of that analysis with the approaches to fragment answers as instances of clausal ellipsis. The second challenge stems from the ability of multiple neg-words within one clause ...
