Of Rare and Obsolete Words
Journal of Semitic Studies. 2025. Vol. 70. No. 1. P. 67–86.
Older residents of the Modern Western Aramaic-speaking village of Maaloula are keenly aware of the progressive impoverishment of their lexicon as the younger generations come to maturity without direct knowledge of traditional ways of life and material culture. In this short Modern Western Aramaic text, two such residents discuss both the localities in which these ways of life unfolded and the words associated with them, which have become rare and even obsolete among contemporary speakers. The text is furnished with interlinear morphosyntactic glosses, a short lexicon of terms that do not appear in the standard dictionary of Modern Western Aramaic (NWAW), a translation into the local vernacular Arabic, and images illustrating the words and the locations that the speakers discuss.

This study explores a fragment of the accentual system of the Pskov dialect, with data obtained from both a corpus and fieldwork. The focus is on a-stem nouns (1st declension), with the accent types and stress patterns described. The accent types of nouns are presented in tables, while the stress patterns are given in a dictionary format, allowing for a combined approach to describing the dialect’s accentual system. Special attention is paid to stress placement in the accusativus singularis form of a number of words, which in this case ...

В нганасанском языке существует сложная система чередования гласных в суффиксах, которая восходит к противопоставлению переднего и заднего рядов, но в результате многих передвижений гласных лишилась фонетической мотивации. Из всех суффиксов есть один глагольный, который, присоединяясь к корням, выражающим визуально наблюдаемые свойства, способен принимать гласные обоих сингармонических классов, соответственно меняя гласные и всех аффиксов, следующих за ...

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. ...

В статье рассматриваются модели образования числительных второго десятка (с 11 до 19) в языках Сибири. «Простая» модель, в которой эти числительные образуются соположением слова ‘десять’ и количества единиц («десять один», «десять два» и т.д.), характерна для языков юга Сибири, но проникает также на север восточнее Енисея и на восток Якутии. Вторая модель, включающая слово типа ...

Previous EEG studies demonstrated ample evidence for a major influence of morphological regularity on inflectional processing. However, regularity effects may be attributed to different properties of inflectional classes: to type frequency, to productivity, or to defaultness (assumed only in some models). In many languages, these factors cannot be teased apart, but it is possible in ...

Various coordinating and subordinating conjunctions that connect clauses differ in their structural properties. Such properties seem to influence dis course prominence: references to antecedents from main clauses are more frequent than from subordinate. Structurally, coordinate and subordinate clauses, as well as in-between cases, can be distinguished based on the degree of integration to the host ...

Boris Pasternak’s poem “Before All That There Was Winter” (from the book “My Sister, Life”) is enigmatic in many ways: its content is obscure, its syntax is not always clear, and the boundaries of its metaphors are not obvious. It requires a thorough and detailed analysis of each line. This analysis was carried out by ...

This article presents a novel corpus-based approach to (im)politeness research, grounded in Terkourafi's theory of politeness as conventionalization, which highlights the frequent use of linguistic forms in specific contexts as key to developing politeness meanings. We propose lexical bundles – recurrent multi-word sequences – as a systematic tool for tracking (im)politeness in discourse. To illustrate ...

Настоящая статья ставит своей целью критический пересмотр доминирующей в публичном дискурсе концепции «культуры отмены». В качестве основной задачи автор подвергает сомнению трактовку «отмены» как простого исключения индивида из публичного пространства, предлагая альтернативную лингвистическую и дискурс-аналитическую модель. Для достижения этой цели в работе решается ряд конкретных задач: 1) лингвистический анализ эволюции термина «отмена»; 2) исследование механизмов публичного ...

Many studies on different languages analyzed how spelling errors are produced and detected. Recently, a new generalization was made for several languages: frequently misspelled words are read more slowly, even when they are written correctly and one knows how to spell them. This is explained by the lower quality of their lexical representations diluted by ...
