More on the Lexicon and Grammar of the Ebla Chancery Texts
Altorientalische Forschungen. 2025. Vol. 52. No. 1. P. 1–20.
In the present study the authors continue their previous work analyzing difficult lexemes attested in the so-called “chancery texts” from the Early Dynastic city-state of Ebla (in modern Syria). The newly suggested interpretations are important not only for one’s understanding of the earliest forms of East Semitic, but also for a proper comprehension of the exceedingly difficult texts in which they appear. For each lexeme, an exhaustive list of translated and annotated text attestations is provided. It is our hope that this and related studies scheduled for the future will lay robust foundations for an eventual dictionary of Eblaite.

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

This article describes verbs denoting motion of liquid and dry substances in Slavic languages. The research explores how Slavic languages lexicalize different situations within the semantic field of substance motion and identifies the parameters that drive this lexicalization (e.g., type of substance, intensity and quantization of flow, and causation). Adjacent grammatical phenomena such as argument ...

Впервые делается попытка рассмотреть особенности фанфикшн как акта продуктивной рецепции, возникшего на основе цикла романов Терри Пратчетта о Плоском мире в России. Проведенный анализ показывает, что прежде всего авторы фанфиков стремятся передать стилистику и комическое начало оригинального цикла Пратчетта, вне зависимости от жанра и формата создаваемых ими произведений. Фикрайтеры наиболее часто обращаются к таким форматам, ...

The article studies the prosody of Akkadian prepositions. The placement of prepositions within a written line of cuneiform texts is analyzed. The Old Babylonian data show that with rare exceptions the prepositions of certain type, namely those of (C)V-VC structure, like ana ‘to(wards)’ and ina ‘in’, were never written at the end of a line. This regularity is interpreted ...
