‘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.

Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

Towards pragmatic construction typology: The case of discourse formulae

Ch. 3. P. 35–63.
Bychkova P., Rakhilina E. V.

This paper discusses the frame method developed by Moscow lexical typology group in application to pragmatic constructions, namely, discourse formulae (idiomatic answers like Fair enough or You bet!). The methods of data collection and analysis are illustrated with a case study of negative discourse formulae in four Slavic languages. The study shows how the field of negation is organized, and how answering strategies differ in Russian, Polish, Slovene and Serbian. The results are addressed from the point of view of the theory of speech acts.

This article examines the syntax of constructions with aspectual verbs in Sakha (a.k.a. Yakut). Such constructions contain two predicates: a lexical verb which is a converb, and a finite aspectual verb that conveys some grammatical meaning. The syntax of such constructions has already been studied for some other Turkic languages. The pre‑ sent research examines ...

Слова фигушки и хренушки как специфическое средство выражения отрицания в русской разговорной речи
Nikishina E., Russian Linguistics 2026 Т. 50 Статья 4
The article examines the words фигушки and хренушки (derivatives of the vulgar words фиг and хрен) as specific means of expressing negation in Russian colloquial speech. They have two main uses: first, they function as an independent response – a refusal to do something (– Лучше вылезай! – Фигушки, вы драться будете ‘– You’d better get out! – No ...

The immediate and the naive metaphysics
Ivan B. Mikirtumov, Epistemology and Philosophy of Science 2025 Vol. 62 No. 3 P. 126–131
In this article, I discuss Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer’s ideas about the nature of language and the metaphysical residue that seems to be present in the realm of immediate experience, despite all the criticism and success of positive knowledge. This includes, first and foremost, the ability to perceive objects, facts, and possible worlds which humans have from ...

Towards a typology of echo questions
Симонова Т. В., Voprosy Jazykoznanija 2025 No. 3 P. 7–29
Over the past half century, the analysis of questions has played an important role in the development of the syntactic theory. Despite this, echo questions have been given quite little attention, and most studies on echo questions focused on data from a single language. In this paper, I review strategies of forming echo questions of different types in ...

This study presents a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of language models (LLMs) in detecting disagreement across a wide range of pragmatic strategies, from mitigated forms to overt verbal aggression. Special attention is given to complex cases of implicit manifestations of irony and sarcasm, which pose significant challenges for both automated analysis and interpersonal communication. ...

This paper discusses the Routinicon, a new constructicographic resource for the description of conversational routines. Conversational routines are defined as conventional formulaic expressions that language speakers use in standard extralinguistic situations (cf. Bless you! as a reaction to sneezing or Who’s there? as a typical answer to a knock on the door). The Routinicon’s goal ...

The chapter presents a case study of the repetition mechanism within the development of discourse formulae, i.e., multi-word formulaic replies similar to yes and no. It closely examines the process of pragmaticalization in the Russian formula Kak že! (‘how part’) and its duplicated counterpart. The diachronic corpus data shows that the formula Kak že! emerged ...

Deixis and Communication
Boris Uspenskij, Incontri Linguistici 2024 Vol. 47 No. 3 P. 99–123
Human communication consists in exchanging information between communicants. Communicants depart from their personal subjective perception of the objective reality, based on their individual understandings, impressions, and associations. Exchanging information means to realign such personal perceptions with each other. How can two speakers be certain that they understand the words in one and the same way? ...

Анализ проблемы скептицизма в отношении значения в категориях языковой прагматики

In this work, I show the perspectives revealed for analysis of the problem of scepticism regarding meaning (‘the Kripke’s problem’) by usage of the categories of linguistic pragmatics (performativity, the distinction of locution, illocution and perlocution). I provide a critical analysis of the argumentation against scepticism proposed by V. A. Ladov and E. V. Borisov, who appeal to performative ...

Negative concord in fragments: Reexamining the evidence against the negativity of negation markers
Rudnev P., Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 2024 Vol. 9 No. 1 P. 1–21
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 ...

Creating a corpus labeled with dialog acts is one of the most difficult tasks in corpus linguistics. Dialog acts can reflect various aspects of the utterances in the dialogues, but most often represent the pragmatic intentions of the speaker or the features of the dialog discourse. The pragmatic and discourse functions of one utterance can ...
