О значении гетерограммы LÚ(.MEŠ)MAŠ.EN.KAK в хеттской клинописи
Шаги/Steps. 2024. Т. 10. № 2. С. 54–71.
The article is devoted to the use of the logogram LÚ(.MEŠ)MAŠ.EN.KAK in Hittite texts. This logogram was borrowed from the Mesopotamian cuneiform in which it rendered the Akkadian word muškēnum (lit. ‘the one who bows down, performs proskynesis’). In 1950 E. Laroche showed that the logogram should be read as ašiwant- ‘poor’ in Hittite. However, subsequently several scholars have pointed out that this meaning did not fit well into many contexts. Therefore it was suggested that LÚ(.MEŠ)MAŠ.EN.KAK was rather a social term referring to a certain group of Hittite population dependent of the state (‘palace’) (V. Souček, I.M. Diakonoff). Such renderings of the logogram as ‘semi-free, dependent, serfs, servants’ which are widely used in the literature conform with this interpretation. But there seem to be not enough evidence in the sources to substantiate these translations. The article analyses two texts from ancient Tapikka (HKM 8, 105) which were not yet known in the 1960s when the main study on the Hittite LÚ(.MEŠ)MAŠ.EN.KAK appeared. It is suggested that the solution should be sought in the Mesopotamian tradition of the Old Babylonian time in which the Akkadian equivalent of the logogram, the noun muškēnum, referred to commoners, ordinary citizens economically independent of the palace.

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 ...

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 ...

В статье рассматривается председатель Думы как политический институт, который
заметно эволюционировал вместе со всей политической системы Российской
империи. Отчасти это объясняется поступательным расширением полномочий
Думы, отчасти личными качествами председателей и той партийной поддержкой,
на которую они могли рассчитывать. Так или иначе, в условиях неустойчивости
правил игры, рыхлости фракционных структур председатель обретал широкий
круг полномочий, что делало его весьма влиятельной фигурой в ...
