Creation and Analysis of the Multimedia Russian Corpus for Gesture Research
P. 249–272.
Rakhilina E. V., Cienki A.
The chapter considers gesture studies in relation to corpus linguistic work. The focus is on the Multimedia Russian Corpus (MURCO), part of the Russian National Corpus. The chapter includes a brief biography of the creator of this corpus, Elena Grishina. The compilation of the corpus out of a set of Russian classic feature films and recorded lectures is described as well as the methods of annotating it in detail. The gesture coding is not limited to manual/hand gestures, but also includes head gestures and use of eye gaze. The chapter considers the findings from the corpus, and reported in Grishina’s posthumously published volume on Russian gestures from a linguistic point of view. The categories include pointing gestures, representational gestures, auxiliary (discourse-structuring) gestures, and several cross-cutting categories, including gestures in relation to pragmatics and to grammatical categories, like verbal aspect. Additional consideration is given to other video corpora in English (and other languages) which are being used for gesture research, namely the UCLA NewsScape library being managed by the Red Hen Lab and the Television Archive.

Formulaic language may help language learners in second language (L2) acquisition. However, interference with the first language (L1) can also cause errors in L2 production. The present paper explores the possibilities of detecting L1 Russian interference errors connected with phraseologisms in English learner texts with a fine-tuned Transformer-based neural network. Across a dataset of 3,600 ...

This chapter presents the Russian Sign Language (RSL) Corpus and demonstrates
its capabilities as a research tool by summarizing three corpus-based
studies primarily focused on syntactic functions of nonmanual markers.

nonmanual markers. The second study analyzes marking of ...

Variability is one of the important features of natural speech and a challenge for spoken word recognition models and automatic speech recognition systems. We conducted two preliminary experiments aimed at finding out whether native Russian speakers regard differently certain types of pronunciation variation when the variants are equally possible according to orthoepic norms. In the ...

appears) productive, with verbs not allowing NCA hard to nd, raising the question whether omission of the clausal argument ...

Наличие супплетивной формы лет в парадигме существительного год отличает русский язык от других восточнославянских. При этом в русских говорах вместо лет может использоваться вариант годов. Данные панхронического подкорпуса НКРЯ показывают, что форма годов, зафиксированная впервые в XV в., на всем протяжении истории русского языка была
периферийной, в XVII–XVIII вв. использовалась преимущественно в нехудожественных текстах, а в ...
