‘Hedgehog Versus ‘Relatives: Researchers Measure How the Brain Responds to Unexpected Words During Natural Speech
Russian neurophysiologists, including researchers from HSE University, have demonstrated the feasibility of using event-related fields (ERFs) to study brain activity during natural speech perception. The researchers showed that this approach can be applied not only to individual words but also to continuous speech. Their findings indicate that words whose meanings differ significantly from the preceding context require longer processing times. The study also reveals that the brain processes function words in two stages: first, it identifies their grammatical role and then uses this information to predict the next word. The study has been published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

Scientists Develop Algorithm for More Reliable Processors in Data Centres
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Samara University have developed the LRF-3D algorithm to automatically bypass idle nodes in three-dimensional networks-on-chip. Thanks to its hierarchical architecture, the algorithm outperforms existing solutions in both speed and path accuracy, improving processor reliability for use in data centres, supercomputers, and AI computing. The source code and test results are publicly available.

Semantic integrity of a word structure and semantic primitives

Res Militaris. 2022. Vol. 12. No. 2. P. 2111–2119.
Trofimova N., Pesina S. A., Vinogradova S. A., et a.

The article attempts to describe the way of storing and functioning of meanings of polysemous words in the linguistic lexicon. To achieve this goal we turned to research of semantic primitives discovered in the course of lexical analysis. Within the framework of the interdisciplinary approach to the problems of words meanings ambiguity, the article justifies the hypothesis that in the process of polysemous words decoding the communicant does not take into account all semantic components of a word. The article aims at confirmation the functioning of a polysemous word meaningful core – lexical invariant, consisting of the clusters of the most essential semantic components. We provide theoretical and practical reasons for semantic integrity of polysemous words meanings on the basis of the invariant theory. Basic methods include invariant analysis of figurative meanings based on cognitive images, and component analysis of dictionary definitions. The invariant cluster as a set of the most essential and stable semantic components is eventually formed in the consciousness of a native speaker in accordance with the intuition of an average native speaker.

Introduction: the role of the lexicon in actionality

Actionality (also referred to by labels such as “lexical aspect” or “aktionsart”) is the semantic dimension that encodes the constituent phases and boundaries of situations. Despite its central role in aspectual interpretation, careful language-specific descriptions and typological surveys of actional systems have been rare thus far. In this introduction, we describe the steps that lead ...
