Physicists Discover What Happens Inside a Stable Vortex
Large vortices with characteristic spiral arms are often observed in the atmosphere and the ocean. Physicists from HSE University have explained how these structures form and why they retain their shape. The researchers found that velocities at points located along the same vortex arc remain correlated even over long distances. At the same time, this correlation weakens rapidly with increasing distance from the vortex centre. These differences help explain the formation of spiral arms and may improve models of atmospheric and oceanic currents. The findings have been published in Physical Review Fluids.

Syntactic functions of non-manuals in Russian Sign Language

P. 90–129.
Burkova S., Khristoforova E., Kimmelman V.

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.
The first study considers question marking in regular wh-questions and in
question-answer pairs. It shows that the two constructions have very different
nonmanual markers. The second study analyzes marking of topics in RSL, and
shows that nonmanual markers of topics are typologically common, but are infrequent
in naturalistic corpus data. The third study investigates conditional and
concessive constructions in RSL. It demonstrates that these constructions make
extensive and frequent use of nonmanual markers, but that no single marker is
specialized for the function of expressing conditional or concessive meaning.
Instead, complex combinations of multiple markers are employed in these constructions.
All three studies also contribute to sign language typology by providing
novel descriptions of syntactic and discourse phenomena in RSL.

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 ...

Towards a Cognitive Distortion Conditional

Cognitive distortions, systematic biases in thinking that lead to erroneous beliefs and emotional distress, are challenging to identify and address due to their extensive variability and context-dependent nature. This paper explores the limitations of traditional approaches, such as Beck’s cognitive model of depression, in consistently detecting these distortions across diverse therapeutic settings. This approach uses ...

The ‘adverb-ly adjective’ construction in English: meanings, distribution and discourse functions
Taboada M., Goddard C., Trnavac R., English Language and Linguistics 2025 Vol. 29 No. 1 P. 102–131
We investigate a class of adjective phrases composed of a deadjectival adverb ending in -ly and an adjective head (e.g. staggeringly incompetent, absolutely terrific, fiscally responsible), a compact construction whereby two adjectives may jointly contribute to evaluative meaning. Using corpus methodologies on more than 1 million examples and relying on semantic analyses of about 1,000 instances, we propose that the ...
