The competition is open to students graduating in 2026 not only from HSE University but from universities in Russia and abroad. Papers may be submitted in Russian and English, and in some fields also in French, German, and Spanish.

‘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.

No ‘iota’ type-shifter in Kazym Khanty
Tiutiunnikova V., Mikhailov Stiopa, Golosov F., Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 2025 No. 29 P. 1593–1608
In this paper, we present new challenging data from Kazym Khanty (a Uralic language spoken in Western Siberia, Russia): in this articleless language, bare singular and bare dual NPs in argument positions can receive indefinite readings on par with definite ones, contradicting the predictions of the classic neo-Carlsonian approach (Chierchia, 1998; Dayal, 2004). We argue ...

Making sense of variable number agreement in Russian
Ivlieva N., Podobryaev A., Voprosy Jazykoznanija 2025 No. 1 P. 62–77
In this paper, we focus on Russian quantified noun phrases that are known to be able to trigger plural verbal agreement or no agreement at all. Descriptively, we offer a novel generalization: when such phrases trigger plural verbal agreement, they cannot be interpreted in the immediate scope of negation. We show that this generalization falls ...

Russian Disjunction To li To li and Obligatory Ignorance
Ivlieva N., Journal of Semantics 2024 Vol. 41 No. 3-4 P. 401–410
In this paper, we explore the behavior of one complex disjunction in Russian that has some special properties that set it apart from other simple and complex disjunctions: it never gives rise to free choice inferences in environments in which other disjunctions do and under universal quantifiers it behaves different from other disjunctions. We show ...

Контекстные роли в ситуационной семантике Дж. Барвайса и Дж. Перри. Путь к значению через эпистемологию и прагматику
Moiseeva A., Вестник Томского государственного университета. Философия. Социология. Политология 2023 № 75 С. 49–63
The article deals with the apparatus of contextual roles used in the situation semantics of J. Barwise and J. Perry to formalize the meaning of indexicals and demonstratives, as well as to solve broader explanatory tasks related to the pragmatic analysis of contexts. It is shown that the analysis in terms of roles makes it ...

Russian nibud'-indefinites and Neg-Raising
Denis Pisarenko, Типология морфосинтаксических параметров 2022 Vol. 5 No. 1 P. 72–90
This paper discusses the phenomenon of ambiguous interpretation of Russian nibud’-indefinites in Neg-Raising contexts. There are two major approaches to Neg-Raising: the syntactic approach which considers it an instance of the syntactic process of raising and the pragmatic approach which takes it as a result of pragma-semantic processes happening to NegRaising predicates. In this work ...

Making Weak Memory Models Fair
Lahav O., Namakonov E., Oberhauser J. et al., Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages 2021 Vol. 5 No. OOPSLA Article 98
Liveness properties, such as termination, of even the simplest shared-memory concurrent programs under sequential consistency typically require some fairness assumptions about the scheduler. Under weak memory models, we observe that the standard notions of thread fairness are insufficient, and an additional fairness property, which we call memory fairness, is needed. In this paper, we propose ...

Evidentiality and update semantics of Komi-Zyrian past tenses
Popova D., на рассмотрении 2027 P. 1–14
We have examined the evidential contrast between the first and the second past tense morphemes in Komi-Zyrian. We found that in resultative contexts, the first past tense morphology and the second past tense morphology compete with each other. While the use of the second past tense morpheme signals that the speaker has indirect (inferential or hearsay) evidence for the ...

Dependent Plurality and the Theory of Scalar Implicatures: remarks on Zweig 2009
Ivlieva N., Journal of Semantics 2020 Vol. 37 No. 3 P. 425–454
Following a recent discussion in Fox and Spector 2018, this paper provides an argument for a particular view of the theory of scalar implicatures and exhaustification where exhaustification is only allowed if it alters the overall sentence meaning without weakening it. I show that this idea is helpful to make sense of the so-called dependent plural imterpreta tions, addressed ...

Plurality in Buriat and structurally constrained alternatives
Bylinina L., Podobryaev A., Journal of Semantics 2020 Vol. 37 No. 1 P. 117–128
In a variety of languages, plural DPs like books systematically show non-singularity inferences in some contexts, but not in others.  Competition-based theories of plurality derive non-singularity inferences from reasoning about the meaning of the plural form against its singular alternative (Sauerland, 2003; Spector, 2007; Zweig, 2009). A parallel claim has been made about the meaning of singular DPs { in ...

Семантические типы импликатур и условия их возникновения (на материале Корпуса газетных заголовков)
Apresyan V., Orlov A., В кн.: Компьютерная лингвистика и интеллектуальные технологии: По материалам ежегодной международной конференции «Диалог» (Москва, 29 мая — 1 июня 2019 г.)Вып. 18(25).: [б.и.], 2019. С. 17–29.
The paper aims at contributing to a typology of implicatures via their analysis in news headlines. By implicatures we mean cancellable implicit senses, irrespectively of whether they are inherent in lexical meanings or occur in certain contextual conditions. While generally implicatures are difficult to tie to a particular type of lexical environment, our analysis of ...

Van Benthem's problem, exhaustivity, and distributivity
Ivlieva N., Alxatib S., , in: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 21.: [б.и.], 2018. P. 1–17.
We discuss the problem of deriving upper-bounded meanings of few, fewer than, and related expressions, in treatments where they are taken to denote predicates of individuals. In such analyses, the determiner-like uses of these expressions are derived by existentially- closing their predicate denotations, but this is known to give rise to problems (van Benthem, 1986). We show ...

«Онтологический квадрат» и теоретико-типовая семантика
Dolgorukov V., Kopylova A. O., Логические исследования 2018 Т. 24 № 2 С. 36–58
This paper focuses on the connection between “four-category ontologies” (which are based on Aristotle’s ontological square) and modern type-theoretical semantics. Four- category ontologies make a distinction between four types of entities: substantial universals, substantial particulars, accidental universals and accidental particulars. According to B. Smith, “fantology is a doctrine to the effect that the key to ...

Three routes to person indexicality
Podobryaev A., Natural Language Semantics 2017 Vol. 25 No. 4 P. 329–354
Uncontroversially, the meaning of first and second person pronouns and “imposters”, i.e. expressions like yours truly, (Collins and Postal 2012), should be indexical (Kaplan 1977/1989, Stalnaker 1970), but how exactly this indexicality is achieved has been a matter of some debate. While not settling the debate, this paper aims to show that there is no ...
