True, liminal and fake prototypes in syntactic typology
P. 186–200.
Lander Yu., Tyshkevich N.
Gradience in syntax is often described as having prototype-based architecture. However, the syntactic prototypes postulated in literature are not all alike. In this paper, we distinguish between (i) true prototypes, which are based on clear linguistic evidence, (ii) liminal prototypes, which are associated with diachronically unstable patterns and hence cannot be precisely determined, and (iii) fake prototypes, which are based on effects that only reflect the diversity of sources of a phenomenon. In relation to these three kinds of concepts, we discuss relative clause constructions, serial verb constructions and the notion of subject.

On the basis of field and corpus data, preliminary observations are made about the form and function of serial verb constructions (SVC) in the varieties of Christian Urmi Neo-Aramaic. Serial verb constructions are considered adopting
“wide” understanding of this phenomenon, represented by the works of Plungyan, Aikhenvald and Andrason among many others. Big amount of data ...

The article analyzes features of relativization in Maloe Karachkino dialect of Chuvash (> Bulgar > Turkic). The elicitation data (collected by the author in a series of field trips from 2018 to 2020) shows that the gap strategy [Comrie, Kuteva 2005] is the main relativization mechanism in Maloe Karachkino dialect, and the syntactic restrictions on ...

The present paper discusses the syntactic statuses of the core argumentsin the predicative possessive construction in Neo-Aramaic Urmi dialect. The study analyses a diachronic hypothesis which states that the possessee is an “old” subject which has grammaticalized as direct object, while the previously topical possessor is a “new” subject. The syntactic properties of both arguments are considered based on the eleven criteria for subjecthood proposed in (Keenan, 1976). ...

The article focuses on the function and classification of Russian
‘predicatives’ (non-verbal predicates), such as uyutno ‘(it is) cosy’, nepriyatno ‘(it is)
unpleasant’ and kholodno ‘(it is) cold’. The main problem I am solving is why the
third element of the attributive system, besides adjectives and adverbials, is necessary.
In the end, I conclude that predicatives have common properties ...

В эвенском языке основной стратегией релятивизации является причастная, падежно-неориентированная стратегия. Согласно существующим описаниям эвенского языка, она используется преимущественно для релятивизации аргументов, тогда как релятивизация адъюнктов требует иных конструкций. В современном быстринском диалекте эвенского языка обнаруживается несколько отличная характеристика причастной стратегии. Так, она может использоваться и для релятивизации адъюнктов, при этом становясь падежно-ориентированной. ...

In the article, I describe cases of special behavior of Russian phrases with quantifiers like neskol’ko ‘some’, mnogo ‘many, much’ and small numerals like dva ‘two’. I show that they can occur in the subject position in contexts that usually do not contain a canonical DP/NP subject (constructions with the verb xvatat’ ‘be enough’, negation contexts with ...

There are two common relativization strategies in the Russian language: relativization with a relative pronoun kotoryj (roughly translatable to English that) and relativization with a participle. Even though these two constructions do not show signifi cant diff erence in meaning, they are not fully interchangeable. The Russian language has several documented contexts (also known as ...

Диахроническое исследование древнерусских именных клауз с местоименным и нулевым подлежащим с целью установления причины экспансии местоимений в истории русского языка. В ходе анализа удалось обнаружить, что экспансия местоимений изначально связана с падением связок в клаузах с именным предикатом, а не глагольным. ...

В настоящей статье рассматривается синтаксис причастной конструкции, употребляющейся в контексте сентенциальных актантов, в казымском диалекте хантыйского языка. Конструкция похожа на причастную относительную клаузу и имеет в качестве вершины семантически пустое имя wɛr ‘дело’. В статье проводится сравнение синтаксических свойств относительных клауз и конструкции с wɛr. Последнюю предлагается анализировать как релятивизацию фактивного аргумента. ...

East Caucasian relative clause constructions (RCCs) are sometimes viewed as constructed mainly on the basis of semantic and pragmatic information. In this paper, we consider RCCs in Mehweb and argue that, despite the fact that the interpretation of some of them may rely exclusively on semantics, syntactic mechanisms may also come into play in their organization. We present evidence ...

В статье рассматривается разряд русских предикативов - слов типа "хорошо, (что)", "неприятно, (если)", "трудно (это сделать)", выступающих, как правило, в позиции сказуемого. Как показано в статье, хотя очень многие предикативы близки между собой по форме (в большинстве случаев они совпадают с наречиями и / или краткими прилагательными), синтаксически они различны: в одних случаях подлежащим можно ...

Slavic languages present two strategies of agreement in relative constructions with locutor personal pronouns in the head. The verbal predicate of the relative clause can either agree in person with the head of the relative construction (distant agreement) or take third person marking, which is presumably associated with the relative pronoun. The distribution of these two ...

The paper describes theoretical grounds of a new concept for parts-of-speech differentiation in Chinese developed by the renowned Chinese linguist Yuan Yulin. On the basis of Yuan Yulin’s theory, the authors analyze lexical units that are traditionally called directives, but are marked in the majority of Chinese textbooks used in Russia as nouns. The main ...

Andi, Botlikh and Avar mostly use native ‘time’ nouns to form temporal subordinate clauses. In Andi and Botlikh the cognate nouns rihi and rihu // riw are morphologising towards temporal converb markers, however in Avar, there is no such development. meχ and other nouns in temporal expressions in Avar more frequently appear in ergative, but ...

In the article, the problem of clausal subjects in Russian is considered (as in Menja udivilo, čto nikto ne prišel ‘It surpsised me that no one came’). I conclude that some substantial properties differentiate clausal subjects from nominal ones. The analysis shows that clausal complements should be regarded as non-canonical subjects. Importantly, the class of ...

In polysynthetic West Caucasian languages, the morphological verbal complex amounts to a clause, with all kinds of participants cross-referenced by affixes. Relativization is performed by introducing a relative affix in the cross-reference slot which corresponds to the relativized participant. However, these languages display several cross-linguistically rare features of relativization. Firstly, while under the view of ...
