Researchers Discover How Spelling Errors Slow Down Reading in Russian
Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.

HSE Develops App for Assessing Phonological Processing in Children
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.

Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

More on the Lexicon and Grammar of the Ebla Chancery Texts
Arkhipov I., Kogan L., Altorientalische Forschungen 2025 Vol. 52 No. 1 P. 1–20
In the present study the authors continue their previous work analyzing difficult lexemes attested in the so-called “chancery texts” from the Early Dynastic city-state of Ebla (in modern Syria). The newly suggested interpretations are important not only for one’s understanding of the earliest forms of East Semitic, but also for a proper comprehension of the ...

Motion verbs and the ventive in the correspondence of Samsi-Addu, the king of Upper Mesopotamia (early eighteenth century bc)
Arkhipov I., Loesov S., Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 2025 Vol. 88 No. 3 P. 431–453
The Akkadian ventive is now well understood as a marker pointing to the location of the speech act participants. Nonetheless, there remain other domains of its usage which still need clarification. We endeavour to describe these domains of the ventive’s usage relying upon a single-writer corpus of 178 Old Babylonian letters, those of Samsi-Addu, the ...

From Sign to Sound: Orthographic Evidence on the Prosody of Akkadian Prepositions
Alexandrov B., Pasiphae. Rivista di filologia e antichità egee (Italy) 2021 Vol. 15 P. 29–48
The article studies the prosody of Akkadian prepositions. The placement of prepositions within a written line of cuneiform texts is analyzed. The Old Babylonian data show that with rare exceptions the prepositions of certain type, namely those of (C)V-VC structure, like ana ‘to(wards)’ and ina ‘in’, were never written at the end of a line. This regularity is interpreted ...
