Team Success: Aligning Means with Objectives
In corporations, sports, and academia, people often face challenges they cannot handle alone. In such cases, selecting the right team is crucial. Tatiana Mayskaya, Associate Professor at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences and the International College of Economics and Finance, together with colleagues from foreign universities, examined team characteristics and found that less diverse teams are better suited to objectives where a high average performance is important, whereas more diverse teams are preferable when avoiding failure is critical. The paper has been published in Economic Theory.

Economists Propose More Effective Approach to Reducing Smoking
Economists at HSE University have examined how smokers respond to changes in cigarette prices. When tobacco prices increase, cigarette consumption does not always decline. In fact, spending on tobacco may even rise: according to the researchers, a 1% decrease in cigarette affordability leads to a 0.28% increase in per capita tobacco expenditure. The findings suggest that to reduce smoking rates, tobacco prices must rise faster than household incomes. The study has been published in Voprosy Statistiki.

Evidentiality in the Rikvani dialect of Andi

Iran and the Caucasus. 2020. Vol. 24. No. 3. P. 309–324.
Verhees S.

This paper presents a description of evidentiality marking in the Rikvani dialect of Andi. As a language spoken in the Caucasus, Andi is situated in the centre of a large area within Eurasia where evidentiality is frequently expressed with a perfect or resultative form of the verb (general indirective), and special particles marking hearsay (and sometimes also inference). Both are attested in Andi and form independent evidential paradigms. I will explore the way these forms are used in natural texts and elicitation and how they interact with each other. An important issue is to what extent evidentiality can be considered grammaticalized as part of the verbal paradigm in Andi. I will compare my observations on Andi to the systems found in other East Caucasian languages.

Khwarshi has two synthetic past forms that are traditionally considered to form this kind of opposition, but, according to our data, it may in fact not be based on ...

Grammatical error correction is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing.

In this paper, ...

The ‘Still Not’ Present in Andi: identifying the grammaticalization source
Maisak T., Verhees S., Folia Linguistica 2024 Vol. 58 No. s45-s1 P. 185–220
Andi (East Caucasian) features a verb form that marks an event that is (still) not happening, contrary to the speaker’s expectation (i.e. ‘Still Not’ Present). This form is unusual for several reasons. First, forms of this kind are not typical for the language family. Second, while it conveys negative semantics, the form does not contain ...

К типологии перфекта в языках мира

Статья открывает сборник статей, посвященный типологии глагольной граммемы перфекта в языках мира. Отмечается, что можно выделить три круга проблем, связанных с типологическим описанием перфекта. Первая и самая очевидная сложность – это определение семантики соответствующих глагольных показателей. Сущности, отождествляемые как перфект, демонстрируют высокую степень полисемии, контексты их употреблений в разных языках, как правило, не совпадают, иногда ...

Перфект в старославянском: был ли он результативным?
Plungian V., Урманчиева А. Ю., Slovĕne 2017 Т. 6 № 2 С. 13–56
Перфект, как известно, является одной из самых загадочных форм старославянского языка, семантика которой упорно не поддается описанию. Старославянские тексты представляют собой переводы (прежде всего — с греческого), и в них в значительной степени наблюдается калькирование как в сфере лексики, так и в сфере грамматических форм и конструкций. Но именно перфект нарушает эту картину: соответствия перфектных ...
