Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Grammatical error correction is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing. For the Russian language, most of the spellcheckers available correct typos and other simple errors with high accuracy, but often fail when faced with non-native (L2) writing, since the latter contains errors that are not typical for native speakers.

This paper describes the semantics of one of the verb forms in Shughni, traditionally called Perfect. This form displays many areally-motivated typological similarities with perfects in other languages of Western and Central Asia.

It is often suggested that Turkic languages could be the source of diffusion in this case, ...

The paper explores head and hand movements as markers of direct and indirect evidentiality, along with some lexemes in Russian. While there are numerous examples of evidential markers in speech, especially in languages where the category is grammaticalized, much less is known about non-verbal evidential markers. We claim that although there are no systemic rules ...

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 ...
