Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

Researchers Develop Methodology to Assess the Quality of Legal Representation in Criminal Proceedings
Having a good defence attorney in criminal proceedings can largely determine whether a defendant retains their freedom, health and good name. Researchers at HSE University propose a method for predicting an attorney’s performance based on the outcomes of their previous cases. The methodology takes into account the severity of the charges, the complexity of the cases, and the most likely outcome, drawing on judicial statistics.

К ВОПРОСУ ОБ ЭРГАТИВНОСТИ В НОВОАРАМЕЙСКИХ ЯЗЫКАХ

С. 380–399.
Sarkisov I.

This research examines the ergativity in Neo-Aramaic languages. It is based on the materials of the previous works and field studies. The results show that the system of Neo-Aramaic preterit constructions, that is usually being called «ergative», in sober fact is not ergative. In reality in Neo-Aramaic languages two different systems of the marking of verbal arguments can be found: a nominative alignment with the reversed meaning of agreement suffixes and an active alignment, while the real ergativity never appears.

The present paper is a comparative study of topics in Semitic historical morphosyntax.

On the Etymological Awareness of the Traditional Arabic Lexicography Aethiopica in Lisān al-ʿarab and Tāj al-ʿarūs
Kogan L., Journal of the American Oriental Society, США 2025 Vol. 145 No. 3 P. 623–634
Arab lexicographers rarely attempted to search for a foreign origin of Arabic words, trying instead to derive them—not very persuasively—from autochthonous Arabic roots. Known exceptions mostly involve Persian, a foreign language par excellence for most Arab philologists. This article explores this phenomenon in a different linguistic domain, viz., loanwords from Classical Ethiopic (Geʿez), the language ...

The article is devoted to causative verb alternation in Christian Urmi Neo-Aramaic. I have analyzed the formal types of 31 causal/noncausal verb pairs developed by M. Haspelmath (1993). Field data were collected during the fieldtrip to the village of Urmiya, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. I show that Haspelmath’s ordering of verb meanings according to the likelihood ...

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.

Тезисы к докладу, появященному каузативно-инхоативным глагольным парам в христианском урмийском новоарамейском. Анализировались способы маркирования в 31 паре глаголов, предложенных в [Haspelmath 1993].

Локус маркирования в атрибутивных посессивных конструкциях с частицей ət в урмийском новоарамейском
Russkih A., В кн.: Девятнадцатая конференция по типологии и грамматике для молодых исследователей: тезисы докладов.: СПб.: ИЛИ РАН, 2022. С. 123–126.
Настоящее исследование посвящено установлению локуса маркирования синтаксической связи в атрибутивных посессивных конструкциях с релятором ət в урмийском новоарамейском. Конструкция с релятором в урмийском новоарамейском является основным способом выражения как прототипических, так и ти- пологически периферийных значений посессивной зоны [Русских 2021]. В исследовании показано, что несмотря на то, что фонетически частица ət ассоциируется с вершиной посессивной конструкции, синтаксически она образует одну ...

Reflections on the Suffix Conjugations in Semitic
Loesov S., Journal of Semitic Studies 2022 Vol. 67 No. 1 P. 337–351
Suffix conjugations (SCs) of East and West Semitic may not be traced back to the same verb form in Proto-Semitic. Rather, they evolved separately, by way of a ‘common drift’ in the two branches of Semitic. This is demonstrated, in particular, by a crass contrast, both in forms and diathetic meanings, between the SCs of ...

A History of the Passive in Pre-modern Aramaic: An Outline
Kalinin M., Loesov S., Journal of Semitic Studies 2022 Vol. 67 No. 2 P. 471–516
In Proto-Aramaic, the passive of transitive verbs belonging to all three principal stems—G, D and C—was formed internally. Some verbs of the G- and D-stems also possessed detransitive derivatives. Transitive verbs of the G-, D- and C-stems lost their internal passives early on, and the passives of G- and D-verbs were encoded by their respective ...

Non-finite forms constitute an important component of the verbal system of Indo-Aryan (IA) languages. On the one hand, some of them, such as e.g., converbs, have already received proper attention in historical linguistics and typological literature, with regard to Old Indo-Aryan (OIA), Middle Indo-Aryan (MIA) and New Indo-Aryan (NIA) (cf.
