Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

The Mehweb “assertive” copula gʷa: a sketch of a portrait
Lander Yu., , in: The Mehweb language: Essays on phonology, morphology and syntax.: Berlin: Language Science Press, 2019. Ch. 12 P. 315–331.
Mehweb Dargwa features a particle gwa, a peculiar element which is basically used for emphasizing the assertion. The paper explores some grammatical characteristics of this particle. It is shown that, in both verbal and non-verbal clauses, gwa serves as a predicative marker forming a complete predication and is an equivalent of a copula (even though, unlike the neutral ...

Relative clause and resumptive pronouns in Mehweb
Lander Yu., Kozhukhar A., , in: The Mehweb language: Essays on phonology, morphology and syntax.: Berlin: Language Science Press, 2019. Ch. 11 P. 295–314.
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 ...

Phonology of Mehweb
Moroz G., , in: The Mehweb language: Essays on phonology, morphology and syntax.: Berlin: Language Science Press, 2019. Ch. 3 P. 17–37.
In this paper, I describe the phonetic inventory of Mehweb, consonants and vowels, as well as the main productive alternations. Two separate sections treat the rules of syllable placement and gives a preliminary treatment of pharyngealization. In Mehweb, pharyngealization is a feature which extends the basic vowel inventory [i, e, a, u] to include [oˁ] ...

Aspectual Stems in Three East Caucasian Languages
Daniel M., , in: The semantics of verbal categories in Nakh-Daghestanian languages: Tense, aspect, evidentiality, mood and modalityVol. 16.: Leiden: Brill, 2018. P. 247–266.
The morphology of aspect in many East Caucasian languages is usually described in terms of two aspectual stems. One stem, called ‘perfective’, derives perfective forms, including perfective past (i.e. aorist), perfective converb, perfective participle and other forms. The other stem, called ‘imperfective’, derives imperfective forms, including e.g. imperfective past (i.e. imperfect) and imperfective present, imperfective ...

The paper describes the morphology of the verb in Mehweb, a Dargwa lect of central Daghestan, Russia. The description is partly based on previous research (Magometov 1986, Sumbatova unpublished) and partly on the field data the author has been collecting from 2009 to the present. Mostly, formal morphology of synthetic verb forms and complex verbs ...

Черная кошка грамматикализации: конструкции с глаголом ‘найти’ в дагестанских языках
Maisak T., Daniel M., В кн.: ЕВРика! Сборник статей о поисках и находках к юбилею Е.В. Рахилиной.: М.: Лабиринт, 2018. С. 120–149.
В статье рассматриваются конструкции с вспомогательным глаголом ‘найти’, отмечаемые в некоторых языках Дагестана: аваро-андийских, цезских, арчинском и некоторых даргинских. В зависимости от формы вспомогательного глагола конструкции имеют типологически взаимосвязанные, но существенно различные функции — они выражают личную засвидетельствованность (обнаружение ситуации), эпистемическую оценку (вероятность) и протасис гипотетического условного оборота. Насколько нам известно, по крайней мере последние ...

The Mehweb "assertive" copula gʷa: a sketch of a portrait
Lander Yu., / NRU HSE. Series WP BRP "Linguistics". 2016. No. 47/LNG/2016.
In this paper, I consider the syntactic property of the Mehweb predicative marker gʷa. This is a particle that serves as a finite predicate, supplementing the auxiliary in periphrastic form - a phenomenon attested in a number of East Caucasian languages. What is less common - or at least less documented - are the rules ...
