Case marking in Russian eventive nominalisations revisited
Russian linguistics. 2020. Vol. 44. No. 2. P. 157-175.
Rudnev P., Volkova A. A.
In this paper, we analyse case marking in Russian eventive nominalisations recently discussed in Pereltsvaig et al. (2018) with regards to two competing theories of case: the Inherent Case Theory (Woolford 2006; Woolford 2009) and the Dependent Case Theory (Marantz 1991). We contest the view that Russian eventive nominalisations display ergative alignment (Koptjevskaja-Tamm 1993) and argue that Russian is a nominative-accusative language across the board. We propose an analysis for the syntax of Russian eventive nominalisations and show that, contrary to Pereltsvaig et al. (2018), they are in principle incapable of disproving the DCT. The resulting analysis is trivially compatible with the DCT.

The paper concerns the main syntactic and semantic features of a basic converb in the Tundra Nenets language. According to certain classifications, the converb in Tundra Nenets should be regarded as a non-canonical, varying-subject, and contextual converb. It retains most verbal properties, and could be regularly built on the basis of any verbal stem. The ...

The category of person has both inflectional and lexical aspects, and the
distinction provides a finely graduated grammatical trait, relatively stable in both
families and areas, and revealing for both typology and linguistic geography.
Inflectional behavior includes reference to speech-act roles, indexation of arguments,
discreteness from other categories such as number or gender, assignment
and/or placement in syntax, arrangement in ...

The Meaning-Text Theory is a holistic linguistic theory characterized in particular by the central position of the lexicon, the primacy of semantics, the importance of the communicative structure (= information structure), and the reliance on dependencies on all levels.

The article focuses on complement clauses of nominalizations (deverbal
and deadjectival nouns) in Russian. It is proposed that several parameters,
such as semantic role, the opposition of proper argument vs. modifier, the
opposition of complex event vs. result nominals are necessary to account for
the distribution of nouns that take vs. do not take complement clauses, and
neither of them ...

Aims and Scope
Earlier empirical studies on valency have looked at the phenomenon either in individual languages or a small range of languages, or have concerned themselves with only small subparts of valency (e.g. transitivity, ditransitive constructions), leaving a lacuna that the present volume aims to fill by considering a wide range of valency phenomena across ...

This paper focuses on semantics and syntax of two attributivizers in Kazym Khanty. Both of the attributivizers have proprietive semantics and attach to a small nominal rather than a full DP. Proprietives are not completely interchangeable, therefore the difference between them is also explored in this paper. Moreover, we are going to show that both ...

This study considers the use of the subjunctive in universal conditional concession (UCC) clauses of the
type Kto by ni prishel, vsekh puskali (‘Whoever would come was admitted’). In these contexts, the use of the
subjunctive cannot be explained by the irrealis component of its semantics, because it can be substituted
with the indicative and apparently introduces real ...

The Russian subjunctive particle by can be used in constructions that lack any finite verb form, such as constructions with infinitives, predicative adverbs, predicative adjectives, nouns and other nominal parts of speech. I compare the properties of these constructions and argue that all verbless subjunctives share a common semantic component – a positive evaluation of ...

This short remark documents exceptions to the main strategy of expressing sentential negation in Russian Sign Language (RSL). The postverbal sentential negation particle in RSL inverts the basic SVO order characteristic of the language turning it into SOV (Pasalskaya 2018a). We show that this reversal requirement under negation is not absolute and does not apply ...

Background
Implicit-statistical learning (ISL) research investigates whether domain-general mechanisms are recruited in the linguistic processes that require manipulation of patterned regularities (e.g. syntax). Aphasia is a language disorder caused by focal brain damage in the left fronto-temporal-parietal network. Research shows that people with aphasia (PWA) with frontal lobe lesions manifest convergent deficits in syntax and ISL mechanisms. ...

In Russian negative sentences the verb’s direct object may appear either in Accusative case which is licensed by the verb (as is common cross-linguistically) or in Genitive case which is licensed by the negation (Russian-specific ‘Genitive-of-Negation’ phenomenon). Such sentences were used to investigate whether case marking is employed for anticipating syntactic structure, and whether lexical ...
