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.

‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

This article examines two functions of the suffix -samae in the Pur dialect of Forest Nenets based on fieldwork data: comitative (expression of jointness: ‘with X’) and scalar additive (focus particle with the meaning ‘even X’). The comitative use of the suffix -samae primarily marks an inanimate companion. However, its use is also possible with other types ...

Колебания в употреблении протоартикля при одушевленных функциональных именах в готском языке и проблема «анафорической стадии» грамматикализации артикля
Pimenova N., Индоевропейское языкознание и классическая филология 2026 Т. 30 № 2 С. 313–322
The article examines instances of inconsistent anaphoric article usage in the Gothic language. Gothic (4th century CE, East Germanic) exemplifies a language at the initial anaphoric stage of article grammaticalization, where the proto-article pronoun should appear consistently after a referent's first mention—yet violations occur. Beyond literature-documented cases involving locative nouns and terms for ‘multitudes’ of animate ...

Изучай – не хочу: от фиксированной идиомы к конструкции
Reznikova T., Анисимов А. Д., Русский язык в научном освещении 2025 № 1(49) С. 37–61
В статье рассматривается конструкция, состоящая из императивной формы глагола и отрицательного оборота не хочу (Vimp — не хочу), и ее развитие с XIX в., когда она впервые встречается в Национальном корпусе русского языка. Для ранних реализаций конструкции характерен ограниченный набор глаголов, выступающих в императивной позиции (прежде всего ешь и пей), тем самым выражение в этот период может быть квалифицировано как ...

Морфосинтаксический статус и семантика шугнанского показателя -ard: к развитию новых падежных маркеров в иранских языках
Падалка П. В., Ryzhova D., Чистякова Д. Г., Вопросы языкознания 2026 № 1 С. 40–58
The article is dedicated to the morphosyntactic properties and grammatical functions of the Shughni marker -ard. Shughni, like many other Iranian languages, has a reduced case system that seems to be gradually evolving and expanding. We demonstrate that the marker -ard is one of the main candidates for the status of a new case marker ...

О гортанных смычках и редупликации в чукотском языке
Sieber I., Starchenko A., Вопросы языкознания 2026 № 1 С. 105–135
The paper examines two interrelated topics from Chukchi phonetics: the status of the glottal stop as a segment or prosody and the rules for stem doubling in incomplete reduplications that form the nominative singular. We create a database comprising 181 inflectional reduplications. Reduplications containing a glottal stop and therefore located “at the junction” of these ...

The article highlights the main semantic and grammatical properties of locative nouns claiming the status of relational nouns in Shughni (an Eastern Iranian language spoken in the Pamirs). Firstly, I identify the main nouns belonging to this category on the basis of available grammars and examples from D. Karamshoev’s Shughni–Russian dictionary and the Shughni corpus. ...

О взаимодействии грамматикализации с грамматической системой: два случая супплетивной алломорфии в андийских языках
Filatov K., Известия РАН. Серия литературы и языка 2025 Т. 84 № 1 С. 101–113
This paper discusses two cases of suppletive allomorphy in Anchiq Karata and Chamalal languages. We analyze two diachronic scenarios that explain the development of suppletive allomorphy in perfective converb morphology. We introduce the concept of systemic effects, which are structural and substantive factors that impact the grammaticalization process. The case studies demonstrate that suppletive allomorphy ...

This paper focuses on comparing the grammaticalization of nonfinite verbal forms in Russian and Kazakh. As an example, we chose the forms of the visual perception verbs smotret’, glyadet’ and qara-; on the basis of these verbs, groups of function words with conditional, unconditional, and concessional semantics were formed in both languages. This study starts ...

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 ...

The so-called acquisitive modality or actuality, describing a successful realization of an action, is a largely understudied type of modal values. It is of significant interest both from the viewpoint of its grammaticalization paths and of a wide and rich variety of its lexical expression. The article discusses one of the main representatives of this ...

From an adverb/postposition ‘behind’ to a discourse marker: The particle reχu in Andi
Maisak T., , in: Discourse phenomena in typological perspective.: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2023. Ch. 5 P. 93–133.
The paper describes two uses of the discourse particle reχu in Andi (Nakh-Daghestanian, Avar-Andic), namely the consecutive, or sequential, use found in the non-final clauses of multiclausal sentences and reinforcing the idea of temporal sequence (‘and then’), and the pragmatic use with retrospective contrastive meaning, predominantly found in imperatives and questions. A diachronic scenario is proposed for ...

The paper deals with some features of Late Classical Chinese based on material from «Lunheng» (1st century AD), specifically, the process of 被 bèi grammaticalization and its possibility to be a distinctive context for noun lexemes. In modern Chinese, 被 bèi is a passive marker in sentences such as O 被 bèi SV. There is ...

Diagnosing Kazym Khanty unpossessives, or how to tell a synchronically independent marker from its diachronic source
Stiopa Mikhailov, Ural-Altaic Studies 2024 No. 4(55) P. 31–56
Uralic possessive agreement suffixes often develop determiner-like functions. Several authors have suggested monosemic analyses of such functions as derived from the basic possessive meaning. However, recent studies have argued that the functions they investigate must be treated as synchronically independent markers because they do not behave morphosyntactically in the same way that their corresponding proper ...
