Semantic Continuity in a Cross-Linguistic Perspective: Evidence from Slavic Verbs of Pulling and Pushing
Jezikoslovni Zapiski. 2022. Vol. 28. No. 1. P. 55–67.
Sherstyuk A., Reznikova T.
This article presents some results of cross-linguistic research on verbs of pushing and pulling in nine Slavic languages. These data call into question the traditional notion of the semantic field as a clear-cut class of lexical units. It is shown that, due to semantic adjacency, fields may overlap, so that in different languages the same event may be described by verbs that would be assigned to different semantic fields in the traditional approach. The violation of inter-field boundaries is evidenced by both synchronic and diachronic data.
Dezi A., Sesto San Giovanni: Mimesis, 2026.
This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

Файзов Д., М.: Новое литературное обозрение, 2026.
Новая книга Д. Файзова пронизана голосами других поэтов. Речь не о расхожей постмодернистской центонности. Это микроинтертекстуальность на уровне конкретных слов и приемов, коллаж осколков чужих голосов, однако таких осколков, которые сохраняют способность отсылать к целому и к тому же вписаны — вклеены на манер аппликации — в узнаваемую интонацию самого поэта. Данил Файзов—поэт, культуртрегер, редактор. ...

This article examines the manuscript tradition of Kallistos Angelikoudes’ Hesychastic consolation, a fluid and complex corpus of thirty Logoi preserved primarily in Vat. gr. 736. The authors survey all known witnesses—including the autograph Barb. gr. 420, the Lond. Arund. 520, and several later copies—and analyze their textual relationships, variant readings, and codicological features. They demonstrate ...

The paper describes the construction litso takoy-to natsionalnosti ‘a person of such-and-such an ethnicity’ in Russian with its semantic and pragmatic characteristics. The purpose of the study is to trace the appearance of the construction and analyse how it is used and how it is perceived. Three expressions representing this construction are considered in more ...

In recent years, the researchers working on Uralic languages within Minimalism seem to have built a consensus on how to define the
position of negation in any language with a negative verb. The main and usually the only argument is based on the work [Mitchell 2006].
The argument is as follows: if the negative verb expresses tense, ...

This paper presents experimental evidence for the over-specification (redundant use) of Thai postnominal
numerals in referential communication. The first experiment reveals high rates of over-specification
in oral responses that include Thai postnominal and Russian prenominal numerals tested in a contrastive
multi-number visual context. The second experiment demonstrates lower but still relatively high
rates of over-specification in written responses that ...

Настоящая работа посвящена исследованию употреблений испанского глагола resultar ‘оказываться’ в рамках эвиденциального подхода и подхода возникновения нового знания, представленных в литературе. Согласно первому подходу, глагол resultar передает
инферентивное значение: субъект оценки делает умозаключение на основании наблюдаемых
результатов. Сторонники второго подхода считают основным компонентом семантики глагола
возникновение нового знания, а инферентивное значение объясняется воздействием других
элементов контекста. В работе каждый ...

The paper reports on an experimental study that reveals a difference
between two types of under-informative utterances with the quantifier “nekotoryj”
(‘some’) in Russian. The experiment was conducted as an inference task based on [Geurts,
Pouscoulous 2009; Val Tiel et al. 2016] with some modifications. The experiment
showed that both types of utterances more often have inference-based interpretations
rather than ...

The paper demonstrates that the Russian particle mol exhibits a combination of properties associated
with direct, indirect, and free indirect discourse (FID). First, mol-clauses license shiftable linguistic
items (adverbial indexicals, expressive speech acts, imperatives, evaluative lexical items) not
only in FID, as typically assumed for such linguistic items, but also in indirect discourse. Second,
first- and second-person pronouns in ...

The paper investigates Russian interrogatives and exclamatives with multiple wh-phrases based on two experiments, with additional support of the data from the Russian National Corpus. Since exclamatives are often viewed parallel to interrogatives, it is important to study both types of clauses with multiple wh-phrases alongside and to look for similarities and/or differences in their ...

Using syntactic embeddability diagnostics, the paper demonstrates that Russian wh-exclamatives
with the quotation particle mol and/or with the complementizer čto are embeddable and thus
contributes to the ongoing theoretical and cross-linguistic discussion of embedded wh-exclamatives
and their (in)subordination status. This analysis is applicable to rhetorical questions (with the quotation
particle mol and/or with the complementizer čto), which are traditionally ...

This paper focuses on the main verbs of change in Finnish — muuttaa, vaihtaa and korvata and their frequentative derivatives. The verbs are analysed within the frame-based approach to lexical typology, which suggests that a semantic field can be divided into several situation types, or frames. Lexemes map differently onto the frames in the world’s ...

В статье описываются глаголы фрейма «падение» в каратинском языке. Этот фрейм обслуживают восемь глаголов, из которых глагол t’araɬa ‘упасть’ — доминантный и может быть употреблен в большинстве ситуаций падения. Остальные глаголы семантической зоны падения — узкоспециализированные, предназначенные для описания ситуаций падения с одним (реже несколькими) ярко выраженными признаками. Так, karaɬa ‘опрокинуться’ используется для описания ситуаций ...

This paper discusses the frame method developed by Moscow lexical typology group in application to pragmatic constructions, namely, discourse formulae (idiomatic answers like Fair enough or You bet!). The methods of data collection and analysis are illustrated with a case study of negative discourse formulae in four Slavic languages. The study shows how the field of negation is organized, and how answering strategies differ in ...

This paper investigates the use of the Russian verb padat’ ‘to fall’ and its quasi-synonyms. Padat’ is dominant in the system of Russian predicates of falling — and therefore should be suitable for describing any type of uncontrolled downward motion. However, in a number of contexts a diff erent means of expression is required. These ...

The paper examines the semantic domain of ‘pushing’ on the material of 8 Slavic languages. We focus on the cases where the zone of caused motion intersects with adjacent fields. The analysis shows that lexical contiguity occurs at two levels. First, at a synchronic level: lexemes that refer to a caused motion event may also cover ...

The paper outlines the basics of data collection, analysis and visualization under the frame-based approach to lexical typology and illustrates its methodology using the data of cross-linguistic research on verbs of falling. The framework reveals several challenges to semantic map modelling that usually escape researchers’ attention. These are: (1) principles of establishing lexical comparative concepts; (2) ...
