At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Towards pragmatic construction typology: The case of discourse formulae

Ch. 3. P. 35–63.
Bychkova P., Rakhilina E. V.

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 Russian, Polish, Slovene and Serbian. The results are addressed from the point of view of the theory of speech acts.

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, ...

К синтаксису клауз с аспектуальными глаголами в якутском языке
Баркова Л. А., Родной язык: лингвистический журнал 2026 № 1 С. 9–58
This article examines the syntax of constructions with aspectual verbs in Sakha (a.k.a. Yakut). Such constructions contain two predicates: a lexical verb which is a converb, and a finite aspectual verb that conveys some grammatical meaning. The syntax of such constructions has already been studied for some other Turkic languages. The pre‑ sent research examines ...

Слова фигушки и хренушки как специфическое средство выражения отрицания в русской разговорной речи
Nikishina E., Russian Linguistics 2026 Т. 50 Статья 4
The article examines the words фигушки and хренушки (derivatives of the vulgar words фиг and хрен) as specific means of expressing negation in Russian colloquial speech. They have two main uses: first, they function as an independent response – a refusal to do something (– Лучше вылезай! – Фигушки, вы драться будете ‘– You’d better get out! – No ...

The immediate and the naive metaphysics

In this article, I discuss Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer’s ideas about the nature of language and the metaphysical residue that seems to be present in the realm of immediate experience, despite all the criticism and success of positive knowledge. This includes, first and foremost, the ability to perceive objects, facts, and possible worlds which humans have from ...

Towards a typology of echo questions
Simonova T., Voprosy Jazykoznanija 2025 No. 3 P. 7–29
Over the past half century, the analysis of questions has played an important role in the development of the syntactic theory. Despite this, echo questions have been given quite little attention, and most studies on echo questions focused on data from a single language. In this paper, I review strategies of forming echo questions of different types in ...

This study presents a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of language models (LLMs) in detecting disagreement across a wide range of pragmatic strategies, from mitigated forms to overt verbal aggression. Special attention is given to complex cases of implicit manifestations of irony and sarcasm, which pose significant challenges for both automated analysis and interpersonal communication. ...

Building a Database of Conversational Routines

This paper discusses the Routinicon, a new constructicographic resource for the description of conversational routines. Conversational routines are defined as conventional formulaic expressions that language speakers use in standard extralinguistic situations (cf. Bless you! as a reaction to sneezing or Who’s there? as a typical answer to a knock on the door). The Routinicon’s goal ...

Kak že kak že! Russian discourse formula of confirmation as a marker of recognition
Ekaterina Rakhilina, Bychkova P., , in: Constructions with lexical repetitions in East Slavic.: De Gruyter Mouton, 2024. P. 197–222.
The chapter presents a case study of the repetition mechanism within the development of discourse formulae, i.e., multi-word formulaic replies similar to yes and no. It closely examines the process of pragmaticalization in the Russian formula Kak že! (‘how part’) and its duplicated counterpart. The diachronic corpus data shows that the formula Kak že! emerged ...

Deixis and Communication
Boris Uspenskij, Incontri Linguistici 2024 Vol. 47 No. 3 P. 99–123
Human communication consists in exchanging information between communicants. Communicants depart from their personal subjective perception of the objective reality, based on their individual understandings, impressions, and associations. Exchanging information means to realign such personal perceptions with each other. How can two speakers be certain that they understand the words in one and the same way? ...

In this work, I show the perspectives revealed for analysis of the problem of scepticism regarding meaning (‘the Kripke’s problem’) by usage of the categories of linguistic pragmatics (performativity, the distinction of locution, illocution and perlocution). I provide a critical analysis of the argumentation against scepticism proposed by V. A. Ladov and E. V. Borisov, who appeal to performative ...

Negative concord in fragments: Reexamining the evidence against the negativity of negation markers
Rudnev P., Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 2024 Vol. 9 No. 1 P. 1–21
I argue that particular restrictions on the recoverability of elided negation in fragment answers in negative-concord languages follow from the semantics of questions. Drawing parallels with other ellipsis phenomena, I also highlight the role of Agree in making certain elided heads recoverable. This invalidates a major argument against the analysis of negative-concord items as universal ...

Creating a corpus labeled with dialog acts is one of the most difficult tasks in corpus linguistics. Dialog acts can reflect various aspects of the utterances in the dialogues, but most often represent the pragmatic intentions of the speaker or the features of the dialog discourse. The pragmatic and discourse functions of one utterance can ...
