Brill's Journal of Afroasiatic Languages and Linguistics. 2021. Vol. 13. P. 239–287.
Soqotri is an understudied Semitic language belonging to the Modern South Arabian branch and spoken by the approximately 100,000 inhabitants of the island of Soqotra. The present contribution offers a list of verbs belonging to the so-called causative stem in Soqotri (a cognate of the Arabic stem IV), based on the analysis of the data in the two recently published volumes of the Soqotri oral literature as well as the fieldwork notes of the authors.

This article describes verbs denoting motion of liquid and dry substances in Slavic languages. The research explores how Slavic languages lexicalize different situations within the semantic field of substance motion and identifies the parameters that drive this lexicalization (e.g., type of substance, intensity and quantization of flow, and causation). Adjacent grammatical phenomena such as argument ...

Впервые делается попытка рассмотреть особенности фанфикшн как акта продуктивной рецепции, возникшего на основе цикла романов Терри Пратчетта о Плоском мире в России. Проведенный анализ показывает, что прежде всего авторы фанфиков стремятся передать стилистику и комическое начало оригинального цикла Пратчетта, вне зависимости от жанра и формата создаваемых ими произведений. Фикрайтеры наиболее часто обращаются к таким форматам, ...

This study investigates mixed languages, with a specific focus on their lexical characteristics. It proposes and substantiates the hypothesis that the degree of lexical mixing in such languages — reflected in the prevalence of doublets and the distribution of vocabulary between source languages — is linked to the specific pattern of their emergence, rather than ...

The majority of studies on the metrical aspects of Olga Sedakova’s poetry focus on the formal elements of versification, rarely exploring the substantive possibilities of the chosen metres. This paper fills this gap by analyzing the unified narrative of the four-foot amphibrach, tracing its development in Russian poetry from V.A. Zhukovsky to O.A. Sedakova. At ...

В статье анализируются две новеллы Исаака Бабеля начала 1930-х гг. о коллективизации -- «Гапа Гужва» и «Колывушка». Новеллы должны были стать частью цикла о коллективизации под общим названием «Великая Криница», однако замысел книги о преобразованиях в советской деревне оказался невоплощенным. В обеих новеллах Бабель показывает грандиозный проект модернизации колхозов как процесс, разрушающий существующий порядок и жизнь отдельно ...

Abstract: The article examines the characteristic features of the 13th century Spanish language (based on the collection of proverbs “Kalila and Dimna”), particularly the use of subjunctive mode: the future (Futuro del Subjuntivo) and the past (Imperfecto del Subjuntivo) of the conjunctive. Along with some other features of the Castilian romance morphological structure, the use ...

This article presents an edition of a Soqotri recursive (cumulative) exchange-tale about ‘Ali Bot‘il, a traditional hero of Soqotri folklore. The authors analyse Soqotri stories featuring ‘Ali Bot‘il as a trickster-like, roguish figure, alongside their South Arabian parallels. The tale is unusual in several respects: recursive tales as well as tales with actively functioning animal ...

Since the earliest studies on the Soqotri language (Modern South Arabian branch, Semitic family), it has been observed that a non-etymological h (labeled 'parasite h') often appears before the last vowel of nominal bases in some slots of their paradigm. Until now, the 'parasite h' has been thought to be related to vowel length (etymological or secondary). In the ...

In the paper we argue that the discontinuous past interpretation is a conversational implicature, which rise can be explained by the following chain of reasoning. Natural contexts where the Retro-Aorist is used are clauses that need another clause in the same sentence. Thus, if the Retro-Aorist form is uttered and no other clause appears in ...

It focuses on the correlation between the semantics of the source verb and that of the derived verb, examines the semantic classes which are compatible with the causative morpheme, and establishes several ...
