Researchers Discover How Spelling Errors Slow Down Reading in Russian
Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.

HSE Develops App for Assessing Phonological Processing in Children
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.

Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

Fronted topics, clefted foci and the parameter of integration into the clause

P. 112–123.
Lander Y.

The paper examines the similarities between two families of constructions: fronted nominal topics and clefted nominal foci. These may originate from the fact that both fronted nominal topics and clefted foci dissociate the expression of the information structure and the expression of the semantics associated with the relevant state-of-affair (SOA). These topics and foci can be said to vary both cross-linguistically and diachronically in the extent to which they are integrated into the clause describing the SOA. This approach provides an analysis for some typologically unusual constructions.

This paper considers dislocated topics in living West Caucasian (Abkhaz-Adyghe) languages, i.e. in West Circassian and Kabardian, Abkhaz and Abaza. We show that there are at least two grammaticalized constructions that introduce topics without integrating them into the subsequent clause. The first construction containing simple dislocated topics either leaves them unmarked or (in West Circassian ...

Русское местоимение ТАМ как средство анафоры к актанту
Letuchiy A., Вопросы языкознания 2021 Т. 2021 № 4 С. 72–90
The present article addresses a special use of the Russian locative pronoun tam: the use represented in examples like ‘I talked to her — no understanding of the situation there’. In those contexts, tam refers to a participant (usually animate), rather than a location. After a brief sketch of other uses, I describe the rules and restrictions on the ...

Collaborative Design and Manufacture: Information Structures for Team Formation and Coordination
Stalker I. D., Kazantsev N., , in: Graph Structures for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. GKR 2020Vol. 12640.: Springer, 2021. Ch. 1 P. 93–104.
Our interest here lies in supporting important, but routine and time-consuming activities that underpin success in highly distributed, collaborative design and manufacturing environments; and how information structuring can facilitate this. To that end, we present a simple, yet powerful approach to team formation, partner selection, scheduling and communication that employs a different approach to the ...

Статья посвящена анализу сравнительных конструкций в тексте хеттского эпоса «Песнь об Улликумми». В статье подробно рассматриваются примеры, включающие сравнение с семантикой симилятива («X как Y»), делается анализ контекста, позволяющий диагностировать сравнительный оборот в отсутствие специфических маркеров, в том числе в бессоюзных конструкциях (с соположением винительных падежей), рассматривается порядок слов в таких предложениях. Показано, что сравнение ...

Методы определения фокуса в мертвом языке: на пути к реконструкции праиндоевропейского синтаксиса

In this paper, I cover the problem of the topic and focus revealing in the sentences of Hittite and Ancient Greek, two of the earliest Indo-European languages attested in writing. Information structure revealing gives us clues not only to the placement of accent (which is highly relevant for Hittite phonology) but also to the reconstruction ...

The syntactic position of numerative complex in Indonesian
Netkachev I., Типология морфосинтаксических параметров 2018 Vol. 1 No. 2 P. 67–83
In Indonesian, numerative complex may either precede or follow the noun. In my work, I will show that two factors determine the position of the numerative complex: specificity and information structure. Information structure is also found to be significant for related constructions, i.e. those involving “floating” of numerals. I conclude that the position of numerals ...

Горномарийская частица =ok и грани эмфатической идентичности
Kozlov A., В кн.: Типология морфосинтаксических параметров. Материалы международной конференции "Типология морфосинтаксических параметров"-2017Вып. 4.: М.: Государственный институт русского языка им. А.С. Пушкина, 2017. С. 240–254.
Статья описывает семантику фокусной частицы =ok в горномарийском языке. Автор показывает, что эта частица вводит две пресуппозиции: исчер-пывающую пресуппозицию и пресуппозицию данности фокусного референта. Это предположение позволяет описать разные типы использования =ok, которые на первый взгляд кажутся разнородными. ...
