This study focuses on the relationship between language and identity in the Republic of Karelia in recent years. There are several indigenous peoples living in Karelia whose languages are in the process of a language shift. According to the 2010 Russian census, Karelians and Veps are minority populations of Karelia, while the Karelian and Vepsian languages are native to even smaller populations. This language situation has developed because of the Soviet policy of assimilation and Russification, and because of the linguistic diversity of the region. Residents of Karelia express different opinions about the languages of Karelia, note the invisibility of the Karelian and Vepsian languages, and worry about their status. In the context of language shift, the main concern for people is the preservation of a culture that is unconditionally associated with languages and ethnicities.

В нганасанском языке существует сложная система чередования гласных в суффиксах, которая восходит к противопоставлению переднего и заднего рядов, но в результате многих передвижений гласных лишилась фонетической мотивации. Из всех суффиксов есть один глагольный, который, присоединяясь к корням, выражающим визуально наблюдаемые свойства, способен принимать гласные обоих сингармонических классов, соответственно меняя гласные и всех аффиксов, следующих за ...

Рассматриваются формы сравнительной степени прилагательных, которые возникли в диалектахсеверных тунгусо-маньчжурских языков. Морфологическая сравнительная степень ‒ типологически довольно редкое явление, которое отсутствует, в том числе, в большинстве языков Сибири. Однако во многих диалектах эвенкийского, эвенского и негидальского языков эти формы появились, грамматикализовавшись в континентальных диалектах из селективного показателя, а в быстринском эвенском (Камчатка) ‒ из аттенуатива. ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Previous EEG studies demonstrated ample evidence for a major influence of morphological regularity on inflectional processing. However, regularity effects may be attributed to different properties of inflectional classes: to type frequency, to productivity, or to defaultness (assumed only in some models). In many languages, these factors cannot be teased apart, but it is possible in ...

The defense of gay rights and other liberal values by some right-wing populists is often perceived as an opportunistic strategy to justify anti-Muslim policies. But this explanation for co-optation of liberal values by parties that are considered to be in conflict with liberalism circumvents a proper analysis of the phenomenon. I will therefore investigate this ...
