P. 100–111.
Beletskiy S.
This paper presents the system of nominal demonstratives in Cigogo language spoken in Tanzania. The system includes 4 sets of forms build by reduplication of the pronominal prefix that is further suffixed with formants no, o, lya. Besides the special deictic (proximal, medial, distant to/from speaker/hearer) and anaphoric functions, they fulfill a wide range of discourse functions: anaphoric, cataphoric, recognitional, transposed.

East Caucasian languages, Kina Rutul (Lezgic) and Mehweb Dargwa (Dargwa). Both languages
lack dedicated third-person pronouns and employ demonstratives anaphorically in both
pronominal and adnominal positions. Data from thirteen Kina Rutul and nine Mehweb Dargwa
Pear Stories show that the default demonstrative (in terms of ...

The article examines placeholder nouns (штука, фигня, хреновина, etc.) in Russian colloquial speech. These words can function similarly to pronouns by substituting for other words, but their range of functions is much broader than that of pronouns. The study analyzes two groups of vague reference words: initially neutral ones (штука, вещь, дело) and initially evaluative ...

В статье анализируется полисемия суффиксов существительных, обозначающих деятеля, в шести славянских языках (русском, украинском, польском, чешском, сербском и словенском) с использованием «метонимического» подхода к словообразованию, разработанного Л. Яндой (2011). Рассматриваются семантические особенности глаголов, к которым могут присоединяться суффиксы, обозначающие деятеля, и описываются семантические типы, представленные производными существительными. В работе показано, что суффиксы имени деятеля служат ...

The paper examines demonstrative systems in Ashqarawa Abaza and Temirgoy West Circassian. The study is based on an experiment using the questionnaire [Wilkins 2018], which identifies parameters affecting the choice of demonstratives. Despite certain differences, both systems are similar in that they show the relevance of distance from the speaker, association with the addressee, and ...

Whereas the influence of visual information on the activation of manual affordances is well-documented, far less attention has been given to the specific role of language in modulating affordance activation. Several studies have shown that nouns referring to graspable objects can trigger affordance simulations, whereas action verbs may facilitate related motor responses. However, there is ...

Automatic morpheme segmentation algorithms are applicable in various tasks, such as building tokenizers and language education. For Slavic languages, the development of such algorithms is complicated by the rich derivational capabilities of these languages. Previous research has shown that, on average, these algorithms have already reached expert-level quality. However, a key unresolved issue is the ...

Such affixes are predominantly attached to substantive bases and form derivatives with the meaning of ‘possessing X’ and ‘deprived of X’, respectively.
The first part of the study is devoted to the comparison of ...

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 paper I discuss the use of demonstratives in Old Iranian languages. On the basis of the deictic semantics of demonstratives, the boundaries of suppletive paradigms are defined. For the first time, the correspondence of each paradigm to a particular type of deixis is established on Old Iranian data. Using this data, as well ...
