Lexical systems with systematic gaps: verbs of falling
Folia Linguistica. 2024. Vol. 58. No. 1. P. 191–226.
The paper contributes to the typology of encoding motion events by highlighting the role of the verbal root meaning in lexicalization of motion. We focus on lexical semantics of the verbs of falling, which we study on a sample of 42 languages using the frame-based approach to lexical typology. We show that, along with downward motion, the verbs of falling regularly denote adjacent situations; and vice versa, the idea of downward motion is systematically conveyed by verbs from adjacent semantic fields. These findings challenge the application of the classical parameters of motion events (e.g. Path) to any given motion event description and offer new insights into the understanding of lexicalization patterns in general.

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

The article focuses on the study of the onym as a cognitive stimulus that facilitates the decoding of the language of urban space across two ethnic groups. The research is grounded in the analysis of results from an onomastic associative experiment, aimed at identifying the dominant types of associative responses to anthroponyms, oikodonyms, hodonyms, and ...

The study focuses on a previously unrecorded model of split agreement in the mirative paradigm in Kazym Khanty. Split agreement is found when comparing active and passive mirative constructions, as well as
in a limited set of uses of non-finite forms. In the passive voice, unlike the active voice, the 3rd person is unmarked and the ...

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 ...

Традиционно в литературе, посвящённой лексической полисемии, обсуждают два основных механизма семантических сдвигов — метафору и метонимию. Метафора подробно исследовалась в применении к разным лексическим классам, тогда как метонимия изучалась в основном на материале существительных. При обсуждении метонимии на глагольном материале [Падучева 2004; Кустова 2004] различают два класса переходов: обусловленных перепрофилированием аргументной структуры и смежностью разных фаз ...

The article examines Russian verbs of disappearance analyzing their semantic and syntactic properties. These verbs are classified as “underdetermined predicates” similar to verbs of hiding and searching as they do not specify the exact process of disappearance only indicating its result. Unlike verbs of searching and hiding, verbs of disappearance do not describe associated processes ...

The Old Assyrian language belongs to the East Semitic, a language group extinct since approximately 400 BCE. The Old Assyrian texts used in this study were authored by Assyrian merchants between 1890 and 1860 BCE in North- ern Mesopotamia and Central Anatolia. Despite the obvious limitations of working with an extinct language, i.e., the lack ...

The paper is devoted to the basic principles of verbal colexification defined at the cross-linguistic
level. We understand colexification as a non-random association of two or more meanings within one
and the same lexical item. We argue that these associations, reproducing in different languages, should
follow certain principles and form clear patterns. Drawing on our extensive experience of ...

This paper focuses on the main verbs of change in Finnish — muuttaa, vaihtaa and korvata and their frequentative derivatives. The verbs are analysed within the frame-based approach to lexical typology, which suggests that a semantic field can be divided into several situation types, or frames.
