The article examines the emergence of a distinctive definiteness system in Faroese, featuring two free-standing definite “adjectival” articles, tann and hin. Unlike familiar systems that distinguish “weak” and “strong” definiteness through distinct forms, the distribution of tann and hin is typically attributed to register, with hin linked to formal usage and high style. Analysis of the Faroese Gospels reveals stable and variable contexts for ...

This article examines two functions of the suffix -samae in the Pur dialect of Forest Nenets based on fieldwork data: comitative (expression of jointness: ‘with X’) and scalar additive (focus particle with the meaning ‘even X’). The comitative use of the suffix -samae primarily marks an inanimate companion. However, its use is also possible with other types ...

The article examines instances of inconsistent anaphoric article usage in the Gothic language. Gothic (4th century CE, East Germanic) exemplifies a language at the initial anaphoric stage of article grammaticalization, where the proto-article pronoun should appear consistently after a referent's first mention—yet violations occur. Beyond literature-documented cases involving locative nouns and terms for ‘multitudes’ of animate ...

The article discusses manual and non-manual means used to express the modal meanings of possibility
and necessity in Russian Sign Language (RSL). It is shown that due to the combination of manual
signs, non-manual markers, and means of non-concatenative morphology (in particular, manner
of movement), RSL is able to express subtle shades of modal semantics. RSL also clearly ...

When teaching Japanese as a foreign language, it is customary to explain grammatical markers that convey the meanings of wish and invitation to joint action separately from each other. Meanwhile, comparing these markers for a more accurate understanding of the speaker's intentions, as well as the variability of the context of their use, can be ...

Предлагаемая книга представляет собой введение в формальную семантику — раздел языкознания, в котором посредством построения математически строгих моделей исследуется, как предложения приобретают значение и способность передавать информацию в зависимости от своей структуры и значений составляющих их слов. Классические теоретические идеи Г. Фреге, Д. Льюиса, Д. Каплана и др. излагаются современным языком, а при разработке нотации акцент сделан на том, ...

В статье рассматривается конструкция, состоящая из императивной формы глагола и отрицательного оборота не хочу (Vimp — не хочу), и ее развитие с XIX в., когда она впервые встречается в Национальном корпусе русского языка. Для ранних реализаций конструкции характерен ограниченный набор глаголов, выступающих в императивной позиции (прежде всего ешь и пей), тем самым выражение в этот период может быть квалифицировано как ...

The article is dedicated to the morphosyntactic properties and grammatical functions of the Shughni marker -ard. Shughni, like many other Iranian languages, has a reduced case system that seems to be gradually evolving and expanding. We demonstrate that the marker -ard is one of the main candidates for the status of a new case marker ...

The paper examines two interrelated topics from Chukchi phonetics: the status of the glottal stop as a segment or prosody and the rules for stem doubling in incomplete reduplications that form the nominative singular. We create a database comprising 181 inflectional reduplications. Reduplications containing a glottal stop and therefore located “at the junction” of these ...

This study presents a typological comparison of verbal caritive constructions in Russian, English, French, Norwegian, Spanish and Khanty based on elicited data from native speakers. By caritive we understand a grammatical category denoting the absence of an expected participant, the absentee, in the situation. Caritive nominal marking combines with a verbal component to form new ...

The article considers the options for using information technologies in teaching foreign languages using a polymodal approach. The relevance of the integration of information technologies is emphasized, since they allow not only to develop language skills, but also to transform the way the material is presented, providing opportunities for its differentiation and individualization. Within the ...
