Specific restrictions on the use of byt’-passive in Russian: The reality restriction
RHEMA. 2023. No. 4. P. 101–116.
The article focuses on a specific restriction on the use of Russian past
passive forms with an auxiliary (byl postroen ‘was built’, byla svarena ‘was
cooked’) in embedded clauses. These forms are known to differ from
forms without an auxiliary (postroen ‘is/was built’, svarena ‘is/was cooked’)
by the absence of resultative meaning component. However, it turns out that
other restrictions exist: forms with byt’ in embedded clauses disfavor irreality
and repeatedness contexts. I explain this saying that in general, forms with
an explicit for of byt’ prefer to be used when the situation has taken place
in reality (this generalization also excludes repeated action contexts, because
they do not refer to a specific realized situation). I make a preliminary
conclusion that this generalization also manifests itself in independentc lauses. No reality-based restrictions are valid for passive forms without an auxiliary.

The determination of new words and meanings is a key issue in lexical history studies. However,
common reliance on identifying “the earliest examples” can be challenged by textual complexity and subjective
disagreements. Focusing on the emergence of the FAST meaning of kuai (快), this study proposes criteria for
identifying new meanings from the perspective of the lexical system. ...

The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of
11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative
connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly
observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are
identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) is one of the key episodes in the narratives of the Book of Genesis. In modern scholarship, various—often sharply divergent—datings of this pericope are proposed, as well as different interpretations of its place in the picture of the formation of the biblical text that was put ...

This book is a metaphysical inquiry into the nature and origin of the manifold. Taking Schelling’s Erlangen lectures of 1820–1821 as its point of departure and hermeneutic horizon, it develops an interpretation of Nomos that transcends its political, juridical, and social determinations. Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...

Это микроинтертекстуальность на уровне конкретных слов и приемов, коллаж осколков чужих голосов, однако таких осколков, которые сохраняют способность отсылать к целому и к тому же вписаны — вклеены на манер аппликации — в узнаваемую интонацию самого поэта.
