The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

Russian Disjunction To li To li and Obligatory Ignorance

Journal of Semantics. 2024. Vol. 41. No. 3-4. P. 401–410.
Ivlieva N.

In this paper, we explore the behavior of one complex disjunction in Russian that has some special properties that set it apart from other simple and complex disjunctions: it never gives rise to free choice inferences in environments in which other disjunctions do and under universal quantifiers it behaves different from other disjunctions. We show that the data resist an analysis in terms of wide scope disjunction and propose that those special properties are due to obligatory ignorance inferences associated with this disjunction. The paper provides one more argument for a grammatical theory of ignorance along the lines of Meyer 2013.

Juxtapositional vs. possessive-like encoding in Russian specificational constructions
Logvinova N., Russian linguistics 2026 Vol. 50 Article 11
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 ...

«Плоский мир» Т. Пратчетта глазами русскоязычного фандома
Кульков А. Н., Tsvetkova M. V., Вестник Томского государственного университета. Филология 2026 № 100 С. 158–173
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, ...

Dependent Plurality and the Theory of Scalar Implicatures: remarks on Zweig 2009
Ivlieva N., Journal of Semantics 2020 Vol. 37 No. 3 P. 425–454
Following a recent discussion in Fox and Spector 2018, this paper provides an argument for a particular view of the theory of scalar implicatures and exhaustification where exhaustification is only allowed if it alters the overall sentence meaning without weakening it. I show that this idea is helpful to make sense of the so-called dependent plural imterpreta tions, addressed ...

Семантические типы импликатур и условия их возникновения (на материале Корпуса газетных заголовков)

The paper aims at contributing to a typology of implicatures via their analysis in news headlines. By implicatures we mean cancellable implicit senses, irrespectively of whether they are inherent in lexical meanings or occur in certain contextual conditions. While generally implicatures are difficult to tie to a particular type of lexical environment, our analysis of ...

Scalar diversity
van Tiel B., van Miltenburg E., Zevakhina N. et al., Journal of Semantics 2016 No. 33 (1) P. 137–175
We present experimental evidence showing that there is considerable variation between the rates at which scalar expressions from different lexical scales give rise to upper-bounded construals. We investigated two factors that might explain the variation between scalar expressions: first, the availability of the lexical scales, which we measured on the basis of association strength, grammatical ...

The paper discusses the results of a series of experimental studies on scalar inferences, which is part of linguistic pragmatics.
