'Cultural Studies Seeks to Understand What Lies Beneath the Surface of Everyday Things'
Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Road Injuries Leading Cause of Death Among Men Aged 10 to 39
Worldwide, road injuries are the leading cause of death among males aged 10–39. An international team of researchers reached this conclusion as part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023, analysing data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2023. Their findings have been published in The Lancet Public Health, with HSE University Professor Vasily Vlassov listed among the collaborators.

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.

Sukhovo-Kobylin (1817-1903), a playwright, was ahead of his time; his harsh laughter, descriptions of absurd reality in the trilogy "Pictures of the Past" (1869) and prophecies turned out to be consonant with the turning points of the twentieth century. The synthesis of dramatic, tragic and comic (satire and farce), grotesque elements makes Sukhovo-Kobylin's plays one ...

Proceedings of the 11th Workshop on Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC 2026)
Association for Computational Linguistics, 2026.
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized NLP, they remain prone to hallucinations, reasoning “mode-collapse” in open-ended generation, and a lack of factual provenance. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop addresses a key missing piece of the generative era: structured knowledge. Knowledge Bases (KBs) serve as ground truth for fact verification, the semantic backbone ...

Сверхотчуждаемая посессивность в тунгусо-маньчжурских языках в типологической перспективе
Buzanov A., Известия РАН. Серия литературы и языка 2026 Т. 85 № 5 С. 115–127
Typologies of possessive systems usually distinguish lexical and semantic splits between inalienable and alienable possession. Much less attention has been paid to the next boundary on the extended scale, namely the boundary between alienable and super-alienable possession. This article shows that Tungusic constructions with the suffix -ŋ(V) represent a semantic realization of precisely this type ...

Ветер перемен: система глаголов поля ‘менять’ в русском языке в синхронии и (микро) диахронии
Ovchinnikova A., Reznikova T., Ryzhova D. et al., Acta Linguistica Petropolitana. Труды института лингвистических исследований 2026 Т. 22 № 1 С. 68–133
The paper describes the system of verbs of change in the Russian language against a typological background within the frame approach to lexical typology. In Russian, this system can be qualified as dominant: the imperfective verb menyat(sya) and its prefixed perfective derivative menyat(sya) cover most of the frames in the field. At the same time, in ...

The article introduces a thematic issue on the lexical typology of the semantic field ‘change’ and provides an overview of its structure and colexifi cation patterns. The study uses a frame-based approach, under which lexical meanings are analyzed through sets of recurrent situations (frames). The core of this approach lies in investigating cross-linguistic variation by examining ...

Цифровая среда может выступать не только каналом трансмиссии устной памяти или хранилищем разрозненных воспоминаний, целенаправленно или стихийно создаваемых каждым, кто пользуется смартфоном.

The role of extralinguistic knowledge in the derivation of scalar implicatures
Zevakhina N., Ponomareva P., Krasnoschekova S., Acta linguistica Petropolitana 2025 Vol. 21 No. 2 P. 270–286
The paper reports on an experimental study that reveals a difference between two types of under-informative utterances with the quantifier “nekotoryj” (‘some’) in Russian. The experiment was conducted as an inference task based on [Geurts, Pouscoulous 2009; Val Tiel et al. 2016] with some modifications. The experiment showed that both types of utterances more often have inference-based interpretations rather than ...

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 ...

Экспериментальные исследования в области прагматических импликатур (как одно из направлений лингвистической прагматики)

The paper discusses the results of a series of experimental studies on scalar inferences, which is part of linguistic pragmatics. The findings argue for intrascalar and interscalar diversity of scalar inferences. Moreover, it shows that adjectival scalar inferences are derived at a relatively low rate. ...

Ignorance and uncertainty: influences on Future-oriented technology analysis

Future-oriented Technology Analysis (FTA) deals in phenomenological ignorance of three kinds (known unknowns, unknown knowns and unknown unknowns) that give rise to its basis in subjective opinion. These invade both the qualitative and quantitative information co-joined to create outcomes for policy and management in all the STEEPV (Social, Technological, Economic, Ecology, Politics and Values and ...
