Doctoral Student at HSE University Reveals Hidden Layout of Ancient Parion
İdil Malgil, a researcher at HSE University, conducted a UAV-based LiDAR survey of the ancient Roman city of Parion in present-day Turkey. The high density of the scans allowed the team to detect subtle terrain features concealed beneath the ground and vegetation. The survey revealed traces of entire neighbourhoods, terraced structures, and walls that had remained invisible during routine excavations and could not be identified through aerial photography. The findings have been published in Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia.

The Russian Language in Soviet Russia in the 1920-30s

Journal of Educational and Social Research. 2013. Vol. 3. No. 7. P. 112–118.
Sorokina S. G., Musorina O. A.

The present inquiry addresses the problem of functional, stylistic and other changes in the Russian language in post-revolutionary Russia. This phenomenon known as “the Soviet language” is argued to have been a specific tool in building the new Soviet state with all its political, cultural and educational institutions. The research is based on comparative analysis method. The authors analyze the aims and results of the Soviet government policies applied to the state key institutions as well as the interdependence and interaction between the Soviet ideology and the language transformation. The investigation touches upon the historic background of political, economic and cultural changes after the Russian revolution of 1917. The main channels of ideological intervention are proved to have been school education, mass (proletarian) culture, mass media, penetration into the everyday life of the Soviet people. The findings reveal that the Soviet Russian language developed into one of the main Soviet propaganda tools due to the wide use of abbreviations, place names and clichés that turned it into a crucial factor in establishing “the right thinking” of the Soviet citizens.

Reanalysis is a part of ongoing everyday language use, a process through which language is reproduced and changed. Actualization refers to the processes through ...

Due to the ongoing process of rapid decrease in the number of spoken languages, one of the most urgent tasks of linguistics today is to document endangered languages. The data from insufficiently studied languages (which is often the case with endangered languages) allows linguists to enrich factual material of linguistics. This is particularly important for the development of ...

Language change concerning various levels of linguistic description, such as vocabulary, semantics, and language etiquette, serves as a major research topic within this project.

For this reason, we study the dynamics ...
