Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

Homonymous Roots Between Exegesis and Textual Criticism: The Case of חבלי־מות and חבלי שאול in Ps 18,5-6

Biblica. 2024. Vol. 105. No. 4. P. 494–505.
Yurovitskaya M.

Discussing the variants חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 and משברי־מות in 2 Sam 22,5 I join Talmon in considering them not transmission errors, but synonymous readings. However, I demonstrate that the equating of these two terms as both denoting “birth pangs” is not attested in the Hebrew Bible but is a later exegetical development. I argue that חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 should be interpreted as “destructions of death” (from the root ḫbl). In this sense, it constitutes an appropriate synonymous pairing for משברי־מות  “breakers of death”, and its juxtaposition with the expression חבלי שאול “cords of Sheol” in verse 6 is an intended wordplay.

Гармония гласных и звукосимволизм в нганасанском языке
Гусев В. Ю., Языки и фольклор коренных народов Сибири 2025 Т. 56 № 4 С. 90–99
В нганасанском языке существует сложная система чередования гласных в суффиксах, которая восходит к противопоставлению переднего и заднего рядов, но в результате многих передвижений гласных лишилась фонетической мотивации. Из всех суффиксов есть один глагольный, который, присоединяясь к корням, выражающим визуально наблюдаемые свойства, способен принимать гласные обоих сингармонических классов, соответственно меняя гласные и всех аффиксов, следующих за ...

Рассматриваются формы сравнительной степени прилагательных, которые возникли в диалектахсеверных тунгусо-маньчжурских языков. Морфологическая сравнительная степень ‒ типологически довольно редкое явление, которое отсутствует, в том числе, в большинстве языков Сибири. Однако во многих диалектах эвенкийского, эвенского и негидальского языков эти формы появились, грамматикализовавшись в континентальных диалектах из селективного показателя, а в быстринском эвенском (Камчатка) ‒ из аттенуатива. ...

В статье рассматриваются модели образования числительных второго десятка (с 11 до 19) в языках Сибири. «Простая» модель, в которой эти числительные образуются соположением слова ‘десять’ и количества единиц («десять один», «десять два» и т.д.), характерна для языков юга Сибири, но проникает также на север восточнее Енисея и на восток Якутии.

Oscillatory dynamics of inflectional processing: teasing apart defaultness and productivity effects in Russian verbs
Bursov K., Slioussar N., Kokhova M. et al., Brain and Language 2026 Vol. 275 Article 105719
Previous EEG studies demonstrated ample evidence for a major influence of morphological regularity on inflectional processing. However, regularity effects may be attributed to different properties of inflectional classes: to type frequency, to productivity, or to defaultness (assumed only in some models). In many languages, these factors cannot be teased apart, but it is possible in ...

Syntactic subordination affects discourse accessibility and subjective propositional importance: evidence from Russian
Bursov K., Slioussar N., Discourse Processes 2025 Vol. 62 No. 3 P. 155–176
Various coordinating and subordinating conjunctions that connect clauses differ in their structural properties. Such properties seem to influence dis course prominence: references to antecedents from main clauses are more frequent than from subordinate. Structurally, coordinate and subordinate clauses, as well as in-between cases, can be distinguished based on the degree of integration to the host ...

A Note on Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX
Yurovitskaya M., Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 2026 Vol. 138 No. 3 P. 392–400
I propose to relate the puzzling rendering of סָבְאָם  as Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX to the only other occurrence of סֹבֶא  “strong drink, wine, or beer”, Isa 1:22, where the term is translated in the LXX as οἱ κάπηλοι “retailers”. Given that כְּנַעֲנִי  “Canaanite” functioned as a designation for “trader”, I argue that both verses ultimately reflect ...

The crystallization of apocalyptic and eschatological ideas in the Jewish tradition began during the Babylonian captivity and continued during the Second Temple period.

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words. In contrast to the hypothesis of a direct influence of the early forms of Targumim on the LXX, I believe that these versions rather reflect a common approach to the interpretation of biblical texts, as ...

Translation of Hebrew tenses in the Greek Psalter: choosing between past, present, and future
Seleznev M., Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS) 2024 Vol. 57 P. 73–93
In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the ...
