Researchers Discover How Spelling Errors Slow Down Reading in Russian
Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.

HSE Develops App for Assessing Phonological Processing in Children
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.

Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

Translation of Hebrew tenses in the Greek Psalter: choosing between past, present, and future

Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS). 2024. Vol. 57. P. 73–93.
Seleznev M.

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 preceding context, and some by the translator’s attempt to take into account the meaning of the text. The study of the translator’s attempts to take into account the meaning of the text reveals certain discursive and narrative patterns governing his choice of tenses and casts doubts on other patterns that are sometimes ascribed to him.

Семантика необратимости в медиадискурсе ФРГ: эсхатологические коды и реакция аудитории в условиях кризиса
Moskvina Z. О., Вестник Российского университета дружбы народов. Серия: Литературоведение, журналистика 2026 Т. 31 № 2 С. 398–408
Abstract. This article explores the semantic and cognitive mechanisms governing the functioning of the lexeme “irreversibility” (Unumkehrbarkeit) within contemporary German media discourse covering the crisis in German-Russian relations. The study tests the hypothesis that the use of irreversibility semantics in the mass media serves as a rhetorical strategy intended to reinforce the perception of ongoing ...

Men and women are from the same planet Gender similarities in perspective-taking abilities
Imbault C., Slioussar N., Ivanenko A. et al., The Mental Lexicon 2026 P. 1–23
The study examines emotional responses to words representing a wide range of psychological valence and focuses on gender-related differences. We aimed to find out whether men and women differ in their emotional responses, and whether they can take the perspective of another gender. We used the slider paradigm (Warriner et al., 2017): participants saw a humanoid ...

Об одном из путей грамматикализации страдательных причастий прошедшего времени в славянских языках (на материале польского и русского языков)
Ermolova M., Вопросы языкознания 2026 № 4 С. 73–85
В статье сопоставляются процессы эволюции страдательного причастия прошедшего времени (СППВ) в неопределенно-личную финитную форму прошедшего времени в польском и старорусском языках. Рассматриваются типы контекстов СППВ, зафиксированные в истории русского языка, и типы польских употреблений с СППВ, которые связаны с формированием неопределенно-личной формы на -no/-to. В результате анализа материала обоих языков можно сделать вывод о том, ...

There is a scene in Pindar’s Pythian 9 that attracts much attention of scholars, not only because the erotic theme in general is unusual for Pindar, but also because in this scene neither the question that Apollo addresses Chiron, nor the answer that Chiron gives him, can be unambiguously interpreted. Does Apollo intend to commit open violence against Cyrene, or ...

LANGUAGE POLICY IN MULTIETHNIC COUNTRIES
-, 2026.
The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different story. Language policy ...

О генезисе жанра прозаического гимна в литературе Второй софистики в кн.: ПОЭТИКА БОГООБЩЕНИЯ: МИСТИЧЕСКИЕ ХРИСТИАНСКИЕ ТЕКСТЫ ОТ ПОЗДНЕЙ АНТИЧНОСТИ ДО XX ВЕКА

Настоящее исследование посвящено изучению и описанию жанра прозаического гимна, определению его места в системе жанров эпидейктического красноречия, а также генезису и развитию в позднеантичной риторической традиции. Оба вопроса — природа и становление данного жанра — тесно взаимосвязаны. Так, с одной стороны, полная характеристика прозаического гимна возможна только при условии его сопоставления с гимном поэтическим — древнейшим жанром древнегреческой хоровой ...

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 ...
