Prefix variation as a challenge to Russian aspectual pairs : are завязнуть and увязнуть ‘get stuck’ the same or different?

Janda, Laura Alexis; Lyashevskaya, Olga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

Two key issues in Russian linguistics are the traditional assumptions that (a) the aspect system presents ‘pairs’ of verbs that are perfective vs. imperfective, and that (b) since the lexical meanings of the two verbs that form a pair are identical, the affix that marks aspect has no semantic content. In relation to prefixed perfectives, this approach can be called the Empty Prefix Hypothesis. The alternative approach, which can be called the Overlap Hypothesis, suggests that semantic emptiness is an illusion created by an overlap in the meanings of the base verb and the prefix. A long-standing debate over these two hypotheses remains unresolved. We address this debate via a phenomenon that has not previously been investigated in a thorough manner, namely prefix variation. Prefix variation is present when an imperfective base verb forms two or more aspectual partner verbs with the same lexical meaning, as illustrated by the two verbs завязнуть and увязнуть in our title. We present a detailed empirical analysis, showing that prefix variation is both frequent and systematic in Russian, and that our results support the Overlap Hypothesis.

Problemy izucenija severnorusskogo slova DAK: dostizenija i nedostatki

Post, Margje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

The word dak is one of several highly frequent particles, used in most Northern Russian and some Siberian dialects. It can occur sentence initially, sentence internally and sentence finally to connect two parts of the discourse, such as words, sentences, and presuppositions. This article describes the advantages and shortcomings of six different perspectives which have been used to describe this unspecified, multifunctional word: descriptions in traditional grammatical terms, in syntactic terminology used for spontaneÓus speech, research on its role in information structure, its use in discourse, the role of prosody, and finally comparisons with parallel words in neighbouring and other languages. I conclude that a combination of approaches is required for a better understanding of the way dak functions. Studies in prosody combined with research on dak's role in information structure appear to be most fruitful, and modern theories of discourse structure, which are almost completely ignored at present, could be helpful. Much research remains to be done, especially to clarify the restrictions on the use of the word dak and the way it functions in less obvious contexts.

Prosodija govorov Terskogo berega Belogo morja: predvrel'nye nabljudenija

Post, Margje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2001)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

The present article presents some preliminary results of the study of some prosodic characteristics of the dialects of Varzuga and Umba, two Northern Russian villages on the Ter Coast of the White Sea. In our recently collected recordings, we observed a number of prosodic characteristics which are assumed to be typical for Northern Russian. Firstly, vowels appear to be relatively short. Secondly, it was often rather difficult to determine the location of the stressed syllables. Thirdly, a tendency to attach a repeating prosodic pattern to each phonological word was observed. Finally, many non-question utterances ended in a rising pitch movement, although the steepness and the height of the Ter rise appear to be less extreme than in, for instance, some Pinega dialects of the Archangel’sk oblast’. Interestingly, the second and third characteristics seem to be closely related. In all but one of the cases with unclear stress patterns, the first syllable was realised with high pitch, immediately preceded and followed by low pitch. This seems to be the result of a tendency to attach a rising-falling pattern to each phonological word.

Quirky n-words in Polish. NPIs, negative quantifiers or neither?

Jablonska, Patrycja (Journal article, 2003)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:	The present paper investigates the contexts in which the so-called n-words - the items which are taken to be Negative Polarity Items in Slavic languages - unexpectedly occur without a licensing negation marker on the verb. This particular usage of n-words seems to point towards an ambiguous behaviour of the items in question: in an antimorphic contexts they are NPIs; otherwise they are negative quantifiers with negation having narrow scope w.r.t. the event variable. The paper tries to answer the question why the latter use is restricted to certain adverbials. I argue that the availability of 'logophoric' n-words turns on the issue of what the adverbial PP is predicated of. This intuition is formalized using Higginbothamistic view on l-(exical) syntax, where the nature of $Theta$-identification of the adverbial with the verb is of fundamental importance. The semantic requirement, however, turns out to be insufficient. Hence the syntactic position of the PP on the hierarchy of thematic roles also has to be taken into consideration. The data analysed include adverbials of manner, reason, time, place, direction, resultatives and depictives.

Relexification in a Northern Norwegian dialect?

Sollid, Hilde (Journal article, 2003)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:	This paper explores how the process of relexification can contribute to the understanding of the genesis of the new Norwegian dialect of Sappen in Nordreisa. The dialect has emerged in the context of language shift from Finnish to Norwegian, and the dialect syntax has features that might be regarded as products of relexification. One example is declarative main clauses with the finite verb in the third position (V3). The discussion adheres to a more general discussion of approaches to language genesis, where substratist and universalist (and also superstratist) theories often are regarded as contrary to each other. I argue that different theories can contribute to the understanding of different aspects of the same question.

Resepsjonsestetikk og reader-response

Aspaas, Øystein (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2006)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

Dette er del tre i serien ”Presentasjoner” – en rekke orienterende artikler om moderne litteratur- og kulturteori. Det er meningen å omtale viktige retninger, personer og tekster i tiden fra og med 1960-tallet til i dag. Artiklene er skrevet for ikke-eksperter som ønsker å få en viss oversikt over dette feltet, og som ønsker å kunne lese for eksempel Morgenbladet med større utbytte og mindre fremmedfølelse. Eureka forlag har tidligere internettpublisert del en, om strukturalismen, som Småtrykk 2/2004, og del to, om poststrukturalismen, som Småtrykk 1/2005. Resepsjonsteorien blir her presentert gjennom sitt tyske tyngdepunkt (Jauss og Iser) og sitt amerikanske (Fish, Holland, Bleich, Rosenblatt og Radway), og dessuten gjennom den italienske semiotikeren Umberto Eco. Til slutt blir denne retningen sett i samband med norsk fagdidaktisk debatt og de gjeldende læreplaner for grunnskolen. Det er denne artikkelens påstand at resepsjonsteorien implisitt ligger til grunn for 2005-planens syn på litteraturlesningen i skolen.

Rising possessors in Spanish

Fábregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

In this paper we propose that some nominal structures involve rising of a possessive pronoun from a lower, defective nominal domain to a structure headed by a noun with which they do not hold any direct semantic relation. The conditions under which this operation can take place are explored. It can only happen when the lower domain is severely impoverished; it is introduced by a weak preposition that does not define a phase and when the PP is selected by the head noun as its complement.

Russia in the mirror of holidays.

Lönngren, Tamara (Journal article, 2002)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

This article deals with the holiday calendar in contemporary Russia. Up to now, it has been customary among Russian ethnologists to speak of three periods of formation and radical transformation of the Russian calendar: a) during the introduction of Christendom, b) during the rule of Peter the Great, and c) in the years following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. It is now appropriate to add one more period of intense change: the present, post-Soviet era. An attempt is made to provide a classification of the numerous Russian holidays. The article also presents the results of an interview with a group of Moscovians; the interview was carried out in order to elucidate their attitudes to certain holidays.

Samisk språkrevitalisering i Ryssland : möjligheter och utmaningar

Scheller, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

Trots att alla fyra kolasamiska språk allvarligt hotas av ett språkbyte från samiska till ryska har en språkrevitaliseringsprocess startat. Särskilt det kildinsamiska samhället i Lovozero verkar ha de nödvändiga förutsättningarna för att kunna genomföra en effektiv språkrevitalisering, även med syfte att återinföra kildinsamiska som vardags- och kommunikationsspråk. Det finns dock likaså utfordringar och barriärer som har en bromsande effekt på revitaliseringsprocessen. Än idag påverkar historiska händelser och politiska åtgärdar som kollektivisering, repressioner, andra världskriget, tvångsförflyttningar och internatskolsystemet det kolasamiska samhället och den språkliga och kulturella utvecklingen mycket negativt. Andra destruktiva faktorer är purism, brist på effektiva språkutlärningsmetoder, outnyttjade resurser och främjandet av det nordsamiska språket bland kolasamerna. Ett viktigt ämne i artikeln utgör en kritisk diskussion av samarbetet mellan ryska (östra) och nordiska (västra) Sápmi samt vilka konsekvenser icke-transparenta och ansvarslöst genomförda västliga bistånds- och utvecklingsprojekt kan få för det kolasamiska samhället och för den språkliga och kulturella revitaliseringen.

Scandinavian dialect syntax (before and after) 2005

Vangsnes, Øystein Alexander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2007)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

This paper gives an outline of the goals of the pan-Nordic project umbrella Scandinavian Dialect Syntax and of how the research collaboration is organized and financed, and of how the collaboration has advanced during the last 4-5 years. Special attention is devoted to the NORMS Nordic Center of Excellence project which in effect constitutes a highly focused branch of the larger network. There are clear scientific advantages of initiating large scale cooperation of the sort represented by the ScanDiaSyn umbrella, but there are also several challenges and obstacles, especially when it comes to funding. The experiences from the ScanDiaSyn collaboration may therefore be useful from the perspective of the organization of research more generally.

Slavic prefixes inside and outside VP

Svenonius, Peter (Journal article, 2004)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:	Most Slavic prefixes can be assigned to one of two large cate- gories, lexical and superlexical. The lexical prefixes are like Germanic particles, in having resultative meanings, often spatial, but often id- iosyncratic. The superlexical prefixes are like adverbs or auxiliary verbs, having aspectual and quantificational meanings. I present a syntactic account of the two types of prefix, arguing that the lexical ones are to be analyzed essentially like the Germanic particles, and that their VP-internal position accounts for many of their properties, while the superlexical ones originate outside VP.

Some notes on temporal adverbials in Old Russian: the case of <i>lěto</i> ‘year’ in Suzdal’skaja letopis’

Nesset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

This article offers a small analysis of temporal adverbials with ‘year' in Suzdal'skaja letopis'. These data in comparison with data from Ipat'evskaja letopis' indicate that въ + locative (the construction that prevails with ‘year' in Contemporary Standard Russian) was marginal in Old Russian, whereas three other constructions (въ + accusative, bare genitive and bare locative) competed for dominance.

Some observations on borrowings in the Russian dialect on the Kola Peninsula

Pineda, David (Journal article, 2004)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

The present article gives an overview of the borrowed vocabulary of the Russian dialect of the Kola peninsula, which mostly comes from Finno-Ugric languages. Some remarks are made as to the phonetical and morphological adaptations to Russian, the etymology and the distribution of the loanwords over the different semantic fields. Not surprisingly, the terminology on reindeer husbandry is dominated by loans from Sámi languages. Some names for fishes are also Sámi, but fishing terminology is almost exclusively borrowed from Baltic-Finnic. Other source languages include Samoyedic (clothing), Norwegian and Dutch (ship types).

Some observations on the Plural Instrumental in the dialect of the village of Varzuga

Pineda, David (Journal article, 2002)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

This paper attempts to give an overview of the different case endings found in the Instrumental Plural in the Northern Russian dialect of Varzuga on the Kola Peninsula, and looks at the situation in the neighbouring Russian dialects of Carelia and the Archangel district. Along with the Literary Russian ending [m'i], Varzuga uses the endings [my] (in nouns) and [ma] (in nouns, adjectives and pronouns). While [my] dominates in noun declension, [ma] is dominant in adjectives, and in possessive and demonstrative pronouns. These facts link the Varzuga dialect to Carelia, whereas Northern Archangel dialects do not use [my] at all, and reserve [ma] for adjectival and pronominal declension only.

Sosiale roller og lokale og globale interesser i vurderingen av språksituasjoner

Hiss, Florian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)

[+]

[-]

Abstract:

Kommer det samiske språket til å dø ut? Trusler mot det språklige mangfoldet og mulig språkdød er hyppig diskutert i det flerspråklige Nord-Norge. Deltakere i denne diskursen er talere, lokale aktører, forskere og fageksperter, statlige myndigheter, politikere og globale organisasjoner som UNESCO. Denne studien tar utgangspunkt i tre ulike vurderinger av den samiske språksituasjonen og språkenes fremtidsperspektiver som ble presentert i forskjellige medietekster. Tekstanalysen viser hvordan disse representasjonene av språksituasjonen involverer ulike sosiale roller og rollesett, og hvordan evalueringene påvirkes av disse. Operasjonaliseringen av rollesett i diskursen kan innebære konflikter mellom ulike interesser og effekter i kommunikasjonsprosessen, blant annet mellom globale og lokale perspektiver. Analysen viser at det er viktig å betrakte den diskursive konstruksjonen av trusler og varsler om truende språkdød i lyset av de ulike sosiale rollene og interessene som på ulike nivå deltar i å lage diskursen.
