      Janda, Laura Alexis; Lyashevskaya, Olga; Nesset, Tore; Rakhilina, Ekaterina; Tyers, Francis Morton (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)
      The Russian Constructicon project currently prioritizes multi-word constructions that are not represented in dictionaries and that are especially useful for learners of Russian. The immediate goal is to identify constructions and determine the semantic constraints on their slots. The Russian Constructicon is being built in parallel with the Swedish Constructicon and will ultimately model the entire ...
    • From data to theory: An emergent semantic classification based on the large-scale Russian constructicon 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Endresen, Anna; Zhukova, Valentina; Mordashova, Daria; Rakhilina, Ekaterina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)
      The semantic classification of over 2,200 constructions in the Russian Con- structicon has emerged objectively from empirical analysis. The resulting semantic classification comports with and goes beyond frame semantics, revealing complex patterns of related constructions verified against corpus data and by a panel of native speakers. Our model of a constructicon can inform and complement existing ...
    • Prohibitive constructions in Russian: Families and clusters 

      Endresen, Anna; Janda, Laura Alexis; Mordashova, Daria; Rakhilina, Ekaterina; Zhukova, Valentina (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)
      In this study we explore the relationships of constructions in families and clusters. We examine fifty-seven multi-word Russian grammatical constructions that encode prohibitive semantics and model them as a radial category network that consists of two distinct clusters formed by eleven families of constructions. We show that each cluster of families is centered around a local prototype. The data ...
    • Russkij Konstruktion: Novyj lingvističeskij resurs, ego ustrojstvo i specifika 

      Endresen, Anna; Zhukova, Valentina; Mordashova, Daria; Rakhilina, Ekaterina; Lyashevskaya, Olga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We present a new open-access electronic resource named the Russian Constructicon that offers a searchable database of Russian constructions accompanied by descriptions of their properties and illustrated with corpus examples. The project was carried out over the period 2016-2020 and at present contains an inventory of over 2200 multi-word constructions of Contemporary Standard Russian. We prioritize ...
