    • Cognitive Linguistics: A Neat Theory for Messy Data 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Dickey, Stephen M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We outline some recent highlights in the application of cognitive linguistic theoretical and methodological approaches to the analysis of Slavic languages. A principal strength of cognitive linguistics is the way it focuses our attention on the continuous nature of linguistic phenomena. Rather than positing rigid categories and strict definitions, cognitive linguistics addresses the messy realities ...

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Dickey, Stephen M. (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2014)
      Janda 2012 and Janda et al. 2013 presented the hypothesis that Russian aspectual prefixes serve as verb classifiers, similar to verb classifiers identified in Australian languages, and as the verbal analogs of numeral classifiers found primarily in Asia and Central America. We further extend this hypothesis in two directions. First, we make the point that the distinction between sortal classifiers ...

    • Slavic Aspectual Prefixes and Numeral Classifiers: Two Kinds of Lexico-Grammatical Unitizers 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Dickey, Stephen M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      What do Slavic aspectual prefixes have in common with numeral classifiers? Our answer is that the parallels are compelling, both in terms of breadth and depth. The grammatical function of numeral classifiers is to form and classify units for the referents of nouns, and we argue that Slavic aspectual prefixes have the function of forming and classifying units for the referents of verbs. Numeral ...
