      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 ...

      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 ...
