Russian aspectual prefixes O, OB and OBO : a case study of allomorphy
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-06-14)The thesis presents a study of the nontrivial interface of morphology, phonology and semantics found in the distribution of three Russian aspectual prefixes O, OB and OBO. These prefixes can be semantically identical when occur in the forms of the same paradigm (e.g. obo-drat’.INF. vs. ob-deru.1 PERSON.SG.FUT. ‘flay’), but can also carry strikingly different meanings that even yield minimal pairs ... -
Russian dialectology in educating Slavists in Norway: experience and results
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2020)The fact that a legendary Norwegian explorer Fridtjоf Nansen, who was a talented and highly educated man, knew very well the history and culture of the peoples of Northern Russia, is mentioned in almost every work dedicated to his planned expedition to the Kola Peninsula, which was never performed. However, there are no research works that mention the fact that his deep knowledge, which inspired him ... -

The Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Kremlin's Policy of Remembrance
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)The first time I visited the Lenin Mausoleum was on an autumn day in 1971. Leaves blew over Red Square, and down in the sarcophagus Lenin was lying in dim illumination, immaculately dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and a red necktie. Despite his attire he made a dismal impression with his yellow, parchment-like skin. 20 years later Soviet society dissolved, without Lenin being offered a decent ... -

Russian ‘purely aspectual’ prefixes: Not so ‘empty’ after all?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Nearly two thousand perfective verbs in Russian are formed via the addition of so-called “empty prefixes” (čistovidovye pristavki) to imperfective base verbs. The traditional assumption that prefixes are semantically “empty” when used to form aspectual pairs is problematic because the same prefixes are clearly “non-empty” when combined with other base verbs. Though some scholars have suspected that ... -

For å svare på disse problemstillingene har jeg i hovedsak undersøkt russiske aviser gjennom databasen East View, hjemmesider ... -
Russiske prefikser er ikke tomme, de er klassifikatorer
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2013)I verb som написать ‘skrive’ og сварить ‘koke’ pleier man å si at prefiksene er tomme, siden slike verb (med unntak av aspekt) har samme betydning som de tilsvarende uprefigerte verbene. Vårt utgangspunkt er i stedet hypotesen om at disse prefiksene er ikke tomme, men danner et verbklassifikasjonssystem som ligner på tallordklassifikasjonssystemene i språk som Yucatec Maya (Lucy 1992). Majsak (2005) ... -
