 2023,12,12,"Natalia Logvinova (HSE, ILI RAS)",Concord in Russian close appositional constructions: a quantitative study,"In this talk I will discuss case concord in Russian close appositional constructions, which manifests itself in optional case concord of the proper name (v rek-e Don-e/ v rek-e Don ‘in the river Don’). The study provides an in-depth corpus analysis of more than 15,000 examples, using a logistic regression statistical model to predict the choice between presence and absence of concord. The results indicate concord is most likely to occur in constructions with structurally simple and frequent proper names that exhibit adjectival properties and match the common noun in grammatical gender. Proper names with the Goal semantic role show concord with a higher probability than proper names with other roles. It is proposed that all relevant factors refer to frequency or convenience. A diachronic investigation shows that concord has become a much less preferred option over time. It is argued that concord is of low functional significance and suggest that this may explain the gradual loss of concord over time."
 2023,12,12,"Polina Nasledskova (HSE, IL RAS)",Topological relations in Kina Rutul,"Kina variety of Rutul (< Lezgic < East Caucasian) has several different means for describing spatial relations. In this study, I analyze the way topological relations are described in Kina Rutul by means of spatial cases, spatial adverbs and postpositions, and spatial verbal prefixes. The data for this study was collected in field in 2019 and is based on a questionnaire ""Topological relations picture series"" by Bowerman&Pederson (1992). This talk depicts my first attempt at analyzing the collected data and this work is still in progress. My main objective is to determine in which contexts the spatial meanings of case, adverb/postposition and verbal prefix are different and what aspects of topological relations each of these elements relate to."

The ancestors of the Gorin speakers used to speak a Northern Tungusic language and shifted to Nanai about 150 years ago. Gorin Nanai is highly endangered and very poor-documented. A. P. Putintseva collected 18 notebooks of texts in Nanai during her work in 1935-1936. More than a half of the texts were recorded from Gorin Nanai speakers. Her manuscripts contain a lot of her own corrections. In our talk, we will focus on analysis of these corrections. We believe that some of them may reveal underdescribed dialectal features of Gorin Nanai."

 2023,12,5,Andrey Chirkin (HSE),Reading group: Kilu von Prince (2019) Counterfactuality and past,"Many languages have past-and-counterfactuality markers such as English simple past. There have been various attempts to find a common definition for both uses, but I will argue in this paper that they all have problems with (a) ruling out unacceptable interpretations, or (b) accounting for the contrary-to-fact implicature of counterfactual conditionals, or (c) predicting the observed cross-linguistic variation, or a combination thereof. By combining insights from two basic lines of reasoning, I will propose a simple and transparent approach that solves all the observed problems and offers a new understanding of the concept of counterfactuality."

The machine-readable Massively Parallel Bible Corpus of Mayers & Cysouw (2014) is specifically designed for large scale quantitative analysis of Scripture, especially for purposes of grammatical typology. However, using this database as is, seems to be quite inconvenient for small-scale qualitative research. Our main aim for creating the Parabible tool was to facilitate the use of the database for unsophisticated researchers. We will present the current state of affairs, as well as discuss future paths of development. "

I will show the idioms where there is such a distinction and where there is none. Also the morphological relation between the pronouns will be taken into account: are the forms for 1PL related to ones for 1SG or, probably, for 2SG or 2PL? In addition, I will say a couple of words about the diachrony of personal pronouns systems in East Caucasian languages."

But with time, it became possible to conduct phonological, morphological, lexical and other types of analysis of linguistic data using special tools installed on the LingvoDoc. During the talk, I will give an idea of what features this platform has, what options and tools are installed in the system and how else it can be useful to researchers."

On the basis of the data from the ConLab’s collection of spoken corpora (cf. http://lingconlab.ru/resources.html), we demonstrate that the preposition ‘v’ is omitted in the speech of bilinguals more often than in monolingual speech and propose some possible explanations for the variation across different bilingual speakers.

Documenting topic and focus,"In the paper, four information structure relations are discussed: two types of  topic (non-contrastive and contrastive) and two types of focus (information focus and contrastive focus). All four depend crucially on discourse context. Although topic and focus are sometimes viewed as complementary relations, they belong to distinct dimensions of information structure, with one (focus) having to do with the locus of new information in an utterance, and the other (topic) with the entity that the utterance is about.  The following questions are specified in the article:

 2023,10,10,Maria Starodubtseva (HSE),Distinction between transitive and intransitive imperatives in Daghestanian languages,"Formation of imperative and its connection to transitivity is relatively well studied for the Nakh-Daghestanian family at the level of individual languages, but no areal view is presented so far. The aim of this research is to describe the formal distinction between transitive and intransitive imperatives on the basis of Nakh-Daghestanian languages. A significant number of languages of the family show this distinction in morphology. Transitivity may also bear on the marking of the number of addresses. The chapter contains two interactive maps based on the data collected from the grammars. The current research has been carried out within the framework of the TALD project."

I will discuss the types of plural marking (found among ~55% of Daghestanian languages) and the problems with classifying these markers. Then I will discuss the same classification issues with prohibitives, as well as look at examples of languages with a transitive split. Finally, I will summarize it by discussing the geographical distribution of these features within Daghestan."

Data from the ConLab's collection of spoken corpora of L2 Russian (cf. http://lingconlab.ru/resources.html) show that non-standard encoding of numeral constructions is not infrequent, e.g., četyre brat’ja instead of Standard Russian četyre brata. Variation is attested in all corpora, but to different extents (it is higher in Daghestan as compared to corpora from other regions), and generally much lower as compared to results obtained for other varieties of bilinguals' Russian (cf. Stoynova 2021 on Nanai and Ulcha Russian). The attested variation can only partly be explained as the result of pattern borrowing from the speakers' L1s, and correlations with the type of numeral involved (higher variation with paucals and collectives) would point to incomplete or non-standard L2 learning as a more viable hypothesis. For most of the corpora, variation seems to characterize the speech of few speakers-outliers, so we cannot extrapolate our conclusions to the whole population."
