Russ Tomlin, attention, working memory, reference, and referential choice
Russ Tomlin created an original approach to discourse production, including a theory based on the achievements of cognitive psychology and novel experimental paradigms. Particularly important is his theory of how attention affects linguistic structure. Tomlin's approach played an important role in the development of the framework of reference and referential choice, developed by the present author over the years. A brief sketch of that framework …
The Structure and Functioning of Clauses in Upper Kuskokwim Conversational Discourse
Upper Kuskokwim (Athabaskan, Alaska) is a polysynthetic language with morphologically complex verbs involving pronominal affixes denoting clause arguments. One goal of this paper is to see how clauses in this kind of language are organized and operate in conversational discourse. This study is based on a dataset of transcribed conversations, arranged as sequences of elementary discourse units. The issues explored in this article include the struc…
Alaskan Russian
The article describes the history of studying Alaskan Russian (AR), a language that emerged from interactions between Russian furtraders and the aboriginal population during the Russian colonization of Alaska. In the late 18th century, AR became the native language of mixed-race persons who were officially referred to as “creoles” in the 19th century. AR was actively used in Alaska until the mid-20th century. Currently, several advanced-age indiv…
Em>Thought-Based Linguistics
The concluding book by an eminent American linguist Wallace Chafe Thought-Based Linguistics: How Languages Turn Thoughts into Sounds presents an introduction to the central agenda of linguistics in the context of neighboring sciences. The present survey briefly explains the ideas presented in the six parts of the book. Chafe offers an original theory of the structure of thought and its step-bystep conversion, via semantics and grammar, to sound. …

A Program for the Preservation and Revitalization of the Languages of Russia
This article presents the Program for the Preservation and Revitalization of the Languages of Russia proposed by the Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences (the Program). The Program is based on knowledge accumulated in linguistics in domains such as linguistic diversity, language endangerment, and language preservation methods. According to a recent assessment, there are 150 to 160 languages of Russia. This number of languages, ev…
Discourse transcription rules for descriptive and documentary studies
Whereas the principles of morphological analysis and glossing are sufficiently standardized in modern linguistics, there are no generally accepted rules for organizing discourse transcript as such. In this paper we propose a standard of transcribing spoken discourse, to be used in a descriptive or documentary project on any language. A transcript must be divided into lines, corresponding to elementary discourse units. A transcript must include an…
The Language of a Lost Russian Region in the Historical Context of Russia’s Eastward Expansion
This paper presents the results of a pilot field study of the Russian language of a group of East Siberian old settlers in the context of their ethnic and cultural history and their role in Russian expansion eastward, including Alaska between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. From a linguistic perspective, the regional features of the old settlers’ Russian language testify to the cultural and historical processes that involved various grou…

Upper Kuskokwim (Athabaskan, Alaska)
I investigate local discourse structure in Upper Kuskokwim (Athabaskan, Alaska), drawing on a corpus of discourses that includes a variety of genres. Local discourse structure consists of minimal steps in speech production, so-called elementary discourse units (EDUs). As in other languages, prosodically identified EDUs correlate strongly with clauses; subclausal EDUs (e.g., increments to a preceding clause) and superclausal EDUs (e.g., matrix cla…
Toward a typology of verbal lexical systems
Traditionally, lexical typology has mostly confined itself to local domains, such as color terms. In this paper I propose an integral typology of verbal lexical systems. As a first step, I compare the verbal lexicon of Northern Athabaskan languages (primarily Koyukon) with that of English, as well as Russian. The research question is how the construction of verbal lexical meaning operates in various languages. As an independent benchmark, I use a…
