Russian discourse markers that highlight the truth of the statements
This research analyzes and compares two near-synonymous Russian discourse markers, čto ni govori (‘whatever you say’) and i pravda (‘truly’), both used to verify the truthfulness of statements within their contexts. Despite their crucial role in communication, their analysis remains incomplete. Using data from monolingual and parallel corpora in the Russian National Corpus (RNC) and Sketch Engine, we identified the unique features of these discou…
Russian discourse word net ‘no’ in a contrastive perspective
The article examines the functioning of the Russian words net ‘no’ and partly da ‘yes’ in comparison to other languages. The study identifies important features of the semantics and pragmatics of these words. Special attention is paid to the discursive uses of Russian net and their correspondences in English and German. A classification of discursive uses of net is proposed, some of which have counterparts in English and German, while others are …
Evaluation as a Source of Deontic Modality
The present article discusses various types of the interaction of deontic modality and evaluation, based on the semantic shift “good → necessary”. Our source data are constructions with German modal verbs and their Russian translation models containing an evaluative component. Evaluative lexical units appear in translation mainly in place of the German verb sollen, which expresses a deontic modality based on the idea of a “right” course of events…
Figurative Language
The book develops a Theory of the Figurative Lexicon. Units of the figurative lexicon (conventional figurative units, CFUs for short) differ from all other elements of the language in two points: Firstly, they are conventionalized. That is, they are elements of the mental lexicon – in contrast to freely created figurative expressions. Secondly, they consist of two conceptual levels: they can be interpreted at the level of their literal reading an…
On a special type of necessity modality
The article discusses the thesis that the German verb sollen expresses a special type of modality that occupies an intermediate position between necessity and possibility, i.e. the modality of weak ontological necessity. The modality expressed by the verb sollen can be characterized as follows: sollen points to the correlation of the state of aff airs P with a certain logic of development of events, not the only possible, but salient in some resp…
Realization of the number category of nouns in Russian idioms
The paper discusses the limitations on the realization of the number category of nouns in the structure of Russian idioms. The main source of the material was the vocabulary of the “Idiom Dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences” (2015). The relevant limitations are shown to be determined by general grammatical factors, factors of semantics (meaning) of idioms, as well as features of pragmatics and inner form. An interesting case of constrai…
