  • Russian Constructions with Syntactic Reduplication of Colour Terms: a Corpus Study
    Russian Journal of Linguistics 2018 Vol. 22 No. 3 653—674 Вестник РУДН. Серия: ЛИНГВИСТИКА http://journals.rudn.ru/linguistics DOI: 10.22363/2312-9182-2018-22-3-653-674 Russian Constructions with Syntactic Reduplication of Colour Terms: A Corpus Study Valentina Apresjan National Research University Higher School of Economics 20 Myasnitskaya st., Moscow, 101000, Russia Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences 18/2 Volkhonka st., Moscow, 119019, Russia Abstract Russian reduplicated constructions with colour terms have never previously been an object of a comprehen- sive corpus study. Nevertheless, they present considerable interest for a researcher because comparative ability of colour terms to be reduplicated reflects their semantic and pragmatic differences, whereas semantics and pragmatics of reduplication construction are revealed in the properties of colour terms that can fill its slots. Thus, the goal of the paper is to study semantic and pragmatic properties of Russian colour terms and Russian syntactic reduplication construction by analyzing their co-occurrence. We apply corpus methods to the data from the Russian National Corpus, RuTenTen Corpus on Sketch Engine and RuSkell corpus. We analyze absolute corpus frequencies and collocation patterns of Russian non-reduplicated colour terms, as well as their relative frequencies and collocation patterns in the construction of syntactic redupli- cation with a hyphen (belyj-belyj ‘white-white, very white, spotlessly white’). Drawing on this data, we establish that absolute frequencies of non-reduplicated colour terms in Russian reflect both Anna Wierzbicka’s “universals of visual semantics”, as well as certain language and culture-specific tendencies, as evidenced by the prominence of goluboj ‘light blue’ and ryzhij ‘carroty-red’ in Russian.

  • Vowel Harmony in Two Even Dialects Dialects
    400 220 Natalia Aralova Natalia Aralova Natalia Aralova Vowel harmony in two Even Vowel harmony in two Even dialects dialects Production and perception Production and perception This dissertation analyzes vowel systems in two dialects of Even, an endangered Northern Tungusic language spoken in Eastern Siberia. The data were collected during fieldwork in the Bystraia district of Central Kamchatka and in the village of Sebian-Küöl in Yakutia. The focus of the study is the Even system of vowel harmony, which in previous literature has been assumed to be robust. The central question concerns the number of vowel oppositions and the nature of the feature underlying the opposition between harmonic sets. The results of an acoustic study show a consistent pattern for only one acoustic parameter, namely F1, which can harmony in two Even dialects Vowel be phonologically interpreted as a feature [±height]. This acoustic study is supplemented by perception experiments. The results of the latter suggest that perceptually there is no harmonic opposition for high vowels, i.e., the harmonic pairs of high vowels have merged. Moreover, in the dialect of the Bystraia district certain consonants function as perceptual cues for the harmonic set of a word. In other words, the Bystraia Even harmony system, which was previously based on vowels, is being transformed into new oppositions among consonants.

The remainder is formed by a minor Kamchatka mainland Kamchatka, Karaginsky Island and the Commander Islands in the Bering Sea. It is bordered by Magadan Oblast to the west and Chukotka to the north. Kamchatka Krai is an active volcanic zone Kamchatka is home to Kluchevskayathe Kamchatka volcano in Eurasiaand the Decade Volcanoes of Avachinsky and Koryaksky. Kamchatka Krai occupies the territory of the Kamchatka Peninsulathe adjacent part of the mainland, the island Karaginsky and Commander Islands. Kamchatka belongs to the zone of volcanic activity, there are about large and medium-sized volcanoes, 29 of them are active. With the volcanic activity associated with the formation of many minerals, as well as a manifestation of hydro geo thermal activity: education fumaroles, geysers, hot Kamchatka, etc. Despite Kamchatka lying at similar latitudes to Scotlandit is mostly subarcticmore continental in the hinterland and more maritime and prone to monsoons on the coast.

  • Case Study of Kamchatka Peninsula Rivers)
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 12, EGU2010-15653, 2010 EGU General Assembly 2010 © Author(s) 2010 Human activities impact on mountain river channels (case study of Kamchatka peninsula rivers) Aleksandra S. Ermakova Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Geography, Moscow, Russia ([email protected]) Human-induced driving factors along with natural environmental changes greatly impact on fluvial regime of rivers. On mountain and semi-mountain territories these processes are developed in the most complicated manner due to man-made activities diversity throughout river basins. Besides these processes are significantly enhanced because of the disastrous natural processes (like volcanic and mud-flow activity) frequent occurrences in mountainous regions. On of the most striking example on the matter is Kamchatka peninsula which is located at the North-West part of Russian Federation. This paper contributes to the study of human activities impact on fluvial systems in this volcanic mountain region. Human effects on rivers directly alter channel morphology and deformations, dynamics of water and sediment movement, aquatic communities or indirectly affect streams by altering the movement of water and sediment into the channel. In case study of Kamchatka peninsula human activities affect fluvial systems through engineering works including construction of bridges, dams and channel diversions and placer mining. These processes are characterized by spatial heterogeneity because of irregular population distribution. Due to specific natural conditions of the peninsula the most populated areas are the valleys of big rivers (rivers Kamchatka, Avacha, Bistraya (Bolshaya), etc) within piedmont and plain regions. These rivers are characterized by very unstable channels. Both with man-made activities this determines wide range of fluvial system changes.

  • Conference ABSTRACTS
    Conference Anthropology of Siberia in the Late 19th and 20th Centuries: Re-assessing the contribution of a ‘marginal’ field 10-12 March 2021 Convenors: Dmitriy Funk, J. Otto Habeck, Virginie Vaté ABSTRACTS David G. Anderson Terrestrial and Spiritual Imaginaries in Siberian Land-Rights Discourse Relationships between people and territory have become one of the defining qualities of international statutes recognizing indigenous rights. While reflecting important legacies and fissures within the colonial situation of the Americas, the land/person equation seems muted in Northeast Asia where declarations of rights focus primarily on culture, sparseness, masterhood, and enskillment. In this paper, based on fieldwork and historical ethnography from Evenkis and Orochens in the Baikal region, I will examine how the relationship between people and space has been represented in early Siberian ethnography. The paper will examine early Evenki-Tungus declarations of occupancy in the Imperial and early Soviet period. It will also look at the wide impact of key collaborations, such as those between the Maksimov family and Prince Kropotkin, on the geographic imagination. The paper will conclude with reflections on the perhaps too-tangible way that imagining the regulation of two-dimensional space has obscured the evocative imagination of hydrological flows, subterranean essences, roads, and destinies in the landscape. It will be argued that these cosmopolitical visions can continue to enrich this discussion internationally. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8 https://uni- hamburg.zoom.us/j/93462887602?pwd=Yit1bnZhd2pQd2N4WEVsY3B6TGJvQT09 Zoom Webinar (password available from the organisers) Dmitry Arzyutov I Know What You Want – We Know Who You Are: Mediating subjectivities of an Altai shep- herd between ‘his’ spirits and early Soviet ethnographers The history of anthropology traditionally writes as the history of institutions, ideas and anthropologists themselves.

  • Fenomena Munculnya Interlanguage (Inglish) Di Indonesia
    FENOMENA MUNCULNYA INTERLANGUAGE (INGLISH) DI INDONESIA Rosita Ambarwati FPBS IKIP PGRI Madiun Abstrak The process of learning a new language is difficult. Even so, when the second language is finally formed, the language would have a continuous effect on the person’s mother tongue ability (Association for Psychological Science, 2009). On the other side, someone who is learning a new language, would also have trouble to understand the grammar in translation. In the translation skill, they move from the original language to the literal gloss before it reaches the new language (Saygin, 2001). Both sides show the same symptom, the birth of new terms that are actually combinations from both language elements. Some nations, suffer some sort of desperation where it is so difficult to learn English that leads them to a compromise. The compromise gave birth to numerous and vary new vocabularies, and almost can be recognizable as a language. Key words : Interlanguage, Inglish Pendahuluan Belajar bahasa baru itu sulit. Semakin sulit seiring meningkatnya usia. Walau demikian, saat bahasa kedua telah terwujud, bahasa tersebut akan berpengaruh sinambung pada kemampuan seseorang berbahasa asli (Association for Psychological Science, 2009). Di sisi lain, seorang yang mempelajari bahasa baru, akan mengalami kesulitan memahami grammar dan menterjemahkan. Dalam ilmu penerjemahan, mereka berangkat dari bahasa asli menuju ke literal gloss sebelum sampai ke bahasa baru tersebut (Saygin, 2001). Kedua sisi menunjukkan gejala yang sama, munculnya sekumpulan istilah yang merupakan perpaduan dari unsur-unsur kedua bahasa. Sebagian bangsa, mengalami sebuah keputusasaan, begitu sulitnya mempelajari bahasa Inggris sehingga membawa mereka pada kompromi. Kompromi ini memunculkan kosakata yang luar biasa banyak dan beragam, yang hampir dapat diakui sebagai bahasa.
