Forskning

Mina forskningsintressen ligger inom följande forskningsområden: rysk grammatisk och lexikalisk semantik, kontrastiv lingvistik, korpuslingvistik, synkronisk språktypologi (slaviska språk) och översättningsteori. Till övriga intresseområden hör rysk stilistik och retorik, kognitiv lingvistik, diakronisk språktypologi och praktisk lexikografi.

Modern rysk grammatik

Min forskning ligger främst inom det moderna ryska språket, dess grammatiska och lexikaliska semantik. I min doktorsavhandling analyserade jag semantiken och användningen av positionsverb i modern ryska. Det ryska verbet och dess former och kategorier fortsätter att vara ett av de centrala områdena i forskningen. I ett flertal artiklar och föredrag analyserades bl.a. de perfektiva gerundiernas textuella funktion, imperativformernas semantik och pragmatik, aspektformernas användning i den komplexa satsen.

Kontrastiv lingvistik och grammatisk typologi

I min nuvarande forskning upptar jämförande studier mellan svenska och ryska den centrala platsen – ryskan betraktas i ljuset av svenskan med betoning på satsfogning och skillnader i språklig konceptualisering av världen. Ett huvudämne i forskningen utgör temporala relationer i polypredikativa konstruktioner i svenska och ryska. Ett annat ämne som jag har forskat i är aspekt i olika slaviska språk.

Avslutade forskningsprojekt

Norstedts ryska ordbok. Till en av de under senaste årens mest viktiga händelser inom tvåspråkig rysk-svensk lexikografi och även inom rysk-svensk kontrastiv forskning hör publiceringen av den nya Norstedts ryska ordbok (928 s.). Ordboken är ett resultat av det sexåriga samarbetet (2000‒2006) inom en stor internationell svensk-rysk forskningsgrupp (UU, SU, GU; MGU (Moskva), SPbGU (S.-Petersburg). Projektet finansierades av Svenska Institutet och Norstedts förlag. Ordboken är den första i sitt slag på 20 år och baserar sig på den senaste forskningen inom både rysk/svensk lexikografi, grammatik och kontrastiva lingvistiska studier. En helt ny utförlig semantisk analys och beskrivning av många ordklasser gjordes. Dit hör bl.a. alla i ordboken inkluderade svenska prepositioner.

    Taxis constructions with gerunds and cardinal posture verbs in Russian

     

    This paper presents a study of the use of Russian cardinal posture verbs (or position verbs) in sentences with gerund constructions. Proceeding from the general assumption that grammatical and combinatorial properties of verbal lexems are determined by their semantic verb class, the paper argues that posture verbs are no exception and reveal similar behavior in the constructions under analysis. In sentences with these verbs, taxis relations of simultaneity are prototypically expressed and accompanied by a number of contextual meanings. Various conditions for the realization of these meanings are also discussed.

    The Imperfective in Sequences of Events. On Nontrivial Aspectual Contexts in Russian in the PastThis article analyses a nontrivial use of the Russian imperfective aspect insequences of events in the past. The use of this so-called "contextually-conditionedimperfective past" (Dickey 2000) is characteristic of West Slavic languages,particularly Czech and Slovak, but in the linguistic literature several cases of its usein Modern Russian have also been identified. Based on data from the Russian National Corpus, this article presents the firstinvestigation of the range of use of this phenomenon in Modern Russian. The article claims that, in spite of the extreme rarity of the imperfective aspect inthe contexts under analysis, evidence for it may be found not only in stylisticallymarked contexts, but in common narrative style as well. Two types of contexts are investigated in detail: a chain of events consistingof more than two verbs, and the coordinative structure, where the second verbis an imperfective one. In the first case, the occurrence of the imperfective verbcan be partly explained by the communicative inappropriateness of the perfectivedelimitative in these contexts, and in the second case the imperfective aspect mayoccur due to the lack of a sharp boundary between the two actions.

    This paper examines the semantic and syntactic features of taxis constructions with future active perfective participles and pinpoints a number of factors that contribute to their growing use in contemporary spoken Russian. These include, in particular, the type of taxis construction, predicate semantics and hypothetical modality. Particular attention is devoted to potential and prospective aspectual meanings.

    Kapitel

    This article analyses the aspectual use of imperfective past verbal forms in a number of Russian epic narrative poems, or byliny. These forms express complete, succesive actions of some duration and they are interchanged with other temporal and aspectual verbal forms in a manner that is not characteristic of their modern use. The analysis demonstrates that many epic scenes are based on a general semantic contrast "preparation for action and its implementation". The imperfective forms stand for the preparation for action and the perfective forms for the implementation. Moreover, this lexical and grammatical semantic contrast can be supported by a rhythmic contrast between aspectual forms while it is, as a rule, realised in the more detailed descriptions of the so-called epical "common places". Finally, in parallel structures with perfective past forms the rhythmic contrast between aspectual forms disappears or it is smoothed out, while the semantic contrast remains.

  • Temporal Relations and Cognition

    Kapitel

    This paper aims to provide a pilot contrastive study of the Swedish conjunction innan and its Russian translational correspondences based on a small Swedish-Russian parallel corpus. The study has found that in more than half of all cases this Swedish conjunction does not correspond to its Russian conjunctional analogues. The frequency of the use of the conjunction innan and its involvement in syntactic structures with a high degree of reproduction provide a basis for hypothesizing that cognition of such propositions would cause less difficulty to Swedish speakers than cognition of the propositions with the conjunction pered tem kak in any position, in the case of Russian speakers.

    Artikel

    Covid-19 is highly relevant in 2020; among other things, it is attracting new global socio-communicative and linguistic research. Scholars are addressing the linguistic response to the social and psychological situation in different countries in the era of coronavirus. Thus, the Editorial Board has created a forum for specialists to communicate (in writing), one which makes it possible to provide information about their sources on Covid-19 and illustrate theoretical materials. The participants chose to analyse different aspects of language during the pandemic; medical terminology and its relevant vocabulary were the same for all countries. The conversation goes beyond the scope of linguistics, as it is important for the researchers to characterise measures taken by governments to combat Covid-19 and the public’s reaction to them as reflected through language. Additionally, the authors focus on spontaneous linguistic responses to the pandemic in the form of language games, metaphors, and references to historical memory of combatting disasters. The pandemic has also caused long-standing forms of speech communication to change. Researchers from different European countries have taken part: Arto Mustajoki (University of Helsinki, Finland; National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia), Nadezjda Zorikhina Nilsson (Stockholm University, Sweden), Rafael Guzmán Tirado (University of Granada, Spain), Anna Tous-Rovirosa and Daria Dergacheva (Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain). The conversation was moderated by Irina Vepreva and Tatiana Itskovich (Ural Federal University Yekaterinburg, Russia).
