The Russian Prepositions Перед, Против And Напротив: A Cognitive Linguistic Approach, Marika Kalyuga
The Russian Prepositions Перед, Против And Напротив: A Cognitive Linguistic Approach, Marika Kalyuga
Russian Language Journal
There is an assumption in cognitive linguistics that most non-spatial senses of a preposition and a case are derived from a common (usually spatial) sense through metaphoric extensions. The metaphoric extensions involve the understanding of a concept, the so-called “target,” in terms of a more simple, concrete concept called the “source” (Lakoff 1987; Boers 1996; Boers & Demecheleer 1998). For this reason, prepositions and cases with a similar spatial sense frequently develop similar non-spatial senses. For example, the Ancient Greek prepositions πρό ‘before’ and ἀντί ‘opposite’ are associated with nearly the same proto-scenario or idealized mental representation of events linked …
Языковые Сдвиги В Сфере Образования Республики Казахстан, Ольга Алтынбекова
Языковые Сдвиги В Сфере Образования Республики Казахстан, Ольга Алтынбекова
Russian Language Journal
Общеизвестно, что в советский период в коммуникативно-языковом пространстве Казахстана доминирующее положение занимал русский язык, который «должен был обслуживать наиболее важные сферы: государственную, хозяйственную, правоохранительную, военную, общественно-политическую и в особенности партийную деятельность в союзном, республиканском, областном и районном масштабе» [Сулейменова 2011: 62]. Язык титульной нации – казахский – оказался фактически вытесненным за рамки политической и общественной жизни в республике.

Aspect And The Russian Verbal Base Form, Oscar E. Swan
Aspect And The Russian Verbal Base Form, Oscar E. Swan
Russian Language Journal
Roman Jakobson’s 1948 single-stem analysis of the Russian verb inspired many imitations and applications around the Slavic world, especially in American Russian pedagogy, where the names Alexander Lipson, Charles Townsend, and Maurice Levin come most readily to mind (see References). The first is a by-now dated two-part textbook series, grammatically innovative for its time, that is still available on the internet (although as far as I know it is not actually used anywhere), while the applied linguistic works by Townsend and Levin are still in print and are commonly used in graduate courses on the structure of Russian. It is …
Review: Russian From Intermediate To Advanced, Cori Anderson
Review: Russian From Intermediate To Advanced, Cori Anderson
Russian Language Journal
Russian from Intermediate to Advanced is a new and innovative textbook designed for students who wish to reach an advanced level of proficiency in all modalities (speaking, listening, reading and writing), according to the ACTFL scale. The book is designed to reflect the ACTFL proficiency guidelines for all four skills, as well as the skills tested in the TORFL. The authors have also produced a companion website, which features audio and video components, as well as grammar exercises. These materials can be used in a traditional one-year course, an intensive summer- or academic-year course, or over multiple years of study, …
Review: Teaching Nineteenth Century Russian Literature: Essays In Honor Of Robert L. Belknap, Irwin Weil
Review: Teaching Nineteenth Century Russian Literature: Essays In Honor Of Robert L. Belknap, Irwin Weil
Russian Language Journal
The late Robert L. Belknap was clearly one of the finest individuals and most creative teachers and scholars in the American profession of Slavic studies. His whole professional life encompassed both the academic and administrative sides of a long and outstanding professorial career at Columbia University. It is therefore entirely appropriate that the present volume consists of articles in the field of Russian literary criticism by some of the best and original literary critics, many of them Belknap's former students. Not only do the articles demonstrate a high level of literary insight—they also show the example of Belknap's remarkable creativity …
Review: Checking Out Chekhov: A Guide To The Plays For Actors, Directors, And Readers, Valleri J. Robinson
Review: Checking Out Chekhov: A Guide To The Plays For Actors, Directors, And Readers, Valleri J. Robinson
Russian Language Journal
Sharon Carnicke’s Checking out Chekhov: A Guide to the Plays for Actors, Directors, and Readers provides a succinct foundation for understanding how to read Chekhov’s mature plays for theatre practitioners and students who so often encounter his work. As one of the most often produced and adapted playwrights in professional and academic theatres, Chekhov must be produced by theatre professionals that have a handle on how to think, talk, and, ultimately, produce Chekhov. While many books aimed at this audience offer interpretive readings, analytical strategies, and historical contexts for engaging with Chekhov’s unique dramatic worlds, none approach Chekhov using Carnicke’s …
The Effect Of Teaching Vocabulary In Semantic Groups: A Study In The Russian Language Classroom, Kate White
The Effect Of Teaching Vocabulary In Semantic Groups: A Study In The Russian Language Classroom, Kate White
Russian Language Journal
A long-standing assumption in the field of second language acquisition research is that learning new vocabulary items in semantic groupings has a positive effect on acquisition and retention (Finkbeiner and Nicol 2003). This assumption is common among researchers and instructors of second languages, as it seems to fit intuitively with the most popular current communicative approaches to teaching. However, researchers have begun to question this assumption, as it has not been supported by empirical evidence (Altarriba and Mathis 1997; Finkbeiner and Nicol 2003; Papathanasiou 2009). Previous research is not conclusive on the topic due to differences in methodology and design. …
Are Russian Aspectual Prefixes Empty Or Full (And Does It Matter)?, Oscar E. Swan
Are Russian Aspectual Prefixes Empty Or Full (And Does It Matter)?, Oscar E. Swan
Russian Language Journal
A review of Laura A. Janda, Anna Endresen, Julia Kuznetsova, Olga Lyashkevskaya, Anastasia Makarova, Tore Nesset, and Svetlana Sokolova. 2013. Why Russian Aspectual Prefixes Aren’t Empty: Prefixes as Verb Classifiers. Bloomington, IN: Slavica. References. xv + 211 pp. Paper.
Why Neither The Prefixes Nor Our Arguments Are Empty Response To Swan, Laura A. Janda
Why Neither The Prefixes Nor Our Arguments Are Empty Response To Swan, Laura A. Janda
Russian Language Journal
I offer this response to Oscar Swan’s review of our book (Janda et al. 2013) on behalf of the CLEAR (Cognitive Linguistics: Empirical Approaches to Russian) research group, in particular those members who authored and co-authored relevant publications: Anna Endresen, Julia Kuznetsova, Olga Lyashevskaya, Anastasia Makarova, Tore Nesset, and Svetlana Sokolova.
Review: The Forms Of Russian, Grant H. Lundberg
Review: The Forms Of Russian, Grant H. Lundberg
Russian Language Journal
The Forms of Russian is a traditional approach to the fundamentals of Russian morphology based largely on the work of Jakobson, Levin, Lipson and Townsend. It is essentially the introductory course on Russian morphology that many, if not most, working North American Slavists took in graduate school. The work arises from such a course taught over many years by the author. The book is clearly intended for future teachers of Russian. The two main goals of the book are (1) to make working with and using Russian easier and (2) to explain how to establish a systematic description of Russian. …
Review: Еда По-Русски В Зеркале Языка, Artemi Romanov
Review: Еда По-Русски В Зеркале Языка, Artemi Romanov
Russian Language Journal
“Еда по-русски...” это объемная, состоящая из пяти глав, коллективная монография, в написании которой участвовал представительный интернациональный коллектив исследователей из Австрии, Швейцарии и России. В книге читатель не найдет рецептов щей, борща, или кулебяки, не обнаружит рекомендаций по речевому поведению за русским столом, не отыщет экскурсов в этимологию названий русских блюд, не встретит идиоматического материала, базирующегося на пищевых и кулинарных словах и выражениях. Работа, кажется, в меньшей степени учитывает нужды и интересы филологов-русистов, студентов и аспирантов, изучающих русский язык, преподавателей русского языка как иностранного или же школьных учителей русского языка, а рассчитана больше на специалистов по деловой и межличностной коммуникации, социолингвистов, …

Review: Late And Post- Soviet Russian Literature: A Reader. Book 1: Perestroika And The Post-Soviet Period, Olga Mesropova
Russian Language Journal
Late and Post-Soviet Russian Literature: A Reader is a rich and informative classroom-oriented resource for students, scholars, and teachers alike.
