As an international expert in computational
and Slavic linguistics, Prof. Dr. Avgustinova is part of the
research consortium at https://ruscorpora.ru/,
contributing to grammatical phenomena located at the
borderline between lexicon and syntax, which belong to the
area of the so-called microsyntax,
A primary goal is to investigatie the monolingual idiomaticity
in a multilingual mode of language use, in particular, the
comprehensibility of (Russian) microsyntactic phenomena to
speakers of mutually intelligible (Slavic) languages. The
linguistic units embrace non-compositional (idiomatic and
semi-idiomatic) multiword entities which are at the same time
grammatically idiosyncratic and therefore require specific
rules for adequate representation. The practical objective is
to design a comprehensive on-line resource encompassing the
multitude of conventionalised multi-word combinations
cross-linguistically. The idea to use microsyntactic phenomena
in didactic, cognitive and typological tasks is truly novel
and has not been explored before. As a result, creating a
multilingually parallel Slavic corpus and conducting
contrastive analyses will shape the core of a polyfunctional
multilingual database of microsyntactic equivalences. Such a
resource will be useful both for educational purposes and for
language-technology applications.
