Applied, Experimental and Computational Linguistics

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.
