Nominal ellipsis reveals concord in Moksha Mordvin

Syntax, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 355-403, December 2023., 2023
Abstract On the basis of original data from Moksha Mordvin (Finno‐Ugric), I argue that some languages have nominal concord even though modifiers of the noun generally do not show inflection.

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 506-525, November 2023., 2023
Abstract ‘Semilingualism’ is one of the most questionable theories produced in the language sciences. Yet, little is known about its origins.

Saying Yes without Yes: The Positive Response System in Latin

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 1, Page 65-90, March 2023., 2023

It aims to determine their functions and division of labour and to establish what kind of agreement strategy existed in Latin, based on the typology of positive response systems by Sadock and Zwicky (1985)

An autoencoder-based neural network model for selectional preference: evidence from pseudo-disambiguation and cloze tasks

Evolution and Spread of Politeness Systems in Indo‐European

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 1, Page 152-167, March 2023., 2023
Abstract In this paper, we investigate the phenomenon of pronominal politeness in the Indo‐European languages and demonstrate that the processes of change of pronominal systems related to politeness follow two evolutionary regimes, one inside the ‘Standard Average European’ (SAE) linguistic area and another outside of it.

Eesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2015
The paper discusses cases in which referents that have not been mentioned previously are assessed without any overt mention of those referents but are rather made accessible through multimodal means, which are finely calibrated with what else is going on
