Examined online processing of morphological cues to sentence interpretation in Russian and German, evaluating the relative impact of cue availability and reliability. Using picture choices, researchers contrasted case-marking and animacy. Language differences in online processing existed, though both languages provided the same repertoire of…

Discusses the evolution and use of verb prefixes in Russian. The prefixes are classified by semantic content with subclasses of variants and problem verbs also given. (EKN)

This article is a contrastive study of the devices Russian and German dispose of in order to designate a receptacle with content and without it. The German opposition "Wodkaflasche-Flasche Wodka" is represented in Russian by four constructions: relational adjective, genitive, and prepositional forms ("s" and "iz-pod"). (SW)

Proposes a variation of the two-stem system of analyzing the Russian verb. The need for greater organization and systematization is stressed, as well as an increased focus on the great regularity of the Russian verb, and the relative simplicity of Russian verbal morphology. (SL)

Suggests aids to the acquisition of some of the basic features that are sources of difficulty in Russian verbs. The proposals concern form rather than function and are derived from regularity, overall frequency, and actual occurrence in textbooks. (EKN)

This is a preliminary report of a study of Russian accentuation. The research attempted to show that Russian accentuation is based on a partition of all morphemes, both stems and suffixes, into those with and those without inherent stress. Simple rules then account for all stress patterns observed. (CHK)

Discusses the grammatical form and meaning of Russian perfective verbs and contrasts them with derived imperfectives. A number of examples are provided and analyzed. (Text is in German.) (DH)

Evaluates alternative methods of teaching "troublesome" Russian verbs in present and future tenses. Approaches to finding consistent and simple methods of explanation are discussed. Two techniques include memorizing the third person plural and infinitives, or memorizing the single form (the single-stem system). Problem verbs and their stems are…
