Wobst, Susan – Russian Language Journal, 1981

Birkenmaier, Willy – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1977
Two consecutive sentences in Russian with the same verbal predicate often show an aspectual shift. The thematic role of the verb is underlined by lexical items that signal the communicative structure of the sentence. Interdependence between theme-rheme articulation is more important than the relationship between aspect and modality. (Text is in…

Cross-linguistic borrowing (overt use of words from the other language) and transfer (use of semantic or syntactic structures from the other language without active switching to that language) were examined during language production in Russian-English bilinguals.
