&
Pages 403-414 | Published online: 04 Dec 2015

  • We shall use the term “adverb” only in the morphological sense and “adverbial modifier” in the syntactical (cf. Unbegaun, B. O., Russian Grammar, Oxford, 1957, pp. 289 and 293).
  • The term “micro-glossary” was first used by V. A. Oswald to denote a dictionary composed out of a branch of a given scientific field—for example, Atomic Physics. See V. A. Oswald, “Microsemantics”, mimeographed at the University of California at Los Angeles, 10 pages, June, 1952.
  • By “suffixes” we mean here both flectional and derivational morphemes, i. e., both “suffixee” and “endings”.
  • There are other possibilities for expressing the present tense of “to be” with which we are not concerned here, such as sentences of the type “She is a student”, “it is not here, but there”, etc.
  • Research in utilizing the dash as a physical form signaling a syntactic function has already begun in our laboratory but has not, as yet, been brought to completion.
  • K. E. Harper, “A Preliminary Study of Russian,” Mechanical Translation of Languages, The Technology Press of Mass. Institte of Technology and John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1955.
  • Our sample was chosen from Žhurnal Ėksperimental' noj i Teoreličeskoj Fiziki, Vol. 28, No 1, pp. 1-128, 1955.
  • The short-form adjective in -o and the adverb -o as well as the comparative degree of both adjective and adverb, which are homographs, are treated by most grammarians as the same part of speech, namely adjective.
  • We shall use the term “adjective” in its regular grammatical meaning and “Adjective Class Members” (ACM) to include the adjectives and participles.
  • These include words like možno, nel'zja, možet byt', dolžng, neobxodimo, as well as vozmožnost', neobxodimost', etc.
