A Reference Grammar of Russian

Overview

A Reference Grammar of Russian describes and systematizes all aspects of the grammar of Russian: patterns of orthography, sounds, inflection, syntax, tense-aspect-mood, word order, and intonation. It is especially concerned with the meaning of combinations of words (constructions). The core concept is that of the predicate history: a record of the states of entities through time and across possibilities. Using predicate histories, the book presents an integrated account of the semantics of verbs, nouns, case, and aspect. It will appeal to STUDENTS, SCHOLARS AND LANGUAGE PROFESSIONALS INTERESTED IN Russian.
