Abstract:

This dataset concerns the data for the article that covers the topic of variation in speech acts of request with the modal word možno in Russian. I explore the ongoing language change in which the impersonal modal word možno ‘can, be possible’ takes a personal clause (možno + NOM) as its complement instead of the Experiencer in the Dative case (možno + DAT) and the infinitival clause in the speech act of request in Contemporary Russian. The corpus-based evidence reveals that the construction možno + DAT is gradually being replaced by možno + NOM. I discuss various syntactic and pragmatic factors such as verb class, aspect, transitivity and politeness strategies that motivate the choice of a modal construction. Methods of statistical modelling, used to sort out the most significant factors contributing to the choice of construction, show that the most important factor is the date of creation of the text.

Methodology and Processing

Sources Statement

Data Sources:

<p>The raw data annotated and enriched in the tabular files in this Dataset have been obtained from the following source as described in the README file contained in this dataset:</p> <p></p> <p>The Russian National Corpus (RNC); available at <a href="https://ruscorpora.ru/" title="RNC" target="_blank">https://ruscorpora.ru/</a>; used under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/" title="TermsOfUse" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/</a>).</p> <p></p> <p>Note: As confirmed by the Russian National Corpus (RNC; see the file "08TermsOfUseForTheRussianNationalCorpus.pdf" contained in this Dataset), the NoDerivatives (ND) restriction of the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license of the Russian National Corpus (RNC) only applies to the actual text extracts from the RNC. This means that the text extracts as contained in the tabular files in this Dataset must not be changed, e.g., by combining them together to a coherent text (something which anyway won't be possible or desirable), but researchers are allowed to integrate the Dataset as long as they do not change the RNC extracts. </p>
