Janda, Laura A., 2014, "Why Russian Prefixes Aren’t Empty", https://doi.org/10.18710/OHPUPU, DataverseNO, V2
Publication abstract: We claim that Russian verbal prefixes always express meaning, even when they are used to form the perfective partners of aspectual pairs. The prefixes in verbs like написать/na-pisat’ ‘write’ and сварить/s-varit’ ‘cook’ have a semantic purpose, even though t... |

North Saami is replacing the use of possessive suffixes on nouns with a morphologically simpler analytic construction. Our data (>2K examples culled from >.5M words) track this change through three generations and parameters of semantics, syntax, and geography. Intense contact pr... |

Endresen, Anna; Janda, Laura A.; Reynolds, Robert; Tyers, Francis M., 2016, "Replication data for: Who needs particles? A challenge to the classification of particles as a part of speech in Russian", https://doi.org/10.18710/700FNV, DataverseNO, V1
In 1985, Zwicky argued that “particle” is a pretheoretical notion that should be eliminated from linguistic analysis. We propose a reclassification of Russian particles that implements Zwicky’s directive. Russian particles lack a coherent conceptual basis as a category and many a... |

We provide supplementary materials for a paper that contributes to the ongoing debate over Likert scale experiments, in particular the issues of how to treat acceptability judgment data (as ordinal or interval) and what statistical model is appropriate to apply. We analyze experi... |

Antonsen, Lene; Janda, Laura A., 2015, "Replication data for: Possessive constructions in North Saami prose", https://doi.org/10.18710/SE00DS, DataverseNO, V2
We present an analysis of nearly 4K examples of possessive constructions extracted from nearly 0.7M words of North Saami prose representing works of authors born in three time periods (1870-1927, 1947-1957, 1972-1983), plus a recent (1998) translation of the New Testament. The ex... |

Eckhoff, Hanne M.; Nesset, Tore; Janda, Laura A., 2014, "Replication data for: Old Church Slavonic byti Part One and Part Two", https://doi.org/10.18710/P9REAV, DataverseNO, V2
Abstract Part One. There is controversy over whether byti ‘be’ in Old Church Slavonic functioned as an imperfective verb with an unusually large number of inflected forms or as an aspectual pair of verbs, reflecting its suppletive origin from two stems (es- and bū-). We offer an... |

Janda, Laura A.; Antonsen, Lene; Baal, Berit Anne Bals, 2014, "Four North Saami Ambipositions", https://doi.org/10.18710/S5SXRG, DataverseNO, V1
We present a study of four North Sámi adpositions that can be used as both prepositions and postpositions and thus be termed “ambipositions”. We advance three hypotheses concerning 1) dialectal differences in use of ambipositions in North Sámi, 2) differences between their use... |

Publication abstract: A foundational goal of cognitive linguistics is to explain linguistic phenomena in terms of general cognitive strategies rather than postulating an autonomous language module (Langacker 1987: 12-13). Metonymy is identified among the imaginative capacities of... |
