HIS REPORT is a summary of investigations concerning the mechanical translation of the Russian language into English. More specifically, this study has been concerned with Russian scientific writings, rather than with the Russian language in general. It is only within this limited sphere of "scientific Russian" that our mechanistic and perhaps naive approach is valid. In the first part of the r...

This article describes possibilities of using OntoLex as a model for creating an ontology of morpho-syntactic properties of the Russian language. For this purpose we analysed morpho-syntactic properties of Russian, given in LexInfo and then extended it with grammatical categories that are not represented or that are not correctly defined in LexInfo. The introduced supplements and adjustments en...

The present study investigates the extent of word-final devoicing in Russian for three groups of speakers: monolingual native Russian speakers (4 Ss), native Russian speakers with knowledge of English (7 Ss), and American English learners of Russian (9 Ss). Thirty-four minimal pairs of Russian words differing in the underlying voicing of word-final obstruents were recorded. Acoustic analysis fo...

Discharges in hydrogen, ignited by wire explosion, with current amplitude up to 1.5 MA were investigated. Channel diameter oscillations were observed on the photostreaks. Voltage and current curves correlated with the photostreaks. At initial gas pressure of 5-35 MPa the oscillation period was proportional to square root of atomic number of the initiating wire material. These oscillations were ...

This article traces the migration patterns of the Russian-Germans across international borders from their initial settlement in the Russian Empire starting in 1763 up to the present day. In particular it analyses the reasons behind these migration flows. Both push and pull factors motivated the immigration of ethnic Germans to the Russian Empire in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. ...

As a small Russian exclave some 300 kilometers away from the bulk of the Russian Federation, Kaliningrad Oblast is rarely mentioned in discussions of NATO expansion. (Kaliningrad is the Russian name of the city and oblast , or province. In German, the city now called Kaliningrad was long known as Königsberg; in Polish it was Królewiec; and in Lithuanian Karaliaucius. The Russian name will be us...

In this paper we describe the creation of large scale linguistic resources for Russian language. Internet/intranet system architecture was developed to make a large volume of Russian language lexical information, corpora (texts) and knowledge base (Russian WordNet) available to the system at development and/or run time. There are four linguistic counterparts, corresponding to the major categori...
