This book will appeal to students, scholars, and language professionals interested in Russian. Alan Timberlake refers to the literature on variation and trends in development, and makes use of contemporary data from the internet. More attention is paid to syntax than in any other grammars of Russian written in English or in other languages of Western Europe. Using predicate histories, the book presents an integrated account of the semantics of verbs, nouns, case, and aspect.
The core concept is that of the predicate history: a record of the states of entities through time and across possibilities.
It is especially concerned with the meaning of combinations of words (constructions). A Reference Grammar of Russian A Reference Grammar of Russian describes and systematizes all aspects of the grammar of Russian: the patterns of orthography, sounds, inflection, syntax, tense-aspect-mood, word order, and intonation.
