Job description

I am a member of CLEAR research group at the Department of Language and Culture, Faculty of Humanities, Social Siences and Education at UiT. I work on building new research-based electronic resources for Russian (the Russian Constructicon and Construxercise!) and Ukrainian (the Ukrainian Constructicon).

 

In 2018-2022, I worked on the project "Constructional Landscape of Russian Syntax: Modeling native speakers' knowledge for second language learners (CLARUS)." The main objective was to build and calibrate the Russian Constructicon, an open-access electronic resource that offers a searchable database of over 2200 multiword syntactic constructions accompanied with thorough descriptions of their properties (available here).

 

In 2022, I led a project on building a new educational resource called Construxercise! for students and instructors of L2 Russian.

 

My duties include

• data collection and analysis of Russian and Ukrainian grammatical constructions;
• dissemination of research results;
• work on the content of the Russian Constructicon electronic resource;
• work on the interface of the the Ukrainian Constructicon electronic resource;
• building the Construxercise! resource that hosts over 150 practical exercises on Russian discourse constructions;
• organizing an international advanced PhD course on constructicon-building  “Constructicography: Advanced Topics in Construction Grammar” (held in Spring 2023);

Earlier I also worked on 

• organizing and running weekly on-line meetings of project members from different research institutions in two/three different countries (2018-2022);
• co-organizing a LingPhil PhD course "Aspect across languages and linguistic schools" (UiT, Fall 2019, course plan);
• co-organizing an academic conference "Aspect in the Arctic" (UiT, Fall 2019);
• organizing a November Seminar in Russian Studies at UiT (Novemberseminaret i russisk, November 2019);
• co-organizing SCLC-2020: Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Conference (UiT, June 3-6, 2021);
• co-organizing the Summer Seminar of the Norwegian Cognitive Linguistics Association (NORKOGs sommerseminaret, June 10-11, 2021)
