Student: Suvorova Maria

Supervisor: Tatiana Reznikova

Faculty: Faculty of Humanities

Educational Programme: Fundamental and Computational Linguistics (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2020

The central goal of the current research was to design a questionnaire for both manual and automated data collection in lexical typological studies of verbs of motion. We elaborated an automatic method to distinguish meanings basing our research principles on findings from previous theoretical lexical typological studies and frame-based approach to semantics. We experimented with verbs of falling in Russian and defined which features of syntactically manifested participants and their combinations matter while defining meanings. The resultant questionnaire is supposed to be applicable to data of other languages and thus become a useful tool for a simpler process of data collection.
