After a month of hard work and countless consultations, our fellows in Russian studies finally presented their research drafts at thePushkin Institute — the result of weeks of writing under the close guidance of their academic supervisors.
Here’s just a glimpse of what they’ve been working on:
Teaching Russian as a foreign language to Algerian learners
Pragmatic adaptation in audiovisual translation from Arabic into Russian (based on the Egyptian film The River of Love)
Lingua-semiotic features of polycode perfume ads on the Russian Internet
Cognitive processes behind causal prepositional-case constructions in Russian
Pictorial imagery in classical Russian literature
And we’ll be honest: even for native speakers, some of these topics sound like brain gymnastics.
Now comes the "easy" part: formatting, footnotes, final polishing — and selecting the right journal for publication!
The InteRussia program in Russian studies is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and the Pushkin Institute, with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
