Download or read book Learn Russian Cases the Most Comprehensive Guide to the Russian Genitive Case written by Lyudmila Kovaleva-Tardiou and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-14 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Russian Genitive Case guide is not a simple book with grammar explanations. It is a whole course that will help you master the Russian Genitive case in a fun, engaging and easy way. Learning Russian cases can be a really daunting task if you use wrong materials with boring grammar explanations and complicated tables of endings. But this guide will show you that you can hack this system and understand how it works instead of merely memorizing tons of information. I have created this guide because I couldn't find a good book with easy, entertaining and full explanations of Russian cases. The majority of books just provide short and boring grammar explanations with no real-life examples and ready constructions to use. That is why many foreigners get frustrated as they cannot see the whole picture of each case. In this guide, you will find all possible situations when the Genitive case is needed. Moreover, you will learn lots of fixed expressions with the Genitive case that you will be able to use in your speech. The key to learning any grammar topics is through the context. You will discover some interesting tasks that will make you speak and use the Genitive case straight away. And the 'treasure' of this guide is a final story about a man named Gena (association with the Genitive case). This story contains all situations that require the use of the Genitive case. This story was created based on a TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) that is extremely effective for learning new languages. And in the end of the book you will find a good bonus that will put your Russian on the next level! Ну что, вы готовы? Поехали!

Download or read book The Way of the Linguist written by Steve Kaufmann and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey. It is now a cliché that the world is a smaller place. We think nothing of jumping on a plane to travel to another country or continent. The most exotic locations are now destinations for mass tourism. Small business people are dealing across frontiers and language barriers like never before. The Internet brings different languages and cultures to our finger-tips. English, the hybrid language of an island at the western extremity of Europe seems to have an unrivalled position as an international medium of communication. But historically periods of cultural and economic domination have never lasted forever. Do we not lose something by relying on the wide spread use of English rather than discovering other languages and cultures? As citizens of this shrunken world, would we not be better off if we were able to speak a few languages other than our own? The answer is obviously yes. Certainly Steve Kaufmann thinks so, and in his busy life as a diplomat and businessman he managed to learn to speak nine languages fluently and observe first hand some of the dominant cultures of Europe and Asia. Why do not more people do the same? In his book The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey, Steve offers some answers. Steve feels anyone can learn a language if they want to. He points out some of the obstacles that hold people back. Drawing on his adventures in Europe and Asia, as a student and businessman, he describes the rewards that come from knowing languages. He relates his evolution as a language learner, abroad and back in his native Canada and explains the kind of attitude that will enable others to achieve second language fluency. Many people have taken on the challenge of language learning but have been frustrated by their lack of success. This book offers detailed advice on the kind of study practices that will achieve language breakthroughs. Steve has developed a language learning system available online at: www.thelinguist.com.

Download or read book Russian Cases Conjugate Russian Nouns Pronouns and Adjectives like a Pro written by Darya Gunay and published by Darya Gunay. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cases are the backbone of the Russian sentence structure. However, for many Russian language learners, cases remain a stumbling stone. This is because nouns, pronouns, and adjectives conjugate in Russian (change their endings) which makes these words look different within a text. The good news is: you can actually learn the conjugation rules and understand the context for using each case. Everything else you learn in Russian will group around cases, just like the walls of a house are built on its foundation. This e-book will help you understand the Russian case system. What is included: ✓ Each chapter dedicated to a specific case describes the exact situations when each case is used ✓ Easy-to-use color-coded conjugation tables (tables with endings along with 500 examples) ✓ Exercises for each case ✓ Keys to all exercises at the end of the book ✓ Bonus: a text in Russian where each noun is "decoded" to illustrate the use of cases within phrases. This way you can go back to the book chapters and review the usage. This 2nd edition is significantly improved based on readers' feedback: tables are enlarged, more examples are given. A special focus is put on immediate practice: short exercises at the end of each chapter along with the keys. This will help you put the newly acquired knowledge into action and check if you understood everything correctly. Complementary chapters give an overview of the gender system of Russian nouns and their plural forms. "Russian Cases: Conjugate Russian Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives Like a Pro" is probably the most comprehensive resource on Russian cases you may come across. Keep it nearby and refer to it when necessary. Happy learning!

Download or read book The Genitive written by Anne Carlier and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the fifth in the series Case and Grammatical Relations across Languages, is devoted to genitive constructions in a range of Indo-European languages (Russian, French, Romanian, German and Swedish), as well as Finnish, Bantu languages and Northern Akhvakh (Northeast Caucasian). Definitions of genitives typically start out from the notion of an inflectional marker, often suffixal, that marks dependency relations of a noun phrase with respect to another noun phrase and conveys possessive meaning. The contributions in this volume demonstrate a huge range of variation in genitives, semantically (from possessive meaning to generalized dependency), morphologically (from affixes to different types of clitics) and syntactically (from adnominal uses to argument relations and adjunct uses). The volume contains both general surveys of genitives and case studies of the semantics, pragmatics and historical development of specific genitive constructions. It will be of interest to scholars and students in syntax, semantics, morphology, typology, and historical linguistics.

Download or read book A Reference Grammar of Russian written by Alan Timberlake and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-22 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and systematizes all aspects of the grammar of Russian: the patterns of orthography, sounds, inflection, syntax, tense-aspect-mood, word order, and intonation. It is especially concerned with the meaning of combinations of words (constructions). The core concept is that of the predicate history: a record of the states of entities through time and across possibilities. Using predicate histories, the book presents an integrated account of the semantics of verbs, nouns, case, and aspect. More attention is paid to syntax than in any other grammars of Russian written in English or in other languages of Western Europe. Alan Timberlake refers to the literature on variation and trends in development, and makes use of contemporary data from the internet. This book will appeal to students, scholars and language professionals interested in Russian.

Download or read book Impossible Languages written by Andrea Moro and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation into the possibility of impossible languages, searching for the indelible “fingerprint” of human language. Can there be such a thing as an impossible human language? A biologist could describe an impossible animal as one that goes against the physical laws of nature (entropy, for example, or gravity). Are there any such laws that constrain languages? In this book, Andrea Moro—a distinguished linguist and neuroscientist—investigates the possibility of impossible languages, searching, as he does so, for the indelible “fingerprint” of human language. Moro shows how the very notion of impossible languages has helped shape research on the ultimate aim of linguistics: to define the class of possible human languages. He takes us beyond the boundaries of Babel, to the set of properties that, despite appearances, all languages share, and explores the sources of that order, drawing on scientific experiments he himself helped design. Moro compares syntax to the reverse side of a tapestry revealing a hidden and apparently intricate structure. He describes the brain as a sieve, considers the reality of (linguistic) trees, and listens for the sound of thought by recording electrical activity in the brain. Words and sentences, he tells us, are like symphonies and constellations: they have no content of their own; they exist because we listen to them and look at them. We are part of the data.
