How ‘here’ and ‘now’ in Russian and English establish joint attention in TV news broadcasts
2013
Overview
This article presents a thorough investigation of the five Russian deictic words that correspond to the English meanings ‘here’ and ‘now’:
zdes’
,
tut
,
sejčas
,
teper’
and
vot
. We analyze data from the Russian National Corpus and data from Russian TV news broadcasts. On the basis of the corpus data, we propose a radial category network consisting of nine subcategories, which encompass all five words, and show that although the deictic words have overlapping distributions, they all have distinct ‘radial category profiles’ in the sense that they display different centers of gravity in the network. We advance the ‘Minimal Adaptation Hypothesis’, according to which language makes adaptations that are as small as possible, when applied to a new setting, such as the one created by TV.
