Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper considers the Russian construction of the form “NDAT bytʹ ne VINF”—one of several so-called “independent infinitive constructions.” This construction represents two syntactically discontinuous idioms: [X-u] ˹bytʹI.1 … ne˺11 [Y-nutʹ] ‘It is/was/will be impossible that X has done Y’ and [X-u] ˹bytʹI.1 … ne˺12 [Y-atʹ] ‘It will be impossible that X does Y’. The paper describes two illustrative sentences containing these idioms, giving and discussing their formal representations on the semantic, deep-syntactic and surface-syntactic levels; it also presents the lexical entries for both idioms with detailed linguistic comments. The problems of the “independent infinitives” in Russian and of phraseologically bound lexemes are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
