4. Morphophonemic Transcription • This gets a bit more interesting:

5. Morphophonemic, cont. • The reason why that is so interesting is because of the 3rd Person Pronouns • There are two realizations depending on the presence of a preposition! a) without preposition b) with preposition no prepositional case A его ее их A в него в нее в них G его ее их G у него у нее у них D ему ей им P о нем о ней о них I им ей ими Dк нему к ней к ним Iс ним с ней с ними

6. Derivational Morphology • Verbs • раздавать • dictionary meaning – to distribute • parts of the verb – раз / да / ва / ть • раз – p. 131 – dis, di, disperse, divide, spread • давать – to give • to give among a group • опускаться • dictionary meaning – to fall • parts of the verb – о / пуск (т) / а / ть / ся • о – p. 127 – encompassing, pervading • пускаться with на+ acc – to go down to • to go down all around

7. Derivational Morphology, cont. • влюбиться • dictionary meaning – to fall in love • parts of the verb – в / люб / и / ть / ся • в – p. 123 – in, into • любить – to love • ся – reflexive, directs the verb back onto the subject • into love (back to speaker)

8. Derivational Morphology, cont • Nouns • билетик • билет (ticket) + ик (a diminutive suffix – p. 197) • by combining the word ticket with the suffix we are left with something like a little ticket • confusion of suffixes…look at case clues! • кинозал • кино (movie) + зал (hall) • p. 201, subordination, the two words are combined to make one

9. Derivational Morphology, cont. • Adjectives • звёздный • what is making up this adjective? • звезда + н + ый • the root here is звезда – star • by adding н we are creating a relational adjective (209-11) • so…звёздные огни are star lights • qualitative vs. relational – context clues

10. Case Usage “Ее лицо ему до боли знакомо” [Her face – NOM to him – DAT until pain – GEN acquainted – NOM] Her face was familiar to him until it was painful. In this line we have: Nominative a name – Ее лицо Dative an experiencer - ему Genitive a goal – до боли Predicate – nominative an identity - знакомо

11. Case Usage, cont. “Он любит многое из творчества Блока” [He – NOM loves much – ACC from works Blok – GEN] Nominative a name – Он Accusative a destination – многое Genitive a source – из творчества Genitive a whole – Блока I think that this line is especially fun because of the double use of the genitive and the use of многое and the fact that многое must be in the neuter gender. 2

12. Case Usage, cont. • Miscellaneous phrases: …на город опускается вечер [on city – ACC falls night – NOM] This was interesting to me because it was a phrase construction that I didn’t expect in Russian. Билетик в кино [Ticket – NOM in movie – ACC] I thought this was interesting because it is, literally, a ticket into a movie; instead of some genitive constructionlike * билетик кино. Both of these phrases show how much Russian loves accusative showing motion, almost making new verbs of motion Где назначаются любимыми встречи [Where fix lovers – INST meeting – NOM] Nominative a name – встречи Instrumental a means - любимыми

13. Aspect Когда на город опускаетсяi вечер To me, this verb acts in several ways as an imperfective: 1) C – because the falling of the night is happening everyday 2) J – this verb is grounding the rest of the song and setting the scene В него влюбитьсяp очень легко C – when talking about falling in love, the end result of falling in love is what we want to know about

14. Aspect, cont. • Something interesting, the lack of perfective verbs • Why? • I think that because the song is talking about a date between two people, there is the idea that this happens for everyone • If this is happening for everyone, we need to have imperfectives • Like all pop-songs, it’s trying to appeal to a wide audience, hence the imperfectives • Use of the historical present, setting a scene The verbs in this song: опускаетсяIвлюбитьсяP назначаютсяIдарюI раздаетIлюбитI открываютсяI
