Current projects

Richard Schupbach is particularly interested in the interaction of styles in the Russian language. Each has its own grammatical system and they seem to be exchanging affixes and prepositional usages. This has its effects on the use of the cases in the language as a whole and should lead to rapid changes in the grammar of Russian. He intends to pursue this line of enquiry with his colleague at MGU, Anatolij Polikarpov.
