Replication Data for: Looking into the Russian future

This dataset concerns the data for the article that covers the topic of future tense meanings in Russian. Abstract: The relationship between future time and future tense forms in Russian is complex. The forms traditionally attributed to the future tense in certain cases do not refer to future time. Those cases have been previously presented as a list and/or attributed to the sphere of modality. In this article, we suggest a data-driven approach applied to the spectrum of meanings of Russian future tense forms. We analyzed corpus data and discovered that 44% of perfective future forms and 22% of imperfective future forms do not unambiguously express future time meaning. Among the non-future time meanings that Russian future tense forms can express are Gnomic, Performative, Implicative, Hypothetical, Alternation, and Stable scenario. Furthermore, we propose that the meanings of the future tense constitute a radial category. Future time reference is the prototypical meaning of the future tense. The remaining meanings comprise extensions connected to the prototypical meaning. We describe the radial category with reference to Langacker’s (2008) model of tense and potentiality. Additionally, we explore the interaction of future tense and modality.本数据集关联一篇以俄语将来时语义为主题的学术论文所用数据。摘要：俄语中未来时间与将来时形式之间的关系颇为复杂。传统上被归为将来时的形式，在部分语境下并不指向未来时间。此前这类情况常被整理为清单列表，或归入情态范畴。本文提出一种数据驱动的研究方法，用于分析俄语将来时形式的语义谱系。我们通过对语料库数据的分析发现，44%的完成体将来时形式与22%的未完成体将来时形式，无法明确表达未来时间语义。俄语将来时形式所能表达的非未来时间语义包括：普遍陈述义（Gnomic）、施为义（Performative）、暗含义（Implicative）、假设义（Hypothetical）、交替义（Alternation）与稳定场景义（Stable scenario）。此外，本文提出将来时的语义构成一个辐射范畴：未来时间指称是将来时的原型语义，其余语义均为与原型语义相关的延伸义项。本文结合Langacker（2008）提出的时态与潜在性模型，对该辐射范畴进行阐释。此外，本文还探讨了将来时与情态的交互关系。
