Outline Conjunctions (и, а, но́) Numbers Present tense pseudo-quiz The single-stem verb
by memorizing only one form
(Okay, and a few rules)

Слайд 3

The conjunctions и, а, and но́

Three conjunctions that correspond to the two

The conjunctions и, а, and но́ Three conjunctions that correspond to the
English conjunctions ‘and’ and ‘but’
но́ is stressed, the other two are unstressed
Always write a comma before но́ and а
Do not write a comma before и (most of the time)
Never use a “serial comma”
Ivan, Dmitrij, and Fedor live in Moscow.
Ivan, Dmitrij and Fedor live in Moscow.
Ива́н, Дми́трий и Фёдор живу́т в Москве́.

Слайд 4

и

и combines two things that are alike, with no expression of contrast

и и combines two things that are alike, with no expression of
or contradiction
Мы́ чита́ем и пи́шем хорошо́.
The subject is the same (мы́) and we do both things well.
The only difference is that there are two activities.
Мы́ пи́шем хорошо́ и вы́ пи́шете хорошо́.
The activity is the same (writing) and everyone does it well.
The only difference is that there are two subjects.

Слайд 5

но́

но́ implies contradiction
One clause sets up an expectation that is then frustrated

но́ но́ implies contradiction One clause sets up an expectation that is
in the other
Мы́ пи́шем хорошо́, но́ ме́дленно.
Most people who write well don’t have to qualify such a statement by adding that they have to do it slowly.
Good writing suggests writing at a normal speed, so having to do it slowly frustrates the normal expectation.
Usually one difference (“we” and “write” are constant, but the adverb [“well”/“slowly”] changes)

Слайд 6

а

а implies contrast, but not contradiction
Мы́ пи́шем хорошо́, а вы́ пи́шете пло́хо.
On

а а implies contrast, but not contradiction Мы́ пи́шем хорошо́, а вы́
the one hand, we write well, but, on the other hand, you write poorly
We write well, whereas you write poorly.
There is no expectation that if we write well, you should also write well (that is, there is no contradiction)
Reversing the order of the clauses doesn’t change the meaning
Usually two differences (“write” is constant, but “we”/“you” and “well”/“poorly” varies)

How to use numbers

Surprisingly, numbers are not normally followed by the nominative

How to use numbers Surprisingly, numbers are not normally followed by the
plural (!)
Numbers are normally followed by case forms we haven’t learned yet (coming in Unit 6)
Notice SAM, p. 57, ex. Б, with different forms of the word for “ruble” after different numbers
This means that we don’t yet know how to count things
We do know how to recognize telephone numbers, addresses, prices, etc.
We don’t know how to say “I have six cats and four dogs”

Present tense pseudo-quiz

In the ёт conjugation, when do we write –у (e.g.,

Present tense pseudo-quiz In the ёт conjugation, when do we write –у
я́ пишу́, они́ пи́шут) and when do we write –ю (e.g., я́ зна́ю, они́ зна́ют)?
It depends on the place of stress.
It depends on whether there is a /j/ sound before the ending.
It depends on whether the other forms have е or ё.
It must be memorized for each verb.

Слайд 13

Present tense pseudo-quiz

In –ёт conjugation verbs, when do we write ё (e.g.,

Present tense pseudo-quiz In –ёт conjugation verbs, when do we write ё
о́н живёт) and when do we write е (e.g., о́н пи́шет)?
It depends on the place of stress.
It depends on whether there is a /j/ sound before the ending.
It depends on whether the они́ form uses –ут or –ят.
It must be memorized for each verb.

Слайд 14

Present tense pseudo-quiz

What is the difference in stress patterns between conjugation type

Present tense pseudo-quiz What is the difference in stress patterns between conjugation
(–ёт vs –ит) and stress?
–ит conjugation verbs always have mobile stress.
–ёт conjugation verbs always have end stress.
–ит conjugation verbs always have end stress.
There is no correlation between conjugation type and stress.

Слайд 15

Present tense pseudo-quiz

In –ит conjugation verbs, when is the ending for the

Present tense pseudo-quiz In –ит conjugation verbs, when is the ending for
я́ form –у and when is it –ю?
It depends on the place of stress.
It depends on whether there is a /j/ sound before the ending.
It is always –ю.
It must be memorized for each verb.
(As far as we know.)

How to learn verb forms

What forms should you memorize, and which ones

How to learn verb forms What forms should you memorize, and which
can you derive by rule?
The infinitive has no predicative power
чита́ть, чита́ю
писа́ть, пишу́ (not *писа́ю)
жи́ть, живу́
говори́ть, говорю́ (not *говори́ву)
The present tense has no predictive power
живу́, жи́ть
пишу́, писа́ть (not *пи́ть)
Your textbook tells you to memorize four forms for each verb: infinitive plus three present-tense (я́, ты́, они́)
You can cut that down to just one form per verb

Слайд 18

The single-stem verb system

For each verb, memorize a single stem
Derive all forms

The single-stem verb system For each verb, memorize a single stem Derive
from that single stem by rules
Pro: Much less memorization
Are you comfortable with learning systems and applying rules?
Con: The stem and the rules are abstract
Would you prefer to avoid abstraction, even if doing so requires more memorization?
Disclosure: The presentation here is slightly simplified because you know only seven verbs

Stems and endings As with nouns and adjectives, think in terms of
not letters
Like nouns and adjectives, verb forms are made by combining stems and endings
Stems may end in consonant sounds or vowel sounds
Endings may begin with consonant sounds or vowel sounds

The parts of a Russian verb form

Root
Always ends in a consonant

The parts of a Russian verb form Root Always ends in a

Lexical part of the verb, e.g., /čit/ ‘read’
Suffix
Provides information about how the verb is conjugated, e.g., /-aj+/
Stem
Combination of root plus suffix, e.g., /čit-áj+/
Some verbs are unsuffixed, e.g., /živ+/
Grammatical ending
Tense, number, person, and gender e.g., /u/ in чита́ю = first person singular present tense

Слайд 22

Working with stems and endings

Think of words and their parts in terms

Working with stems and endings Think of words and their parts in
of sounds, not letters
чита́ю has five letters but six sounds /čitáju/
The stem is the sounds /čitáj/
The ending is the sound /u/
The stem is not a real word
You have to add an ending to it to make it a real word
The stem is useful because you can derive real words from it by following the rules
If you memorize one stem for each verb, plus the general rules, you don’t need to memorize any other forms

Слайд 23

Suffixes and conjugations

There are two conjugations in Russian
–ёт and –ит
Suffixes indicate conjugation

Suffixes and conjugations There are two conjugations in Russian –ёт and –ит
unambiguously
There are about a dozen suffixes
You know four suffix types
/–aj+/, /–a+/, /–i+/, and non-suffixed verbs
Of the types you know
/–i+/ is ит-conjugation
all others are ёт-conjugation

Слайд 24

–ёт conjugation

As always in Russian, unstressed ё loses its dots and is

–ёт conjugation As always in Russian, unstressed ё loses its dots and
pronounced like е.
живёт /živ’ót/, пи́шет /píšet/, and чита́ет /čitájet/ have the same ending: /–'ot/
живу́ /živú/, пишу́ /pišú/, and чита́ю /čitáju/ have the same ending: /–u/

Juncture The meeting of stem and ending is called juncture When two
meet (C+V or V+C)
Stable juncture
Nothing happens
When two like things meet (C+C or V+V)
Unstable juncture
Something (predictable) happens

Слайд 28

When two unlike things meet (C+V or V+C)

Stable juncture

When two like things meet (C+C or V+V)

Unstable juncture
Something (predictable!) happens
C+C: Truncation of

When two like things meet (C+C or V+V) Unstable juncture Something (predictable!)
the first item
/živ+t’/ = жи́ть
/v/ is truncated
V+V: Truncation of the first item and mutation of the preceding consonant
/p’is–a+u/ = пишу́
/a/ is truncated and /s/ mutates to /š/

Слайд 30

Truncation is easy

No truncation at stable junctures (C+V, V+C)
Nothing interesting happens at

Truncation is easy No truncation at stable junctures (C+V, V+C) Nothing interesting
stable junctures
At unstable junctures (C+C or V+V)
C+C truncation: delete the first consonant
/živ+t’/ = жи́ть /žit’/
/čit–áj+l/ = чита́л /čitál/
V+V truncation: delete the first vowel
/govor’–í+’u/ = говорю /govor’ú/
/govor’–í+iš/ = говори́шь /govoríš/

Слайд 31

Mutation is easy

At V+V junctures, the consonant before the first vowel mutates

Mutation is easy At V+V junctures, the consonant before the first vowel
(changes to another consonant)
V+V mutation
If a consonant mutates, it always mutates to the same thing
/r/ doesn’t mutate
/s/ mutates only to /š/
/govor’–í+u/
V+V truncation: /govor’u/
V+V mutation (/r/ doesn’t mutate): /govor’ú/ = говорю́
/p’is–a+u/
V+V truncation: /p’isu/
V+V mutation (/s/ mutates to /š/): /p’išú/ = пишу́

Слайд 32

How do you know what mutates to what?

Your instructors tell you
So far
/r/

How do you know what mutates to what? Your instructors tell you
doesn’t mutate
This means that when you learn the verb дари́ть ‘to give,’ with the stem /dar’–i/, you will know that the я́ form has to be я́ дарю́ (truncation but no mutation)
/s/ always mutates to /š/
This means that when you learn the verb чеса́ть ‘scratch; comb,’ with the stem /čes–a+/, you will know that the я́ form has to be я́ чешу́ (truncation plus mutation)

Слайд 33

Past tense

The past-tense endings are /l, la, lo, l’i/
All past-tense endings begin

Past tense The past-tense endings are /l, la, lo, l’i/ All past-tense
with a consonant sound
If the stem ends in a vowel sound (/p’is–a+/, /govor’–í+/)
Adding a past ending produces a stable juncture (V+C)
Just add the stem and ending
/p’is–a+l/ = писа́л
/govor’–í+la/ = говори́ла
If the stem ends in a consonant sound (/živ+/, /čit–áj+/)
Adding a past ending produces an unstable juncture (C+C)
Truncation of first consonant
/živ+l/ = жи́л /čit–áj+la/ = чита́ла

Infinitive The infinitive ending for most verbs (and all verbs we know
far) is /t’/
The infinitive ending begins with a consonant sound
If the stem ends in a vowel sound (/p’is–a+/, /govor’–í+/)
Adding an infinitive ending produces a stable juncture (V+C)
Just add the stem and ending
/p’is–a+t’/ = писа́ть
