“…The general level of speech culture and literacy of the population is decreasing (Kolyaseva, 2018;Pekelis, 2018); Russian language native speakers continue to saturate its lexical composition with jargon, which entails blurring the boundaries of functional styles, that questions the normativity of communicative situations and their models that are significant for Russian linguistic culture. The other side of the jargon implication is the displacement of the native Russian literary vocabulary, which, ultimately, leads not only to the change in the angle of perception of ethical representations of the nation, but also to their deconstruction.…”

Evaluative constructions involving tough-predicates (e.g., This hill is difficult to climb) present atypical structure-to-meaning mappings and vary across languages: in some languages (e.g., English/French), speakers typically use so-called tough-constructions (TCs) in which the syntactic subject of the matrix sentence is logically the missing object of the infinitive; in others (e.g., Russian), speakers opt for a variety of functional analogues (e.g., passive, impersonal constructions). The aim of this paper is to explore English TCs involving difficult and easy adjectives, compare them to French and Russian analogues based on a parallel-corpus, and investigate how specific semantic properties (animacy, transitivity, adjective scope) relate to specific (more or less compact) configurations. The results show that French and Russian have similar functional analogues and only partially share the structural properties of English TCs. The findings support a multidimensional account based on the inherent semantic properties of evaluative constructions and their degree of compactness.
