Swadesh's Translations into Russian

[LinguList]

Evgeniya Korovina mentioned this to me: Swadesh made his way to Russia via very influential translations from the 1960s, in particular, the series "novoe v lingvistike", which is digitally available here:

• http://www.classes.ru/grammar/148.new-in-linguistics-1/source/worddocuments/1.htm

We should add these lists as separate Swadesh lists, as they will reflect, how concepts were interpreted in the Russian world, and I am specifically curious how they treated our problem children, like "burn", "child", and to which degree this then reflects in Jakhontov's list, etc.

Steps for fixing this issue:

• [ ] type off lists to digital form
• [ ] link lists
• [ ] get reference (exact reference, with page numbers, and translator, in bibtex)

Even though this is an older issue, would this be something for Natalia to look at, @LinguList? There are definitely differences with respect to the Russian version of Swadesh-215 in the recent Concepticon and working on an already existing list might be a good entry point.

[LinguList]

Yes, it would also be a good exercise for making good references (e.g., having a bibliographic entry with a translation, etc.).

Does the link provided above work for you @LinguList? It doesn't work for me.

Page loads but is strange, do you mean that? I will check later and send data if I manage to get it.

The problem is a cookie that the site wants to set. I had do download the HTML and delete all javascripts.

They offer specifically images.

Typing this off should be done by somebody who knows Russian (maybe myself).
