The Structural Design of Language

By Thomas S. Stroik, Michael T. Putnam

In this book, Stroik and Putnam take on Turing's challenge. They argue that the narrow syntax – the lexicon, the Numeration, and the computational system – must reside, for reasons of conceptual necessity, within the performance systems.

A week ago I asked for help in looking for research papers on language
interference (Russian-English, Russian-German). I am very grateful to
everybody who answered me.

If anybody is also interested in this aspect, here is a summary of the
answers that I got (some of them I left unchanged, some of them are
translated from German into English, the rest is a little bit modified).

“The first thing that has crossed my mind is Volga Germans -
what you probably now yourself very well... There is a lot of
publications about them.

Then - I do not know if the Russian speaking people coming back
to their ancestors land (Germany) from for example Kazakhstan or
Ukraine were examined by someone - if so, there should be some
sociological works about it.

Then you may thing about language islands, Germanic in Slavonic
surrounding and vice versa.

On the field of glottodidactics a lot of work has been done on
the example of bilinguial children as well as people LEARNING
Russian/German as a foreign language (usually the titles may
content words like: ''the most common mistakes'' or something).”

This article is about an experiment in which L1-Russians with
L2-English rated the frequency of use of English words, and it turned out
wordsthat have cognates in Russian got higher ratings than in the control
group of English monolinguals.

“If you are interested in English loanwords in Russian and their adaptation
on the main linguistic levels (orthographic, phonological, morphological
and semantic), I'd like to draw your attention to the book by R. Filipovic
