AI-generated Abstract

The paper explores the Russian Genitive of Negation construction, examining the complexity of its usage involving case alternation among Genitive, Nominative, and Accusative. Key factors influencing these syntactic, morphological, and semantic variations are analyzed, alongside the effects of pragmatics and lexical semantics. Ongoing debates in the field highlight the incomplete understanding of this construction despite previous research efforts.
