National Research Projects
Lithuanian Particles and Discourse Structure from a Synchronic and Diachronic Perspective. (S-MIP-21-18). Assoc. Prof. Dr E. Jasionyt臈-Miku膷ionien臈. Participants: Assoc. Prof. Dr A. Ruskan, Assoc. Prof. Dr A. 艩olien臈. 2021鈥2024. The project aims to provide a thorough synchronic and diachronic account of Lithuanian particles belonging to different semantic classes. It focuses on the role of particles in discourse structure, establishes the connection between particles and different units of discourse, and examines the formation and development of particles within the processes of (inter)subjectification and lexicalisation, as well as specifying the status of particles in Lithuanian grammar based on a unifying methodology and new theoretical frameworks. The study will combine qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis.
Text Cohesion in Scientific Texts: a Corpus-Based Analysis of the Usage and Functions of Linking Devices. Assoc. Prof. Dr V. Zubaitien臈. Participants: Assoc. Prof. Dr S. Volungevi膷ien臈, PhD student A. Kulie拧ien臈. 2022鈥2024. The aim of the project is to investigate the frequency, structure, lexical environment, and multifunctionality of linking words in various Lithuanian scientific texts, identifying their logical semantic groups, as well as through comparison with their English and German counterparts.
Concepts DEMOCRACY, PATRIOTISM, TOLERANCE and the Analysis of Their Antonyms and Synonyms. Prof. Dr I. Smetonien臈. Participants: Assist. Prof. Dr M. Smetona, Prof. Dr Kristina Rutkovska. 2022鈥2024. The project aims to ascertain to what extent the meanings of words from other languages have changed in the Lithuanian context and what Lithuanians include in the concepts of DEMOCRACY, PATRIOTISM, and TOLERANCE. The research allows us to understand what a nation lives by, what it adopts as new and makes its own, what it rejects, and what it ignores.

The international dimension of the project enables the best practice acquired by the partners through other ERASMUS projects to be transferred; it provides a comparative angle to less-spoken languages of the EU (LV, LT, SL). This strategic partnership aims at innovation and good practices to promote literacy and up-skilling through the development of methodological and educational materials.

Lexicon and Discourse: Semantics, Idiomaticity, Vocabulary. Prof. I. 艩e拧kauskien臈. Participants: Dr J. Cibulskien臈, Dr R. Juknevi膷ien臈, Dr V. Kazlauskien臈, Dr B. Ryvityt臈, Dr L. Vilkait臈-Lozdien臈. 2019鈥2022. The project aims to investigate numerous lexical aspects of languages: the meaning of a word and a phrase, phraseology and collocations, lexicographic problems, lexical, semantic and pragmatic aspects of different discourses (legal, academic, public and mass media, humour, learner, etc.) in one language or across several languages. The task for 2022 focused on some cognitive aspects of language study: 1) identifying the key features of metaphoricity in different types of discourse focusing on public and legal discourse and 2) researching learner language (child language varieties L1 and L2, the language of Lithuanian emigrants), and corpus-based methodologies and their application in the analysis of phraseology in learner language.

Germanic and Romance Literary and Cultural Texts. Assoc. Prof. Dr R. 艩lapkauskait臈. 2019鈥2022. The department (in cooperation with the departments of French and German Philology as well as the Centre for Scandinavian Studies) has been carrying out investigations of literary trends, genres and problems of poetics, the development of literary traditions, the relationship of literary texts with Philosophy, Aesthetics, Psychology, Sociology, and other theoretical systems. Some of the academic staff have been continually doing research in the field of the history of Germanic works of literature and literature in Romance languages and publishing articles on related issues.

Germanic, Romance and Baltic Language Studies. Assoc. Prof. Dr J. 艩ink奴nien臈. 2019鈥2022. The linguists of the department carry out this research in close collaboration with their colleagues based at the Department of Italian linguistics and literature, the Department of French Philology, and the Department of the Lithuanian Language. The focus of the research is on the synchronic and diachronic analysis of language-specific features characteristic of the grammatical, lexical, and semantic structure of the languages under study. The range of research methods used and theoretical approaches followed varies greatly: from purely descriptive to functional, from cognitive to sociolinguistic, and from quantitative to qualitative analyses of authentic language data.
