Research project led by Natalia Zevakhina is called "When the verb is not a verb: non-finite constructions in the languages of Russia". Its goal is to compile and analyse language data on non-finite polypredicative constructions and, as a result, to unveil the typological and theoretical patterns of their use. The project includes the Uralic and Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages, as well as languages of the Caucasus.
