To Be or Not To Be

[Valentina Zaitseva]

Dorogaia Eloise,

There is some interesting stuff in Apresian's nice, short and very
informative chapter ""Predvaritel'nye svedeniia o slovarnoi stat'e glagola
BYT",
in:
Iu. D. Apresian, 1995. Integral'noe opisanie iazyka i sistemnaia
leksikografiia, vol.. II. Moscow: "Iazyki Russkoi Kul'tury", pp. 511-514

Best,
Valentina
