- Abstract: Russian substantivized adjectives and substantivized participles possess the grammatical features of nouns, adjectives, and participles simultaneously, thus constituting a special linguistic phenomenon characterized by “both this and that”. Within the framework of Babaytseva’s transitivity theory, this paper takes bol’noy and stolovaya as typical cases and draws on the Russian National Corpus to examine their usage in natural contexts. It reveals their degree of substantivization across three dimensions: syntactic function, semantic features, and lexicalization. It further explores the changing characteristics of their word class in different contexts and over time, in order to disclose the gradual nature of the Russian substantivization process.
