title: THE RUSSIAN CONSTRUCTION CHTO X, CHTO Y: ISSUES IN ITS SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS

dc.contributor.author

value: Tiskin, Daniel B.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Russian coordinative construction chto X, chto Y ‘whether X or Y; both X and Y’ merits
attention for several reasons: first, due to the absence of systematic corpus-based studies
of its use; second, due to the lack of clarity as to the composition of its meaning from
those of its parts, including chto itself, which has a multitude of uses in Russian; and finally,
due to the complexity of the relations between the multiple uses of chto. This paper
undertakes a quantitative study of the construction in the main corpus of the Russian
National Corpus, establishing the emergence of purely conjunctive uses on a par with pre-existing free choice uses and embedded alternative question uses, which appear to
be going out of use. Further, I interpret free choice uses as an instance of the unconditional
(concessive conditional) construction known from the literature to be segmented
into two clausal parts and to involve no overt conditional complementiser, just as Russian
uses in question behave. Basing on this observation, I suggest that the three kinds of uses
share the same semantics of the construction, i. e. the alternative set {X, Y}, and show
how the meanings of three requisite types can be derived from it. Finally, the connection
between chto and alternative set formation calls for a new look on the relation between
pronominal and complementiser uses of chto where the emergence of the latter is mediated
by a stage at which the pronominal chto occupies a projection associated with
clausal polarity. Refs 20.

title: THE SPECIFICS OF THE IMAGE COMPONENT OF THE NEW CULTURAL-HUMANITARIAN HOLIDAYS IN RUSSIA

dc.contributor.author

value: Buzalskaia, Elena

dc.description.abstract

value:
The author aims to determine the denotation-reference map of new cultural and humanitarian
holidays reflected in modern calendars. As a result of the survey of native speakers
(234 people aged 17 to 70 years), only 20 holidays out of 50 passed the five percent
threshold for knowledge of the existence of a holiday. Some of them are not related to religious or mythological systems, others refer to religious and mythological systems.
The second part of the study was conducted in order to identify those holidays that have
repetitive patterns of behavior. It was revealed that only 12 new calendar dates have such
properties (International Day of Friendship; Intenational Yoga Day; World Kissing Day / International
Kiss Day; International Cat Day, International Coffee Day; International Dance
Holiday; International Hug Day; Earth Hour; Halloween; Day of the Dead; St Patrick’s Day;
Valentine’s Day). The third stage was the identification of typical actions and holiday-related
objects using a distributive analysis of the contexts describing them in the media.
The results of the study indicate the predominance of the aesthetic function of a modern
holiday over a world-modeling one and prove the hypothesis that when a holiday is transferred
to another culture, it moves from a religious or mythological picture of the world
to a naive one and loses its ritualism and sacred meaning. The results of the data analysis
show that the cultural — humanitarian holiday, as a variant of the secular holiday concept,
is distinguished by the predominance of the individual aspect over the social, the
absence of a ritual component and connection with the narrative at the base of the event;
the absence of a system of statuses, the presence of a system of roles; the absence of the
process of creating a different space; these holidays are not a means of ethno-cultural
identification. The obtained lists of dominant lexemes of cultural-humanitarian holidays
are useful in selecting cultural material for creating textbooks on the Russian language
for foreign students. The material of the analysis was the articles of the newspaper subcorpus
of the Russian National Corpus. Refs 19.

title: TEXTS ABOUT THE SCIENTIST: THE CONTENT OF THE COMMENTARY IN THE ASPECT OF RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

dc.contributor.author

value: Gurova, Elena A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The effectiveness of foreign languages teaching (and Russian as a foreign language) is
determined, in particular, by the quality of the commentary accompanying the texts used in the educational process. In teaching foreign languages lexical and grammatical commentary
is usually used to remove language difficulties, as well as cultural comments
on some words and expressions explain to foreign students the specific phenomena of
Russian culture. However, difficulties in understanding the text when studying Russian
as a foreign language indicate the need to expand both the objects of comment and the
content of the comment itself. The solution of this applied problem directly depends on
linguistic knowledge that reveals the categories and units of the text, the peculiarities of
its semantic composition, the specific speech organization caused by a particular type
of text. Texts about scientists are relevant in teaching a foreign language. They showed
the relevance of three varieties: 1) texts implementing the semantic model “A person
and his actions” (tell about the activities of a scientist); 2) texts implementing the model
“A Person and his qualitative characteristics” (express an assessment of the personality
of a scientist, convey an opinion about a scientist); 3) texts combining the first two types.
This third type usually placed in a more general, abstract context of reasoning (related to
a particular problem of scientific activity of a scientist). Commentary as a possible tool for
interpreting texts of these types indicates the necessary objects of training commenting,
revealing their content in accordance with the text-characteristics of a particular type of
text. Comments allow you to introduce lexical and syntactic material that ensures the
implementation of author’s intentions, to reveal the information structure of the text, implications,
logical and semantic connections of the components of the text structure. As a
material for analysis and its interpretation are used: 1) educational text Dmitry Ivanovich
Mendeleev, 2) text fragments from the book by M. Buras Linguists who came from the cold
(2022), 3) essay by E. Vodolazkin The Truth about Schliemann (2015). Refs 13.

title: BIBLICAL PRECEDENT UNITS AS INTERTEXTUAL ELEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY MEDIA DISCOURSE

dc.contributor.author

value: Rubtsova, Svetlana Y.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Modern media discourse is featured by a certain freedom of choice of linguistic means to
express the author’s intention or to draw attention to the event covered. Globalisation of the information space initiates dynamic processes of image perception and reinterpretation
of universal concepts under the conditions of intercultural communication. The
article deals with the analysis of biblical precedent units as intertextual inclusions for linguistic
expressiveness with a profound pragmatic component in the language of modern
media and the Internet. The research is devoted to investigation ofbiblicism functioning
specifics in media discourse which is considered a driving force of modern language. Correlations
of global bible concepts in different linguistic communities are also considered.
For contextual interpretation of biblical precedent units in modern media discourse the
following methods were implemented: descriptive-comparative method, the method of
continuous sampling, the method of contextual analysis, the method of interpretation. It
was found that the rich internal form of the biblical concept increases the pragmatic potential
of intertextual context, performing the following functions: expressiveness, philosophical
reconsideration, symbolism, provocation, initiation of semantic association,
and text quintessence. On the example of illustrative material, taken from a corpus of
media — Russian, British, American periodicals and the information space of the Internet,
it is shown that the main biblical meanings and concepts are universal in terms of associative
chains, formed in the consciousness of the recipient. On this basis, the conclusion
is made that some correlations exist between different forms of presentation of religious
doctrine and their modern interpretation, which found expression in a certain connection
of some concepts and evaluations. Refs 15.

title: DISTRIBUTION OF THE FRENCH COORDINATION DONC IN DIACHRONY

dc.contributor.author

value: Auseichyk, Yulia V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The work is devoted to the development of the distributive properties of the
French polyfunctional item donc ‘therefore, so’ in a broad diachronic perspective,
from the 11th century to the present. As a result of accessing the data of
the National Corpus of the French language Frantext and the French corpus of
the Google books Ngram Viewer system, the trajectory of the development of
donc as a coordinator is determined. It is concluded that the long-term variability
of the donc written forms, which differ in distributive properties in texts
of different genres, leads to multidirectional trends in its use as a coordinator.
As a result of comparing the contexts in which donc shows its conjunctive
properties and establishes the logical-semantic relations of the consequence,
the following is established. The share of donc usage as a coordination unit of
two independent sentences in the initial position has been significantly reduced
over more than a thousand years of the French language development.
This way of donc use is not predominant. The use of donc in the postposition
to the personal form of the verb to establish a connection, with the exception
of the imperative mood, tends to gradually increase. The donc use in cooccurrence
with other coordinating conjunctions (et donc, ou donc, mais donc,
etc.) is a special case of it’s functioning. The results obtained complement the
previous scientific knowledge about the functioning and syntactic mobility of
donc and are necessary for comparison with information of this kind about
other linking words.

title: SOMATIC METAPHORS OF NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV’S SECRET SPEECH IN TRANSLATION

dc.contributor.author

value: Carter, Elena V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
It is generally recognized that a linguocultural analysis makes it possible to
identify equivalents in the phraseology of different languages, to indicate
what is common and unique for the languages analyzed and to reveal various
kinds of translation difficulties, in particular, the rendition of phraseological
units with somatic components. As the previous research shows, this
issue has not been well-examined in relation to the political discourse yet.
Thereby, the present study makes a contribution to the field of phraseology
as well as to the area of translation. The article is devoted to the comparative
analysis of the Russian phraseologisms with the somatic elements which were
employed by N. S. Khrushchev in his report “On the Cult of Personality and
Its Consequences” at the closed session of the 20th Communist Congress on
February 25, 1956, and the ways of their translation into English. The paper
describes the connotations that arise, while interpreting the paremia images
in the space of historical and cultural knowledge, identifies cultural layers in
the semantics of the idioms, allowing to highlight the commonalities or differences
of the meanings that are characteristic for the languages in question. The
contrastive analysis of Russian and English somatic metaphors reveals similarities
in the processes and ways of phrase formation of a number of idioms
which enable translators to use appropriate equivalents. Of particular interest
are the cases when there is a lexical substitution of the Russian somatism for
a different English phrase-lexeme which, in turn, creates certain challenges
when translating such idioms.

title: F. V. BULGARIN’S NOVEL “PYOTR IVANOVICH VYZHIGIN” COMMENTED BY FRENCH LITERARY CRITIC E.-J. HÉREAU

dc.contributor.author

value: Goncharova, Tatiana N.

dc.description.abstract

value:
F. V. Bulgarin’s novel “Pyotr Ivanovich Vyzhigin” (1831), which takes place
against the background of the Patriotic War of 1812, can be considered a
forerunner of “War and Peace” by L. N. Tolstoy. It drew first a rather negative
criticism. The French edition, published almost immediately after the Russian
one, in 1832, included lengthy comments by journalist and literary critic
E.-J. Héreau, which have not yet attracted the attention of researchers. It is
the purpose of this paper to examine them. Far from the quarrels of the Russian
literary scene, Héreau was relatively free from prejudices and passions.
On the other hand, his being French could in some cases distort his perception
of recent events affecting both France and Russia. Héreau’s comments,
many of which contain references to specific historical works and sources, are
examined using biographical, historical-cultural, historical-genetic and comparative
methods. As the French critic addressed mainly the French public,
ignorant of the realities of Russian life, he gave them all sorts of information:
basic notions about Russia; judgments about the moral character of Russians;
criticism of Bulgarin’s interpretation of some episodes of Napoleon’s Russian
campaign. Héreau appears to share in many respects the skepticism of Russian
critics. Like them, he seems to regret the fact that the two storylines of the
novel, historical and fictional, only occasionally intersect. However, Héreau
was more concerned with questions of plausibility. In general, he paid more
attention to the historical storyline, criticizing Bulgarin for using Ph. de Ségur
as his main source of information.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the review of comparative characteristics of the categorization
of one of the fragments of reality in the Old Russian and Old Slavonic
languages, based on a cognitive approach, which allowed us to identify
the unique and universal in the perception of the element of material culture.
Ornament, its linguistic representation, functions, role in the process of historical
and cultural evolution has undergone certain changes. Therefore, the
study of categorization of jewelry in the world pictures of the two peoples
provides an opportunity to expand and deepen the knowledge of human cognitive
activity. The analysis of the material proves the close approaches of the
ancient Eastern Slavs and Anglo-Saxons to jewelry, based on the syncretism of
pagan and Christian values. On the basis of the definitional analysis, the main
features of the meanings of the words nominating jewelry have been identified,
which allows us to identify isomorphic and allomorphic characteristics
of the names in the two languages and to state as universal their economic,
social and cultural significance in the world pictures of the East Slavic and
Anglo-Saxon peoples. The unique features of the perception of ornaments in
the meanings of the names of ornaments by the ancient Russians and Anglo-
Saxons have been revealed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper examines modus meanings reflecting interaction between the persuasiveness
and partitivity categories. The aim of this work is to identify and
substantiate the types of interaction between the two categories under study.
Modus meanings are studied using the following research methods: comparative
analysis, pragmatic method, distributive analysis, component analysis,
content analysis, definitional analysis, discourse analysis. Indicators of the
studied persuasiveness and partitivity modus categories perform different
functions in the text: a) the pragmatic function (foregrounding the persuasion
semantics, “calling for unification”); b) the function of text formation
(explication of formal and semantic coherence and integrity of the text/text
fragment; the modus key function); c) the compositional function (influencing
the compositional pattern of the text/text fragment, providing different
types of composition). Despite both studied modus categories possessing a
wide array of means of expression at the lexical, grammatical, and syntactic
levels, partitivity, being a separate category, is one of the ways for manifesting
the category of persuasiveness in political discourse.

title: THE ONOMASTIC VOCABULARY AS THE CULTURAL LACUNARITY MARKER

dc.contributor.author

value: Glukhova, Olga V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Onomastic vocabulary, as a linguistic research object, has for a long time been
on the periphery and received insufficient researchers’ attention. The anthropocentric
approach to the surrounding reality phenomena investigation enables
this section of the vocabulary to be studied from the language and culture
relationship point of view. Onomastic vocabulary in this case appears to be
a translator of cultural information, a carrier of people national-specific features
and ethnic identity. The linguocultural study of onomastic vocabulary
as a cultural lacunarity marker seems to be relevant and widens research opportunities
for proper names translating and contrasting studies. Thus, the
onomastic vocabulary is subjectively studied via culturally-specific semantic
features. The paper aims at investigating the onomastic vocabulary as a cultural
lacunarity marker. Research objectives are to consider the concept of
onomastic vocabulary and of cultural lacunarity; to analyze the onomastic vocabulary
cultural specifics; to investigate the culture specific onomastic vocabulary
in «The Master and Margarita» by M. Bulgakov. The paper exploits the
contrasting analysis method to identify and characterize the onymyc lacunae
on the material of «The Master and Margarita» by M. Bulgakov translated into
English. The culture-specific information of a proper name can be extracted
by means of complete linguo-cognitive analysis of a whole concept constituents’
inventory that is a profound study of notion, value, image, association
and interpretational aspect in terms of comprehension and translation. This
type of analysis appears to be crucial for onomastic vocabulary translating in
fiction. The onomastic vocabulary by Bulgakov refers to the semantic motivation
type and appear to be «undeciphered» (by translators) lacunas in the
novel’s translations. The study proves the idea of onomastic vocabulary being
a cultural lacunarity marker.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Game is an important cultural phenomenon, whose impact on social life and
personal development cannot be overestimated. The topic of the game is the
basis for the plot and problem formation in many fiction works. The article
aims to identify and analyse the structure of the concept-sphere “game” in
texts by American writers who reflected this phenomenon in their works. The
research tasks are to reveal the micro-contexts referring to the game and to
describe the nucleus, the co-nuclear area, the near periphery and the further
periphery of the concept-sphere. This article is the first to examine the cognitive-
propositional structure of the concept-sphere “game” in the texts under
analysis. As a result the analysis of each constituent of the concept-sphere is
conducted. The nucleus is presented by the cognitive-propositional structure,
including the subject, the predicate, the reason, the purpose, the result, the
consequence and the locative of the game. The co-nuclear zone is formed by
lexical representations, revealing the contents of the above-mentioned components.
The near periphery includes artistic images of the game. The further
periphery reflects social and cultural aspects of the game and the personal attitude
of the characters to this phenomenon. The research combines linguistic
and literary approaches. The basic method is conceptual analysis, a combination
of various techniques used to analyse concepts. The descriptive method
and the method of contextual analysis are also applied. The latter enables to
investigate the concept-sphere “game” on all levels of the text structure as well
as to consider the message of the analysed works.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study offers the analysis of pragmatic function actualization through
‘umbrella’ elements of transdisciplinary intermediary terminological systems
of cognitive linguistics and discourse studies. The purpose of the study
is the analysis of specific cogniogenerative features of pragmatics as regards
the elements in question in borderline types of discourse. The study employs
complex methodology incorporating hermeneutic, discourse, definition
and component analyses. Dialectical correlation of mental structures
formed along with detailing and differentiation of knowledge components,
and their further representation in the verbal information flow is carried out
not only on the basis of the initial generally accepted deobjectification (in
nuclear components), but also involves consituational formants of a specific
area of the information-knowledge continuum. Such a permanent flow of
illocutions for objectification and perlocutions for deobjectification of actualized
components of transterminological meaning forms a special area
of cognigenerative pragmatics, which provides a constant reflexive transformation
of invariant structures into potentially conventionalized signs of
individual terminology. Within the framework of its intellectual argumentative
impact, cognitive-generative nature of transterm pragmatics contributes
to the explication and intensification of the key methodological principles
of a concept or theory. It also enhances modification of the conceptual
and conceptual space of the recipient areas, the change in the mechanisms
for integrating the modes of consideration of the studied phenomena of
one discipline or direction to another and the growth of transdisciplinarity
degree. The study deals with the delimitation of transdisciplinary areas of
information-knowledge continuum, fosters dissymmetric features of subject-
object-subject pragmaticon space of borderline areas, and proves the
primary character of cogniogenerative basis when realizing the pragmatic
function of transterms and quasi-terms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The object of this study is the linguistic representation of the traditional female
family roles of the Han and Anglo-Saxon peoples through proverbs. It is
based on the theory of “linguistic stereotypes” and explains the characteristics
of Chinese and English proverbs as a linguistic stereotype in terms of language
form and content semantics. We aim to analyse the traditional family types
of Han and Anglo-Saxon peoples before the 20th century, identify the types
of female family roles and the corresponding female family role stereotypes
in Chinese and English proverbs, and reveal the ethnic and cultural basis for
the formation of female family role stereotypes. We identify 10 types of female
family roles in Chinese and English proverbs in the context of which
we analyse the types of Han and Anglo-Saxon family structures in the period
between the 16th and 20th centuries. We summarise the stereotypes of female
family roles in Chinese and English proverbs and the reasons for their formation.
Finally, we analyse the ten types of female family role stereotypes at the
level of the content of stereotypes and explore the cultural reasons for the
formation of female family role stereotypes in proverbs based on the linguistic
stereotype theory in linguistic culture. The female family role stereotypes
summarised in this paper are all linguistic responses to the Sino-British ethnic
community’s perception of women. On the whole, Chinese and Anglo-Saxon
women are subordinate in the family, and their status, words, actions and
thoughts are influenced by the different living environments and humanistic
customs of the two nations, resulting in different ways of thinking, which is
reflected in the language through the proverbs that exist in the contemporary
Chinese and English languages.

Most researchers find themselves in a very competitive surrounding and are
supposed to be published continuously in prestigious peer-reviewed journals.
However, the norms adopted by the local academic communities may differ
from the norms adopted by the international academic communities. Differences
have various causes and often include metadiscoursal textual features.
The vast majority of the research in metadiscourse basically follow the model
proposed by K. Hyland in 2005. To analyze the distribution of metadiscourse
markers, four corpora were created: two corpora representing medical cardiology
texts written in English by L2 Russian researchers (abstract and discussion
section corpora) and two corpora representing English medical texts
written by L1 English researchers. The results suggest that interactive metadiscourse
markers for sequencing, announcing goals and indicating the nature of
a given statement (evidentials) are more frequent in both L1 English abstracts
and discussion sections than in their L2 English counterparts. The findings of
this study have important pedagogical implications, especially for classes in
English for Specific Purposes, English for Academic Purposes, and English for
Research Publication Purposes.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The most pressing issue of modern terminology is the issue of its phraseologization
and ambiguity. The work is aimed at finding out the availability and
types of meaning transfer of the components in business English idioms with
the Adjective as the first component of a phraseological unit and identifying
their ability to variations. The object of the study is business English phraseological
terms containing an initial adjectival component in their structure.
The subject of the study is the type of meaning transfer in the component
composition of phraseological units and the ability of phraseological units to
variations within the frames of PU-term identity. In the study and analysis
of business phraseology of a selected structural area, both macro-paradigmatic
methods of linguistic research and non-paradigmatic methods and
techniques of linguistics were used. Of particular importance for our study
were the proposed by A. V. Kunin method and procedures of phraseological
identification, methods of phraseological analysis and description. The
following methods also served as a reliable scientific basis for the study of
business terminology in the designated phraseological space: the method of
structural analysis, the method of component analysis, the method of onedimensional
modelling of phraseology. In the research some other methods
were employed: methods for analysing the definitions of monolingual and
explanatory dictionaries and methods of quantitative analysis. As a result
of the research, two sub-types of meaning transfer in PU-term components
were found out and to name them, correspondingly, two terms were introduced
into meta-language of phraseology.

The study of the specifics of the manifestation of national and cultural codes
in the literatures of the peoples of Russia, in particular, in the work of modern
Tatar poets, is of great scientific and practical interest for researchers.
The article presents the result of a systematic and complex analysis of the
work of modern Tatar poets Renat Haris (1941) and Ravil Fayzullin (1943)
in the aspect of revealing the originality of the artistic embodiment of national
cultural codes. The object of the research is the poems of Renat Haris
and Ravil Fayzullin. The subject of the research is the artistic embodiment of
national and cultural codes in the works of Renat Haris and Ravil Fayzullin
through the analysis of symbolic images, universals, allusions and genres,
features of color and light images. The leading research method is a systematic
approach, which allows applying historical-functional, historicalgenetic,
comparative-typological and historical-functional methods to the
study of the work of modern Tatar poets. The article is dominated by an
interdisciplinary approach that makes it possible to adequately determine
the current state of Tatar literature and literary criticism in the context of
the cultures of the peoples of Russia, near and far abroad. The Tatar national
picture of the world also includes musical images such as kurai, accordion,
etc., in relation to Tatar poetry and music, the concept of “mon” is often
used, which is difficult to translate into other languages, in this regard, an
analysis of the works of Renat Haris and Ravil Fayzullin allows us to reveal
the problem of “untranslatable” in Tatar literature. The work of the studied
poets reflects the Tatar national picture of the world, reveals its main components:
the image of the motherland and native land, concern for the fate
of the Tatar language, literature and culture in the era of globalization. Poets
dedicate their poems to the description of national holidays (Sabantuy), traditional
symbols of the Tatar people (images of a white leopard (ak leopard),
horse, white towel, etc.), spiritual and moral values and the history of the
Tatar people are described in their poems.

title: “STRONG” LITERATURE TEXT: CULTURAL PRESERVATION AND CULTURAL DYNAMICS

dc.contributor.author

value: Razumovskaya, Veronica A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article addresses the nature and peculiarities of relations between a
“strong” literary text and its secondary versions, which appeared as a result
of transcoding the verbal original text by means of various semiotic systems.
The relations under consideration are presented in the intercultural and intermedia
spaces and are analyzed from the standpoint of the categories of original
inexhaustibility and translational multiplicity. The following hypothesis is
proposed: the original and all its secondary texts form the center of translation
attraction — multilingual, multimodal and multi-authored hypertext, which
contributes to an increase in the translatability of the original text, ensures its
steady popularity and prolongates its “life”. The famous novel by L. N. Tolstoy
“Anna Karenina” and its foreign-language and intersemiotic versions served
as analysis material. Special attention is paid to the novel screen adaptations.
Following J. Bluestone’s thesis on the necessity to abandon the axiological aspect
of the relationship between the text of literature and its film adaptation,
the work defends the idea that each secondary text provides dynamics, preservation,
as well as intercultural and intermedia interaction of literature and
cinema phenomena as significant cultural objects.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper presented aims at linguistic and stylistic analysis of the direct
speech of fictious characters along with the examination of some pragmalinguistic
features of the communicative situation as such. Language-based
approach can be viewed as an ‘enquiry going from the text to the characters’,
while pragmatic analysis unfolds in the opposite direction, ‘from the pragmatic
intentions to the literary text’. Such a ‘dualistic’ approach can bring to light
the correlation between communicative situations portrayed in novels and
specific stylistic/textual characteristics of the dialogue. Besides that, it helps
to unveil the author’s idea and message of a book. Therefore, the primary aim
of the paper is to reveal the interrelation between the pragmatic parameters
of a communication situation and stylistic/textual features of a dialogue. The
methods used are pragmalinguistic analysis of communicative situations, linguistic
analysis of the characters’ speech with the elements of stylistic analysis.
The application of the bi-directional approach is demonstrated on the material
of dialogues from John Steinbeck’s books.

value:
For language teaching, the exchange of experience both at the regional and
international levels is a prerequisite for the development of this professional
and academic field. The concept of a native speaker is one of the key concepts
of linguodidactic discourse. The preferred foreign language teaching strategy
by the professional community depends on what meanings and values
are contained in this concept. The term ‘native speaker’ is considered formed,
established and unproblematic for intercultural communication, although the
definitional analysis of Russian and English dictionary entries has revealed
that there is a difference in the understanding of these terms. The article discusses
the English and Russian concepts behind the term and describes the
modern structure, content and features of the functioning of these concepts
in discourse in a comparative aspect. The analysis shows that the English-language
and Russian-language concepts have more differences than similarities,
which is reflected in the role of a native speaker in teaching foreign languages.

value:
Changing realities of modern life, the emergence of new professions, concepts
steadily leads to the search for appropriate nominations. As a rule, for these
purposes, the language borrows a new word or updates a long-known one. It
is natural to assume that the actualization of an already existing lexeme will
introduce a number of changes both at the level of semantics of an already
established concept and at the syntagmatic features of lexemes, which may
be due to the requirements for the nomination of modern realities, as well as
axiological components included in these “requirements”. This article presents
the results of a psycholinguistic experiment aimed at identifying the modern
perception of the lexemes master, mistress, as well as their activation within
a given context. In order to determine the modern seminal composition, the
authors compare the semes presented in the key explanatory dictionaries of
the Russian language with the semes identified during the experiment. Based
on the results obtained, the authors come to the conclusion that the change in
modern realities, the popularization of feminitives lead to a certain transformation
of the seminal structure of lexemes.

The paper explores major principles underpinning verse libre by Walt Whitman,
the focus on which is expected to improve the quality of translation
and assess the extent of accuracy achieved by some famous Russian translators
belonging to different epochs unequally distanced from the times of
Walt Whitman. The research rests on comparative literary studies as one of
its pillars and examines the translations from Walt Whitman by Konstantin
Balmont, Korney Chukovsky, Andrey Sergeev, and Vladimir Britanishsky.
The study aims to show if the translators managed to preserve Whitman’s
parallelism (“the rhythm of thought”), including envelope composition,
phonetic reiterations, as well as catalogues and imagery. The analysis undertaken
herein proves that it is so far hardly possible to talk about the translation
of “Leaves of Grass” that would take account of all the principles underpinning
Whitman’s free verse.

Object of the study is focused on the identification of the socio-cultural archetypes
as a fundamental component of the image policy of the Rostov region on
the texts of excursions. Research methods provide a synergetic approach and include
hypothetical-deductive method, the comparative method, the descriptive
method, the method of translation analysis, the method of contextual analysis, as
well as the case method, the method of “brainstorming”. In our study, the evolution
of interdisciplinary research allowed us to verify specific directions of studying
the concept of “branding” of the region: firstly, from a tourist perspective,
secondly, taking into consideration the convergent context of cultural genotype
phenomena and archetypes, and thirdly, basing on the fundamental paradigm
of knowledge of anthropocentric linguistics. In the course of the analysis, two
groups of students studying Chinese and Arabic focused on the intensification
of certain research trajectories on the basis of historical texts about the Rostov
region. In the course of the study, we identified five main research trajectories
including historical, geographical, geopolitical, industrial and modernist images
which are characterized by using specific socio-cultural archetypes. The task of
the guide-interpreter was to prepare the texts of the excursions, taking into account
the contiguous identity and proximity of the socio-cultural archetypes of
nations, so that the text would thereby reveal for the recipient (tourist) a high index
of cultural and genetic involvement, a natural coefficient of accessibility and
acceptance of the brand book text. The final product of the study was the writing
of a brandbook for the Rostov region, aimed at Chinese and Arab tourists.

value:
The paper is devoted to the issue of the local structure modeling of the eSports
commentary spoken genre on an example of the Dota 2 computer discipline.
ESports commentary is a spontaneous and creative speech aimed at describing
of what is happening on the computer-gaming field. The main factors that
force us to study it are the high popularity, the influencing nature of speech,
as well as the lack of scientific attention. A theoretical and methodological
framework of the study contains the elements of the structural and cognitivediscursive
approaches in linguistics. The key research methods are language
modeling, analysis of the local discourse structure in the cognitive perspective
and quantitative analysis with regard to the corpus-based approach. The
statistics were calculated for the sample with the total volume of 41 minutes
and 30 seconds. The speeches belong to 14 Russian eSports commentators;
they were delivered in 2017–2019. As a result, we have obtained a set of relevant
patterns that represent characteristics of typical elementary discursive
units (syntagmas) in the Dota 2 eSports commentary. These include a quick
pronouncing, boundary pauses absence, frequent nuclear accent presence and
embodiment of nouns and verbs. One part of the statistics represents general
features of the Russian spoken discourse and human consciousness (e. g. the
frequent use of absolute pauses); the other part correlate with a specificity of
the situation in which the commentary is produced (e. g. the frequent use of
short structures).

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article deals with the description of the specifics of representing the semantic
field of visual perception by English, German, French and Russian
verb lexemes. The emphasis is on “basic” lexemes, those ones that denote
the ability to perceive information visually without having the intentionality
component in their semantic structure. These verb lexemes are “see,” “sehen,”
“voir,” and “видеть.” Their semantic structure consists of two components:
“visual perception” and “ability.” In German, a third component, “intentionality,”
can also be activated, although, it changes the lexeme’s status, because it
is the absence of the “intentionality” component that distinguishes the “basic”
verbal predicates of visual perception from a large group of other lexemes in
which this component is mandatory. In verbs like “look,” “regarder,” “watch”
and others it occupies one of the central places in the seme structure of the
word. This ability to have such a component can be presented implicitly or
explicitly, depending on various factors, including the linguistic tradition.

title: JAPANESE VERB “NARU”: KEY TO UNDERSTANDING OF JAPANESE MENTALITY

dc.contributor.author

value: Latysheva, Svetlana I.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The connection between language and culture, specifically how the grammatical
and lexical constructions of a language manifest the peculiarities of a nation’s
culture, has long been researched. In Japan, one such grammatical construction
of interest is the verb “naru”. There is a commonly held thesis that
the use of this word strongly reflects the Japanese worldview and value system.
Hence, considering how it is translated by speakers of other languages can be
one way in which to consider the different perspectives they may hold. For the
most part, Japanese researchers believe that there are two important camps of
thought, either translating “naru” with a word close in meaning to the Russian
“stanovitsya ; stati” (to become) or with a verb similar to the Russian “delati ;
sdelati” (to do). In this paper, the author analyzes 28 variants of the use of the
verb “naru” in Japanese and variants of its translation into Russian. The study
concludes that only in 6 out of 28 cases, the translation of this verb using the
Russian verb “stanovitsya–statj (to become)” is adequate. In response to these
findings, the author hypothesizes that the frequent use of the verb “naru” in
the Japanese context is meant to emphasize the importance placed on how
the state of a person or the surrounding world has changed. In contrast, when
placed into the Russian context, emphasis is given to action and the actor performing
it. By attempting to explain these linguistic differences, we are able
to make grounded assumptions about the perspectives and values held by the
speakers of these two languages.

Motivational features that determine the choice of the main semantic component

in multicomponent characters of various semantic types (nominations
of clothing, transport, furniture, weapons, containers, etc.) made it possible to
reveal their frequency regarding of different thematic relevance. The material
of the study based on the group of compound characters (structurally including
from two graphemes in a sign, one of which is a determinative), denoting
object names selected according to the principles of classification of lexical
units, undertaken when compiling the semantic dictionary ed. N. Yu. Shvedova,
dissertation research by M. I. Oleinik, as well as the described classes
of object nouns (物品类名词) in the study of Zhang Daoxin, Zhang Jiahua.
The total volume of the analyzed characters with object semantics amounted
to 967 units. The analysis of the selected signs showed that the choice of
the determinative of the complex Chinese character with object semantics is
based on the relevance of the material as the most significant historically or
functionally characteristic of the described representation of objects that are
spatially limited, can be identified and counted. The evolution and development
of the basic graphemes of Chinese writing determine, at the same time,
the relevance of such motivational features as category, form and object, as
well as their different frequency within different semantic groups of complex

The article studies semiotic mechanisms of organizing Internet memes on coronavirus
(COVID-19) as polycode texts reflecting the socio-cultural phenomenon
significant for an indefinite period. It also examines relevant evaluative
meanings of COVID-19 arising through the interaction of image and text in
polycode units. Systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis serves as
the research methodology and provides the framework for linguistic, cognitive
and pragmatic aspects of the study. In line with the approach, a comprehensive
interpretation of a communication act incorporating text analysis along with
situational and cultural reflection, the inductive method and its main research
procedures (observation, analysis and comparison) are applied to specify the
COVID-19 discourse in Internet memes. The analysis of the system-functional
peculiarities of coronavirus-related Internet memes has specified textual means
of designing a communicative intention in polycode units, semiotic elements
of pragmatic impact, as well as a multimodal perspective of interpreting the
COVID-19 discourse through the interaction of verbal and visual references.
The results show that COVID-19 memes convey condition-, interaction- and
event-oriented evaluative meanings. The study revealed that the semiotic tools
of different origin and precedence degree enable verbal-visual interaction to
convey the sense of kinship and shared experience. Along with the disturbing
meanings of apprehension and danger, the Internet memes noticeably express
social unity and confidence in overcoming the challenges. The meanings are
reinforced by the images of significant cultural value in the Russian community.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Precedent units with mythological allusions as special textual elements with
wide pragmatic potential are considered in the article from the point of view
of their functioning in modern British media discourse, the most wide-scale
version of modern text representation. Precedent units of different origin are
actively used in modern language because the “eternal” concepts they embody,
symbolize, and actualise the recipient’s background knowledge, which
is essential for media discourse. The study describes and illustrates the main
functions of precedent units in media language — nominative, expressivedecorative,
persuasive, password (password-identifying), ludic (game, or the
function of language game creation), euphemistic, affecting. The material for
the study was a variety of sources, including UK periodicals. The illustrative
material demonstrates the pragmatic features of the functioning of precedent
units, their semantic derivation, and the increase of meanings in the process
of linguistic perceptualisation. It is proved that the use of precedent units is
extremely productive in the implementation of the author’s intentions in media
discourse. It is concluded that the pragmatics of the precedent units is
addressed to the paradigm of cognitive, discursive and communicative characteristics,
which allows to perceive the text as a unified system. The prospect
of further research can extend to a comparative analysis of precedent units
with mythological allusions in different languages in the context of mass media
in order to identify the cognitive and pragmatic universal components, as
well as to describe the algorithm of linguistic influence on the potential audience
through the subjectification of internal content and individual author’s
interpretation of the main cultural and social references recorded in world
literature.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to the study of lexical means to create expressiveness
in the language of advertising on the internet. Researchers express an abiding
interest in this topic. However, the emphasis is mainly placed either on certain
means of advertising, or on a specific part of speech. The purpose of this study
is to consider the ways in which different parts of speech (i.e., nouns, verbs,
adjectives, numerals, pronoun and adverbs) are used in internet advertising
slogans. The paper takes on the following tasks: addressing the vast empirical
data in the area of research and applying it as a basis for our study; determining
the functions of different parts of speech in a sentence; identifying how
frequently they are used; and establishing the degree of their expressiveness in
advertising, which is considered to be of paramount importance when attracting
the attention of potential buyers. The material for the present study was
selected from Spanish- and English-language websites covering the period
from 2012 to 2021. The research methods include comparison, synthesis and
analysis of data, as well as comprehensive semantic analysis. General tendencies
in the use of specific parts of speech are supported by concrete examples,
which totalled several hundred. The results of the study allow us to conclude
that different parts of speech are applied to create a vivid and memorable advertisement
and fulfil not only a semantic, but also a stylistic and expressive
function. Apart from this, with a view to creating greater expressiveness, the
considered means are combined with visual images, which enhances their impact
on the consumer of advertising.

value: Obolenskiy, Alexey A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article focuses on the role of translation analysis and its use in the learning
of poetry translation in the education of translators. A future translator
needs not only to learn how to translate a text correctly from one language to
another, but also to understand the whole process of implementing the task.
This is a necessary factor because translating poetry is one of the most difficult
types of translation. The aim of our study is to identify and establish the
role of translation analysis in the translation of poetic works, and to elaborate
methodological guidelines for its use in classes to teach poetry translation.
The author considers the problems of translation of poetic works and provides
a theoretical basis for translation analysis. As a consequence, the article highlights
the positions of different Russian academics on the concept of “translation
analysis” and provides a gradual analysis of the phases of the process.
From these findings, it was concluded that translation analysis is important
and necessary for translating any kind of poetic text, and a suggested list of
recommendations for working with a foreign text step by step using translation
analysis was drawn up.

The article focuses on the peculiarities of understanding and translating pragmatemes
in the situation of educational bilingualism. We conducted a questionnaire
[Pragmatemes] among 37 1–4 year students of the Bachelor Programme
Philology: English Language and Literature, Translation Studies in order to find
out students’ knowledge of English pragmatemes. The results of the analysis of
the questionnaire show that in most cases students, when translating a pragmateme,
choose a false literal counterpart; they lack knowledge about synonymous
pragmatemes and their communicative register. In addition, comprehension
and usage of pragmatemes becomes more complicated if they reflect
national or cultural specifics. The results of the research indicate that students
find it difficult to choose an adequate translation of pragmatemes and recognize
their semantic, stylistic and semantic-stylistic features. Students become hostages
of both purely linguistic and linguistic-cultural interference. Therefore, it
is necessary to pay more attention to the study of pragmatemes in the situation
of educational bilingualism.

dc.description.abstract

The paper continues the research on the problems both educators and students
experience while transferring between modes of instruction: traditional offline,
online, mixed and hybrid formats. The factors are external and internal. The
external factors, namely, pandemic period lockdown and later the geopolitical
conflict involving more than two parties make it impossible for many overseas
students to participate in face-to-face classes. Psychological adaptation and university’s
capacity to provide for a successful learning process in different formats
are the internal factors. Research questions cover the following aspects: 1) students’
expectations of different formats and problems they faced; 2) problems the
educators faced; 3) research done previously; 4) solutions suggested; 5) feasibility
of the proposed solutions. The findings based on thorough literature review, two
surveys, and an expert interview1 show that adaptive educational systems, despite
being promising, are not likely to be implemented widely in the observable
future. We argue that an anthropocentric approach to educational technologies
and adaptive systems are not the solutions to the problems per se. These systems
are a powerful instrument to provide for inclusive, comfortable and effective personalised
education. The revised principles and key features of the new curricula
for social sciences and humanities alongside implementation of adaptive systems
can be the best solution in transition between modes of education.

title: LINGUISTIC AND PRAGMATIC POTENTIAL OF ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENTAL INTERNET MEMES

dc.contributor.author

value: Pavlova, Elena B.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study deals with English-language Internet memes which communicate
environmental issues. The material for the study was taken from Reddit, which
is used to share topical memes on the Internet. The study analyses the linguistic
and pragmatic potential of English-language environmental Internet
memes and describes their visual pattern and verbal component. It is shown
that after reframing, the visual template of viral Internet memes becomes a
means of attracting attention to environmental issues. While keeping the same
visual template, new lines, captions, and headings referring to environmental
issues can be added to the verbal template; in some cases, environmental Internet
memes are created specifically to explain the negative consequences of
human economic activity or to evaluate environmental stunts. The author determines
the set of relevant strategies and tactics based on the lingvopragmatic
model, characterizes the verbal and non-verbal means ensuring their implementation.
It is found that dominant strategies are the strategies of drawing
attention to environmental issues, informing; argumentation; intimidation;
creating a comical effect; development of a stereotype of environmental behaviour,
which are implemented by tactics of focusing attention, reducing the
situation to an absurdity, and negative prediction. Considering the identified
communicative strategies, the typology of environmental Internet memes
is proposed, and five main linguopragmatic types are identified: informing,
persuasive, intimidating, humorous, ironic-sceptical. The relevant linguistic
means to implement communicative tactics in English-language environmental
Internet memes are colloquial vocabulary, idioms, professional vocabulary
(environmental terms), synonyms, antonyms, metaphors, imperatives, present
participle, colloquial syntactic constructions, expressive syntactic means:
antithesis, question-answer constructions, anaphora, epiphora, and ellipsis.

title: CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE REAL AND POSSIBLE WORLDS IN F. M. DOSTOEVSKY’S NOVEL “THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV”

dc.contributor.author

value: Pogrebnyak, Yulia V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article describes the ways of conceptualizing the real world and possible
worlds in F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov”. Analysis of the
use of the keyword of the concept “world” shows F. M. Dostoevsky uses such
expressions as the other world, God’s world, the New World, the World of
Satan. In F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov” several worlds
are represented — the real world, full of suffering, evil, injustice; God’s world,
full of love, harmony and brotherhood, the world of Satan, where evil forces
dominate; the other world, where a person falls after death, as well as a new
world, in which empiricism and science rule and in which moral issues do not
matter, and everything is built on practicality; as well as the world of dreams.
In F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov” God’s world is opposed
to the real world. Only through the union of the real world and the world of
God can universal happiness and unity be achieved. F. M. Dostoevsky warns
his readers that the construction of a “new world” is coming where darkness
and sorrow will rule. This world rejects God and puts science at the forefront.
In this new world, every person will live by himself, without responsibility for
another, where lies will reign instead of truth. True unity of people is possible
only in the service to humanity.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Establishing basic laws of narrative formation and tracing certain trends in its
development is always an interesting and fruitful subject of study. The purpose
of this article is a detailed review of the main theoretical works related
to the emergence and development of the theory of postcolonial literature.
The problems related to the term “postcolonial” are highlighted, the vectors
of interaction of English-speaking postcolonial literature are considered. In
connection with the analysis of the political traditions of the functioning of
colonies, the main trends in the development of Western postcolonial theories
of literature are traced, in particular, the views and psychological theories
of Franz Fanon. Apart from “three-level” theory by Fenon, the concept
of nationalism and the views of the postcolonial literature theorist E. Said are
covered in detail. Said introduces the concept of “orientalism” and reveals the
mechanisms of false positioning of the hero — the original inhabitant of the
colony. The works of G. Spivak and her feminist works are also considered,
as well as the works of Homi Bhabha, who follows Lacan’s psycholinguistic
theory. The result of the study is the identification of those common patterns
that are formed in English-language post-colonial prose, including works by
J. Rhys, Zadie Smith and S. Rushdie. This sort of literature largely breaks the
rules of the English language tradition. A tendency is to develop a new kind of
narrative regarding historical novel.

title: CATHARSIS THERAPY IN THE 17th CENTURY ENGLISH DRAMA: A CASE STUDY OF R. BROME’S COMEDY “THE ANTIPODES”

dc.contributor.author

value: Zonina, Nina V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper regards catharsis therapeutic application as a theme of the 17th
century English drama: a case study of Brome’s play “The Antipodes” (1637–
1638), never being in focus of Russian literary criticism. Catharsis is a central
concept of drama especially in its scenic presentation. The resemblance of
personal experiences to those in a play can provoke strong cathartic emotions,
causing spectator’s purification and mental balance. The 20th century
psychology used this effect as a “psychodrama” method for treating patients
with mental disorders. Its essence is in transforming patients into actors of
a dramatic piece reminding them their traumas, the emotions resulted proceed
with cathartic cleansing of the painful symptoms. The paper discusses in
detail the first use of the “psychodrama” method in the 17th-century English
comedy “The Antipodes”. The play’s theme is the characters’ mental disorder
featured with despondency and insanity healed by doctor Huball’s method
of making the unsuspecting patients act in a performance (“inner play”) of
an artificially created “antipodean” world of disorder similar to their overturned
consciousness. The patients’ rejection of the “antipodean” world brings
in strong cathartic emotions causing the characters’ mental health. The play’s
analysis shows that the author exceeds the limits of the avant-garde catharsis
therapy theme. The play passes his concern about the disease of the English
society facing serious upheavals. It aims at bringing all his spectators in catharsis
in order to heal the English world’s disease and let common sense triumph
over the existing disorder and madness.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The research reveals the features of linguistic consciousness in the context of
ideas about the semioticization of the facts of reality by bilinguals. The article
emphasizes that under the influence of extralinguistic reality and the consciousness
of a native speaker, the noospheric continuum is formed, which is
characterized by interlingual mutual influences. The relationship between the
processes of linguistic and cultural adaptation of a bilingual and the violation
of the homogeneity of his linguistic consciousness is indicated. The phenomenon
of heterogeneity of bilingual linguistic consciousness is associated with
the formation of a metaconceptual and metalinguistic picture of the world. It
is concluded that the semiotic sphere of a bilingual is a result of convergence,
both conceptual and linguistic. The paper proposes the principles determining
the linguistic noosphere of the bilingual, with its particular property of
heterogeneity. The authors emphasize the complexity of bilingual language as
a dynamic system, which is synergetic and non-linear.

title: THE FUNCTIONING OF RELATIVE PRONOUNS QUI AND QUE IN FRENCH SENTENCES

value: Shumkov, Andrei A.

value: Fatullaeva, Anna O.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article describes the study of the main characteristics of relative pronouns
qui/que and considers the actualization of their functions in the French sentence.
The aim of this study is to analyze the peculiarities of qui/que pronouns
functioning both as independent units and as a part of the antecedent complexes
ce qui/ce que. The examples of interrogative constructions demonstrate
how pronouns qui and que actualize the difference in their informativeness,
which influences the degree of explicitness or inexplicitness of the subject in
simple and compound sentences. The authors conclude that the relative pronoun
qui, being the most informative, marks the presence of the inexplicit,
least informative subject; que, being the least informative, marks the presence
of the explicit, most informative subject. A comparison of the properties of
qui/que units within the framework of different sentence types establishes the
difference in their function. The use of qui/que in the declarative provides
the possibility to use both an animate and an inanimate antecedent, while
the actualization of the independent nominative function in the interrogative
sentence limits the use of qui to an animate antecedent, que — to an inanimate
one. This comparison proves that the opposition to the function relative
pronouns perform is considered to be the most important at the present stage
of the development of the French language and enables them to be either the
subject (qui) or the complement (que) within a sentence. The usage of qui/que
pronouns with some intensional verbs is also considered. It has been revealed
that the use of the pronoun qui provides more options for the characterization
of the subject due to the possibility of using both the indicative and subjunctive
moods while the use of que in this context entails changes in the sentence
structure and the type of the subordinate relation: the desired characteristics
can be expressed only by the usage of the subjunctive mood.

title: CLASSIFICATION OF METAPHORS ACCORDING TO THE LEVELS OF DECODING

value: Pesina, Svetlana A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
On the basis of the material under investigation we propose our version of
metaphors classification. The suggested classification is based on the traditional
one (genuine, trite and sustained metaphors). A four-level classification
of metaphors is presented within the scope of the article. Its main criterion is
the degree of difficulties in their comprehension. The metaphors are arranged
according to the principles of fluent and crystalized intelligence. A semantic
structure of a word is viewed as a multi-level configuration of meanings. It is
fixed by a dominant invariant meaning. The analysis of the English substantive
“a leg” is presented. We have developed a new approach to the phenomena
under consideration called the invariant-component method. As a result,
the obtained semantic metaphorical clusters have lead to the lexical invariant
definition. The latter is viewed as a set of basic dominant components that
form the semantic core of a polysemous word. The results of the study led to
the conclusion that lexical invariants make it possible to successfully decode
metaphors of the first basic level according to our classification.

towards languages that are not supported de jure or are not efficiently supported
de facto to maintain their functioning in various areas of communication. The
article discusses approaches to the definition of the concept of language activism,
analyzes the prerequisites for the emergence of the language activism in

in language and culture. In order to discriminate the cultural difference
in the content of the notions designated by the quasi-equivalent lexemes
in the two languages, the authors attempt to analyze one of the common characteristics
of Russian and Vietnamese “self-portraits”. The notion of hospitality
(гостеприимство/hiếu khách) was examined using corpus data. The SketchEngine
and two built-in web corpora, ruTenTen11 and VietnameseWaC, were utilized
for automatic construction of thesauri of this notion. It was shown that the
sets of semantic components that describe the studied lexical unit demonstrate
certain degree of incongruity and provide additional information about Russian
and Vietnamese “self-portraits” that include quasi-equivalent lexis.

title: REFLECTION OF THE NATIONAL MENTALITY IN THE CORE OF THE SAKHA AND RUSSIAN LINGUISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS

dc.contributor.author

value: Vasileva, Alina P.

dc.description.abstract

value:
At present, the study of the features of the linguistic consciousness of the
speakers of the Sakha and Russian languages, who are in such a long close
linguistic and cultural contact, is of particular interest. The paper attempts
to study the reflection of the national mentality in the core of the linguistic
consciousness of the Sakha and Russian language speakers. The core of the
linguistic consciousness of the Sakha people was first identified by the author
as a result of the analysis of materials from the Sakha associative dictionary
(L. S. Zamorshchikova and A. A. Romanenko, 2012), created on the basis of
mass associative experiments. The features of the perception of images of
world by the Sakha and Russian consciousness are considered in the review
of reactions and stimulus words — direct correspondences in the Sakha and
Russian core. As a result of identifying and comparing quasi-equivalent words
in the core of the linguistic consciousness, author presents the example of an
analysis of the associative field of stimulus words kihi — man using to the
method of “semantic gestalt” by Yu.N. Karaulov. Preliminary results suggest
the trends in the reflection in the core of the linguistic consciousness of Sakha
and Russian speakers of similar features that were created during a long time
of cohabitation of peoples under the influence of the historical past on culture
and language. However, the core of the linguistic consciousness of an individual
people reflects the specificity of the “ethno-mental space of the people”
created by the national mentality and spiritual culture, which can be traced in
the associative-verbal network.
