The state of fatigue caused by work (“professional burnout”) must be given legal significance.
The authors of the article are among the first in legal science to assess the links of “professional
burnout” with the categories of work capacity, disability, legal capacity, delictworthiness,
social and professional risks. The study solved the tasks of assessing the extent of the real
spread of “professional burnout”, its symptoms and their legally significant manifestations in
the activities of pedagogical and medical workers classified as high-risk groups of exposure to “professional burnout”, in order to formulate ideas on this basis about the place and role of assessment
of “professional burnout” in the system of relations regulated by labour and administrative
law, social security law. The data used as the basis of the study were collected in the
conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, during a period of drastic changes in organizational
and socio-psychological working conditions, exacerbation of stressful factors. To assess them,
the methods of questionnaires, legal analysis, comparative analysis with the progress and results
of medical research, generalization of statistical data were used. As a result, a unique
database was formed on the dynamics of the health of teaching staff, a detailed description of
the professional burnout of medical workers, symptoms that pose a threat of negative sociolegal
consequences were identified by the phases of the syndrome development, a comparative
characteristic of the socially significant symptoms of “professional burnout” was created and
based on it — the characteristic of legally significant features of the syndrome as a whole, as
a fact-a condition characterized by increasing dynamics, shows the connection between the
structure of violations detected as a result of control and supervisory measures committed
by medical workers in the provision of medical care with the development of “professional
burnout” in this environment, the means and legal mechanisms for preventing or minimizing
the risk of the formation of “professional burnout” are presented, the necessity and possibility
of conceptual changes in the system of assessing working conditions by groups of factors of
production by including a new group in them — socio-psychological factors with the attribution
to them of work regimes, the quality of labour rationing, the quality of communication,
for which the identified indicators of “professional burnout” will be one of the indicators of
well-being or trouble in the production environment.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is based on the materials of the monitoring of judicial practice. As part of the monitoring,
judicial acts of cassation instances in the field of implementation of legislation on the
labour of remote workers were analyzed. The problems that most often become the cause of disputes are identified. During the analysis of disputes on the recognition of an employment
contract concluded by the parties as a contract on remote work, it was found that the courts attach
decisive importance to the actual conditions of employment, rather than the formal consolidation
of the relevant conditions in the text of the contract. The problem of assessing the
legality of interaction between the parties to an employment contract is also significant, which
is determined by the specifics of such interaction, which in most cases involves the active use
of telecommunications, information systems, and appropriate technical means. The problem
of distinguishing the performance of remote work under an employment contract from the
performance of obligations under civil law contracts seems to be relevant. In such cases, there
is a contradictory practice based on different interpretations and assessments of factual circumstances.
The complexity of the problem in relation to remote work is further aggravated
by the fact that the very nature of remote work “blurs” some stable criteria for distinguishing
labour and civil contracts (employer authority, employer control, etc.). The authors come to
the conclusion that the existing problems of the practice of applying the norms on remote
work are mostly generated not by defects in the legislation itself, but are associated either with
individual shortcomings of a specific law enforcement process, or with general problems of
the theory of labour law. In this regard, it seems most appropriate to generalize law enforcement
practice on this issue and consolidate it at the level of a review of judicial practice or a
resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Starting in 2007, the Russian legislator radically changed his approaches to wage regulation,
and eight years later he began to reform the processes of training and advanced training of personnel. However, in the process of law-making, contradictions were revealed in the definitions
and content of individual innovations. The legal conflicts that have arisen have already
created or may create problems related to the reasonable application of various elements of
the national qualifications system in labour relations. For example, the establishment of requirements
for the qualification of an employee based on professional standards may lead to
unjustified intensification of labour, the introduction of unjustified work and rest regimes,
and a reduction in wages. The analysis of these processes is reflected in this article. In addition,
theoretical and practical problems of establishing and improving the professional skills
of employees and their remuneration have been resolved. Special attention is paid to the introduction
into practice of elements of the national qualifications system and wage systems. A
comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the stated problems makes it possible to identify
patterns of interaction between qualification and salary systems, to show their current state
and directions of subsequent development. A lot of authors’ ideas about amendments and
additions to the current legislation and law enforcement practice are given. The article uses
extensive regulatory material, including international legal documents, federal and regional
legislation, departmental legal sources, the results of the rule-making of social partners and
local regulations. The article analyzes the judicial and local practice of applying labour legislation
when using professional standards, skill levels, forms, systems and wages.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The transformation of methods and means of production under the influence of the development
of digital technologies has led to an increase in the interest of scientists in the problems
of radically changing labour processes. In the sociological and legal studies of the liberal direction,
the phenomenon of labour began to be studied separately in the context of the transition
from the labour practices of an industrial society to the labour practices of an information
(post-industrial) society. The main conclusions that were made as a result of studying the phenomenon
of labour in a liberal way were: recognition of the liberating nature of informationtype
labour and its priority over industrial-type labour; endowing information labour with a
characteristic of flexibility in comparison with the rigidity of labour in an industrial society.
From a legal point of view, these conclusions created the preconditions for the deregulation
(the elimination of protective norms and guarantees) of labour relations both for employees
of the “endangered” industrial type and for “progressive” information employees. Within the
framework of this publication, the author set a research task to cancel the four myths of the
information society, which are most popular in liberal theories: 1) mass release of employees
employed in industry, due to the computerization of production; 2) flexibility in the labour
market is an integral part of the transformation of the traditional model of labour relations;
3) outsourcing is inherent only in industrial type production; 4) the release of a new product
involves the release of employees due to the inability of the workforce to master modern
methods of work. As a result of the critical analysis of these myths of the liberal doctrine, the
author came to the conclusion that it is useless to establish distinctions in the very essence of the labour phenomenon. The author believes that the concept that allows convergence of all
types of labour in state production chains is the theory of “community of labour” proposed by
Karl Marx. For labour law, the presence of objective features of the implementation of labour
processes means the need to deepen research on the differentiation of the legal regulation of
labour of certain categories of employees, and not to deregulate labour relations.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The principle of respect for a person of labour and labour itself enshrined in the Constitution
of the Russian Federation should be attributed to the number of fundamental principles that
determine the nature and general direction of the legal regulation of relations in the sphere
of any labour including hired. The introduction of relevant provisions into the country’s Basic
Law means recognition at the constitutional level of the key role of a person of labour
in ensuring social development as well as classifying labour as a category of constitutional
values subject to legal protection. In the field of labour relations the principle of respect for a
person of labour and labour itself is not only a kind of “main idea” that reflects the essence of
the current labour legislation but also a “constitutional vector” for its further adjustment and
adjustment of law enforcement practice. The practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian
Federation in recent years in which there is still a steady tendency towards a single disqualification
of labour legislation norms with a predominance of the constitutional and legal
interpretation of the contested legal provisions allows us to conclude that this principle is a really
working legal instrument for the constitutionalization of labour legislation and increasing
the effectiveness of protecting the labour rights of citizens. The constitutional consolidation
of the principle of respect for labour and the person of labour should ensure the development
of labour legislation in the appropriate direction and form the appropriate practice of its application,
which, in turn, implies strict observance of this principle not only by the legislator
when adopting a new or amending the current legal regulation, but also by law enforcement,
and above all judicial, agencies.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The legislator established certain features of the emergence of state-service legal relations. For
the emergence of these relations, both the act of appointment to the position and the service contract are important. The article deals with the problems associated with the emergence of
an individual state-service legal relationship between the state (state body) as an employer and
a citizen or civil servant (employed) in the Russian Federation. A distinctive and main feature
of the emergence of public-service legal relations between the employer and the citizen (state
civil servant) is that the conclusion of a service contract is carried out with a person already
appointed to the appropriate position of the civil service on the basis of the issuance of the
relevant act of the representative of the employer. At the same time, there is no clear idea of
how the parties to a service contract should act when concluding it if there is no agreement
in principle between them on a number of conditions, given that the civil servant has already
been appointed by the employer to the appropriate civil service position and has begun to perform
his direct duties. The authors draw attention to the unsuccessful definition of a service
contract in Part 1 of Article 23 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 no. 79-FZ “On the State
Civil Service of the Russian Federation”, since the representative of the employer cannot be
an “employer”, and therefore, cannot be an independent subject of a service legal relationship.
The representative of the employer, only implements the functions of the employer, signs a
service contract on his behalf. The problems associated with the emergence of a public-service
legal relationship and the conclusion of a service contract, to date, remain largely unexplored.

The article is an analysis of the results of academic events held within the framework of the 6th
St Petersburg International Labour Forum, held on March 14–18, 2022.The attention of the
forum participants was focused on changes in the functioning of the labour market and new
forms of employment in the post-pandemic period. The new socio-economic reality brought
to life by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which are associated with the breakdown
of traditional economic and social ties in conditions of isolation and migration restrictions,
has significantly changed the sphere of work. This requires prompt decisions to restore
employment, to introduce new forms of employment, to analyze the impact of modern types
of work and the changed conditions of its implementation on labour relations and the quality
of life of the population. To implement the solutions found, it is necessary to change legislation
in various spheres of public life, change the ways of implementing management decisions
and, in general, changes in state policy on the labour market and in the field of employment.
Within the framework of the Forum, recommendations were developed on more than 50 sites
for public authorities, businesses, educational organizations, and the scientific community
on improving the functioning of the labour market and its adaptation to new post-pandemic
conditions, including on improving labour legislation and legislation regulating economic activity,
on improving law enforcement practice in this area, on accounting the impact of digitalization
on various areas of public life, including to protect against interference by foreign
companies in the digital sphere, under a reasonable restriction on the use of social networks
for commercial purposes. Special attention was paid to informal employment and measures to
control its expansion. Priority directions of scientific research in the field under consideration,
as well as measures to improve the quality of management activities are proposed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The global response to the phenomenon of platform work has various forms and approaches.
The general trend is that numerous court cases are succeeded by legislative initiatives. It is
obviously that platform workers no more cannot be considered as a pure entrepreneur or selfemployed
persons. Due to the control of “hidden algorithms” they fall under the power of the
gig company more than ordinary independent contractors. The case of Kazakhstan confirms
this approach and proceeds from the special regime of the platform labour within the scope
of employment regulation. However, we should seek a balance between social and economic
function of labour law. Traditional construction of employment relationship cannot be entirely
applied to the platform workers. Nevertheless, it is crucial to ensure decent labour conditions
for them. The solution of the problem is enforcement of presumption of employment
based on flexible regulatory policy to this form of employment. For example, Kazakhstan’s
response to the platform work challenges is based on distinction between location-based and
web-based platform work depending on the degree of employer’s power. The hidden algorithmic
control of location-based platforms is a core element in a set of proofs recognizing employment
relationship between gig companies and their workers. At the same time web-based
platforms present more autonomy of their workers who can serve as independent contractors
or freelancers. The author concludes that the international community shall elaborate wellbalanced
approach to regulation of employment relationship based on digital platforms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of this article is to study the possible impact of metaverses on the parties of labour
relations in the future. Metaverses are permanent virtual spaces where users can relax, work
and receive services. The development of digital technologies, primarily VR/AR technologies,
contributes to the creation of metaverses. The activities of global IT giants such as Facebook*
and Microsoft make us think about how the increase in human presence in virtual reality will
affect the world of work. Legal regulation will need to be adapted accordingly if the relationship
between employers and workers changes. To understand the problem, it is necessary to find out
how the metaverse will differ from modern digital platforms, how large will be the proportion
of workers who will take virtual jobs in the metaverses in relation to the total number of
workers. The results of the study allow us to conclude that with the further digitalization of the
world economy, it is very likely that metaverses will become a familiar working environment
for most workers in the near future. In this regard, the presence of artificial intelligence in the
world of work will increase, since the 3D digital environment is a space in which there are
even more opportunities for artificial intelligence systems than in physical reality. Employers
will use artificial intelligence to algorithmize management processes, which will increase the
economic efficiency of activities. Working in the metaverse will become part of the digital
society, and having the skills to quickly adapt to such work is one of the conditions important
for survival in the world of the future.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers a set of problems related to the possibility of an institutional approach to
the study of the development and functioning of labour law. An analysis of the features of institutionalism
in economics, its main characteristics and differences from both neo-institutionalism
and new institutionalism is given. The main features of this phenomenon are presented. Particular
attention is paid to the “old” institutionalism and especially its legal direction, associated with
the activities of the American scientist J. R. Commons. At the same time, the role of scientists of
this direction in the development of problems of labour law, as well as in the formation of American
labour and social security legislation in the first third of the 20th century, is emphasized. The
author comes to the conclusion that lawyers, including the first scientists in the field of labour
law, also used the institutional approach in their research. It is concluded that the institutional approach allows us to take a fresh look at the traditional problems of science and the branch of
labour law, given that they are closely related to the economic processes taking place in society.
It is argued that it is the institutional approach that makes it possible to reach the signs of an employment
relationship, but from a slightly different angle. In this regard, it is not by chance that
among the ideologists and authors of the first bills related to the regulation of labour relations in
the United States in the thirties of the 20th century, supporters of institutionalism prevailed. The
author connects the emerging doctrine of social partnership and the doctrine of “human relations”
by F. Mayo precisely with institutional approaches to economics and law. All this makes
it possible to include the institutional approach in the methodological tools of modern research
into the problems of labour law.

value:
The study is devoted to the substantiation and formulation of proposals for the implementation
in Russian labour law of a promising way of protecting individual labour rights — invalidity
of the employment contract and the recognition of an employment contract as inactive
in court, as well as their ratio. Based on the analysis of the labour legislation of the Russian
Federation and other states of the EAEU, an analysis is made of the current state of the normative
legal regulation of the issues of the invalidity of an employment contract. It is proposed to
fix in the Russian labour legislation the concept, specific grounds for the nullity of an employment
contract and its consequences. When considering the provisions of civil legislation on
the consequences of the invalidity of disputed transactions, as well as special literature, the
author expressed the opinion that the method of protection provided for in paragraph 3 of
Article 167 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation should be considered precisely as a
mechanism for the transformation (termination for the future) of the legal relationship that
arose from the voidable transaction. It is concluded that the partial extrapolation of this model
to the labour law reality will allow to form an original way of protection for the employee and
the employer, eliminating the grounds for discussion about the subsidiary application of civil
law norms on the conclusion and execution of an employment contract. The main results of
the study are the formation of a number of proposals aimed at improving the effectiveness
of primarily Russian labour legislation. In particular, a distinction is proposed between the
grounds and consequences of the nullity of an employment contract and the recognition of an
employment contract as inactive. It is stated that the rights and responsibilities of the parties
to the employment relationship, formed before the recognition of the employment contract as
inactive, should be considered properly executed. It is also proposed to some of innovations in
the Labour Code of the Russian Federation, including a fine (penalty) in favor of a minor employee
in cases of violation by the employer of the prohibitions on concluding an employment
contract as a preventive measure and one of the consequences of recognizing it as inactive.

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of views on judicial law-making at the level
of interpretation of legal facts in the course of a labour dispute. The author considers the
prerequisites for the formation of these ideas, reveals their content, notes the debatable aspects
of their essence, shows the theoretical and practical significance of the methodology
of judicial law-making. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the actual recognition of the law-making monopoly of the court is accompanied in the institutional theory of law by
attempts to substantiate its realism and rational limitation, focusing on the importance of the
court decision as the responsibility of the individual choice of the law enforcement officer, a
tool to fill gaps, situational approach and a special stage of law and order. Theoretical conclusions
are supported by examples from the practice of courts in whose decisions it is possible to
trace the use of a balanced model. It is shown how, due to the effectiveness of interpretation,
including contra legem, judicial practice has an impact on the movement of the entire legal
system, on the entire process of implementing labour legislation during the movement of a
dispute. The author proceeds from the fact that judicial practice should be considered in two
aspects — as an element of the legal system and as an activity for the administration of justice.
In these manifestations, judicial practice is included in the mechanism of legal assignment,
establishing a connection between a legal fact and legal consequences. However, with all the
importance of judicial practice, its legal significance still remains not fully investigated, in
particular, the concept and meaning of legal provisions developed by the court and formalized
in judicial acts are not defined.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Social partnership in the sphere of labour is one of the most important principles underlying
the modern mechanism of legal regulation of social and labour relations. The significance of
this principle lies in the fact that thanks to its implementation in practice, social peace in the
sphere of social work is ensured and, accordingly, social stability in society as a whole. The
current Russian labour legislation not only formulates social partnership as a principle of legal
regulation of social labour, but also defines the main forms (directions) of implementation of
this principle. Currently, the direction of social partnership is most thoroughly regulated in
legislation and tested in practice, which can be conditionally defined as representative, when
representatives of the main social groups in the field of labour — employees and employers,
as well as the state, as the personification of general social interests, enter into a dialogue on
issues of public importance and conclude this dialogue with an appropriate agreement. Another
area of social partnership, which is usually defined as the participation of employees in
the affairs of the employer, is rather poorly regulated in legislation, is very little widespread in
practice and is practically ignored in domestic legal science. Meanwhile, as world experience
shows, the system of employee participation in the affairs of the employer is a very effective
means of ensuring the solution of both social and economic problems. The article analyzes the
main aspects of participation. It is based on the employee’s right to participate as a subjective
labour right. Its implementation is provided mainly by means of two branches of law — labour
and civil (corporate). Accordingly, there are two forms of participation, although related to
each other, but having an independent character — economic and organizational. The first
is implemented through various options for the participation of employees in the profits and
property of the employer, the second — through the participation of employees in management,
including self-management of labour collectives of various levels in the structure of the
employer’s enterprise.

The purpose of this study is to analyze judicial practice on the application of the principle of

harassment, abuse, and pressure on the part of the employer, this principle is the key
to building the position of the plaintiffs. Unlike other principles, ensuring the right of workers
to protect their dignity is limited to only two sentences of the article, and has no further disclosure
neither in labour legislation, nor in the clarifications of higher judicial instances. This
paper examines the trends in law enforcement practice and its possible problems by analyzing
the practice of Russian courts for the period from 2012 to 2021. This analysis has highlighted
a number of enforcement problems: the courts do not distinguish between the principle of
respect for the dignity of an employee and the principle of prohibition of discrimination in
the sphere of work; there is a formal court approach to considering allegations of psychological
harassment and pressure in the workplace; courts apply general rules on the distribution
of the burden of proof in cases of psychological harassment. Since there are no decisions in
judicial practice in which the plaintiffs’ claims would be satisfied on the basis of violation of
the principle of respect for the dignity of the employee, it is necessary to include in the labour
legislation of the Russian Federation a mechanism for protecting the dignity of employees,
obliging the employer to provide a psychologically healthy working environment, as well as
redistribute the burden of proof when considering cases of this category.

dc.description.abstract

value:
After Turkey’s political system was transformed into a multi-party democracy, legally interpreted
collective labour rights were introduced to the system by legal instruments. The first Trade
Unions Act was enacted in 1947. In accordance with the articles related to collective labour
rights, stated in the 1961 Constitution, the Turkish National Assembly adopted two particular
pieces of legislation numbered 274 and 275 in 1963. These acts governed labour unions and collective
bargaining, as well as grievance procedures such as strikes and lock-outs. The 1982 Turkish
Constitution enshrined collective bargaining and striking as fundamental rights as it had
been established by the prior Constitution. For nearly three decades, collective labour rights
have been regulated by two different legal acts, numbered 2821 and 2822. In 2012, new legislation
to regulate collective labour relations and meet the requirements of the social parties was
proposed. The Law of Trade Unions and Collective Labour Agreements (Law no. 6356) is the
current principal legislative tool for dealing with trade unions and collective labour agreements,
as well as strikes and lock-outs. In the Turkish system, the formation of trade unions and employers’
associations is based on a voluntary and free basis and requires no previous approval
from administrative bodies. Employers’ organizations and trade unions both have legal personalities.
A double threshold approach for trade unions to conduct collective bargaining has been
criticized by the ILO on several occasions. Strikes are infrequently utilized as industrial action,
despite the fact that they are protected by the Constitution and Law No. 6356.

The author considers the theoretical foundations of the interaction of personnel and state policies
in terms of digitalization of the world of work. This goal is achieved by solving the following
tasks: studying the concepts of “personnel policy” and “state policy”; studying of their stages of
implementation; highlighting and researching certain aspects of the interaction of personnel
and state policies in the digital age; formulation and substantiation of political and legal proposals.
The research methodology is based on systemic and political-legal approaches. The main
results of the study are as follows. The systemic-structural and substantive aspects of the interaction
of personnel and state policies in the digital age are highlighted and analyzed. The systemic
and structural aspect is manifested in the following: personnel policy is a part of the public
administration system; the structure of any sectoral state policy always includes a personnel
block. From the point of view of the substantive aspect through the implementation of personnel
policy, political decisions made by the state are implemented, and employers as subjects of
personnel policy using social partnership mechanisms or independently during monitoring of
the implementation of state policy can express their opinion regarding identified defects in the
implementation of state policy. A feature of this interaction is that not only employers, but also
employees, as objects of personnel policy, can also influence the development of state policy in
terms of the digitalization of the world of work, for example, through the mechanisms of social
partnership. The stages of implementation of personnel and state policies are described, within
which they interact with each other. The study also formulated and substantiated political and
legal solutions to the problems of machine-readable labour law, replacement of human labour
with digital technologies, training and additional professional education of employees.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Protection from social risks, which one of the main ways is to compensate for their negative
consequences in the social security system, is impossible without the law regulation. Various
legal means are formed into an integral mechanism for social security legal regulation. The
article analyzes the interaction and interdependence of the mechanism of social security legal
regulation and social risk. The study is based on the theory of the legal regulation mechanism
proposed by S. S. Alekseev. The article shows how the various stages of the legal regulation
mechanism correlate with the dynamics of social risk. At the first stage, which consists in the
formation of legislation on social security, the model of social risk and its compensation are
fixed in the law. On the basis of legal acts, in combination with specific life circumstances, the
second stage of the mechanism of social security legal regulation begins — the acting of legal
norms that determines the emergence or change of legal relations for the establishment of
social benefits. At the moment, the individual’s awareness of social risk and the application for
social security acquire significance. The third stage of the mechanism of social security legal
regulation is the implementation of rights and obligations, when legal regulation achieves its
goals. This makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of the legal regulation mechanism. The
appeal to the theory of the legal regulation mechanism, its correlation with the concept of
social risk can help increase the efficiency of the realization of rights to social security. This is
all the more relevant because life gives rise to new dangers that may require their acceptance
as social risks and guaranteed protection from their negative consequences.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The freedom of labour, as a principle which guarantees the right of the citizens to choose their
occupation and profession, is fundamental for establishing legal regulation of social relationship
in the relevant area. The legislator is obliged to ensure genuine and effective realization
of this freedom for citizens, based on equality and prevention of discrimination. At the same
time, the freedom of labour is not absolute, since in some spheres it comes across rights and
legitimate interests of other individuals as well as public interests, and it inevitably leads to
rivalry between rights and freedoms of various parties as well as values protected by the constitution.
The mechanism for legal regulation of the relationship emerging while realizing the
freedom of labour, which constitutes a combination, inter alia, of law-making and law enforcement,
is intended to ensure that rights and legitimate interests of all the participants in
this relationship are taken into account. The guidance for efficient accommodation of rights and legitimate interests of parties (private as well as public ones) in the sphere of labour is
given by the Constitution of the Russian Federation which envisages a possibility for restricting
constitutional rights and freedoms in general as well as criteria for such restrictions. The
federal lawmaker is to strive for such accommodation, and the mechanism of constitutional
justice is intended to promote this approach. Therefore, legal regulation of the relationship in
this area should respect the balance between constitutional values, rights and legitimate interests,
private as well as public ones, and it should be acknowledged as a separate constitutional
value which is intended to be a criterion for constitutionality of restrictions on the freedom
of labour.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In Russia, labour disputes are increasingly arising over the fundamental admissibility of employees
observing the norms of the religion they profess, ethical teachings and the possibilities
for obliging employers not to interfere with their observance by creating appropriate conditions
for the use of labour. Law enforcement practice, in the absence of clear guidelines in the
legislation, “disguises” such disagreements as disputes about dismissal for violation of labour
laws, ignoring their true discriminatory nature. The article analyzes in detail one of the sections
of the designated problem of reconciliation of labour and religion — the observance by
religious workers of the requirements for the appearance and rules of business etiquette at the
employer. Considering the problem, the author starts from the three main religious needs of
the employee, which he seeks to satisfy in a controversial situation of contradiction between
the employer’s requirements and religious norms. Drawing extensively on materials from foreign
practice and analyzing Russian legislation, the author comes to the following conclusions.
The ability of an employee to satisfy a need such as the wearing of religious clothing, symbols,
or other external manifestation of religious commitment will depend on what regulation is
established by the employer in this regard. It also gives an assessment of the so-called policy
of religious neutrality, established at the local level. As for the need for an employee to verbally
express his religiosity and views, the employer has the right to prohibit such actions if
they cause inconvenience to other employees or customers, threaten to lose customers, the
image of the employer, and also to prevent proselytism in the team of employees. Finally, an
employee for religious reasons may express a desire to refrain from participating in the employer’s
corporate events: coercion by the employer to the contrary clearly constitutes indirect
discrimination.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The institution of transactions, having gone through a long path of evolution and filling with
meanings, has acquired in modern law the quality of a universal means of regulating social
relations. The universality and practicality of transactions as a legal means has tangible manifestations
in any branch of law, forming, to one degree or another, the distinctive characteristics
of the method and mechanism of legal regulation. The essence and place of transactions
(and contracts as their varieties) continues to be the subject of discussion, the importance of
transactions as legal facts in many industries is underestimated and needs additional scientific
analysis. In this article, the authors raise the question of the nature and place of transactions in
the system of legal facts, as well as sources of law in labour law and social security law. Using
the example of the branches of labour law and social security law, the authors prove that transactions
are among the universal general legal means that do not have an exclusively civil law
binding. At the same time, the legal regulation of this tool varies from industry to industry. In
labour law, the understanding of a transaction as one of the legal means contributes to the formation
and development of an employment relationship not as a confrontational relationship,
but as a relationship of cooperation, a consensual relationship. Due to the lack of legal equality
between the subjects of social security law, their rights and obligations cannot be fully determined
by the contract. However, the tendency to expand contractual regulation demonstrates
the significant impact of private law on many social security relations (state social assistance,
social services, non-state social security).

dc.description.abstract

value:
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a well-known standard setting organization
in the world of work. With its standards the ILO has created an epistemic community for labour
law and social security law. Central to this paper though is the question whether the ILO
is also an epistemic authority or even an epistemic power. To assess this, the main activities of
the ILO are described in this paper. These include, besides setting standards and the regular
and special supervisory mechanism, also the ILO’s technical cooperation activities, training
activities and services, research, debates, and exchanges of information. These activities are
described against the background of the idea of discursive diffusion, which could be typified
as governance technique to influence the policies or behaviour of the members of an epistemic
community. From this an image emerges from the ILO as an international organization which
can definitely be qualified as an epistemic authority, and even holds some traces of epistemic
power. However, most of the activities that could make up for the ILO’s epistemic power are
executed in the ILO’s field offices. Unfortunately, hardly anything is known about how the ILO
field offices operate and therefore to what extend and how they make use of the tools that provide
them with epistemic power. To understand this, further research is needed, preferably in
the context of new governance and with the application of empirical legal research methods.

value:
During the third global reform of the Labour Code of the Republic of Belarus, which took
place in 2019–2020, Article 42 of the Labour Code was set out in a new edition. In the updated
Article 42 of the Labour Code of the Republic of Belarus, five grounds for dismissal at
the initiative of the employer for a single gross violation of labour duties were combined into
one paragraph 7. In 2021, this paragraph was supplemented with three new grounds. In this
paper, for the first time, an attempt is made to comprehensively analyze all eight grounds for
dismissal on the initiative of the employer for a single gross violation of labour duties, enshrined
in paragraph 7 of Article 42 of the Labour Code of the Republic of Belarus. Within the
framework of the scientific and practical analysis of eight disciplinary grounds for dismissal of
an employee carried out in the article, the provisions of the Labour Code of the Russian Federation,
as well as current Belarusian judicial practice, are taken into account in a comparative
aspect. Special attention in the paper is paid by the authors to the procedure for termination
of an employment contract for this group of disciplinary grounds, problems that arise in
personnel and other law enforcement practice, as well as guarantees that employees can use
when dismissed on these grounds. Proposals are made to improve the labour legislation of
the Republic of Belarus and law enforcement practice in relation to this group of grounds for
dismissal of employees at the initiative of the employer, which would exclude the possibility of
an expansive interpretation of a number of provisions of the law, thereby eliminating possible
abuse of the right by the employer and guaranteeing a higher degree of protection of workers’
rights.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Based on the paradigm approach by T. Kuhn, the author analyzes the evolution of the labour
law paradigm. The necessity of identifying the factors influencing the formation of the paradigm
and its development is shown. Two factors influencing the paradigm process are singled
out. The timeless factor is socially significant needs, which process of satisfaction requires
legal regulation. The temporal factor is the type of society and economy, which determines
the production of goods, characterized by transformations of employment of wage labour, a
change in the role of an individual in the production process, and the impact on the volumes
and methods of satisfying needs. These factors are coherent, are in constant relationship. The
article highlights the stages of evolution of the labour law paradigm. The first stage is preparadigm.
In Russia, it lasts from the moment of the emergence of a free labour force and the
foundations of its legal regulation until the separation of labour law. This is the period of initial
accumulation of scientific knowledge about labour law, which ended with the appearance of
the book by L. S. Tal on the employment contract, which formed the basis of the labour law
paradigm. The next stage is “normal science”, when all scientific research is based on achievements
already recognized by the scientists — on the doctrine of the employment contract
and the employment relationship. Currently the paradigm is in crisis. The approaches formed
earlier do not correspond to the time, since the paradigm was formed within the framework
of the industrial type of society and economy, and now there is a transition to the information
type. It is concluded that labour law is on the verge of a scientific revolution, which should
lead to a paradigm shift.

The author examines the adherence of Pakistani legislation with ILO standards regarding
freedom of association. Current Industrial Relations regulation has undergone several positive
changes on a provincial level, including granting rights to form trade unions and collectively
bargain, expanding union rights to female workers in the agricultural sector in
Sadh and Punjab, creating the Industrial Relations Bill in Balochistan, expanding the right
to freedom of association and collective bargaining to workers in Special Economic Zones,
etc. However, despite the indisputable progress, Industrial Relations regulation is subject to
criticism. For instance, it still does not resolve the inability of an employee to be a member
of several trade unions if he/she works part-time although Pakistani law allows workers to
work at multiple workplaces under certain conditions on a case-by-case basis. Since the
legislation of Pakistan does not recognize and regulate part-time work, those few that are allowed
to be doubly employed are not subject to the fundamental rights of a full-time worker
including the right to freedom of association. Besides that, Industrial Relations regulation
considers the concept of go-slow an unfair labour practice although ILO has justified it in
multiple conventions. The author finds the aforementioned criticism valid. However, regarding
the empowerment of the Registrar to inspect the accounts and records of a registered
trade union, the author considers the criticism unwarranted. In the conclusion the
author mentions the necessity of the creation of regulation on the enterprise level similar to
that which exists on the provincial one.

From 2009 to 2020 researchers from St Petersburg State University and the Institute of
Linguistic Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences have been working on a project
to create a dictionary of German-language texts by Mikhail Lomonosov. The basic
principle of the dictionary implies the complete coverage of lexicon, regardless of the
status and frequency of individual words. One of the major tasks of the dictionary is
to demonstrate the personality of Lomonosov as a thinker and creator, who was fluent
in several languages, using linguistic material. M. V. Lomonosov’s German dictionary is a
bilingual dictionary that provides a lexicographic description of words belonging to texts
of different genres (letters, business documents, scientific and educational texts). The
structure of dictionary entries includes extensive historical, sociolinguistic, biographical
comments. The material of Lomonosov’s German-language texts made it possible to
reveal a number of linguistic facts that characterize the nuances of the functioning of
individual words within his idiolect, including nouns in the role of addresses, proper names
(anthroponyms, toponyms, ideonyms), verbs, functional words and abbreviations. These
facts include the frequency of certain lexical units, their collocability, use in a figurative
context, sociocultural coloring, etc. The results of the project allow us to expand our
understanding of the multifaceted personality of Lomonosov and at the same time place
his German texts in the context of the German language of the 18th century. Refs 16.

title: THE REFERENTIAL POTENTIAL OF NOUN GROUPS FORMED BY THE BULGARIAN INDEFINITE PRONOUNS AND THE PROPER NAME

dc.contributor.author

value: Lazareva, Viktoria A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article explores the referential potential of noun groups formed by the Bulgarian
indefinite pronouns някой/някакъв (си) and the proper name. The study is based on authentic linguistic data from Bulgarian National Corpus and partly from other internet-
sources. The linguistic data classified according to E. V. Paducheva’s classification of
reference classes of noun groups. The referential approach allows all possible uses of
noun groups to be described. There are only isolated observations on combinations of
indefinite pronouns with proper names, which can be supplemented and reinterpreted
according to specific research tasks. We are interested in the ability of indefinite pronouns
to combine with different components of the meaning of the proper names. We
show that: 1) the compatibility of a proper name with indicators of indeterminacy is not
a rare or isolated case, but a systemic functioning; 2) the referential variation of the noun
groups някой/някакъв (си) + proper name is due to the complex interaction between the
semantics of indefinite pronouns and the proper name, which involves the denotative
and significative components of the name’s semantics; 3) the proper names in combination
with някой/някакъв (си) cover a wide spectrum of variability, revealing a predisposition
to both referential and non-referential, as well as to predicate uses. In combination
with indeterminatives, a proper name can realise its main functions as a linguistic sign:
a) to act as a ‘code’ for an object; b) to identify an object; c) to characterise an object. We
discuss ways of solving homonymy of different types of referential uses. Refs 22.

The Slovenian-Bosnian poet, writer, essayist, literary critic, translator and editor Josip
Osti (1945–2021) was born in Sarajevo, lived and worked in Slovenia since 1990. Being
a recognized poet in his homeland, writing in Croatian, one of the largest translators of
Slovenian literature into Serbo-Croatian, since 1997 he has been writing in Slovenian. The transcultural aspects of Josip Osti’s literary works, both poetry collections and novels, are
a unique phenomenon. In our study, we turned to the novels of Josip Osti, namely his
trilogy — Ghosts of the House of Heinrich Böll (2016), In Front of the Mirror (2016) and Life
is a Creepy Fairy Tale (2019). All three works have a strong (auto)biographical component
and form a special novel form, which the author calls the “kaleidoscope-mosaic” novel.
The latter has a fragmented structure and consists of short stories, life stories, anecdotes,
urban legends, essayistic notes, literary-critical digressions, lyrical passages, diary
entries, etc. In Osti’s novels, we also find a connection with the tradition of short prose
in Bosnian-Herzegovina literature, in particular, with the works of the 1990s by such authors
as M. Jergović, D. Karahasan, N. Veličković, K. Zaimović and others. Their texts are
characterized by a destabilized genre form, a mosaic narrative, personal and documentary
evidence, and a palimpsest narrative model. The kaleidoscopic structure of Osti’s
prose texts helps him to reflect the transcultural view characteristic of his intimate and
artistic world, to embrace the complex overlap of heterogeneous elements. The novels
are written in Slovene, but they are mainly devoted to the space of Sarajevo, the unique
multicultural atmosphere of this city, as well as the tragedy unfolding in it; thus, the writer
complements the so-called “Sarajevo text”, but already in the field of Slovenian literature,
artistically comprehending the interconnectedness of Bosnia and Slovenia. Refs 19.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article we discuss cognitive metaphors related to the conceptual field of language,
as represented in V. V. Kolesov’s heritage, particularly in his theory of concepts. Initial
data were collected from Kolesov’s scholarly researches and nonfiction books published
in the last 20 years (2001–2021). In arranging the data we considered such factors as
the character of metaphorical expressions, as well as the internal connection between
the source and goal areas. Our article is probably the first to tackle the structure of
V. V. Kolesov’s cognitive metaphors impicitly underlying the basic terms of conceptology,
such as “concept”, “conceptum”, “idea” (Russian kontsept, kontseptum, contseptsiya respectively).
The background agaist which these metaphors are demonstrated, is formed by
the scholar’s metaphoric ideas of various language phenomena. We also determine the
peculiarities of the metaphoric way of defining terms, as well as its place among other
definition types. Sometimes metaphorical expressions are used as terms (cf. “conceptum”
vs “the grain of primordial sense”), but more often is the situation when they are
included into the structure of definitions. Whenever “conceptum” is described using the
method of semantic constants, metaphors are primarily concentrated in such parts as
“base” and “conditions”. The number of metaphors grow if a notion is relatively new and
if the metatext underlying the constant is of metaphoric nature. We can attest multiple
metaphors pertaining to linguistic and cognitive phenomena, which differ as to their
topics, structure and implementation range. Metaphorical models are used to describe
both objects related to language as a whole, and those related to its elements, segmental
and suprasegmental units, basic language concepts, language rules and processes. Our
corpus of metaphorical models includes vital, anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, phytomorphic,
physical, objective and other metaphors. We can single out the most common of
them, namely “language as a human being”, “language as a plant”, “language as an object”
and “language as material”. It can be claimed without doubt that metaphorical expressions
are inseparable part of V. V. Kolesov’s scholarly style. Refs 11.

title: EXPRESSION OF MODAL MEANINGS IN CONSTRUCTIONS OF POSITIONAL-LEXICAL REPETITION IN THE NOVEL TEXT BY D. GLOUKHOVSKY

dc.contributor.author

value: Kazakov, Vladimir P.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article features special aspects of the expression of modal meanings in the constructions
of positional-lexical repetition based on the novel Text by D. Gloukhovsky. The ways of expressing the modal meanings of possibility, necessity, reliability, desirability, affirmation/
negation are being analyzed with the help of the method of linguistic observation
and description. The method of unselected sampling has revealed cases of positional-lexical
repetition in neighboring sentences with markers of modal meanings. It has been established
that the ways of expressing these meanings in the novel ’Text’ are those that are
considered basic for the grammatical system of the Russian language as a whole: modal
verbs (moch’, khotet’), words of the category of state with a modal meaning (mozhno, nuzhno)
in combination with an infinitive, modal words (mozhet), words da and net. The peculiarity
of repetition constructions in the novel Text demonstrates that modal meanings in
them appear, as a rule, with a minus sign: uncertainty, unwillingness, unrealistic desire,
impossibility, denial. An important factor influencing the formation of modal meanings in
the constructions of positional-lexical repetition is the context which makes it possible to
identify implicit increments of meaning, also including the reflection of the emotions experienced
by the character. The correct interpretation of modal meanings, even in such
relatively closed space as the construction of positional-lexical repetition, is impossible
without referring to the textual modality, which is shows itself in the characterization of
the character. The analyzed cases of repetition refer to the experienced speech of the
main character of the novel and illustrate his search for answers to the emerging questions,
the choice of the right decision in a stressful situation, his state of excitement or a
feeling of regret. Fears and worries, hopes and doubts determine the general sentiment
of the text of the novel, and all these reveal themselves in modal meanings, explicitly and
implicitly presented in the constructions of positional-lexical repetition. Refs 9.

title: ON COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LINGUISTIC COMPLEXITY OF ALBANIAN AND SOUTH SLAVIC DIALECTS

value: Rusakov, Alexander Yu.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses approaches to the measurement and comparative study of linguistic
complexity of the Balkan dialects, genetically related to different languages. At this
stage Albanian and South Slavic dialects were considered. Based on dialect descriptions
and atlases, 948 South Slavic and 131 Albanian locations in the Balkan Peninsula were
surveyed. Significant differences between the tentative “common Albanian” and “common
Slavic” states, taken as reference points for measuring complexity, and differences
between dialectal phenomena relevant for modern Albanian and South Slavic varieties,
make the creation of a single list of features a non-trivial task. Thus the paper attempts a
comparative study of complexity using two lists compiled independently for Albanian and
for South Slavic and including 27 unmatching binary features each. All features reflect the
“grammatical” complexity of language system (inventory of phonemes and grammemes,
number of inflectional classes, etc.). Relative complexity or simplicity is seen as not only a
static characteristic of modern dialects, but also a result of simplifying and complexifying
innovations that developed in different historical periods, and preservation of the “inherited”
complexity from “common Albanian” and “common Slavic”. This approach allows
us to confirm the assumption that language contact can lead to both simplification and
complexification and to postulate different paths of contact development for Albanian
and South Slavic dialect zones. Contacts in the Albanian-speaking area are always associated
with simplification, while South Slavic demonstrates a trend towards simplification,
with the exception of Western Macedonian, where high complexity results from many
contact-induced complexifying innovations. Refs 10.

title: FORMALITY OF SPEECH IN COMMUNICATIVE BEHAVIOR (BASED ON THE FIRST BILINGUAL PHRASEBOOKS)

dc.contributor.author

value: Baeva, Galina A.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the article based on the first Low German-Russian phrasebook (Tönnies Fenne’s Low
German Manual of Spoken Russian. Pskov, 1607), recorded by the merchant from Lubeck
Tony Fenne for the implementation of elementary business and everyday communicative
interaction during the period of trade relations between Russia and the Hanseatic
League, the formulaic statements are considered, i. e. repetitive, standardized replicas
consisting of one or several words, selected and used by native speakers to a large
extent automatically based on their life and communicative experience, depending on the communication situation and on the basis of associative connections developed
by practice. The main attention in the article is focused on formulaic statements that
contribute to the establishment of contact and its maintenance. Contact-establishing
formulas include greeting formulas, also associated with wishes and thanks, dating
formulas and appeals. Among the formulas used to maintain a conversation, the article
highlights requests and wishes characteristic of everyday and business communication.
A special place among the contact-supporting formulas is occupied by metacommunicative
statements that direct the dialogue in the right direction from the speaker’s point of view.
Formulaic utterances with the lexeme God are defined in the article as multifunctional,
which can be used both in situations of establishing contact, and its maintenance and
termination and combine greetings, wishes of health, success, good luck, gratitude,
assurances of God’s help, etc. An important place in the phrasebook is given to paremia —
various maxims, proverbs and sayings that are also multifunctional and are used in
various communicative situations as generalizing instructive statements. Refs 24.

title: MODERN NORTH RUSSIAN FAIRY TALE TRADITION

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the study of the modern North Russian fairy tale tradition. My
colleagues and I have many years of field experience in the villages of the Mezen River
basin led to the need to find justification for other new forms of fixation and publication
of fairy tales. We understand by a fairy tale, first of all, a speech work that occupies a special
position in the situation of communication between the storyteller and his listeners,
which turn out to be, including folklorists. Interviews in which our villagers mention fairy
tales can be divided into two types: interviews-memories of how they themselves listened
to fairy tales (most often when they were children); interviews in which the interlocutors
explain how they themselves told/tell fairy tales to their children or grandchildren; finally,
interviews, which are accompanied by the performance of a fairy tale to us, folklorists. For a very long time, the first two types of interviews were not the focus of research interest.
Folklorists were interested in fairy tales addressed to themselves or told in their
presence. Refs 16.

title: THE TERM DIASYRTICUS IN SERVIUS’ COMMENTARY ON THE AENEID (SERV. IN AEN. 2, 80–193)

dc.contributor.author

value: Kazanskaya, Maria N.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines a fairly rare term of Greek origin, diasyrticus, that is used four times
in Servius’ commentary on Sinon’s speech in the second book of Vergil’s Aeneis (Serv. in
Aen. 2, 80–193). Although this term does sporadically appear in scholia to other Roman
poets, Servius’ use of it four times over a limited stretch of his commentary, as well as the
fact that he does not use either diasyrticus or the adverb diasyrtice in any other passage of
his commentary, is remarkable. The article seeks to determine the exact meaning of the
term diasyrticus, as well as to describe its usage in works of Roman scholars and critics, to
trace its origins and estimate at what point the Greek term might have entered the terminological
apparatus of Roman literary criticism; finally, a possible source for Servius’ use
of diasyrticus is suggested. It is shown that the semantics of the Greek adjective διασυρ-
τικóς, which derives from the noun διασύρτης ‘malicious liar, detractor’, combines two
aspects, designating the speech of one who seeks to fool his listeners or to slander someone
or something before their eyes, but also does this with malicious intent, taking a
mean delight in their gullibility. It appears that the term διασυρτικóς began to be used by
Roman scholars and critics at the end of the first century BCE (cf. the use of διασυρτικός
in Περὶ τρόπων of the Alexandrian grammarian Trypho who, according to the tradition,
taught in Rome at that time). Among the occurrences of diasyrticus in Roman scholarship,
Aelius Donatus’ use of it in his commentary on Terence is particularly significant. Donatus
was also the author of an important commentary on Vergil (now largely lost), and an
important source for Servius as he was composing his own commentary. It is therefore
highly probable that it was ultimately from Donatus’ work that Servius adopted the term
diasyrticus, limiting its application, however, only to Sinon’s speech. Refs 13.

title: ABOUT THE BOUNDARY MARKERS OF THE TRANSITION PERIODS: LYRICAL DIGRESSIONS IN THE FICTION BY ANTON CHEKHOV

dc.contributor.author

value: Vasileva, Irina

dc.description.abstract

value:
Anton Chekhov is generally acknowledged as a writer who symbolizes a transition period,
marks the end of the Classical Russian literature of the 19th century and establishes the basics of the poetics of the 20th century. Scholars are traditionally focused on Chekhov’s
innovations but not on the connections with the previous tradition. This contribution
makes an attempt to reassess the aspect of Chekhov’s poetics which could be called
historical “form’s thinking” (in Alexander Mikhailov’s terminology). I mean the features
of tradition which result from historical dynamics of culture and are beyond individual
principles of artistic consciousness. In the culture prior to the New Age, topos was a form
which included both principles and ways of thinking. In this research I analyze lyrical
digressions in the Russian fiction of the 19th century which correlate with topoi on the
basis of their constitution. The strategy of lyrical digressions rests on the movement between
two poles of the being: historical and eternal, individual and universal, etc. Before
Chekhov, this movement was strictly hierarchical. In Chekhov’s lyrical digressions one
can easily notice a shift of semantic coordinates when the concrete and the situational
becomes valuable. However, the poles themselves (individual and universal) and the
movement between them remain invariable. It is possible to claim that Chekhov’s poetics
although discovers the boundaries of semantic dynamics of the lyrical digressions (as
a constant form) is not aware of any other principle of thinking. This fact distinguishes
Chekhov from his younger contemporaries and makes him the writer of the classical 19th
century. Refs 20.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a study of the seven most common images of nature phenomena
in folklore (the sun, the moon, the stars, the day, the night, the wind, the rain) in Colombian
riddles. The riddle is one of the oldest genres of oral folk art, a means of preserving cultural memory, educating ingenuity and creative thinking. The article reflects the stages
of the development of Colombian riddles from the appearance of the enigmatic genre
in Europe, the popularization of the riddle in Spanish, its export to the New World to
the acquisition of national-specific Colombian features that accumulated the features of
European, Indigenous and African cultures. The material of the article was about 300 Colombian
riddles, most of which were taken from collections of traditional riddles of the
departments of Colombia; riddles posted in Colombian Internet sources. The article also
presents the results of a linguistic experiment conducted among Russian and Colombian
youth to solve Colombian riddles in Spanish. The main research methods are semantic,
interpretative, linguoculturological analysis, cultural commentary. The main objective of
the article is to analyze the ethnolinguistic features of the figurative representation of
nature in the Colombian linguoculture, as well as to find out how modern youth understands
the metaphorical description of natural phenomena in riddles. The article finds
that the Colombian riddles combine traditional Spanish cryptic texts and the realities of
everyday life, cultural and religious associations peculiar to Colombia. Refs 8.

title: THE NOUN BUCKET: THE FIGURATIVE SENSE OVERLOOKED BY DICTIONARIES

dc.contributor.author

value: Tolochin, Igor V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper makes a strong case for treating figurative contexts of an English word as an
important factor in the disambiguation of its polysemy and in the search for successful
sense definitions. The noun bucket has been selected for a case study. A comparative
study of the definition of bucket in Lexico online dictionary and in a number of selected
contexts drawn from electronic databases clearly demonstrates the inconclusive information
the dictionary provides about the meaning of this noun. The root cause of this is
attributed to the insufficient attention the lexicographers have paid to the markers of the figurative use of bucket in context. The analysis of figurative contexts has made it possible
to define a separate figurative sense of this word and also to account for the meaning
and the expressive potential of the compound bucket list and the phrase kick the bucket
traditionally considered a non-compositional idiom meaning die. The analysis of the figurative
sense of bucket also reveals a strong positive evaluative charge at the very core of
the meaning of this word. A hypothesis is proposed that further study of the evaluative
potential of the nouns bucket, pail and can may clarify the differences in their meaning
and help avoid cross-references in dictionary definitions. Defining the figurative sense of
bucket adds a missing link to the systemic representation of its meaning in dictionaries
and highlights its role in informing the expressive potential and meaning of bucket list and
kick the bucket. Refs 15.

title: BETWEEN LEXICON AND GRAMMAR: ON THE SYNTAX OF IDIOMS

dc.contributor.author

value: Dobrovol’skij, Dmitrij O.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The focus of the present study is a category that characterizes some types of phraseological
units — the semantic analyzability of idioms. Syntactic variability of an idiom depends on how semantically independent parts of this idiom are. Thus, the semantic
autonomy of the constituents of an idiom determines (along with other factors) its syntactic
behavior. The greater the semantic independence of the individual constituents of
the idiom, the greater the potential for its syntactic variation. Conversely, the stronger the
semantic cohesion of the constituents of the idiom, the more it resists various modifications.
Semantic analyzability of idioms is significant both from a practical and theoretical
point of view. On the one hand, semantic analyzability helps to determine the limits of
the variability of idioms, which is essential for solving a number of practical problems —
first of all, for marking idioms in the corpus. On the other hand, semantic analyzability
is a factor determining the place of a given unit on the lexicon-grammar axis. Linguistic
phenomena located between lexicon and grammar are of increasing interest to linguists
today. Usually phraseology as a whole — and in particular idioms as its central class — is
considered to be belonging to the scope of the lexicon. The main distinguishing feature of
idioms, which, although they generally obey the same grammatical rules as free phrases,
is a single lexical meaning. Nevertheless, idioms are heterogeneous with respect to their
position on the lexicon-grammar axis: non-analyzable idioms are closer to the lexical pole
than analyzable ones. Refs 33.

title: SERPENT/DRAGON IN PLATO-ARISTOTELIAN POLEMICS OF THE 15TH CENTURY

dc.contributor.author

value: Semikolennykh, Maria V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The serpent or dragon and its fight with the dragonslayer is a traditional mythological
and literary motif. It is also common for a polemical context, when an adversary — a
schismatic, a heretic, a political opponent — is compared to a poisonous or fire-breathing monster. Among the many eschatological images that George of Trebizond cites in his
dramatic characteristic of Plato and the Platonists in Comparatio philosophorum Aristotelis
et Platonis (1458), there is also a comparison of Platonic teachings with a serpent, a dragon,
or the many-headed Hydra. This is not a coincidence: George draws quite obvious
parallels between the triumph of Platonism (which he hopes to prevent) and the triumph
of the Antichrist, who is often described as dragon or associated with a snake; the association
with the eloquent and treacherous serpent is also transparent. The opponents of
George of Trebizond: Basilios Bessarion, Theodore Gaza, Niccolò Perotti, Domitio Calderini,
— ignore George’s “eschatological” accusations. However, they also resort to the image
of a dragon, snake, or chimera, applying it to George himself — in their writings, the
struggle with his “serpentine tongue” and “all-besmearing infectious breath” turns into
a kind of collective dragon slaying. The article discusses examples of comparison with a
serpent/dragon in George of Trebizond, Niccolò Perotti, and Domitio Calderini’s writings,
their context, and various interpretations of serpent/dragon motif. Refs 15.

title: THE BUSH IN ALEXANDER KUSHNER’S POETRY: SEMANTICS OF IMAGERY

dc.contributor.author

value: Ponomareva, Marina V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with one of the most frequent imagery in Alexander Kushner’s poetry
— the bush. The source of the research is the whole corpus of the poet’s lyrics — from
Kushner’s first poetry collections in 1960s to his latest magazine publications. In studying
the semantics of the imagery we strive to employ a complex approach, using elements of
comparative historical, formal and structural methods. Among Kushner’s floral imagery
(the garden, the tree, the bush) it is the bush that appears the most important and ambiguous.
The article demonstrates the meaning of the imagery (as A. Ariev states it, the
bush is the Kushner’s “main metaphor of life”) and its agreement to Kushner’s poetics
(attention to the small, the private, the day-to-day. the proportionality to the man, the
publicity waive. It is shown that there is a persistent comparison of the bush and the poet’s lyrical ego. For the first time, the following functions are revealed: 1) bush as a part of
the landscape, including the urban one, and as a marker of Leningrad/Saint-Petersburg
space; 2) bush as a limit between the worlds: a) between the mudane life and the death;
b) between the mundate life and the higher divine existence; 3) bush as a metaphor of
death: the imagery of a broken, fruitless and snow-covered bush symbolises the death as
an oblivion; 4) bush as a metaphor of eternal life: the imagery of a flowery bush may be
used as an icon of an “eternal spring” that awaits the human beyond the limits of earthly
life. In addition, Kushner’s bush is tightly connected to the whole topic of creativity,
seizing of speech and divine presence (the Burning Bush). The article shows complexity,
ambivalence of the imagery. Refs 9.

title: TRADITIONAL AND NEW FUNCTIONS OF EGO-COMPONENT IN WORD FORMATION IN GERMAN AND ENGLISH

dc.contributor.author

value: Melgunova, Anna V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers traditional terminology as well as ego-component neologisms and
occasionalisms in German and English and characterizes their structure and semantics.
The research is based on German and English scientific and popular scientific works, as well as media articles. The Latin pronoun ego has long been used substantivized and in
word formations in different languages. Traditionally, many ego-component words are
terminological in nature. First of all, such vocabulary is common for psychological and
philosophic terminology. The analysis of such lexical units is to determine new tendencies
of how this pronoun component functions in word formation and how ego-component
words operate in various texts. One of the tendencies is expanding the list of
sciences where ego-component terms become common, for example, Ego-Dokumente in
historical science. Another tendency is connected with the use of ego-component words
in political life to criticize particular politicians or whole political parties. The emergence
of neologisms such as der Ego-Shooter, ego surfing, das Ego-Googeln is associated with new
technologies. The article also presents the variety of this vocabulary graphic representation
in two languages. The novelty of the research lies in approaching the subject interdisciplinary
by using terminology of different sciences and also analyzing occasionalisms
and the role of context in their interpretation. The author concludes about a wide range
of combinability of ego with roots from different languages, as well as the variability in the
meaning of this component depending on the text subject. Refs 19.

title: KULISH AND BYRON (TO THE HISTORY OF DON JUAN’S TRANSLATIONS INTO UKRAINIAN)

dc.contributor.author

value: Toichkina, Alexandra V.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Translations of Byron’s works occupy a special place in the work of P. A. Kulish (1819–
1897). They can be divided into three parts: nine poems included in the poetry collection
Borrowed kobza; Don Juan, first canto; Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. As far as we know,
Kulish was the first to attempt to translate Byron’s last, unfinished poem into Ukrainian.
He chose not the “learned” type of translation, but “rehash”, which allowed more free
experimentation in the field of vocabulary and rhythm. The edition was published as a
separate reprint in 1891. Kulish saw his task in providing a translation of Byron’s poem Don Juan to help the younger generation of Ukrainians as a kind of textbook of life, as a
means of protecting oneself from spiritual passions, from human egoism. In addition, the
translation of the poem was important for Kulish in terms of developing a lyrical narrative
style, which he applied in his last poem Kulish in Hell. Byron developed his own style of
narration and used a confidential tone in the poem, referring to the direct experience of
the reader. Kulish’s translation into Ukrainian of such a complex and rich work in terms
of vocabulary, intonation, and rhyme was a rather difficult experiment. This translation is
important both for the study of the creativity of Kulish and the processes of formation of
the Ukrainian literary language and Ukrainian poetry. Refs 10.
