This aspect are the limits of candor during the answer along with their reasons. The work also aims at the analysis of the strategies of discursive behavior during an inter-level contact between a law enforcement unit officer and a felon. In the article, the author uses a model to analyze the Russian criminal discourse that was proven earlier on the basis of a synthesis of the ideas suggested by L.N. Gumilev, U. Eco, and O.V. Leszczak. This model made it possible to prove the existence of the Thieves’ Law in a written form with further division into the Old Thieves’ Law and the New Thieves’ Law that differ from each other in material form of their existence. Moreover, it was possible to shift back the moment of its formation up to hundreds of years earlier than it was believed before. The material gathered by the author in conversations is verified on the basis of open-access sources; it allows the author not to mention the personal data of respondents’, who live in different European countries, and totally eliminates such possibility. In this research, the author focuses on one and only aspect, other related aspects are taken into consideration according to their necessity for the aims of the work
This article examines the story of the unexpected stay
of lieutenant Vasily Golovnin in South Africa in 1808
during his famous navigation around the world. In fact,
the Russian sailor had to stop in Simonstown for a
short while to stock up and put his boat in shape.
However, his visit on this archipelago which newly
belonged to British had coincided with the moments of
crisis between Russian and British empires in Europe.
These events obliged Golovnin to stay in the Cape of
Good Hope for thirteen months. Enjoying his freedom
of movement, the young navigator will exploit this
long stay to describe the daily life of South African
people. During his travels across the Cape Colony,
Golovnin meets with colonists and colonized, and tells
about the mechanism of their cohabitation. Even if it is
not so abundant, his travelogue remains the first one
realized by a Russian on South Africa and will always
be crucial for the future generations of Russian
mariners who will follow his itinerary. From Kronstadt
to Kamchatka, Golovnin described the amazing events,
but there, it will exclusively focus on the part of his
travelogue [3] about his long and exceptional “stay at
the Cape of Good Hope”
This article describes some interesting facts of Modern English and Greek Grammar and pay our attention to extension of constructions “noun + article” without article in publicist-oral speech, where it should be. Our observations show some phenomena of evolution of system “noun + article”. This article is due to some cases of using articles, which we can’t often find in traditional native and foreign normal grammars. In English Grammar the ellipsis of article meets stylistic and syntax’s requirements. But there isn’t such limitation in Greek Grammar, that’s why on the one hand, we qualify the ellipsis of article as a realization of category determinacyindeterminacy, and on the other hand, we can see the generalization of the meaning of article. Illustrative materials are newspapers’ articles of classical British dialectical English and Dimotiki (oral New Greek).There are not only main rules of articles in periodical and oral speech, but also the meaning of nouns, which we can understand from surrounding context and geographical position, also as a style of periodical publications
A training text in a foreign language is a fundamental communicative unit of the learning process. However there is tracing a tendency to explain the text as a global fact in the scientific literature and to study language’s contacts with different sides of human activity, which are actualizing through the text. The data shows at first that linguistic and cultural features of training texts are connected with communicative directivity of the foreign language learning process, second, they are due to the goals and objectives of learning. In the article the cultural component of training texts is reviewed, the types of texts determining sociolinguistic behavior of the characters, with which someone learning foreign language should identify himself, are marked, sociocultural subject of texts of tutorials in German and French is analyzed. A pragmatic aspect of training texts is studied separately, quantitative and genre texts’ relations and authentic and quasi-realistic texts’ relations in German and French are compared. Studying of features of training text in foreign language allows characterize it as a universal unit, which fosters to form a communicative competence and influence the recipient complex. Results of the study expand knowledge about the methodical potential of a training text in learning a foreign language and culture and are of interest for experts in the fields of linguistic, linguodidactics and intercultural communication
The article is concerned with proxemic communication connected with changing the relative positioning of communicants when interacting, in fictional prose of K.D. Vorobyov. This essential part of interaction is implied with the individual author’s approach to verbal representation of corresponding features and lexis’s choice preferences, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics in the writer’s fictional prose. By analogy with the term paracinema, the term paraproxema is also used for defining these kinds of language phenomena. Paraproxemas were analyzed with reference to semantic, stylistic and morphological aspects. There are two thematic groups of terms with the reference to retract and extend of the relative positioning of communicants being defined in the article. The distribution is based on semantics of verbs and function words. Changing the relative positioning of communicants changes the social zone and reports different information as exemplified with three stories of K.D. Vorobyov. The mutual influence of paracinemas and paraproxemas creates the integrated image of communicants, which gestures, facial expressions, and movements not only accompany but also complete speech
The article discusses the phraseological verbalization of the concept of “Construction/строительство (стройка)”. The fundamental changes taking place in social, cultural, political life of the society may have an effect on the national language mind now. Since a human being plays the role of the main action actant and there are no mind, thought, language out of subject, he is the focus of the thought concentration, ideas, interests, imagery, sensations, notions. In the opinion of the author, appearance, disappearance, change of the certain categories and notions connected with the processes and social phenomena actualize the use of the construction vocabulary in a language and speech directly connected with the presentation of the concept of “construction“. As a result, the research of these concept language realization peculiarities is of interest. The author presents the given notion as the model of a lexical and phraseological field with the consecutive description of its structure in German and Russian. The parallel analysis of the distant periphery units is carried out according to 9 subject groups: “structures”, “parts of a building”, “interior space of a building”, “exterior space of a building”, “сonstruction materials”, “construction instruments”, “construction operations”, “craft/construction professions”, “city planning / administrative division”. The analysis of the phraseological units shows that fragments of the lexical and phraseological field of German and Russian participate in the conceptualization of the “Construction” term

The analysis of the philosophical and narrative structure’s features in the novels by modern Spanish writer A. Pérez-Reverte has been reviewed in this article. His works present an example of the postmodern double coding, that is the compound a mass and elite, playing and moral. It allows to avoid the text’s tendentiousness and to keep the content. In the novel “The Siege” A. Pérez-Reverte uses the detective story, but he deconstructs it: keeping the traditional plot’s scheme the writer changes the images’ interpretation, the meaning of the finale, adds
the intertext and the conceptual metaphors (the chess, the net, the herbarium). They code some philosophical ideas about human life. At the same time A. Pérez-Reverte asks the traditional classic literature’s questions and shows how war influences the person, what is love and so on. He also makes a psychological analysis of actions’ reasons and reveal the feelings’ contradictory. As a result, the multilayer, nonlinear and metaphorical narrative has been viewed as a particular tool of the author’s opinion realization and the philosophical implication’s creation. And with it the postmodern polysemic text associates with a psychological analysis and humanism
