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
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
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 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
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”
In this article the linguistic-pragmatic problems of kineme verbal representation in literary text space are examined. The authors interpret the concepts of "speech act illocutionary force" and "performative utterance", which are becoming more widespread within the frame of pragmatic theory, speech act theory being the very core of it. The authors emphasize the kinemes which are used attended by verbal utterance. First, they complement verbal part, serving as speech act illocutionary force marker. Secondly, kinemes duplicate verbal utterance information and together with verbal part of the utterance create speech act illocutionary force. The authors draw special attention to non-verbal kinemes as they carry the entire "message", serving as speech act illocutionary goal markers. In addition, kinemes as any other signs undergo alterations under social and economic, cultural conditions and convey culture-specific and universal concepts of Russian and French kinesics systems. These characteristics are foregrounded in cross-cultural communication, in connection with complexity of denotation object construal and sign-oriented similarity establishment
A language for professional communication is formed and exists due to the human need for language design of special information that he develops in the course of targeted special activities. The pace and direction of modern society and technology development contribute to the continuous formation of new concepts and terms that requires study and systematization. The formation of new terms takes place due to the augmentation of the new additional content of the known concepts, which acquire their structure and boundaries. The increment of meanings is due to the metaphorical functioning of vocabulary in the language, which is a cognitive mechanism re-categorization of an object. The article is made in line with current studies of cognitive aspects of language activity in the professional field and is devoted to the analysis of anticoncept as a reflection of the development of the concept. Anticoncept is the result of internal cognitive conflict of cognition objects. Shaping itself, it pushes off and at the same time can “finish” concept. This peculiarity is demonstrated in the dichotomy brown economy – green economy, where the concept is less developed than anticoncept and shows asymmetry. Despite the fact that anticoncept is an anomaly relative to concept, it is more detailed and, perhaps, precisely because of its unusualness. The imbalance in the conceptualization of the professional activities fragments emerging due to characteristics of concept spheres is emphasized
