The peculiarities of representation of the concept
“Muslim World” in modern English discourse are
regarded in this article. Based on the achievements of
cognitive linguistics and cultural linguistics, it is
possible to research the concept of “Muslim World” as
a phenomenon of the English linguistic culture.
Different approaches to the definition of the term
“concept” are studied. The article describes
definitional analysis of lexical items “Muslim” and
“World” in modern English dictionaries. Based on
these results, it is concluded dictionaries present the
term “Muslim”, first of all, as a human - a follower of
a particular religion. We can say the concept “Muslim
world” is presented in the social and conceptual
knowledge as one of the manifestations of the human
world and is used in relation to the reality of cultural
and historical unity of the Islamic nation. This concept
serves as an image of reality in the system theory of
knowledge. The further studying of the Islamic world,
as definition is possible to make with the mutual
enrichment of the social reality of other peoples.
“Muslim world” in accordance with the principle of
universal connection of phenomena reveals its
potential in the modern world and it becomes possible
to establish relationship between people, nature and
society, as well as their mutual influence on each other

decadence of culture in English-speaking countries

The article deals with the typology of media
discourse, we have also studied the mechanisms of
impact on the audience, identifying and analyzing the
linguistic and paralinguistic means of influence on
the examples of certain types of discourse: insincere,
political, ritual, religious, advertising, including
media discourse. The author of this research
proposes to consider the definition of a variety of
Russian and foreign linguists, pointing out that the
concept "of the mass media discourse" refers to the
problematic field of mass communication as a
process of information exchange between all the
actors of society, aimed at shaping public opinion
about socially significant piece of social life. Mass
communication as a kind of verbal activity "is due to
the social process in which the function is updated
using a variety of communication tools and
channels." As a source of social and mass
communication, we highlight a social institution or
"collegiate sender", producing a total of texts a
certain type of consciousness and the installation for
a particular type of pragmatism - the goals and
aspirations of expectations. Recipient of the mass
media messages is a broad mass audience, it is not
homogeneous, and so the text of the mass media
should be clear to the mass consumer
The peculiarities of the author strategies by
Mikhail Elizarov are analyzed in the article. His
works "balance" on the verge of postmodernist and
realistic practice. The author's prose has received
mixed reviews in the critique that’s why to reveal
its aesthetic component, problem and poetological
levels is an actual problem of the philological
science, which is aimed to recreate a complete
picture of the morden literary process. An
analytical review of the works which reveals
stylistic features of M. Elizarov's prose is given as
well as the analysis of the author's interview
concerning the artistic conception of works that
indicate the representative specific of his artistic
worldview. The latter is associated with the project
of the «new realism» which was declared in the
beginning of the XXI century. The need to display
the word «changes» and «faults» of the age to
simulate image of the hero «of its time» is an
artistic problem which is solved by adherents of the
«new» literature, with all sincerity, and often with
peremptoriness of the ideological evaluations.
«New realist» Zakhar Prilepin definitely sees
Mikhail Elizarov as ally and like-minded person in
its implementation. The objectivity of this
statement is not in the «generational», the agerelated
community but in a deep interest in the
man's fate, the history of his personality and desire
to «write» on the background of its changeable,
controversial and, at times, tragic reality
The article analyzes the literary prose by Olga
Slavnikova in the context of the literature of the late
XX – early XXI centuries. The work of the writer is
poorly investigated; the study of it is presented in
modern literature only in the form of reviews and
analysis of some of the concepts and motives. Scientific
paper actualizes the problem of artistic method in the
works of the writer. It is difficult to classify into one
particular artistic method the work of many modern
writers. The installations of several trends intersect in
works some of them, even contradictory sometimes.
Creativity by Olga Slavnikova isn’t exception in this
series. At all levels of her prose, we have revealed
various aspects that characterize the work of
Slavnikova from the point of view of postmodernism,
magical realism and women's prose. Categories of
Death and Emptiness, the idea is the signified of
existence and the illusory nature of the real are purely
postmodernist, from the point of view of magical
realism examines the images of metaphysical beings
and the other world, also mentions personal and
psychological motives as an art installation of women’s
prose. Furthermore, with a postmodern understanding
of reality realistic psychology characterized for all
works, some constants of postmodernism are revealed
using style settings of magical realism
