The article deals with the problem of author
identification in the early autobiographical prose of
Boris Pasternak. In his early autobiography "Safe
Conduct" the poet searches for artistic and personal
self-identification. Unlike the traditional genre of
autobiography, "Safe Conduct" is based not on
memory of real facts but on sensual feelings from
them. It means that autobiographical prose created by
the poet reduces the real biographical facts, filling
gaps with emotions and feelings. This feature coupled
with fragmentariness of narrative fragmentation tends
“challenge to biographism”. Indulging in memories,
searching for artistic self-identification the poet
defines his own identity. Search for himself Pasternak
associates with biography of "other" people, who have
played a great role in formation of his personality.
“Safe Conduct” is tractate on someone else's creative
genius. Meanwhile the author puts himself aside and
takes a reset position towards “other” talents. These
relationships have a repeated temper. Firstly, the
author admires someone’s talent, coming closer to it,
and then breaks up with it, and finds his own way. The
final goal of self-identification is poetry; the author
closes to it through philosophy and music, overcomes
their attractiveness and leaves them. The fundamental
feature of Pasternak’s poetry and biography is the
necessity to identify and understand himself through
"alien", "other" things
The article analyzes "Notebooks" by one of the most
prominent playwrights of the 20th century Aleksandr
Vampilov. "Notebooks" are considered as an example
of ironic discourse in this genre. The study of irony
nature in Vampilov’s “Notebooks” reveals the patterns
of ironic discourse, which manifest themselves in the
ironic light of serious domestic, moral, and professional
problems. We perceive it today as intellectual and
moral impetus, a special mood allowing us to survive,
as self-protection of the individual from the pressure of
reality. The irony in Vampilov’s "Notebooks" is
achieved by the desire of getting away from the
stereotypes of consciousness, obsolete dogmas. The
irony "disallows" the eternal oppositions "new—old",
"temporary—eternal", "subjective—objective", "art—
life". The ironic game with terms, cliché expressions,
denoting compromised political and ideological
phenomena, with the concept of a name; the ironic
interpretation of moon image as a leitmotif in
Vampilov’s work reflect dominant ironic pathos of
notebooks. The analysis of “Notebooks” by A.
Vampilov allows us to understand the irony not only as
a consequence of painful antinomicity, personal
spiritual contradictions inherent to the artist of that
time, but as a way of world vision: the ability to
overcome the deadlock of crisis period, and aspiration
of the creative personality to the desired integrity
The article was written in the mainstream of modern
Lingua-cognitive research and is dedicated to the
analysis of precedent texts created by a group of
languag- personality of a high school student, as well as
intertextual meaningswhich have been updated by signs,
misleading by precedent texts and demonstrating
category of artistic values of language groupe
personality of the student. The main methods of
precedent texts studies, were continuous sampling of the
material, linguistic experiment and semantic-cognitive
analysis. The study was made on a material of texts of a
educational online communication. The analysis results
were 1) identification of the main structural components
and content of student precedent texts of online subdiscourse;
2) the classification of the group of precedent
texts student linguistic identity, including modern
phraseological units; 3) The consideration of the
phraseological transformation of units in the online
discourse; 4) the definition of the role of new borrowing
in the current phraseologisms student community.
The goal of the phraseological transformation is a
student a data encoding of lexical units in order to enrich
the student sub language, giving it brightness and
imagery. This conclusion fits into the general tendence
of modern contact process and cognitive linguistics
The article is devoted to the analysis of law definitions and its influence on law discourse-text universe. Linguistics can interfere into jurisprudence by introduction of mini-dictionary into the text of the law. Law is a mixture of legal norms and regulations plus philological pearl – thesaurus. It is not only reasonable but necessary to adopt definition to the body of law, because the meaning of the term can vary depending on goals and aims of the law. The legislation of the Krasnodar territory is analyzed in the article in the philological aspect. The choice of examined laws is proved not only because of the agrarian component of the region but also because of the presence of powerful base of tourist-recreational services. In the article there is regional evidential material. The exact actual laws are depicted, philological assessment of their language and legislative importance is given, it is mentioned that conceptual instrument is present in main normative acts. The problem of methodological basis is actualized. In the research the contrastive analysis of similar laws of the Krasnodar territory, Great Britain and southern states of the USA in discourse-text universe is conducted. The conclusions can determine the processes of language interference in today’s changeable picture of the world
The article examines the structural and semantic specificity of demonological vocabulary on the material of fantastic novels in Russian, English and Spanish linguocultures. We have analyzed different classifications of scientists devoted their work to the systematization of demonological lexis together with the complex approach of its study such as systemic-functional, functional-pragmatic, onomasiological, cognitive, psycolinguistic, ethnolinguistic methods. The given classifications are mostly based on motivation and reflect onomasiological approach of demonological lexis. The great attention is given to “objective” and “subjective” methods of nominating. It is shown the definition of “demonology” from scientific points of view – philosophic, folkloristic, literal. We have also given the definition of “demonologeme” and the term of “demonological lexis”. We give classification of monolexems, doublelexems, word complexes and derivatives nominating characters of demonic sphere, and we also set stylistic authoring features of a literary text
The article discusses the specific character of the representation of the notion “Security Architecture” presenting the concept “Construction” in Russian, German and English linguistic fields. The peculiarities of the cultural and historical development, fundamental divergences of the political systems,
levels of economic and social progress, different world -view and world interpretation of Russia, Germany, Great Britain and the USA resulted in causes of the polar appreciation of the notion “Security Architecture” from the point of view of national and international interests. The increasing tendencies of the global changes in the world politics and political line of these countries are reflected in lexical language figures and in social journalism realized in the political discourse. The undertaken trends of the lexical-semantic and comparative analysis of present lexical units and certain texts of Russian, German and Anglo-American printed mass media and research papers have revealed the different comprehension of the notion “Security Architecture” in the national linguistic cultures. It made possible to draw a conclusion on polar connotation of the notion in Russian, German and English conditioned by the specified tendencies in political, ideological and economic fields. To the opinion of the author the notion “Security Architecture” presented by the concept “Construction” because of its actualization may claim to be universal and therefore be related to the constants of culture. In this regard, the analysis of the notion “Security Architecture” as a part of the present concept is of a substantial interest. Due to results of the present research, the author resumes the peculiarities of explication of cognitive signs and the reasons influencing the transformation of the notion in Russian, German and English linguistic cultures
The article aims to show the problems, which a
researcher has to face during the analysis of the
Thieves’ Law. The Thieves Law is considered as a
synthesis of texts that can be decomposed into subsets
of smaller texts. The originals of such texts in various
languages were lost, and their later translations and
compilations made the analysis more difficult. The
synthesis of such texts is viewed through the prism of
generally understood Kabbalah, and the main
principle is an esoteric search for the "inner sense"
that is based on the algorithms and stereotypes in
criminal activity. The mental spaces of legal law and
religious systems give a reference space of the
Thieves Law by such approach. The parts of such
mental spaces contradictory to others are removed
from this reference space. Not only words but also
phrases, sentences, texts, and even sets of texts, any
multilevel signs at accidental and planned asymmetry
in form and essence become codifying elements in
sources full of allegory and parable. The analysis is
based on a synthesis of views by L.N. Gumilev, U.
Eco, and O.V. Leszczak
The authors of this article affect the actual topic of
the use of foreign words in the media, which is
inevitable in our time due to changes in the state
system and economic structure system of Russia.
Number of foreign words in modern Russian
language is very large and is growing every day
because almost every English word can be borrowed
regardless of the appropriateness of such
replenishment of lexical structure. The causes of
borrowed words can be different in nature factors, the
need for new forms of language, in a variety of
means, brevity and clarity, in convenience. The
reasons for borrowing in the language of the mass
media, is seen terminology "craze" expressive
originality, emotional expression and the
identification of sublanguage. The process of
borrowing the words does not occur spontaneously
and at the same time. It happens for a long time,
gradually, provides a series of steps and stages.
Russian language recently borrowed a large flow of
English words with suffix -ing-, clear structural
separability and value received and the foreign
language element -maker, quite confidently took its
positions in the language prefix -super
This article is dedicated to the specialties of formation,
consolidation and use of written speech at English
classes in a non-linguistic university. The main aspects
of writing are determined which imply spelling,
written speech, business letter writing skills and
translation. Special tasks directed to perfection of
every component are worked out for non-linguistic
students. All these aspects make the process of
studying the English language more effective,
motivated, and the consolidation of the communicative
competence more efficient
The article focuses on the place of the (Thieves')
Notions in the hierarchy of values in criminal activity
from the viewpoint of functional-pragmatic typology
of linguasemiotic experience. The Notions are
intentions (intentials) that correlate to the upper (The
Thieves' Law) and lower (Limits/Thieves'
Commandments) levels of the hierarchy of values.
The Notions were described in diachronic aspect with
regard to their place and esoteric functions in the
Master Felons' Law. The functional-pragmatic
typology was aimed to show the differences in the
ways of distribution of reference features
(categorization processes), what reflects in
formalization (ritualization and folkization) of social
behaviour. Such approach was based on a panchronic
connection of the idea of informational kind to the
idea of energo-material kind. When correlating with
the upper level of the hierarchy of values, the Notions
can be considered a Random Access Memory
connected to a slow encoded memory of greater
capacity (The Thieves' Law). The Notions provide for
a faster reaction of an individual when making a
choice in criminal activity
