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 aim of our study is to determine the degree of
speech influence of the utterances of Russian
politicians in political debates. We analyze speech
influence from the point of view of the category of
intensity. By identifying the means expressing
intensity in the Russian language we have calculated
which and how many of them were used in Russian
political debates. By using the methods of the strategic
approach we have calculated which and how many of
the means expressing intensity were used in the
strategy of discredit and in the strategy of selfpresentation.
By using the notion of the argument, the
argumentative course and argumentative step we have
created the argumentative structure of the utterances of
Russian politicians, which may consist of one or more
levels. The more levels are in the argumentative
structure, the more intensive is the argument. So we
have calculated the levels of each argument. We also
considered the connection between the reasons. Linked
arguments are more intensive than convergent ones.
So we have calculated how many arguments with the
linked connection and how many with the convergent
connection there are in the analyzed political debates
This article conveys J. Donn’s poetry from the point of
view of archetype “Height”, namely the Sun. The Sun
as an object of the material world, always attracts
people’s attention. At all times it has energy and
power, tenderness and endearment. The Sun has been
in the focus of interest both for primitive men and our
contemporaries. The Sun is depicted in literature,
works of art, folklore, architecture. In the poems by J.
Donn the Sun is personificated, the author gives Him
human beings’ features, the hero is equal to Him, he
asks the Sun questions and even tries to reign over
Him. The Sun rays can be compared with passion, high
feelings, gladness; love is associated with sunrise,
zenith and sunset. Partly this article compares barocco
and modern literature. The archetype “Height” is
connected with the Sun image in the Medieval
literature. So, it may be concluded that the Sun, its
image and archetype is the key point of J. Donn’s
creative work
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 deals with the specifics of verbal
actualization of the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” in
the modern English-speaking discourse. 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. The author notes the concept can be
submitted directly via the meaning of “MUSLIM
WORLD” or by its connotation. The means of a
nominative, descriptive and expressive realization of
the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” are described using
the material of 100 pieces of contemporary Englishlanguage
discourse, which actualize the concept
“MUSLIM WORLD”. The author concludes the
concept is treated as a multidimensional construct of
thought, reflecting the knowledge of the surrounding
reality, the process and the result of human activity,
experience and knowledge about the world, containing
the information about it. Cognitive-discursive analysis
permits to set the content and the structure of the
concept “MUSLIM WORLD” not only in the
conditional but also in the discursive spaces in
cooperation with nominative, descriptive and
expressive realization. The author makes a conclusion
the concept “MUSLIM WORLD” appears in the
American print mass media from a negative sight - this
is the result of a lack of public awareness about the
cultural heritage of the Islamic world, its customs, and
key problems
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the
ethnoethics of speech behavior of Karachai-Balkar
people, which involves the study of linguistic
explication of the rules of communication. Special
attention is paid to the definition of "ethnoetnics". The
analysis of functioning in oral and verbal discourse in
different situations culturally rich linguistic units,
makes explicit the principles of communicative
behavior is presented. It is noted that the verbal and
associative level of Karachai and Balkars is the
reflection of their ethno-cultural model behaviour,
projected by key conceptual components of
linguoethnic worldview
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 deals with different approaches how to
interfere texts analysis in the program of teaching
foreigners (on the basis of the Russian language).
According to our research, for beginners it is more
reasonably to use and analyze real texts, as far as these
texts are close to life, have simple vocabulary and
grammar. For the virtual texts the situation is the
opposite. The main aim of the author is to please the
reader, that is why the author uses a lot of tropes,
metaphors, figures and very complex grammar to show
the beauty of his language. For foreign students this
may be a problem at the beginning, because they are
not good in the language and it is very hard to
understand. The analysis of the virtual texts is better to
do on the base or advanced level
Verity as the basic criterion of argumentive sphere is
positioned in the article from the notion of its
relevance including discursive semantic number of
concepts. Integrative character of the problem at the
junction of logics, psychology and linguistics is
presented. Thus, according to theoretical colligation
interpretive abilities of components of the categorical
sphere of argumentation (knowledge, modality,
causality) are considered. It is possible to make a
conclusion that discursive character of argumentation
determines the actualization of the appropriate
strategies
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
