The article deals with the dynamic interaction of events and narratives. As a result of this interaction, stable links ‘events-narratives’ appear; they influence the formation and transformation of social and cultural processes in society. Event-narrative links form the basis of the system of norms ...
Events as a semantic framework for the construction of reality: the prospects of a transition to a dynamic ontology

The rhetoric and logic of the representations of the Russian-Turkish War of 1877–1878 in Russian public discourse
... the first major foreign policy challenges for the Russian Empire in the entirely new public sphere situation. The military reform of 1784, which replaced recruitment with conscription, translated in the involvement of the general public in the current events. The new public sphere, which had been developing from the 1850s, required new languages both to describe and to transform reality, as well as to produce a collective action. The tremendous public excitement, which spread across the most diverse ...

Special attention is given to the integration of the frame analysis tools and corpora data and the opportunities this combination presents for analyzing the process of event ...
Cognitive and linguistic aspects of forming of event-driven concepts
... event-driven concept is analyzed in the dynamic process of its tructuring in a recipient's consciousness; the functional semantico-syntactical frame of event-driven concepts with various categorial functional relations between the participants of corresponding events is shown and the linguodidactic aspect of the use of even-driven concept derivation theory for concepts of event-driven nature is demonstrated.

The initial data was obtained through the content analysis of published and archival sources. The authors examined more than 600 events. The results of the study are the main quantitative parameters of the rebel movement: action forms, the composition of participants, requirements, etc. The largest number of events occurred in the Volga region (22 %), Petrograd (17 %), Moscow (13 ...
Regional politics of memory during the commemoration of the anniversaries of historical events in the Republic of Ingushetia
... memory of trauma through discursive practices and other channels, including education and memorial infrastructure. By contrast, the memory of Ingush statehood is supported by both regional and federal actors. This narrative excludes references to tragic events and focuses on the region’s socio-economic well-being and its integration into Russia. The celebration of the anniversary of Ingush statehood is embedded within the logic of the nationwide narrative and is reinforced through the organization ...

The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the pragmatics of the induced evaluativeness in the context of the initially nonevaluative event verb ‘sovershit’sya’ in comparison with the previously considered quasi-synonymous lexeme ‘svershit’sya’. The author's methodology of complex (contentive and quantitative) corpus-discourse analysis is used. The source of language material ...
German youth slang as a reflection of modern reality
... today’s German youth slang, particularly, those identified as the most popular by surveys of the German publishing company Langenscheidt. I consider the main periods in the formation of German youth slang in the 20th/21st centuries and review the events that affected its formation. I provide evidence that there is a link between events taking place in the lives of young people and in their country, on the one hand, and neologisms that emerge in youth slang, on the other. I list slang words and ...
Cancel culture: cognitive mechanisms of meaning transmission in media discourse
... underlying the construction, interpretation, and stabilisation of meaning within cancel culture narratives. These include conceptual framing, which structures discourse through binary oppositions and evaluative schemata; scripts, representing the recurrent event “violation — exposure — punishment”; emotional construal, in which affective responses such as anger, indignation, solidarity, and moral satisfaction act as cognitive catalysts enhancing entrenchment; and multimodal integration, which ...
“Old hell transformed into a new purgatory”: the disturbing historical experience in the novel “The Haunted Hotel” by Wilkie Collins
... representation. As a result of the analysis, the veiled historical content of the story was explicated, thanks to which it can be considered as a specific representation of historical reality, close to oneiric representation: historical characters and events in it undergo a process of symbolization reminiscent of dream work, according to Freud, and the historical itself is reduced to the “family”. Although such a reduction excludes history as such, it provides great opportunities for representing ...
Military rule in Sudan: historical preconditions and the current situation

This study aims to examine the historical prerequisites and conditions that led Sudan into civil war and a humanitarian ...
An onomasticon-based quantitative method for identifying of storylines in a literary work

Primarily, the plotline of Yeshua and Pilate in Yershalaim was separated from the events in Moscow. The Moscow events were divided into three subplots: the story of the MASSOLIT members and their relationship with the Master, the Moscow Variety Theater and its employees, and Margarita’s story. The story of Woland and his retinue ...
Simultaneous interpreter in multimodal dimension: the role of gestures in moments of non-interpretation

Representational gestures connect the first two frames of reference via the representational ...
Conceptual structure of the binary axiological opposition truth — lie
Axiological categories and the concepts they consist of have always been a major area of interest in science. The development of cognitive linguistics has opened new perspectives for the study of axiological events, categories and concepts within them. This article explores the structure of the axiological binary opposition truth-lie, based on the material of the English language. In English, the verbalised concept truth encodes information about both objective ...

You, you, you: second-person narrative in the “Invisible” by Paul Auster (2010)
... researchers from diverse branches of postclassical narratology: natural and unnatural, transmedia, exploring interactive and digital narratives. ‘Second-person narrative becomes a transitional form between traditional narratives (telling about events that have already happened) and "future narratives". In this article, ‘second-person narrative’ is researched using the example of Paul Auster's novel "Invisible" (2010). In its functioning, we study both the properties ...
Literary scandal in cubo-futurism poetics and the communicative behaviour of recipients
... orientations underlying those profiles. Drawing on the understanding of a literary scandal suggested by Reitblat, we trace a connection between a scandal and the public (recipients). According to Warner, the public are people actively participating in an event. Participatory strategies of the cubo-futurists public could be narrowed down to three types of reception: a sceptic, a critic, and a potential ally. Using the speech act theory (Austin, Derrida) and the actor-network theory (Callon’s opposition ...
Ambiguity matters in linguistics and translation
... Intended ambiguity occurs when the speaker intentionally does not follow the logic of conceptual clues (primes) and opts for a set of communicative strategies and linguistic means, which allow him/her to offer several possible interpretations of one event or even refer to several different events. I explore a rarely analyzed event-referential ambiguity, which requires additional conceptual information for disambiguation and, consequently, may pose a problem for translation. I argue that problems ...
The Name of Prophet Abraham in the Old Russian Literature of XI—XIII centuries
... Pechersky, the Ostromir’s Gospel, the Words and Instructions of Cyril of Turov, the Tale of Boris and Gleb and some others. The author distinguishes free and formulaic references to the prophet’s name. An example of free reference is a comparison of the events of the recent past with an episode from Abraham’s life. Examples of formulaic references include cases like "Abraham bosom", "children of Abraham", where Abraham not only appears as a forefather of the sacred people, but also ...
