Connectives — full-time employees in discourse and outsourcers in pragmatics .
... and constructions whose primary function is to express semantic relations between units of discourse. It aims to explore the pragmatic dimension of connectives, which remains largely underappreciated in linguistic pragmatics to date. Given that the concept of pragmatics has at least two distinct interpretations in linguistic research—here termed the epistemological (pragmatics as shared knowledge activated in discourse production and comprehension) and the semiotic (pragmatics as information about ...
Pragmatic obligatoriness revisited
... occasionally appear in translation even when no direct stimulus is present in the source text. Special attention is given to the use of proper names and the act of telling jokes. The article explores the pragmatic principle governingproper names through the concept of the mental dossier, arguing that the introduction of a name should be accompanied by a description of its referent. In fictional texts, violation of this principle may produce specific artistic effects. The article also differentiates between ...
Kaliningrad text through the eyes of a flaneur (Königsberg con text in the text of Kaliningrad)
This paper attempts to conceptualize the city as both text and context—an interpretive construct jointly produced by the urban environment and its inhabitants in their search for self-understanding within a specific place and time. Using the example of the phenomenon of the ‘Petersburg text’ and the emerging ‘Königsberg-Kaliningrad text’, it is shown that these texts play the role of a reflexive form-mirror in culture, helping the city comprehend itself. Using the example of Brodsky’s poetics, the...
Towards a dictionary of urban untranslatables
... historical and social contexts. Focusing on phenomena such as Russian ‘ЖКХ-арт’ (municipal utility art), French ‘flânerie’, Indian ‘jugaad’, Spanish ‘tertúlia’, and Argentine ‘merendero’, the authors demonstrate that these concepts resist translation due to their embeddedness in local collective memory and everyday practices. The central thesis is that urban texts are fundamentally ‘untranslatable’ because of their multimodal nature (combining verbal, visual, ...
Visual language of the city: a case study of the visual perception of third places (the case of Nizhny Novgorod)
The article is devoted to the study of the pragmatic aspects of visual communication in the modern urban environment. The physical objects of the city are interpreted as a text aimed at transmitting specific information to its residents. The research focuses both on the processes of meaning-making—based on the interaction of various semiotic resources such as colour, imagery, graphic design, texture, and verbal signs—and on the reception and decoding of this mosaic of visually perceived signs by...
The cultural code of Saint Petersburg: the city in the perception of its residents
The article presents the results of a study on the cultural code of the city, using Saint Petersburg as a case study. The author conceptualizes the city as a symbolic space saturated with meanings that can be encoded and decoded. Accordingly, the study employs the category of the ‘cultural code’ as a relatively stable system for organizing cultural meanings mentally rooted in the collective representations of the city and determining how the city is perceived by its residents. The cultural code reflects...
Evaluative language in analytical reviews of the foreign exchange market: a comparative perspective from U.S. and U.K. media
... IFCMarkets). The genre of the analytical review and two methods of data processing — fundamental and technical — are characterized. Approaches to the interpretation of the category of evaluation and the classification of its types are considered. The concept of speech influence is defined, and the means of its implementation are listed.

English language in the context of diglossia in the modern world
The article examines the transformation of the concept of diglossia from the moment of its introduction by C. Ferguson to denote a stable language situation to the comprehension of the phenomenon of polyglossia, which is characteristic of many countries in the modern world. It is noted that code-switching ...
The role of Jean Chapelain in the development of French literary theory and criticism in the first half of the XVIIth century
... in literary creativity demanded by the time, as well as the relationship between the creator and power. Chapelain’s texts are examined in their entirety, allowing for the tracing of the development of guiding ideas and the deepening of fundamental concepts in his theorizing, such as “verisimilitude”, “taste”, “decorum”, “utility”, “morality”, “erudition”, “fashion”, “clarity”, and “novelty”, which gain semantic complexity depending on their application to different ...
Genre-composition metaphor of rhizome in the novel “Primeval and other Times” by Olga Tokarchuk
The work of Olga Tokarczuk is examined in the context of the nomadological theory of postmodernism as reflected in the writings of philosophers G. Deleuze and F. Guattari. The study investigates the concept of the “rhizome,” which in Tokarczuk’s work functions as a method of plot construction for her literary texts in general and the novel Primeval and
Other Times in particular. The metaphor of the rhizome is expressed in the novel not only ...
The sociolinguistic peculiarities of the informative code of linguocognitive connectors in Queen Elizabeth II’s 2021 Christmas speech to her subjects

Time synaesthesia in W. Shakespeare’s texts: the semantics and pragmatics of colour
The article analyzes the features of synesthetic conceptualization of time through the prism of the category of color, based on the works of W. Shakespeare. It is demonstrated that color, not being an independent entity but a quality, acquires in the space of the literary text additional metonymically conditioned meanings through its correlation with the phenomena of existence, in some cases rising to the level of value-laden symbolic co-meanings. The semantics and pragmatics of each color that...

The four loves in C.S. Lewis’s novel “Till we have faces”10.5922/vestnikpsy-2025-2-6
... Loves and in his mythological novel “Till We Have Faces”. Given the centrality of the theme of love in the novel, it is reasonable to assume that in this 1956 work, the author was already artistically reflecting on the ethical and psychological concepts he would later elaborate in the treatise, which was based on a series of radio talks broadcast by Lewis on American radio in 1958. The book “The Four Loves” was published two years later, in 1960. At the same time, the conceptualization of ...
Political discourse in Internet communications of local communities: theoretical background
The article examines the main approaches to defining and studying political discourse. It identifies the conceptual components of its analysis in the context of political relations, where discourse is regarded not only as a process of transmitting and discussing information but also as a form of power communication. Changes in the characteristics and meaning of political discourse are outlined in connection with the digitalization of interactions among political actors, including the expansion of...
Development of the military-industrial complex of Pakistan in the 21st century as an element of the national military strategy
The article examines the specific features of strategic planning in the military-industrial complex of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The aim of the study is to identify the main trends in the development of the country’s defense industry, its problems, and prospects. To provide a comprehensive analysis of the issue, content analysis of key conceptual and legal documents is applied, as well as the hypothesis of A. M. Fewolden and K. Tvetbroten regarding the effectiveness of implementing such...
The epithet complex in the prose of Marina Tsvetaeva: linguistic mechanisms of formation
... established that the mechanism of forming epithet complexes in Tsvetaeva’s prose is metaphonymy, with metaphonymic epithet complexes representing hybrid epithet structures that reflect a complex logic of attributive meaning formation. It is shown that the concept of quality serves as a central poetic dominant in the poet’s idiolect, verbalized through non-systemic epithet structures in the language, the modeling of which is one of the tasks of her poetic universe; the epithet is understood not as a device ...
Means of expression and functions of situational-discursive demonstrativeness in personal and institutional discourses
The purpose of this article is to define the concept of situational-discursive demonstrativeness and identify the linguistic means of its expression and functions. An interdisciplinary approach and the method of psycholinguistic analysis of communicants’ statements were employed in the study. ...
Russia and the Central Asian countries in the process of forming a new world order: cooperation and conflicts
... a community of five former Soviet republics that have become independent states. However, it is important to recognize that Central Asia also encompasses Afghanistan, Mongolia, and parts of India, China, and Russia, which significantly broadens the concept of the region and increases its geopolitical significance. Russia and Central Asia are historically connected; the region was once part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Today, these states are the Russian Federation’s closest neighbors,...
“Behind my back, between one corner kick and the next, they had gassed three thousand people”: football in the Auschwitz concentration camp
... between 1940 and 1945. Auschwitz was by no means the only concentration camp where football matches and even entire tournaments were held—other camps such as Buchenwald, Theresienstadt, and Gross-Rosen had their own championships. The duality of the concept of "sport" as interpreted by the camp administration is examined: for the Nazis, sport included not only competitions but also physical abuse of prisoners, which some researchers refer to as "quasi-sport." The testimonies of ...
Forensic characteristics of creation, use and distribution of malicious computer programs
Malicious software and viral phishing attacks have remained for several consecutive years among the most effective tools for infiltrating information infrastructure. In the vast majority of cases, the exploitation of malicious software is associated with gaining access to systems containing confidential information and its theft, which constitutes the least costly method for delivering and executing malicious code on a recipient’s device. Given that the increase in unlawful acts related to the creation...
Fundamentals of the theory of legal punishments (problem statement)
The system of categories in legal science requires constant reflection, clarification, and updating. Legal punishment, being one of the most significant general theoretical legal categories, remains among the least studied today. The aim of the present study is to conceptualize the most important general theoretical characteristics of punishment, including its main features, its interaction with related legal categories, and current developmental trends. The author attempts to formulate provisions...
Correlation of the principles of law: expediency in legality
... attention is given to the increasingly significant ideas of I. Kant concerning the principle of expediency. As a result of the study, the author proposes a definition of the principle of expediency as a substantive element underlying the complex systemic concept of legality. Given the polysemous nature of legality, the author critically evaluates the notion that legality can be viewed in its entirety as a form of expediency and supports the view that the principle of expediency (or reasonableness) constitutes ...
The doctrinal factor of legal communication
... insufficiently explored in Russian legal scholarship. One may also note conceptual gaps and inconsistencies in the terminology employed in studies on this subject. This article attempts to describe the functioning of doctrine in the formation of law through the concept of the “doctrinal factor of legal communication” — a notion that has not yet undergone thorough scholarly analysis within the framework of post-nonclassical legal understanding — and to provide a definition of it. The methodological foundation ...
FROM THE EDITOR
..., have been carried over into the present issue. With this release, we conclude the publication of the thematic cluster. At the same time, we plan to return to this line of research in the coming year and encourage further discussion of the proposed concepts and methodological approaches, especially given the inherently debatable nature of many contributions published over the course
of the year. The second section of this issue is devoted to a theme both central and longstanding for the journal: ...
A part outside the whole? (To Anton Zimmerling's article “Really: syntactics without semiotics?”)
... of each subject. However, the approach taken by Anton Zimmerling in this regard is subject to debate. In the discussion of semiotics, the focus tends to lean towards interpretations that recognize the dual understanding of signs, while unilateral conceptions of signs are often overlooked. Linguistics is typically confined to the study of language itself, and the treatment of linguistics concerning speech (text) is often seen as a concealed branch of philology. Moreover, it remains unclear ...

... many times, are called formulaic. The research presented in the article confirms the assumption that the stable paronymic collocations do not unite random words but a type of mythologemes — 'gorod’, ‘gora’ and ‘doroga’. They reflect the concepts of two types of cities: concentric, elevated on the mountain, and eccentric, located in the boundaries, encouraging to overcome them. The article explores the use of formulaic collocations ‘gorod — gora’, ‘gorod — doroga; ‘gorod ...

Cultural code of the city
The article explores one of the modern trends in the semiotic analysis of the city and urban environment — the study of the cultural code of the city. In the contemporary academic discourse, the importance of studying the cultural code of the city is growing not so much as a phenomenon but as a system of decoding and cognizing each specific city in its own context. This aspect is closely related to the analysis of the problem of enhancing urban identity and local patriotism, as well as identifying...

Gorod and grad in the Russian poetry of the 18th century
Urban motifs in Russian poetry have not yet become the subject of comprehensive investigation in terms of the evolution of poetic conceptualization of the world, the frequency, semantics and syntagmatics of the key lexemes — 'gorod' and 'grad'. Meanwhile, the analysis of the poetic, ethnic and linguistic picture of the world, closely connected with diachronic lexicology, phraseology and grammar, allows important conclusions concerning the history of the national semiosphere and conceptosphere based...

From Husserl, Jakobson borrowed the concept of “expression” (Ausdruck) — the sign whose self-sameness was absolute. But he departed from the German philosopher by conceiving of this semiotic identity in terms of a Saussurean “social consciousness.” And he further relativized ...

These observations have not lost their relevance and can be applied to the analysis of both avant-garde and classical texts.
