Numerous political differences often result in economic losses both for Latvia and Russia. Despite the fact that Latvia has been an independent state for more than 20...

Verification sentences are analysed as having a layered structure comprising two unary operators, VER and ACT, represented as VER(ACT(p)). The operator VER establishes a link to a verification event in which agent X has established the truth of p in the actual world, while ACT renders the proposition pre-verified, that is, open to verification or falsifica­tion. Standard accounts of the de re versus...

... 100th anniversary of the establishment of Ingush statehood as case studies. Employing an actor-oriented approach based on the works of M. Bernhard and J. Kubik, along with discourse analysis, the author examines how various actors shape and promote competing narratives of the past.

A corpus study and contextual semantic and comparative analysis led the authors to conclude that the collocation kak po mne is a calque of the Anglo-Americanism 'as for me / as to me', competing with another form of hidden borrowing — po mne [for me / to me]. Coexisting in the recipient language with the native expression po mne, the hidden semantic calque appears as its structural-semantic variant with an intensifier. The article ...

... tools for modeling argumentation and reasoning. Based on modern stud­ies of conditional reasoning, using the example of Onegin’s conditional reasoning from a let­ter to Tatyana, we show that there are different ways of reconstructing it, including compet­ing ones. In the spirit of Frege, we construct the concept of logical penalists - non-ideal think­ers of our “home circle”, who, due to their limited intellectual resources, are sometimes con­tent with not the best results in reasoning and ...

In understanding the latter term, the author follows the tradition laid down by Kuhn, taking into account the nuances of its transfer...
