Functioning of the frame environment in various conceptual knowledge domains in the English language

The content of frame slots aligns with the conceptual domain, whose information scope guides the selection of linguistic means while producing a verbal message. In turn, the linguistic means describing the content of the slots serve to reconstruct the frame in the process of understanding. Text analysis has shown that the frame structure does not change substantially,...

This research is novel as film advertisements have not been viewed through the lens of the means aimed at creating omission of information and their effect on the text pragmatics. The sample includes 100 film synopses for Russian films spanning 2010—2023. The analysis of the elements of their semantic structure shows that in film synopses,...

The question "Who am I? / What am I?" as a marker of identity search
The article is devoted to the questions "Who am I? What am I?", which have been actively spreading in the Russian language since the end of the 18th — beginning of the 19th century, both in poetry and prose. As a linguistic means of self-presentation and self-identification, questions are used in situations that encourage a person to reflect on their place in society and their own rank feelings. The very fact of using the rhetorical questions "Who am I? What am ...

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 ...
Time synaesthesia in W. Shakespeare’s texts: the semantics and pragmatics of colour

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 shades time in Shakespeare’s texts are determined by metonymic ...

On the less obvious manifestations of the poetic function: a translator’s view

The authors also suggest a functional approach to the notion of “poetic device”, which gives the translator more freedom in selecting expressive means without distorting the conceptual sphere of the original. An inter-semiotic view of literary devices borrowed from cinematic art proves the inimitability of the effect of the same device within the total conceptual structure of each text. ...

The mutual similarity of meanings and structures in a literary text
... that has not been described before. It is shown that the fragments of a literary text that are perceived as impressive, aphoristic, etc., tend to have a set of recurrent features. Firstly, in such fragments, there often is mutual reflectedness of meanings (it emerges in metaphors, similes, parallelisms, or juxtapositions of contradictory notions). Second, mutual reflectedness goes through pronounced detrivialization, i.e it is emphasised using special means, one of which is the ostentatious ...

In this respect, Donelaitis’s and Kant’s temporologies are similar ...
