Conceptual foundations of manipulation
..., framing, scripting, and their numerous combinations form the basis of manipulation in modern English-language media texts. These processes are characterized by dynamism and polydomain interaction, making their identification and analysis even more complex. The dynamic nature of conceptual transfers is driven by the functioning of the experiencer's conceptual system, which continuously processes sensory data at pre-conceptual, conceptual, and category levels. Polydomain transfers enable agents of ...

The author's methodology of complex (contentive and quantitative) corpus-discourse analysis is used. The source of language material is modern domestic media discourse. The direct material of the study is the contexts extracted from the newspaper corpora of the Russian National ...
Visual language of the city: a case study of the visual perception of third places (the case of Nizhny Novgorod)
... ‘Gus v yablokakh’ and ‘Clara Zetkin’, an Asian cuisine café. The purpose of the study is to explore how the visual design of urban spaces communicates messages to city dwellers and to analyze how the cultural meanings embedded in semiotically complex texts are interpreted by their recipients. The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach situated at the intersection of visual communication, media urbanistics, and social semiotics. The key research methods include critical discourse analysis,...
Ergonyms in the structure of the onomastic space of a modern city
A special layer of proper names within the onomastic space of the modern city — ergonyms, which are used to name various commercial enterprises — is examined. Based on a large empirical material of Smolensk and Moscow ergonyms, a complex of diverse functions of ergonyms is identified, allowing their significance within the structure of the onomastic periphery to be determined. Particular attention is paid to precedent cultural signs in the names of urban objects. It is demonstrated ...

Through the analysis of specific works by Chapelain, the article traces the nature of the unfolding of his critical-theoretical discourse, reflecting the ...
Time synaesthesia in W. Shakespeare’s texts: the semantics and pragmatics of colour
... metonymically associated with the ideas of novelty, youth, and at the same time inexperience and vulnerability. Artistically reinterpreted, the metonymic parallels are generalized into metaphorical images reflecting the author’s perception of the complex diversity of existence. A conclusion is drawn that the conjugation of temporal and color semantic elements individualizes both time and color, providing each moment of Shakespeare’s text with unique singularity.

At the same time, the conceptualization of love as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon is already present in the artistic philosophy of the novel under study. This article traces the main features of the literary representation of the notions of friendship, charity, erotic love, and familial love in “Till ...

This made it possible to determine the place of the system of investigative actions within the structure of the institution of evidence. Taking into account the complexity of conducting investigative actions and the wide range of activities they encompass, it was possible to resolve the issue of their correspondence to the general characteristics of forensic examination, the operational part of which is carried ...
On the issue of constructing a taxonomy of tasks in teaching data analysis
... their limited applicability to the field of data analysis is due to its multidisciplinary and multifaceted nature. A horizontal-vertical taxonomy of educational tasks is proposed, based on three core processes: thinking, communication, and activity. The complexity of tasks is suggested as the key criterion for the vertical part of the taxonomy. Using the topic of “linear regression” as an example, typical tasks corresponding to primary and secondary processes, as well as their intersections, are ...
Russia and the Central Asian countries in the process of forming a new world order: cooperation and conflicts

The methodological foundation of the study includes theories of functional and complex conflict. These theories offer analytical tools to explore the formation and evolution of contemporary global conflicts. Additionally, methods of normative legal analysis and comparative analysis were employed. The results of the study indicate ...
Correlation of the principles of law: expediency in legality

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) ...

The increasing complexity of organization leads to the crystallization of informational and semiotic origins. Semio-poiesis, a recursive autoreference of the semiotic system, becomes a form of organization of the bioworld, where such parameters as sense and purpose ...

In Yevgeny Boratynsky's poem, the ‘twilight’ syntax with its particular complexity of organisation contributes to the archaization of the style of the philosophical elegy and brings it closer to the traditions of preaching, psalm, and spiritual ode.

The concept “people” in the modern European political thought: Hobbes, Spinoza, Pufendorf
... Thomas Hobbes, Samuel Pufendorf and Benedict Spinoza. The political thought of Europe in the 17th century demonstrates a conscious turn from the medieval scholastic tradition of thinking about people and power. Politics begins to be thought of as a complex of human actions aimed at achieving certain human goals. This, in turn, leads to the rationalisation of politics and, as a consequence, to the rejection of one of the most powerful mystical and theological abstractions of the late Middle Ages ...

Peritext of the Russian translation of William Hogarth’s Analysis of Beauty: a case study

It is not surprising that such translations are often accompanied by commentaries where the translator steps out of the shadows to justify the translational decisions. This kind of supplementary text called the “translational ...

We hold that the given knowledge is the cause of significant difficulties arising in the translation of various colour terms, though the nature of these terms existence should not be complex in its essence, being a basic phenomenon of the natural world. Moreover, certain ambiguity rises when reference points of colour do not coincide with the indirect naming of colours and shades in different languages. Different pairs of languages ...
The Book of Life in the hermeneutics of Johann Georg Hamann

In being the Book of Life, all that exists communicates with the human being as if it were the Book.

‘What can be described can happen too…’: describing text semantics as a model structure of transworld relationships
... I explore the content-related and formal aspects of describing the multidimensional semantic organization of a text, particularly, I focus on the possibility of using the apparatus of modal semantics to identify the relationship between sentential complexes. To those ends, I employ the concepts of model, model structure, and centred world. The latter is a system of functions that correlate language expressions, the language expressions of a text, states of affairs (possible worlds) described by ...

The symbolic complexes of mass culture and the semiosis of political discourse
In this article, I address the influence of modern mass culture (MC), its symbolic system, narratives, and protagonists on the political discourse. I emphasise that an analysis of the images of mass culture protagonists can give a complete picture of the society that continuously reproduces these protagonists and seeks to resemble them. Therefore, the mode of the production of effective political discourse (PD) in modern society cannot ignore either the patterns of behaviour replicated in MC or the...

The meme theory of religion and the disappearance of religious components in the modern designation of animals from the Old English bestiary are quoted as cases of reinterpreting the values of one culture in the tradition of another.

Image, eidos, figura, pattern. How words help to recognize patterns and understand their reference and sense?
... German. Links between them form a vast conceptual space associated with image recognition. The author proposes a pattern of image recognition, which is, in its simplified form, unfolding from a quantum automaton, to its "saturation" due to the complexity of image recognition procedures. The author traces a transition from the processing of external objective signals through the construal of image configurations to the assignment of senses and meaning.

On the Semiotic Model of Image
The article is devoted to the development of a fundamental semiotic model of images that is based on the categorical apparatus of Ch. S. Peirce (on the concepts of Firstness, icon, hypoicon and metaphor). The image is proposed to be defined as a complex sign (two-level hypoicon- metaphor), which has a certain “primary” sign as its sign vehicle that represents the object constituted by all the facts (cases of semiosis) that are similar to that primary sign. Three key functions of the image ...

The proliferation of the Last Judgement compositions in the Eastern Slavic area is linked to the eschatological expectations that ...
