The article proposes a performative model of the explanation act, which outlines the mechanism of constructing an explanation and the pragmatic conditions for its success. Taking these conditions into account, the discursive structure of explanation is examined, focusing on the principles of information unfolding and the content parameters ...

Pragmatics beyond cognition: a perspective of Charles Peirce’s unfinished conception for (bio-)semiotics
... personalized interaction of structural semiotic entities (quasi-minds). The latest findings in molecular genetics and their implications in biosemiotics shed light on a unique aspect of interpretation: it can occur without an external interpreter owing to its mechanism of self-organization. By studying communication and information processes at the biomolecular level, we can redefine pragmatics as operations intricately linked with systemic self-regulation and interaction with the environment.

Drawing on Kuzmin’s diary entries and Khlebnikov’s correspondence, it seeks to reconstruct the poets’ personal and creative relationship, clarify the dating of the young author’s letter to his mentor, and analyze the mechanisms of textual address within the poem.

The study aims to identify the mechanisms of encoding and cognitive re-decoding of cultural and historical information within sculptural works, and to determine the role of these objects in enriching the city’s cultural code and in shaping a unique sociocultural context for its inhabitants....
Neoderivatives with the suffix -ing in modern English
... English are examined from a synchronic-diachronic perspective, with a focus on the adaptation of the suffix to new nominative tasks in the context of the digital era. Within the framework of the onomasiological approach, the cognitive and structural mechanisms of neologism formation are described, based on the expansion of traditional verbal derivation through the use of appellative and proper nouns as motivating bases. The replenishment of the repertoire of derivational models of -ing word formation ...

The purpose of the study is to identify the mechanisms of representing qualitative, attributive semantics in Marina Tsvetaeva’s idiolect. To achieve this goal, the following methods were employed: descriptive, component analysis, and cognitive-semantic analysis of linguistic units. Epithet complexes ...

The study traces some shifts in emphasis within the EU’s political agenda throughout the formation and evolution of the practice of imposing unified restrictive measures against ...
The doctrinal factor of legal communication
It is a matter of scholarly consensus that legal doctrine has significantly influenced the development of law — at least within the Romano-Germanic (continental) legal tradition. However, the mechanisms through which doctrine exerts its law-shaping influence remain 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 ...

The basic references of the central image of the exterior plastics — the biblical David, as well as those narratives that are determined by these references are classified. The mechanism of localisation of universal religious narratives is shown through the distinction between text and subtext. Thus, the role of external temple decoration in constructing a sacred urban topic is determined. As a result, the possibility of interpreting ...

Poetical reduplications in Alexander Vvedensky’s fiction

Vvedensky's thematization of reduplication as the "doubling of the world" is a mirror, which deforms and transforms reality. Mirror semiosis illustrates the loss of iconicity ...

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

The former overlaps all the above-mentioned functions, but alone bears the responsibility for the form-content fusion. The paper focuses on the less evident mechanisms of the poetic function, beyond the obvious effect of tropes and figures of speech. Not unlike meiosis, its allegedly weaker ‘voice’ is capable of producing a much stronger effect, which can be discerned in rhythm and punctuation, in the ...

‘What can be described can happen too…’: describing text semantics as a model structure of transworld relationships

I consider the correlation between the mechanisms of text coherence, on the one hand, and the relationships of transworld accessibility and of the identification of described individuals across possible worlds, on the other. Probably, the variety of cohesion mechanisms does not make it possible ...

A text has a pattern nature if its basic pattern does not coincide with its textual realizations,...

These processes cause the semantic space of PD to embrace mass culture referents.
