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 ...

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....

The main indicators of subjective modality include modal vocabulary, represented by specific verbs,...
Grammatical features of the explication of the causation in different linguocultures
Causation is one of the fundamental conditions of existence. The cause-and-effect relationships between elements of reality, which possess universal significance, are reflected differently across linguocultures and manifest at various levels of language.

The results of the Welch’s independent samples test showed that students involved in self-governance more frequently apply cognitive self-regulation strategies, as well as metacognitive strategies (planning, monitoring, and reflection). However, their agency is lower compared to those not involved in self-governance. No statistically significant differences were found based on the type of self-governance. Girls more actively use cognitive strategies than boys, but no differences ...

The study 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 ...
Communicative move “indirect insult” in a political talk show (based on Tucker Carlson Tonight)
The relevance of this research topic is determined by the growing interest of linguists in studying the means of verbalizing speech aggression in the discourse of politicians and political commentators. This interest is reflected in the analysis of the repertoire of speech strategies employed, implemented through specific tactics and represented by particular speech moves and linguistic means. The study analyzes the speech move “indirect insult,” which actualizes ...

Immanuel Kant is most frequently associated with the regional past, while figures from national history whose names are reflected in local toponymy or connected to the formation of the region are much less so.

The intense partisan political struggle during the 1980 presidential campaign reflected a deep division within the country and was largely connected to shifts in American voter sentiment. There is a need for a deeper and more objective analysis of that period to understand the processes occurring within American society that led ...

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.

It is argued that the basis of the description of Königsberg in Bolotov's memoirs is a detailed mapping of the city, interwoven with a feeling of surprise, which results in an emotional discovery of the unfamiliar space.

However, the lack of consistency in intra-lingual and inter-lingual translation of new terms may complicate the understanding of this terminology by representatives of multilingual ...

The authors conclude that on the level of vocabulary and grammar, reduplication creates dynamism in the verbal space of the text, activates its interpretation and thus creates the situation of gnoseological doubt in the adequacy of language ...

The methodological approach is based on Valentin Nepomnyashchiy’s concept of the poetic momentum of Pushkin’s literary work, which is always in the stress field between the Christmas and Easter meta-codes. This field ...
Pushkin as a personal myth of the Russian avantgarde

The treatment of Pushkin by the avant-garde is considered as a peculiar variant of cultural apophaticism when the object of reflection is asserted through its consistent negation. The factography of the Russian avant-garde proves that, from its earliest stages the creative system has been constructing its own Pushkin myth, within which the poet has the role of both an object ...
On the Pushkin text in the poetry of Perestroika

The donor text is an interlinear gloss for the recipient text. The implicit ‘alien’ and the explicit ‘own’ words merge into a single text. Perestroika poets inherit from Pushkin ...

The mutual similarity of meanings and structures in a literary text
This paper discusses a discourse grounding strategy 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...
