Die Bibel als moralisches Bilderbuch? Kants ‚doktrinale Hermeneutik‘ und ihr Nutzen für die moralische Kultur des Menschen
This research aims to present a coherent analysis of so-called “doctrinal hermeneutics” by examining notable passages from Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason and the Critique of the Power of Judgment. It is first shown that doctrinal hermeneutics essentially relies on symbolic hypotyposis, which can be understood as thinking by analogy supplemented with a reference to intuition. Here, both an historical and a contemporary interpretation inform the reconstruction of what Kant understands by...

First-name address, interpersonal interaction and the public face: the case of the Russian language

‘Mother’, ‘wife’ and ‘friend’: semantics and pragmatics of an address
... and can transcend societal boundaries to enter the realm of abstraction.
The cluster model by George Lakoff, which allows for the coexistence of transfer models in secondary usage, is suggested as a tool to describe the pragmatics of addressing a person as a 'mother'. However, unlike Lakoff's works, this study applies the cluster model not to idealised cognitive models — those of birth, genetics, upbringing, and others — but a system of the usage of the word 'mother' as a term of address encompassing ...

Although 'construemes' can be easily confused with meaningless visual zaum ('the transrational'), Chicherin's actions and the very nature of his personality prevent one from interpreting 'construemes' as actionist endeavours to scandalise or a 'play on nonsense'. Analysis of the poet's treatise Kan-Fun (Moscow, 1926), which required finding the key to deciphering the 'construemes', reveals ...
The imago image of ‘flowers of evil’: from Charles Baudelaire to Joris-Karl Huysmans
This article examines the image of 'flowers of evil' as an imago image — an imaginary image of a real object. The term 'imago' was first used in this sense by Carl Jung in 1912. The work proposes a novel approach to investigating the image of 'flowers of evil'. The comparative historical, analytical and psychoanalytic methods of text examination revealed that, in his novel À rebours, Huysmans espouses Baudelaire's celebrated image, representing it primarily as a notion of something bizarre, extraordinary...

In turn, the linguistic means describing the content of the slots serve ...
Impossible ‘qui pro quo’: Fedor Dostoevsky and Zinaida Gippius (the short story “Ivan Ivanovich and the Devil”)
This paper analyses the operation of the ‘qui pro quo’ principle in Zinaida Gippius's story “Ivan Ivanovich and the Devil.” Rooted in a comedic literary device based on misunderstanding and confusion, the ‘qui pro quo principle’ was identified by Rita Kleyman as a key element in the poetics of Fedor Dostoevsky's works, particularly in his novel “The Brothers Karamazov”. Scholars have frequently noted the connection between Gippius's story and Dostoevsky’s novel. However, the presence of another...

The study shows that unexpected immortality is oppressing the person and causes attempts to escape it. In humorous discourse faith as interpreting death as intermediate stage is usually assessed negatively. Thus, either the very possibility of life after death or people’s certainty of being in heaven can be ridiculed....

Pragmatics of intentional omission in a film synopsis
This article explores film synopses that are treated as advertising texts characterized by semantic density and succinctness. They contain purposeful omission aimed to intrigue recipients and stimulate them to watch the film.

This research is novel as film advertisements have not been viewed through the lens of the means aimed at creating omission of information...

The dynamics of the ‘philatelic plot’ building around the anniversaries of Pushkin's work shows that, being a ‘strong sign’ immersed in the structure of everyday practices as a means of mass influence, the postage stamp ...

A sign is viewed as a quasi-mind, and semiotic processes are carried out by these signs, specifically through the quasi-minds that are embedded within them: a quasi-utterer and a quasi-interpreter. Semiosis can thus be viewed as an ongoing, 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 ...

Velimir Khlebnikov’s poem “Vam”: context, intertext, ekphrasis
The present study examines Velimir Khlebnikov’s early poem “Vam” (“To You”, 1909), addressed to Mikhail Kuzmin. 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. Particular attention is given to the poem’s intertextual dimensions. The first is literary,...
The space of metaphor in the space of the created locus (based on Hrant Matevosyan’s prose)
The article provides a comparative description of different types of metaphors based on an analysis of the prose of Hrant Matevosyan (1935—2002), a classic of Armenian literature. To analyze the specific type of societal relations reproduced by Matevosyan in his Tsmakut Cycle, the article uses the model of ‘mix of mores (Sittlichkeit), which refers to the spontaneous movement of morals considered from an ontological point of view. In the hopeless struggle to preserve this syncretic environment of...

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...
The Buddhist concept of “Consciousness-Only” in Victor Pelevin’s novel “Omon Ra”
... The image of the “Soviet Cosmos” in Pelevin’s novel combines at least two meanings — the near-Earth or near-lunar fragment of the universe and the Soviet world order — and also serves as a metaphor for the psychic world within which every person exists and which each individual generates. The protagonist of Omon Ra is portrayed less as a cosmonaut than as a psychonaut, discovering a psychic cosmos with a simulacral nature. The world depicted in Pelevin’s narrative is richly illusory: ...
