ideological strategies are manifested both in state
initiatives and in local commercial names. Particular attention is paid to
protest movements (from 1988 to 2022), in which the street acts as a space for
the articulation of collective subjectivity. Methodologically, the work draws
on the semiotics of space, the anthropology of the city and the theory of
representation (including Lefebvre), examining how material and symbolic
practices conflict, coexist and shape ‘place’ in the ...
The space of metaphor in the space of the created locus (based on Hrant Matevosyan’s prose)
... 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 morals, subjected to the destructive attack of mobilization, Matevosyan-the-person suffered defeat as a traditionalist. But Matevosyan-the-writer, who developed non-traditional writing methods to describe the metamorphoses of the collapsing ‘mix of mores’,...
The cultural code of Saint Petersburg: the city in the perception of its residents
... and preserved in the city’s cultural memory. However, studies that examine the city’s cultural code through the analysis of residents’ perceptions—those who serve as its carriers and transmitters—and that address their mental attitudes and subjective modes of imagining the city remain relatively scarce. This article, therefore, presents the results of an empirical study of the cultural code of Saint Petersburg. The research was conducted through structured interviews with residents of Saint ...
Olfactory opposition of “one’s own — another’s” in the context of the war
... works of fiction devoted to the events of the two world wars. The research vector was built taking into account that the semantic and symbolic connotations of smells are closely connected with the sociocultural context, and olfactory experience is subjective. It is proved that the smell in the discourse of war performs two key functions – an evaluative and a boundary function; the olfactory image of "one's own" and "someone else's" is formed under the influence of extralinguistic ...
Evaluative language in analytical reviews of the foreign exchange market: a comparative perspective from U.S. and U.K. media

S. reviews, the main means of objectifying evaluation are nouns, while in British analytics they are verbs. The leading role of the individual explicit subject of evaluation in the texts of the selected genre in both countries is identified. The objects of evaluation are monetary units, currency pairs, trends in their movement, political events, and the activities of players in the foreign exchange ...

The article examines the creative path of Alexandra Petrovna Khvostova (née Kheraskova), a distinctive Russian writer of the 18th century whose work, nevertheless, has not yet become the subject of independent scholarly research. At the same time, any account of the origins of Russian women’s prose cannot be considered complete without reference to her name. Within the framework of the article, an attempt is made to classify Khvostova’s ...

The idiolect, idiostyle of a literary work, and the subjective aspect of a speech activity product are considered as objects of translation into a foreign language. The study raises the question of a strategy for analyzing the linguistic means of a literary text that would allow for the most complete reconstruction ...

The reality portrayed in the novel is, in the Buddhist sense, empty — that is, subjectively motivated. The mirror-like and simultaneously circular composition captures the protagonist’s endless journey within the cyclical movement of the illusory world of saṃsāra, while the open ending suggests the possibility of the hero’s ...
Political discourse in Internet communications of local communities: theoretical background

Based on an analysis of articles published in the English-language edition of The Ecologist, the study identifies the textual realization of the call-to-action strategy through a combination of means reflecting both objective and subjective modality. Verbs in the imperative and subjunctive moods are identified as primary markers of objective modality. The main indicators of subjective modality include modal vocabulary, represented by specific verbs, particles, words, and phrases....

The study concludes that computer-based case methods currently used for evaluating the knowledge of university students are capable of diagnosing proficiency in mathematical, linguistic, and natural science subjects, as well as decision-making skills. However, the assessment of communication skills and their operational components remains problematic, which could be addressed by using virtual voice assistants such as “Alice,” “Siri,” “Marusya,” ...
Russia and the Central Asian countries in the process of forming a new world order: cooperation and conflicts

The results of the study indicate that relations between Russia and the Central Asian countries are currently characterized by two main trends: cooperation and conflict. Most conflicts are functional in nature and are subject to political resolution. The conclusions of the study suggest that the relationship between Russia and the Central Asian countries contributes to the development of a polycentric world. Researchers focusing on this region should analyze the multi-vector ...

One may also note conceptual gaps and inconsistencies in the terminology employed in studies on this subject. This article attempts to describe the functioning of doctrine in the formation of law through the concept of the “doctrinal factor of legal communication” — a notion that has not yet undergone thorough scholarly analysis within the framework ...

The analysis of the poetic tradition of topolects makes it possible to reveal some general patterns of text functioning for the texts on de facto normalized, but not subjected to strict standardization, semi-autonomous idioms. Different modes of correlating the oral and the written in these texts come in direct connection with the practice of recitation and other forms of the auditory existence of poetry.

The authors point out such typical features of ironic evaluation as implicit character, i. e. the ability of irony to present the evaluative position of the author in a veiled form, subjectivity, which is directly dependent on the author's attitudes and ideological intentions, negative colouring of ironic evaluation and a high degree of its impact on the reader. The authors identify the basic techniques of expressing ironic assessment ...
Comparative analysis of the epistemological language in translation

Apart from linguistic expertise, the translation of philosophical texts requires a profound understading of the subject matter. Ambiguity of philosophical terms, which appears as a result of the development of a particular concept within a specific philosophical school of thought, may lead to inconsistencies in the translation decision-making. The paper aims ...

Husserl’s tripartite model of the phenomenology of time (prime perception, retention, protention) is applied to the analysis of the subject’s experience of his actions. It is demonstrated that, while our lived present is composed of the actually performed actions, our past and future are constructed by reflexive action-thoughts in the cognitive domain of language. It is emphasized ...

Between phenomenology and futurism: Roman Jakobson’s poetics before the WW 2

It deals with the poetics of Roman Jakobson formulated during his stay in Prague from 1920 to 1938 and treats this subject from an epistemological perspective outlining three incompatible scholarly/artistic trends which informed it: Husserlian Phenomenology, Saussurian linguistics and Russian Futurism. From Husserl, Jakobson borrowed the concept of “expression” ...

These oppositions emphasise the novel’s leitmotif (the metaphor of the road as a person’s life journey) and its central moral-philosophical idea and dilemma — the tragic fate of ...
The problem of meaning in Social Semiotics: deep semiotics as a conceptual extension of Social Semiotics
Semiotic systems are closely associated with social practices, within which the former record, store, and disseminate social experience. These systems affect the human consciousness to change the semantic picture of the world, behaviour, and the way one perceives reality. Almost all cultural artefacts perform the function of a sign. As a semiotic system develops special signs emerge to replace the artefacts by denoting them. Iconic signs are based upon resemblance, index signs upon a causal relationship...
Social media interfaces as a representation of cultural meanings
A problem of the growing popularity of cross-cultural social media studies is the lack of discrimination between the effects of user characteristics and those of the architecture of a virtual platform interface. This makes the detected cultural differences unreliable. A way to solve this problem is a comparative study of social media interfaces only, seeking to identify the culturally constituted meanings embedded in the design of virtual platforms. These meanings are employed in the users’ virtual...

The aims of this study are to identify similarities and differences in the use of lexemes explicating the microfield in the biblical texts and to produce a comparative analysis of modal meanings of objective-subjective and objective necessity expressed through relevant lexemes...

Anagrams in the discourse of baroque ‘tacit theology’: The case of the Königsberg poetic circle of the 17th century
... linked to the paradigm secret of baroque poetry. It is shown that the essence of this poetry is a special type of poetic mimesis reflecting the existential and ontological fracture of being, which manifests itself in the lyrical persona of the poetic subject. Anagrams of the names of 17th century Königsberg poets – Simon Dach, Robert Roberthin, and Andreas Adersbach – comprise an ironical baroque reflection of the new “tacit theology” of poetry, whose mimesis reveals the growing inadequacy ...
