Finally, it is interesting to note that its author describes Kant as “a nationalist in terms of personal qualities” and “a world genius in terms of his doctrine”, a doctrine whose ideas had not lost their relevance a hundred years after his death. Textological and historical-philosophical analysis has established the identity of its author. He was S. V. Vedrov, Professor of Police Law at St. Petersburg University, previously not ...

In conclusion, the author systematically presents the cognitive content of the treatise and outlines cognitive pathways that are generated by the ideas of “The False Subtlety” and connected with the study of the unfolding of syllogisms in cognitive reality.

On the question of the syllabic system of versification: the poetic practice of Theophan Prokopovich
The study is devoted to the analysis of the accentual architectonics of the isosyllabic works of Theophan Prokopovich. The primary objective of this analysis was to examine the hypothesis regarding the gradual emergence of the syllabo-tonic system within the framework of syllabic verse. This hypothesis challenges the views of numerous scholars of versification, who argue for a revolutionary shift in Russian poetic tradition, attributed to the publication of Vasily Trediakovsky's 1735 treatise. Additionally...
Hybrid genre in persuasive communication

Prerequisites for the formation of Neostructuralism as an integral linguistic paradigm

The driving force behind the development of linguistics is the competitive struggle between the ideas of anthropocentrism and systemocentrism. To explain the mechanism of paradigmatic cyclicity, the author refers to the concept of the paradigm life cycle. The article demonstrates the signs of "aging" of the current anthropocentric paradigm....
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. The research is set in the framework of linguapragmatics and its goal is to reveal the ways intentional omissions work in film synopses. This research is novel as film advertisements have not been viewed through the lens of the means aimed at creating omission of information...

What is good: to the history of evaluative adjectives in the language of the early Soviet period
The article is devoted to the semantic evolution of the evaluative adjectives ‘horoshii’ and ‘plohoi’ (‘good’ and ‘bad’) in the early Soviet language. Through the use of party documents, propaganda slogans, letters to the government and literary texts of the 1920—1930s, the article reveals how these words turned into universal markers reflecting conformity to new social and political standards. The first part of the article analyzes the role of the adjective ‘good’ as a universal rhetorical tool...
Innovative meaning-generating structures in the early formation of a literary tradition: the case of Kosta Khetagurov
... “Nystwan”, which opens his poetic collection “Iron fændyr” (“Ossetian Lyre”), shows the fundamental differences between the semantics of this word in the ethnographic era and its modern interpretation. Further on, following Buslaev‘s fundamental idea that at its initial stage literature assumes not only secular, but also spiritual social obligations, it is possible to show that the title of the poem turns out to be a semantic intensifier, necessary to strengthen the imperative mood of the verb ...
Ideology in the mailman's bags: towards the pragmatics of the postage stamp
The article explores the semiotic potential of a postage stamp as a social communication tool. Despite the fact that a postage stamp is initially a utilitarian means of payment, it is capable of implementing many functions, and its pragmatics are directly related to the representation and transmission of cultural and ideological meanings, which makes the stamp an important means of forming cultural identity. Collectable practices make stamps semiotic artefacts that lose their utilitarian meaning...

Matevosyan's creative toolkit includes various types of metaphors. The comparative analysis made it possible to identify them in the broad space between epiphany and enowning. From the general idea of epiphany, the study moves on to lyrical metaphor, and from it to existential or phenomenological metaphor, and then to epistemological metaphor. The analysis concludes with a shift toward ontological enowning, engaging the writer within the realm ...
The role of Jean Chapelain in the development of French literary theory and criticism in the first half of the XVIIth century

Chapelain’s texts are examined in their entirety, allowing for the tracing of the development of guiding ideas and the deepening of fundamental concepts in his theorizing, such as “verisimilitude”, “taste”, “decorum”, “utility”, “morality”, “erudition”, “fashion”, “clarity”, and “novelty”, which gain semantic complexity ...
Time synaesthesia in W. Shakespeare’s texts: the semantics and pragmatics of colour
... color allows for polar interpretations, being both a sign of trials and a symbol of life, strength, and energy. Yellow color serves as a sign of fading, old age, and, in a psychological aspect, sadness. Green color is 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 ...

Special attention is given to the increasingly significant ideas of I. Kant concerning the principle of expediency. 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 ...
The geopoetics of the city K.: the optics of perception

Buida associates the space of Königsberg and Kaliningrad with the idea of myth construction. Shifting from the real Kaliningrad to the imaginary Königsberg, the author fills in the semiotic incompleteness of the city as a sign. Based on the comparison of the three types of perception, it is concluded that for different ...
City as an explicant of the key concepts in Dostoevsky’s “The Adolescent
The perception of Fyodor Dostoevsky as a literary painter of St. Petersburg has become an axiom in literary criticism. However, modern researchers pay attention to the significance of other cities for the writer, which are inextricably linked both with his biography and his work. Fyodor Dostoevsky not only instantly noticed visual metaphors and historical and cultural narratives of the places where he was destined to be, but he also included presciently read city texts in his literary works. This...

On the functional definition of concepts and linguistic meanings: the embodied/grounded approach

These constructions resonate with Vygotsky’s thought that the meaning of the word changes with the different modes of thinking. In other words, the ontoconcept supports the idea of heterogeneous verbal thinking (Werner, Vygotsky, Luria, Tul’viste, and Pomanov), arguing that there are several types of verbal thinking associated with different types of human activity and the tasks solved within the framework of this activity ...

Thus, we define the isomorphism of the linguistic ...

In a dialogue with the traditions of Russian religious philosophy, and above all with Dostoevsky’s legacy, Miłosz turns to the Apocalypse, in which the most aesthetically significant the idea for him is that of restoring paradisiacal existence.

The concept “people” in A. S. Shishkov’s manifestoes in the discourse of the Patriotic War of 1812
The Patriotic War of 1812 is an event that influenced the formation of the Russian national consciousness. At that time, imperial and class identities coexisted. With the de facto ban on discussing the idea of a civil nation, Russian intellectuals focused on the cultural and linguistic components of nationalism. The aim of this study was to identify the content of the concept of ‘people’ in the manifestoes by Shishkov. These texts expressed the ...

In its new meaning, “people” was seen as the “third class”, the future civil nation, called to construct a political system based on the idea of popular sovereignty. In this sense, the Cadet ideology was revolutionary and implied a break from the Ancien régime. The “people” were not considered as some unique whole but rather as an integral part of humanity, developing together ...

The official civil status or citizenship was an integral part of the ideology of workers and “exploited” classes as opposed to “non-working, bourgeois elements”. The idea of citizenship ceased to depend on territory and nationality. As a result, a group of people was legally deprived of citizenship while permanently residing in the state. Paradoxically, in Soviet Russia citizenship was defined through its absence,...

The text in the context of the Tartu Semiotic School: problems and prospects

Firstly, the text was assumed to have a polysemiotic nature: the verbal text is encoded not by one, but by several sign systems. Secondly, there was an idea of the activity, memory, and responsibility of the text. The two major lines of research within the TMS developed accordingly. The first one focused on polysemiotic systems and mechanisms: the theory of poetic language, translation theory, and intersemiotic ...
