“Behind my back, between one corner kick and the next, they had gassed three thousand people”: football in the Auschwitz concentration camp
... much evidence as possible about football matches held in the concentration camp, as well as to reconstruct the names of their participants. The study of such a topic as football in Auschwitz confirms that even under the most extreme conditions— when life stood on the brink of annihilation—there existed a drive for self-expression and the preservation of human nature. For the prisoners, football held symbolic meaning—it was not only an attempt to escape from the brutal reality but also a kind ...

Formal terms of reproach in Russian discourse
This article is concerned with the formal terms of reproach in Russian discourse and the corpus methods of their identification. Theoretically, it builds on the thesis that there are ‘true’ reproaches that can function autonomously in discourse and be adequately understood outside their context. Practically, the article describes the corpus search for formal terms of reproach. Methodologically, it abandons the synthetic outlook of pragmalinguistics, which dominates Russian linguistics, and treats...

The phenomenon of Napoleon in the German spirit of Napoleon’s age

The author emphasises ...

The multi-language coding and anagrammatic foundations of the “Venice text” in Yu. Buida’s short story “All the floating by”

The authors identify the anagrammatic foundations of the “Venice text” in the shorty story “All the floating by” from the collection The Prussian Bride. It is shown that the core of the system is the anagrammatic variation of the words Венеция / невеста и море / amor / mors. The matrimonial and funeral semantics of the night boat rides of the female character along the Pregolya is emphasised. The authors consider...

The intellectual interconnections between Königsberg and the Baltics in the 19th century

On the basis of the hypothesis about the influence of the Königsberg spirit of Enlightenment on the formation of Lindner’s and Lange’s linguistic activities, the author shows that, in the Baltics, the Enlightenment had several modifications differing in forms and objectives. It is demonstrated that...
