The image of Ekaterinoslav as an unrealized potentiality in Russian travelogues of the late 18th — 19th centuries
... semiotic—imagological framework. The representation of Ekaterinoslav is shown to be constructed primarily through the opposition between ‘the space of a glorious past’ and ‘the space of an inglorious present’. Correspondingly, the motif of unrealized potential is a defining feature of the city’s image. The moment of the city’s foundation — its space of historical memory — is associated with motifs of grandeur, scale, and ambition, and linked to figures of the imperial personosphere, including ...

Five linguistic tactics used to implement this strategy are identified and analyzed, namely evasion of an answer, question substitution, speculation, generalization, and clarification.

By considering them as orthogonal axes within a fan matrix, one can identify 25 possible approaches for studying speech, including those that are currently employed and potential ones. Within this framework, philological linguistics, as discussed by Zimmerling, finds its place, and the transitions of scholars like Witzany from biohermeneutics to biopragmalinguistics and Ongstad's shift from philology become more comprehensible....

Such extensions and perspectives realize the potential of semiotics as an effective conceptual platform of interdisciplinarity and convergence of scientific disciplines in understanding the ongoing transformations and responsible socio-cultural engineering.

Semiotic and discursive analyses allow identifying lexical, syntactic, and semantic elements of the structural and functional performativity of Jirgl’s texts. His prose exploits the enormous poetic potential of the alphanumeric code, the aesthetics of narrative simultaneity and hypertextuality, and the fragmentedness of the agent. The principle of aberrant text production helps the author stage the process of sense formation and brings to the ...
Typographic landscape in urban space: a sociolinguistic approach
This paper suggests a sociolinguistic approach to typographic landscape analysis. Typography is discussed as a semiotic resource with meaning-making potential. The paper argues that typographic variation provides dynamic indexical links to social practice. It obtains its ‘social voice’ and becomes an integral part of the social context in which it is perceived as typical and able to generate particular ...

On the grammatical level, reduplication creates tension between repeated grammar patterns and their lexical realisations, which allows Vvedensky to demonstrate the potential extensibility of syntactic models and make grammatical semantics a compensatory mechanism that fills the semantic void of the poetic utterance. Vvedensky's thematization of reduplication as the "doubling of the world" is a mirror,...

For Rawls, the citizens of the Kantian Reich can be reduced to one, a representative of all, who deliberates behind the veil of ignorance using minimax reasoning. Scanlon includes other lawmakers, but any potential diversity among them is overridden by transhistorical canons of reason. By contrast, I view morality as developing historically through the interactions among people with different views and conflicting aims. The task of moral theory is to ...

Accordingly, Hessen defines society as the sphere of communication among a multitude of ...
