The availability of additional — as compared to a regular region — data on commodity flows in the framework of the SEZ transitional period makes it possible to identify structural disproportions in the economy. It is shown that the introduction of the SEZ transitional period did not result in a change in the conceptual model of the regional economy’s functioning merely increasing the opportunities for rent extraction....

Metatheatricality in “La Grotte” by Jean Anouilh
... creator of the embedded play, he cannot fully control it and struggles to manage his characters. This duality highlights the central theme of the play — a conflict between the author and his creation, inherently metatheatrical. The play has a complex structure, developing two main threads: one concerns the murder of a cook in a mansion in the Saint-Germain suburb, and the other follows the Author’s attempts to keep his play afloat without losing face before the audience. These threads intertwine,...
Verbal charm as a special class of performative speech acts in Russian linguoculture
The phenomenon of verbal charms in Russian linguoculture is examined through the lens of speech act theory, one of the key directions of contemporary pragmalinguistics. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for an in-depth investigation of culturally conditioned speech genres functioning within sacred discourse, as well as their role in shaping the linguistic worldview. The aim of the research is to identify the pragmatic characteristics of verbal charms as a distinct class of performative...
The concept of translation strategy viewed in the light of needstailored theory of translation: a proposal of definition and typology
The paper examines the concept of translation strategy and aims to develop a typology of its possible forms from the perspective of a needs-tailored approach to translation. It begins with a brief review of positions on translation strategy articulated by Russian and international translation scholars, demonstrating the lack of consensus in the field. The study then subjects the theory of translation strategies developed within the communicative-functional approach, conceptually close to the...
Linearity and compositionality in the semantics of binomial stable constructions
... components, to idiomatic units, in which the connection between the components and the global meaning is weak or entirely opaque. At the same time, even as compositionality decreases, a fixed linear order is often preserved. This stability of linear structure functions as a salient marker of idiomaticity and constructional fixity. In cases where phraseologization leads to a disruption of compositionality, the linear form remains invariant, thereby becoming a key cue for idiomatic recognition. A regular ...
Mechanisms of adaptation of Christian anthroponyms in Votic and Ingrian: a comparative study

Differences in the operation of adaptation mechanisms between Votic and Ingrian are shown to stem from the specific phonological and morphological structures of each language. Particular attention is devoted to processes of vocalic and consonantal adaptation, including consonant gemination, palatalization, and epenthesis. Morphological aspects of adaptation are also described, notably the use of ...

As one of the principal forms of spiritual guidance offered by the elder to his followers, the letters reflect the ascetic experience of the Holy Fathers, which in turn shapes the motif structure of St. Ambrose’s messages to individual recipients.
