... stimulus for Shakhovsky’s independent creation of a corpus of small daily petitions. The prerequisites for the creation of two unusual concluding prayers of the corpus are examined in detail. The result of the study is the substantiation of the special character of Prince S. I. Shakhovsky’s daily petitions (which can be termed “travel prayers”) and the hypothesis regarding the compositional editing of the collection of the author’s pray­ers for inclusion in his collected works. Simeon ...

... intertextual analysis, as well as the method of exhaustive sam­pling. The identified sample of literary precedent names (61 units) includes precedent biblio­nyms (titles of literary works), anchistonyms (authors’ surnames), and anthropoetonyms (names of characters). The following key functions of precedent names in Brautigan’s novel are established: ludic (realization of comic effect), poetic (enhancement of the artistic signifi­cance of the text and creation of tropic relations), characterizing (description ...

The research material includes publications by analytical agencies and business media in the United States (Bloomberg, Forbes, FXStreet) and the United Kingdom (The Economist, The Daily Mail, Reuters, IFCMarkets). The genre of the analytical review and two methods of data processing — fun­damental and technical — are characterized. Approaches to the interpretation...

The article examines the transformation of the concept of diglossia from the moment of its introduction by C. Ferguson to denote a stable language situation to the comprehension of the phenomenon of polyglossia, which is characteristic of many countries in the modern world. It is noted that code-switching between the H-variety and the L-variety may occur in any social do­main, the most significant of which are family, religion, education, and work. The basis for the analysis of diglossia is the theory...

The article presents an overview of the history of the establishment of higher medical education (from the stage of its planning to the first graduation of physicians) within the framework of a classical university — Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in the Kaliningrad Region, an exclave territory of the Russian Federation. The retrospective and analysis highlight the relevance and urgency of the problem of physician, nurse, and paramedic shortages in the Kaliningrad Region during the 2000s...

... drawing or a theatrical stage and may be characterized as oneiric, māyā-like (from the Sanskrit māyā), or samsaric. Through intertextual references, allusions to my­thology, cinema, and literature, Pelevin emphasizes the illusory nature of his characters. In “Omon Ra”, the chronotope is also depicted as conditional, existing outside of conventional systems of temporal and spatial coordinates. The reality portrayed in the novel is, in the Bud­dhist sense, empty — that is, subjectively ...

... build their New Canaan. Similarly, their dreams of an earthly paradise were contradicted by their act of cutting down the forest, which is depicted in the novel as a locus amoenus. The forest serves as a transformative space in the lives of the main characters; notably, only Hester Prynne successfully undergoes the “forest initiation.” This observation allows us to draw conclusions about the author’s true sentiment regarding the legend of the Black Man in the forest. The relevance of this research ...

The article examines the main approaches to defining and studying political discourse. It identifies the conceptual components of its analysis in the context of political relations, where discourse is regarded not only as a process of transmitting and discussing information but also as a form of power communication. Changes in the characteristics and meaning of politi­cal discourse are outlined in connection with the digitalization of interactions among political actors, including the expansion of...

The article examines the influence of the political media discourse of regional leaders on the formation of their reputational capital within a centralized political system. Using the example of the subjects of the Central Federal District, the authors analyze the relationship between the content of governors’ public speeches and their public perception. The study is based on a content analysis of materials from federal mass media and social networks, which made it possible to identify various strategies...

The Criminal Procedure Law provides an exhaustive list of investigative actions and de­fines the procedure and specific features of each of them. At the same time, in law enforcement practice, difficulties often arise, leading either to the recognition of evidence as inadmissible or to the violation of the rights of participants in criminal proceedings. In some cases, practice goes beyond theoretical explanations and constructions, forming certain patterns of actions by investigators and inquirers...

This study explores the pragmatic potential of linguistic means used to explicate the call-to-action strategy in English-language environmental discourse. The position of environmen­tal discourse within the broader discursive space is defined, and a brief overview of relevant studies is provided, with a focus on its substantive linguistic characteristics. Based on an analysis of articles published in the English-language edition of The Ecologist, the study iden­tifies the textual realization of the...

... organization of V. G. Korolenko’s story Yashka reveals that the vertical and horizontal arrangement of prison cells forms the traditional oppositions of “top — bottom” and “right — left” characteristic of Slavic mythology. A corresponding character system is constructed: the protagonist, Yakov, who disturbs everyone with his loud, persistent knocking aimed at denouncing the authorities, is contrasted with other prisoners and wardens. The goal of Yakov’s relentless spiritual struggle,...

The relevance of this research topic is determined by the growing interest of linguists in studying the means of verbalizing speech aggression in the discourse of politicians and political commentators. This interest is reflected in the analysis of the repertoire of speech strategies employed, implemented through specific tactics and represented by particular speech moves and linguistic means. The study analyzes the speech move “indirect insult,” which actualizes the tactic of insult within the speech-behavioral...

... method of psycholinguistic analysis of communicants’ statements were employed in the study. The material for analyzing the properties of situational-discursive demonstrativeness included the speech production of participants in television interviews, characters from feature films, and social media bloggers on TikTok and YouTube between 2005 and 2023. It was found that situational-discursive demonstrativeness is a communicative tonality characterized by the speaker’s self-presentation, exaggeration ...

The article analyzes the formation of a new world order that will change the entire modern system of international relations. Although its defining feature remains uncertainty, the majority of experts believe the emerging order will be polycentric, more equitable, and less stable than the current political system. At the current stage of societal development, a confrontation is unfolding between the "collective West" and the anti-colonial movement represented by organizations such as the...

The article is devoted to the analysis of the 1980 U. S. presidential election campaign. Special attention is given to the historical conditions that influenced the election outcome, against which the partisan political struggle unfolded. Each U. S. presidential campaign is characterized by its unique features and unpredictability. The final result is not always possible to determine, as numerous factors influence both the voters and the decision of the Electoral College. However, based on a comprehensive...

The system of categories in legal science requires constant reflection, clarification, and updating. Legal punishment, being one of the most significant general theoretical legal categories, remains among the least studied today. The aim of the present study is to conceptualize the most important general theoretical characteristics of punishment, including its main features, its interaction with related legal categories, and current developmental trends. The author attempts to formulate provisions...

Restrictive measures (sanctions) against third countries currently represent one of the most important instruments of the European Union’s foreign policy. By imposing sanctions, the EU responds to global challenges and events that contradict the Union’s political and humanitarian objectives and values, thereby seeking to promote peace, democracy, respect for international law and human rights, as well as to resolve ongoing and prevent emerging conflicts and crises in the international arena. This...

Special attention is given to the various types of Russian characters depicted in the author’s novels. Despite the predominance of negative portrayals of Russian military personnel and government officials, Kraszewski’s writings also contain positive depictions of ordinary Russian people, characterized by ...

The image of the city as one of the most important elements of modern post-industrial reality is an essential element in the world picture of any individual. The research aims to study the peculiarities of perception and verbal representation of the image of Kaliningrad by the students of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. The objectives of the research determined the choice of a comprehensive methodology, which included the method of unfini­shed sentences, as well as the methods of interpretation...

This article explores Reinhard Jirgl’s concept of literary writing, which uses linguistic and textual deconstruction, alphanumeric encoding, and intra- and intertextual strategies. 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...

The article is devoted to the polemic with Alexander Kravchenko regarding his thesis that the way out of the protracted crisis in linguistics is to use a systemic approach to linguistic semiosis as biological adaptation. The author argues that linguistics is not in a state of crisis but rather in a state of stagnation. Overcoming it presupposes an intensive methodological search that infinitely expands the horizons of permissible views rather than the use of a sys­tem approach that is inadequate...

The article explores one of the modern trends in the semiotic analysis of the city and urban environment — the study of the cultural code of the city. In the contemporary aca­de­mic discourse, the importance of studying the cultural code of the city is growing not so much as a phenomenon but as a system of decoding and cognizing each specific city in its own con­text. This aspect is closely related to the analysis of the problem of enhancing urban identity and local patriotism, as well as identifying...

... poetry contributes to overcoming the linearity and elitism of the poetic text, shifting the emphasis from verbal to the visual or performative component of the text, and strengthening the function of the addressee. As a result, poetry acquires an applied character. The city becomes an instrument of mediated poetic communication and can be used for the representation of the city. Arias-Misson, A., 2013. From the Cutting-Floor of the Public Poem. Tielt. Armando, 1964. Een internationale primeur. Gard ...

... non-existence by impossi­bility, the second — by occasionality. Here there are two ways of defining non-existent (fiction­al) objects — kinship and the counterpart relation, which are realized in frames that are different in their features. Nonspecific character is inherent in the kinship and counterpart relation in different ways. A special case is formed by hybrid worlds in which the real and the fictitious meet. The result of my analysis is five variants of a weakened de re reading of proper names ...

The paper describes the practice of creating poetic texts on lects that possess a problemat­ic linguistic status. The author proposes using ‘topolect’ as a universal term for such entities, which allows them to be placed in a special category of language systems that occupy an in­termediate level between the standard and the rather homogeneous territorial dialects in a kind of multilingualism that is characterized by the distribution of functions between idioms. The analysis of the poetic tradition...

... narrative plot development. The analysis shows that Nekrasov’s style is characterized by nu­merous long repetitions of functionally similar grammatical elements, taking several lines. These repetitions often set the rhythm and determine the folklore character of his poems. Аttributive chains, paired formulas, synonymization of lexemes in chains, repetitions, in­strumental case in the meaning of comparison and metamorphosis can be found in classical pre-Nakrasov poetry as well. In Nekrasov’s poems ...

The study presents the results of linguosemiotic analysis of sign correlations between the play “The Elder Son” by Vampilov and 22 theatrical performances based on it (The Interna­tional on-line Festival “The Elder Son — 55”, November, 2020). The play and its multimodal interpretations are viewed as parts of a unique communicative space. These parts may be specified as the original communicative situation and the ‘derivatives’ characterized by semi­otic creativity of their authors — the playwright...

Irony is considered as an evaluative category in literary and artistic discourse. 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 ...

... contained in the Tsvetnik, com­piled by Myandin. The study showed that the other copy is a later work of the scribe on the storyline of The Miracle, which involved the shortening of the text, the introduction of new narrative details, naming the main character, and providing a more detailed description of his appearance. The authors argue that, at a later stage of mastering the plot of the Miracle, My­andin created his own version of the events described. He employed his own vocabulary satu­rating ...

... narrative by predict­ing a clash with the French taste. Taking this warning into account, the first French transla­tors Halpérine-Kaminsky and Morice in 1888 framed the source narrative by means of selec­tive appropriation and repositioning of the characters. Being accused of mutilation, Halpéri­ne-Kaminsky reacted with the logic of good reasons. In 1906, the reader was presented with a counter-narrative: Les frères Karamazov by Bienstock and Torquet. However, their retrans­lation, too, was ...

The article explores the specifics of the paremic space of the coronavirus discourse, in which new images of typical situations related to the coronavirus pandemic are formed. The coronavirus narrative affects the use of phraseological units and paroemias, which, despite their stable structure, are subject to various modifications. The aim of this research is to de­termine the ways paroemias are modified by time-reframing, being one of the main discourse strategies. Modifications of phraseological...

The article presents material supporting the thesis about the discourse register of emo­tions in their movement from poetic communications to non-poetic ones. The subjects of the description are emotives — linguistic signs of emotions. The part of the article that deals with poetry interprets emotives in multiple aspects: in the aspect of the grammar of poetic language and in their figurative representation. Within the frames of such grammatical categories as the imperative and subjunctive moods...

The article describes the ideologeme “Russian people” and its use in the texts of fiction and documentary literature of the 19th century. The authors explored both the socio-political concept “'Russian people” and its verbalization in Russian. The research material included examples from the Russian National Corpus, which were analysed using corpus, content-analytical and cognitive methods. This research aims to identify and to characterise the con­cept “Russian people”. The authors argue that it...

The article examines the specifics of speech aggression in poetic communication. Special attention is paid to the unconventional functioning of discourse markers of aggression. The aim of the study is to analyse aggressive verbal behaviour in poetic communication and iden­tify distinctive characteristics of expressing aggression in everyday discourse. The research methodology includes methods of linguopragmatic, linguopoetic and discourse analyses. The author studies discourse markers of verbal aggression...

This article explores when and under what circumstances the words starik and starina emerged as terms of friendship in standard Russian language. These terms were often used by male characters in the prose of the Khrushchev Thaw — students, scientists, and engineers. It was initially assumed that these words had become forms of address at that time. Analysis of data from the Russian National Corpus shows that these terms of friendship ...

The article examines the specifics of the translation of postmodern philosophical termi­nology. The authors explore Russian translations of the works of the modern French postmod­ernist philosophers Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard and Jacques Derrida. Postmodernism as a philosophical movement is based on the concept of radical plurality. It is characterised by the multiplicity of dimensions and types of analysis. The authors look into the problem of choosing strategies for the translation of postmodern...

The history of the creation of Andrei T. Bolotov’s memoirs has been little studied. In par­ticular, the stages of his work on this text are not entirely clear. This article is an attempt to shed light on one aspect of this problem. Bolotov’s personal fund (No. 349) in the Archives and manuscripts section of the State Historical Museum contain a manuscript of Bolotov’s memoirs entitled “Part 2”. It differs significantly in its essential characteristics (paper, de­sign, size, composition, title, division...

This research contributes to the study of colour terms as a cognitive phenomenon. Since colour is not a universal concept and an ordinary mind does not perceive colour separately from the object, it is possible to observe the knowledge about colour, which exists in the lan­guage but does not exist in its physical sense. We hold that the given knowledge is the cause of significant difficulties arising in the translation of various colour terms, though the nature of these terms existence should not...

Reinterpretation manes that readers change their perception of the situation or carry out a ‘transformation’, that is, substitute the character or the entire situation. I identify common transformations, namely: thing → person, person → thing, person → animal, etc. Most frequent is the reciprocal transformation of men and cats.
