The cultural code of Saint Petersburg: the city in the perception of its residents
The article presents the results of a study on the cultural code of the city, using Saint Petersburg as a case study.

Accordingly, the study employs the category of the ‘cultural code’ as a relatively stable system for organizing cultural meanings mentally rooted in the collective representations of the ...

Time synaesthesia in W. Shakespeare’s texts: the semantics and pragmatics of colour
The article analyzes the features of synesthetic conceptualization of time through the prism of the category of color, based on the works of W. Shakespeare. It is demonstrated that color, not being an independent entity but a quality, acquires in the space of the literary text additional metonymically conditioned meanings through its correlation with the phenomena of existence, in some cases rising to the level of value-laden symbolic co-meanings. The semantics and pragmatics of each color that ...

Identifying the mortal semantics of the prison topos allows for the conclusion that the prison is perceived by the protagonist and the narrator as an anti-home — “an alien, diabolical space, a place of temporary death” (Lotman). According to the conclusions, the central opposition in the story is “life — death”: the soul’s lifelessness, evident in many of the prison’s inhabitants, stands in stark contrast to Yashka’s ...

In the thematic field, it deprives the world of its self-identity since objects ...

A linguistic analysis of relevant contexts shows that all the linguistic means contribute to the semantic cohesion of the text and make a bridge to the space of classical images and the tradition of the 20th century Chinese ‘New Poetry’. Such experiments expand the capabilities of the Chinese language and construct a type of text that relies on an unconventional usage of its elements.

The paper shows how scholars conceptualise translation and how the concept of translation transforms. The differences between the above-mentioned schools relate to the way translation is perceived; ...
