This article is the study of the Chinese characters through the semiotic weakening law. The hieroglyphic sign shapes the Chinese linguistic and cultural domain following the unique algorithm to code information. However, the linear principle of the Indo-European semiotics can hardly be applied to the Chinese semiotics with the hieroglyph sign at its heart. This makes the problem of the research obvious, that is to study cognitive processes that underlie the formation of the Chinese characters. The...

This paper investigates the semantic adaptation of new borrowings in Russian, addressing a gap in research on this topic. The relevance of the study stems from the ambiguous and often negative public perception of the increasing number of borrowings in the Russian language. The study aims to classify these borrowings and identify the under­lying causes of the borrowing process. The central hypothesis is that the semantic adaptation of borrowings is determined by the types of cognitive categorization...

The formation and operation of the global information environment, along with the increased speed of information dissemination driven by advances in information technologies, present a significant challenge to modern society. This acceleration leads to excessive cognitive load, which diminishes the ability to critically evaluate and analyse received information. This article explores the conceptual processes that underpin manipulative influences within media discourse. Through a conceptual analysis...

It also addresses the interplay between language and politics under conditions of global international tensions. The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the verbalization of communicative strategies within the foreign policy discourse of the President of the Russian...

... excludes a neutral attitude of the individual to the situation that has become the reason for understanding their "I". Being a tool of self-knowledge, the analyzed questions are an indicator of a person's fixation on their own social and personal identity and reflect chan­ges in psychology against the background of socio-economic processes that transform tradi­tio­nal forms of interaction in society. Based on the data of the National Russian Corpus, it is shown that changes in the perception ...

This study explores the organization of multimodal systems, mediated by two types of hierarchical regulations: systemic regulations governing each mode (speech and gesture) and multimodal regulations operationalizing mode alignment. To identify these regulations, we examine the variability of the multimodal speech-gesture system, modulated by the cognitive factor of vague reference in expository dialogue. The data were collected in an experiment involving native Russian speakers explaining the differences...

The article attempts to reconstruct the genesis of the concept of the ‘new Soviet man’ within the framework of communist ideology. An interdisciplinary research perspective enables an analysis of the development of the concept of the ‘Soviet man’ at the intersection of linguistics and history, viewed through the lens of the literary texts by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. As a result, the literary text is examined as a semiotic model of communication, in which the sender and the recipient of the text...

... utilitarian means of payment, it is capable of implementing many functions, and its pragmatics are directly related to the representation and transmission of cultural and ideological meanings, which makes the stamp an important means of forming cultural identity. Collectable practices make stamps semiotic artefacts that lose their utilitarian meaning and acquire new cultural connotations. The analysis of the series of postage stamps dedicated to the anniversaries of Alexander Pushkin, proposed in the ...

The paper discusses the latest results of the study of pragmalinguistic and proper linguistic mechanisms for expressing implicit evaluativeness of words and expressions of the Russian language in their discursive implementation. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the pragmatics of the induced evaluativeness in the context of the initially nonevaluative event verb ‘sovershit’sya’ in comparison with the previously considered quasi-synonymous lexeme ‘svershit’sya’. The author's...

The article highlights the features of self-presentation of the subject of retrospective mental and cognitive activity recorded in the texts of memoirs of German-speaking writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The texts of fiction, which are fictional memories of the narrator and the main character of the narrative in one person, were also used as linguistic material. The novelty of the research is determined by the linguocognitive approach to the problem of interaction of the writer’s / hero’s...

The study follows the tenets of cognitive multimodal pragmatics, focusing on some specific features of intersubjective positioning with gestures in Russian dialogic speech. It is hypothesized that gestures with recurring formal features (type and direction of movement, palm configuration, etc.) exhibit certain regularities when used with pragmatic markers of intersubjective positioning, such as agreement and disagreement, viewpoint blending, reference to the subject of positioning, opposition of...

The article is devoted to connectives, i. e., functional words and constructions whose primary function is to express semantic relations between units of discourse. It aims to explore the pragmatic dimension of connectives, which remains largely underappreciated in linguistic pragmatics to date. Given that the concept of pragmatics has at least two distinct interpretations in linguistic research—here termed the epistemological (pragmatics as shared knowledge activated in discourse production and...

... specific segments of this cultural code that have become integral to it as a result of conceptual transformation viewed through a semiotic lens. The relevance of the research stems from the growing attention to the role of visual culture in shaping the identity of contemporary urban residents, as well as from the need to develop analytical tools for interpreting such complex semiotic systems as urban sculpture. The study aims to identify the mechanisms of encoding and cognitive re-decoding of cultural ...

The article deals with occasional derivatives ‘moskvanutyj’ and ‘piternutyj’, ‘peterburg­nu­tyj’ formed according to the model of past passive participles with resultative meaning. The aim of the analysis is to identify the stereotypes reflected in the lexical meanings of the neo­lo­gisms associated with toponyms — Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The study is based on the data of the natural corpora of the Internet, such as Yandex and Google, and the results of a sur­vey. To obtain more objective data...

The article provides a comparative description of different types of metaphors based on an analysis of the prose of Hrant Matevosyan (1935—2002), a classic of Armenian literature. To analyze the specific type of societal relations reproduced by Matevosyan in his Tsmakut Cycle, the article uses the model of ‘mix of mores (Sittlichkeit), which refers to the spontaneous movement of morals considered from an ontological point of view. In the hopeless struggle to preserve this syncretic environment of...

... research methods include critical discourse analysis, visual observation, and surveying. Their combined application made it possible to describe the external design of third places as a combination of verbal and nonverbal signs that construct the local identity of the space and to reveal how this visually transmitted information is perceived by audiences. The study identified the influence of both the contemporary urban context and the historical background on the visual perception of third places and ...

The article analyzes the social factors that influence the content of tour narratives. Based on interviews with tour guides from Kaliningrad, the study identifies the main social requirements of guiding practice and the corresponding constraints these impose on narration. Among the key social regulators of tour narratives, the article highlights the process of socialization, the social context of the excursion itself, where group dynamics come into play, as well as institutional control. The study...

The article presents the results of a study on the cultural code of the city, using Saint Petersburg as a case study. The author conceptualizes the city as a symbolic space saturated with meanings that can be encoded and decoded. 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 city and determining how the city is perceived by its residents. The cultural code reflects...

The article continues research on the internal organization of the corpus of prayers by the well-known statesman and writer of the first half of the 17th century, Prince Simeon Shakhovsky. The structure and thematic organization of this corpus of Shakhovsky’s eu­chological compositions are identified based on a study of the tradition of private prayer rules (the so-called bedtime prayers) of the early 17th century. It is established that three clearly distinguished groups of prayers in this corpus...

A special layer of proper names within the onomastic space of the modern city — ergo­nyms, which are used to name various commercial enterprises — is examined. Based on a large empirical material of Smolensk and Moscow ergonyms, a complex of diverse functions of ergonyms is identified, allowing their significance within the structure of the onomastic pe­riphery to be determined. Particular attention is paid to precedent cultural signs in the names of urban objects. It is demonstrated that it is precisely...

The study is aimed at describing and interpreting smell as a sign of “one’s own” and “the other” in the context of war. The material for analysis consists of text fragments in Rus­sian and German that contain references to olfactory processes; the factual material was ex­tracted from works of fiction devoted to the events of the two world wars. The research vector was built taking into account that the semantic and symbolic connotations of smells are close­ly connected with the sociocultural context...

The features of the functioning of the formant -ing in modern English are examined from a synchronic-diachronic perspective, with a focus on the adaptation of the suffix to new nomi­native tasks in the context of the digital era. Within the framework of the onomasiological approach, the cognitive and structural mechanisms of neologism formation are described, based on the expansion of traditional verbal derivation through the use of appellative and proper nouns as motivating bases. The replenishment...

The idiolect, idiostyle of a literary work, and the subjective aspect of a speech activity product are considered as objects of translation into a foreign language. The study raises the question of a strategy for analyzing the linguistic means of a literary text that would allow for the most complete reconstruction of the fictional world in the imagination of the foreign-language reader. The aim of the research is to study the influence of the interpretation of the idiostylistic aspect of a literary...

The concepts of “informative code” and “linguocognitive connectors” are examined in the context of their functioning within the discursive format of sociocultural knowledge. The research material is a card index of linguocognitive connectors identified in the architectonics of Queen Elizabeth II’s 2021 Christmas speech, by means of linguistic analysis, interpretative analysis, and sociocultural modeling. It is concluded that the dominant linguistic nominators of linguocognitive connectors are point-like...

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...
