... the Tarot, and religious symbolism. Sixteen illustrations help understand Chicherin's logic behind the creation of his four 'construemes', including the most mysterious composition called 'Raman' ('the shortest Kan-Fun Novel in the world'). The structure of this text synthesises the verbal, visual-graphic, acoustic (phonological symbols) and musical (notes) levels. The article also examines Chicherin's proven techniques: the appropriation of the sacred dimension and self-presentation as an actor ...
The alien and (or) one’s own: modern hidden calques (based on the collocation Kak po Mne [as for me])
This article addresses the problem of identifying hidden borrowings in the Russian language of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The authors pay particular attention to expressions that convey meanings whose semiotic 'form' utilises linguistic elements pre-existing in the recipient language. The mechanism of embedding a semantic calque into an already existing model of signification is illustrated using the example of the collocation kak po mne and its interaction with the original Russian...

The origins of metric typology: from ‘metrotonics’ to ‘tactometrics’
One of the first Russian-language works aimed at creating a general theory of verse was Mikhail Malishevskii’s short book “Metrotonics” (1925), which offered a common theoretical frame for the whole structure of metrics. Later, some of Malishevskii’s ideas were developed by Aleksei Kviatkovskii, who proposed a unified treatment of classical and non-classical verse. Theoretics of the ‘Russian method’ in the theory of verse considered these theories ...

These contradictions materialize as stylistic units at various levels and can be employed as a tool to create the desired effect in artistic narrative. Linguistically,...

This article is devoted to the problem of the possibility of experience in transcendental idealism. In its classical formulation by Kant, the problem pertains to the correlation between a priori structures of reason and reality.

In addition, Gretch’s representation of the Bavarian space reveals its connection with four modes of describing Germany in Russian literature of the 19th century: sentimentalist, romanticist, neutral-factual and travesty world-images.

Сognitive mechanisms of semantic adaptation of borrowings in Russian

Two types of categorization are described: logical categorization and non-logical categorization. Logical categorization involves the rational structuring of phenomena within a native speaker’s worldview, while non-logical categorization reflects an emotional-evaluative perception of reality, expressing various emotions through borrowings. The research draws on several sources, including the ...

The findings suggest that English emails are more focused on mitigating refusal and its negative effect on the addressee’s feelings, thereby saving face, compared with the Russian ones. This can be observed in the structure of refusal, its supporting moves and politeness strategies. The results confirm that politeness is not only a social, but also a psychological phenomenon based on empathy and tact. Emotive politeness, its manifestations and relevance may ...

The role of the canonic genre of the idyll in high Biedermeier: formulating the problem
The article examines high Biedermeier in its rapprochement with the idyll genre based on the poetry of Annette Droste-Hülshoff and Eduard Mörike. The idyll is very influential and active in both poets. Biedermeier, which was considered an era, a trend, a style, in its variety, ‘high Biedermeier’ at the start can be interpreted in a fundamentally new way — as an unusual turn in the fate of the idyll genre and the idyllic mode. The purpose of the article is to study the idyll as one of the sources...

The dynamics of the ‘philatelic plot’ building around the anniversaries of Pushkin's work shows that, being a ‘strong sign’ immersed in the structure of everyday practices as a means of mass influence, the postage stamp is a powerful socio-semiotic resource that has a direct impact on the formation, transmission and representation of cultural meanings and values. The study demonstrates that ...

Semiosis can thus be viewed as an ongoing, personalized interaction of structural semiotic entities (quasi-minds). The latest findings in molecular genetics and their implications in biosemiotics shed light on a unique aspect of interpretation: it can occur without an external interpreter owing to its mechanism of self-organization....
