Events and narration in socio-cultural practices

As a result of this interaction, stable links ‘events-narratives’ appear; they influence the formation and transformation of social and cultural processes in society. Event-narrative links form the basis of the system of norms ...
Cognitive and linguistic aspects of forming of event-driven concepts
... event-driven concept is analyzed in the dynamic process of its tructuring in a recipient's consciousness; the functional semantico-syntactical frame of event-driven concepts with various categorial functional relations between the participants of corresponding events is shown and the linguodidactic aspect of the use of even-driven concept derivation theory for concepts of event-driven nature is demonstrated.

The rhetoric and logic of the representations of the Russian-Turkish War of 1877–1878 in Russian public discourse
... the first major foreign policy challenges for the Russian Empire in the entirely new public sphere situation. The military reform of 1784, which replaced recruitment with conscription, translated in the involvement of the general public in the current events. The new public sphere, which had been developing from the 1850s, required new languages both to describe and to transform reality, as well as to produce a collective action. The tremendous public excitement, which spread across the most diverse ...
German youth slang as a reflection of modern reality
... today’s German youth slang, particularly, those identified as the most popular by surveys of the German publishing company Langenscheidt. I consider the main periods in the formation of German youth slang in the 20th/21st centuries and review the events that affected its formation. I provide evidence that there is a link between events taking place in the lives of young people and in their country, on the one hand, and neologisms that emerge in youth slang, on the other. I list slang words and ...

You, you, you: second-person narrative in the “Invisible” by Paul Auster (2010)
... researchers from diverse branches of postclassical narratology: natural and unnatural, transmedia, exploring interactive and digital narratives. ‘Second-person narrative becomes a transitional form between traditional narratives (telling about events that have already happened) and "future narratives". In this article, ‘second-person narrative’ is researched using the example of Paul Auster's novel "Invisible" (2010). In its functioning, we study both the properties ...
An onomasticon-based quantitative method for identifying of storylines in a literary work

Primarily, the plotline of Yeshua and Pilate in Yershalaim was separated from the events in Moscow. The Moscow events were divided into three subplots: the story of the MASSOLIT members and their relationship with the Master, the Moscow Variety Theater and its employees, and Margarita’s story. The story of Woland and his retinue ...

The linguistic representation of subjective time in Florian Illies’s novel Generation Golf zwei
... economic situation in Germany. I conclude that, in the novel, subjective time is usully expressed linguistically by not only traditional temporal markers bus also various textual modifications of the ‘TIME – RESOURCE’ metaphor and the ‘TIME – EVENT’ metonymy. An important landmark in the life of the generation was September 11, 2001, the day of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre in New York. That day heralded a transition of German society from spiritual hibernation to a new ...

The article reveals the specificity of the speech representation of the author’s category in the texts of contemporary Serbian publicists, devoted to the most acute and topical events in the life of Serbia’s domestic policy, in particular to the events of the election race and the results of the presidential elections in 2017. Particular attention is drawn to the ways of representing this category through the aggression ...

Climate variability in the dynamics of seasonal development of plants in the South-East Baltic
This article follows the dynamics of the hydrothermal climate indicators in the Kaliningrad region over a 30-year period. The authors examine the variability of plants indicating phonological events in the regions. Changes in the blossom period of such plants in spring 2012 are compared to the data of 1893 (based on Der Frühlingseinzug report by the Prussian botanical society, 1893). Finally, conclusions are made regarding the impact of climate ...
Simultaneous interpreter in multimodal dimension: the role of gestures in moments of non-interpretation

Representational gestures connect the first two frames of reference via the representational ...
Conceptual structure of the binary axiological opposition truth — lie
Axiological categories and the concepts they consist of have always been a major area of interest in science. The development of cognitive linguistics has opened new perspectives for the study of axiological events, categories and concepts within them. This article explores the structure of the axiological binary opposition truth-lie, based on the material of the English language. In English, the verbalised concept truth encodes information about both objective ...
Literary scandal in cubo-futurism poetics and the communicative behaviour of recipients
... orientations underlying those profiles. Drawing on the understanding of a literary scandal suggested by Reitblat, we trace a connection between a scandal and the public (recipients). According to Warner, the public are people actively participating in an event. Participatory strategies of the cubo-futurists public could be narrowed down to three types of reception: a sceptic, a critic, and a potential ally. Using the speech act theory (Austin, Derrida) and the actor-network theory (Callon’s opposition ...
Ambiguity matters in linguistics and translation
... Intended ambiguity occurs when the speaker intentionally does not follow the logic of conceptual clues (primes) and opts for a set of communicative strategies and linguistic means, which allow him/her to offer several possible interpretations of one event or even refer to several different events. I explore a rarely analyzed event-referential ambiguity, which requires additional conceptual information for disambiguation and, consequently, may pose a problem for translation. I argue that problems ...
The Name of Prophet Abraham in the Old Russian Literature of XI—XIII centuries
... Pechersky, the Ostromir’s Gospel, the Words and Instructions of Cyril of Turov, the Tale of Boris and Gleb and some others. The author distinguishes free and formulaic references to the prophet’s name. An example of free reference is a comparison of the events of the recent past with an episode from Abraham’s life. Examples of formulaic references include cases like "Abraham bosom", "children of Abraham", where Abraham not only appears as a forefather of the sacred people, but also ...
Historical memory in the age of globalization: the case of Russian- Estonian relations
... arguments: they claim that the history of globalization in international relations stretches back to the 19th century, thus globalization is an irreversible process. On the other hand, globalization attaches international significance to historical events that were earlier considered as being of local importance. The author proves the latter statement through comparing Russian and Estonian discourses on the relationship between the events which took place in Tallinn in September 1944 and April 2007....

“Interrupted Flight” by V. Vysotsky: to the question of the title
The canonical title of the song “Prervannyi polet” (“Interrupted Flight”) is not clearly established in Vysotsky’s handwritten or audio archives. This raises the question of the existence of alternative titles in the song’s textual history, their origins and textual status, the source of the title “Prervannyi polet”, and the reasons for its eventual textual consolidation. The creative history of the text is traced based on surviving manuscripts, authorized typescripts, and materials from audio...
The current EU sanctions policy: political and legal analysis of the main regulatory documents
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 ...
