Competitive effects of low trade barriers: evaluations for the Kaliningrad region
International trade is an important factor affecting competition in domestic markets. Considering the vastness of Russian territory, one can expect the pro-competitive effect to vary from region to region. This analysis tests the hypothesis that the unique geographical position and economic status of the Kaliningrad region contribute to the rapid development of international trade, which, in turn, exerts competitive pressure on regional prices. The study incorporates two major ...

How can the ability of six-month-old infants to learn words, meanings, and referential categories be explained?
... These and other results indicate that infants develop the associated pairs of “name + concept” from a very early age. This clearly contradicts the generally accepted paradigm. To explain how early words appear in infants, this article introduces a hypothesis, which states the innateness of the dual structure of the referential word in infants: “the sound template of the name + the conceptual template of the meaning”, in which the name and the meaning are initially connected. As infants accrue ...
Socio-political moods of the residents of the Kaliningrad region as an indicator of the geopolitical security of the region

The hypothesis is confirmed that in the conditions of geopolitical tensions, the population's trust in local and federal authorities, the president and the army will increase. The political activity of the population, for the most part, comes down to discussing ...

Nikolay Fyodorov’s Attempt to Link Aristotelian and Kantian Natural Teleology to the Project of Nature Regulation
... sufficiently purposive. The change of perspective is accompanied by a revision of the notions of what exactly purposiveness is, as well as by calls for practical activity in the course of which nature should be the subject of some tweaking. To bolster this hypothesis I turn to the teaching of Nikolay Fyodorov, the father of Russian cosmism, who puts the emergenceof teleological thought in the context of the project of nature regulation. I focus on three of the philosopher’s assertions which show that ...

Functioning of the frame environment in various conceptual knowledge domains in the English language
This article presents the frame environment, exploring its conceptual structure by analysing how linguistic units function within immediate linguistic contexts across various conceptual knowledge domains. It is proposed to define and distinguish between the theoretical concepts of 'frame', 'cognitive context' and 'conceptual domain'. The English word 'environment' was selected to describe the manifestations of frame structure at the linguistic level. The etymology and definitions of the lexical...
Schelling’s System of Transcendental Idealism: Kantian Transcendental Ideal from the Historical Perspective of the “Odyssey of the Spirit”
... ideal. Differentiating three meanings of the term “history” in The System, I concentrate on the broadest of these meanings which describes the system as a whole and is expressed by the topos “odyssey of the spirit”. Based on Petr Rezvykh’s hypothesis on the formative significance of this teaching for the early period of Schelling’s work I interpret Schelling’s dialectics of the ideal and the real, the subjective and objective in self-consciousness as a reworking of Kant’s antithesis ...
The Problem of the Unity of Experience from the Transcendental Perspective
... beyond the epistemological problematics: 1) the homogeneity of the consciousness of external things and self-consciousness, and 2) the unity of experience created by the end-goals of the pure application of reason. In conclusion, I examine Kant’s hypothesis that the transcendental affinity of phenomena creates the homogeneity of mental acts, and that objective reality is the key and most telling prerequisite of the homogeneity of experience.

The analysis of the 21st century material draws on a sample from the Russian National Corpus, containing short stories produced in 2000—2023. A comparison between the two samples ...
Сognitive mechanisms of semantic adaptation of borrowings in Russian
... 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 employed. Two types of categorization are described: logical categorization and non-logical categorization. Logical categorization involves ...
Cognitive pragmatics as multimodal pragmatics: an analysis of intersubjective positioning in spoken dialogue
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...
Prayers of S.I. Shakhovsky: between “sleeping” and “travel” prayer rules

Particular attention is paid to stanzas absent in earlier versions but appearing in collections published after 2001. The study confirms the hypothesis about the heightened significance of the phonetic level in V. A. Sosnora’s poetic texts, the semantic function of punctuation marks, and repetition as a device structuring the composition of the poem. A comparative analysis of drafts and ...
Figures of national and regional history in the cultural memory of Kalinin-graders
Based on the analysis of the data from a mass survey of the population of the Kaliningrad region conducted in 2023, a preliminary hypothesis is proposed regarding the specifics of the regional variant of the “pantheon of heroes” — an important structural element of the cultural memory of Kaliningrad residents. Peter the Great (across all age groups), Joseph Stalin, and Catherine ...
On the functional definition of concepts and linguistic meanings: the embodied/grounded approach
The article suggests a way to overcome two well-known problems of embodied/grounded theory of cognition: the impossibility of strict differentiating modal and amodal symbols, and the difficulty in defining abstract concepts/simulators (abstract lexical meanings). The proposed functional approach is based on the dichotomy 'perceptual (external) vs. functional (internal)' that goes back to Ivan Sechenov. These cognitive units are shown to play fundamentally different roles. The function — the embodied...

He predicted the fate poetically… The book Giordano Bruno as a covert confession of Lev Karsavin
Karsavin’s book Giordano Bruno is considered in the context of its author’s biography. The article explores the hypothesis about the deep ideational and spiritual connection between Karsavin and Giordano Bruno forged by undoing the fetters of rationality through a mystical epiphany. It is shown that, in the book, Karsavin foresaw his own academic fate.
