Levels of context: how textual analysis becomes discourse analysis: the case of Internet lifestyle media
... posited this, the purpose of the article is twofold. In a more theoretical sense, the purpose is to outline one possible model of context each 'tier' of which is potentially related to certain linguistic categories and linguistic analytical toolkits. The suggested model has five tiers of contextual variables and two dimensions cutting through the five tiers. These dimensions are discourse (in the most general sense — as one of the 'moments' of social practice) and individuals (theorized here in two ...
Kant’s appearance as an objective-objectual [gegenständlich] representation
... on the distinction between things-in-themselves and appearances. On the other hand, our method of cognition is representative in that is based on representations — subjective and objective (objectual) ones. A synthesis of the above considerations suggests that Kant’s transcendentalism rests on the [conceptual] triad — ‘[objective] object (thing-in-itself; Ding an sich) —appearance (Erscheinung) — and [mental] representation (Vorstellung)’. Kant’s transcendental philosophy is impossible ...

Mandelstam’s camp poem: an attempt at reconstruction
... brings this poem close to the experiments in ancient versification found in “Stone”. The collision of stressed syllables places these verses beyond the limits of dol’nik and taktovik. Since the number of syllables is equal in each line, it is suggested to use the term syllabometric, employed by Mikhail L. Gasparov to designate the earliest stage of ancient Greek versification. For Mandelstam, ancient metrics serves as an instrument for the conservation of time; and since time itself ...

How can the ability of six-month-old infants to learn words, meanings, and referential categories be explained?

First, by using the name template, infants isolate a specific name in an adult's phrase and form a specific word with an unknown meaning: “the specific name + the meaning template”, and then, based on the referents of this word suggested by adults, infants form its meaning, thereby obtaining a referential word, that is, “the specific name + the specific meaning”.

It is suggested that the visualization of collective historical memory regarding the unique historical experience of monarchy, including the narrative and discursive tactics and strategies of contemporary monarchists, enhances the heterogeneous nature of Germany’s ...
Peculiarities of ceramic production from the Neolithic settlements Pribrezhnoye and Ushakovo-3
... raw material sources. A significant difference in the trace element composition between the corded ware and Funnel Beaker culture ceramics was established. Moreover, it was found that most of the Funnel Beaker pottery was made from non-local clays, suggesting that a substantial portion of the ceramics may have been brought by the settlers, likely reflecting the seasonal nature of the settlements and the specific activities of the migrants. In contrast, the results of the analysis of pottery fragments ...

Semantics of the image of the bee in Valery Pereleshin’s lyrics: the book of poems On the Way
... which has a crucial role in the poetics of Pereleshin’s book of poems On the Way (1937). The study focuses on three poems where this image is central. Analysing the image of the bee in the context of literary tradition and mythological connotations suggests that the bee is metaphorically related to the persona. This image embodies Pereleshin’s vision of the poet’s role and the nature of poetic work: the spiritual endeavours of a wordsmith should be accompanied by hard work, self-sacrifice and,...

... Baltic Sea are primary production and abrasion processes in the coastal zone. From the intensively mixed coastal zone, the suspended matter is transported to the Gdańsk Deep, where benthic nepheloid layers indicate complex sedimentation conditions, suggesting that this area cannot be considered a simple carbon sink. Intermediate nepheloid layers form during the seasonal shift from oxygenated to anoxic conditions, especially when local maxima of dissolved hydrogen sulfide detach from the seabed. ...

Some Remarks about the Difference between Überzeugung and Überredung
... Furthermore, I will compare the treatment of the subject in these sources and in the textbooks used by Kant in his courses. In the conclusions, the link between this issue and Kantian arguments in defending freedom of thought and expression is also suggested. In order to do so, I first explain the notion of holding to be true and its difference from the notion of being true. Secondly, I examine what it means to be convinced and what it means to be persuaded. Finally, I analyse the relevance of alterity ...

Indo-European archaic traditions, represents a manifestation of the rite of passage and allows individuals of Ossetian origin, who may have lost their native language due to external circumstances, to demonstrate their cultural identity. It is suggested that the occurrence of such speech behaviour is strongly influenced by the specific time and place, where forced emigration to Europe not only contributes to the preservation of archaic speech etiquette patterns but also involuntarily activates ...
Conceptualizing emotions through discourse: a pragmatic view on the reader's interest
... simplification (N = 81), contextualization (N = 58), and concrete elaboration (N = 17). The strategies tend to present the most significant text ideas, reduce reader’s efforts for processing, and introduce the reader into the discourse-world. The findings suggest that the strategies aim to enhance the optimal relevance and conceptualize reader’s interest through the communicative dimension of relevance.

Shpet, Humboldt, Kant: Forms, Concepts, Schemes. Terms and Ideas

The author notes the peremptory character of some of Shpet’s claims as well as his description of Kant’s influence on Humboldt as suggestion. The author also considers Shpet’s critique of subjectivism, which robs subjectivism of creativity and confines it to the capacity to convey what has been understood and to err. Finally, Shpet’s methodology (the question of identity and ...

On the Poetic Dispute between Paul Celan and Johannes Bobrowski

Bobrowski, while agreeing with Celan's belief that Auschwitz revealed the infernal nature of the German language, attempted to counter him by suggesting that even within the language of the underworld, a poet could serve as a synergistic participant in the manifestation of Truth from the Light of Truth in the performative "production of the presence" of God. One of those who supported ...

Some view poetry as a form of politics, encapsulated in the aphorism ‘the word is a weapon’, while others argue that politics itself should embody the qualities of poetry, as suggested by Andy Merrifield's assertion that "politics should be like poetry." This article seeks to explore the poetic dimensions that underpin the political necessity for poetry, namely, the attributes of poetry that establish a connection ...
‘Mother’, ‘wife’ and ‘friend’: semantics and pragmatics of an address
... The metaphor of family is extended into a broader social context and can transcend societal boundaries to enter the realm of abstraction.
The cluster model by George Lakoff, which allows for the coexistence of transfer models in secondary usage, is suggested as a tool to describe the pragmatics of addressing a person as a 'mother'. However, unlike Lakoff's works, this study applies the cluster model not to idealised cognitive models — those of birth, genetics, upbringing, and others — but a ...
