TRAINING OF CHINESE STUDENTS IN PHYSICS AND TECHNICAL SPECIALTY TO PERCEPTION OF THE AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN LANGUAGE SPECIAL MATERIAL // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2015. Issue 4 (157). P. 66-69

The article describes the specifics of training of Chinese students of physical and technical profile to the perception of authentic material in the specialty using training innovative manuals. Tackling language material for the manual was due to educational and professional activities of students, peculiarities of the technical communication. The sequence of presentation from the word to the text reflects the understanding of authentic material from “recognition” of the words (phrases, cliches) to its context use and independent use in speech and in the production of secondary texts (written and oral). This logic of the material is motivated primarily by the features of teaching chinese-speaking students to a foreign language (Russian). As a result, the complex of tasks focused on the development and improvement of all types of speech activity in the field of professional communication is presented.

FUNCTIONING OF MANIPULATIVE ARGUMENTS IN JUDICIAL SPEECH (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE PROSECUTOR’S SPEECHES IN THE DEBATE) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2021. Issue 6 (218). P. 105-111

Introduction. The article considers the role of sophisms in the judicial speech of one of the Tomsk prosecutors. The significance of the research is determined by the combination of the problems of the effectiveness of modern judicial speech, the designation of its place in the structure of the judicial process with linguistic and phonological categories. The purpose is to assess the relevance of the use of sophisms in the speech practice of the modern Tomsk prosecutor. The object of the analysis is the speech activity of a linguistic personality-the prosecutor of Tomsk, a woman, 38 years old. Material and methods. The following methods were used: observation, scientific description, discursive analysis. The material was oral recordings of speeches of the Tomsk prosecutor, lawyer and the defendant, made during one trial. The volume of the material is about 11.5 words. Results and discussion. The article describes various types of sophisms noted in the speeches of the prosecutor: substitution of the thesis, false arguments, arbitrary arguments, arguments against a person, etc. It is found that rhetorical arguments prevail over logical arguments in the speech in the debate. Actually, manipulative techniques are concentrated in that part of the judicial controversy, which is called a replica. To confirm this postulate, the main theses were highlighted, which were proved and evaluated during the debate. Variants of speculative use of evaluative rhetorical techniques prevail. Less common are “false analogy” and “female logic”. There are few cases of distortion of the thesis: “narrowing-expansion of the thesis”, “substitution of the thesis”. At this stage, it is difficult to assess whether the commitment to manipulative techniques is an individual feature of the speaker, or it is typical for a modern judicial process. The use of sophisms is part of the traditions of modern judicial practice, which began in the nineteenth century. It is noted that in the case of using manipulative arguments, the feature of the speaker’s speech portrait is most clearly manifested: subjective assessment and emotionality. Conclusion. We can say that the chosen strategy, assuming the presence of sophisms, proved its situational effectiveness, since it probably became one of the factors that influenced the decision of the court that supported the prosecution. Each speaker, as a professional language personality, has his own arsenal of effective and ineffective ways of organizing a discussion, it is necessary to replenish his communicative arsenal with the most effective management strategies that influenced the court’s decision.

The concept of "siberian winter" in the perception of Russian language learners in higher education institutions of the Siberian region // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2025. Issue 4 (240). P. 16-24

This study is devoted to the study of the concept of Siberian winter in the linguacultural reception of foreign students studying Russian in Siberia. The purpose of the study is to identify the possibilities of the cognizable linguaculture and authentic language environment, along with the empirical experience of direct involvement in a foreign cultural reality, to promote the transformation of ethnocultural stereotypes in the consciousness of a secondary linguistic personality. One of these stereotypes is the traditional stereotype of the Siberian winter as generally uncomfortable - severe, long, cold and snowy. The main method of the study was an associative experiment. In the work, when processing the results, the method of modeling and scientific description was also used. To collect empirical material, the observation method, associative experiment and survey method were used. According to the results of the associative experiment, all recipients called the winter cold or frosty. The core part contains associations beautiful, long, snowy, white, severe, windy, slippery. The following verbal associates are noteworthy: mysterious, strange, amazing, wonderful experience of the power of nature, strong, which detail the semantics and expand the axiological image of winter. Secondary linguaculture and environment influence the transformation of this stereotype depending on the time spent in a foreign country, as well as the personality type. Dividing the participants in the experiment into two groups depending on whether they were familiar with the winter climate or not did not yield significant results. About half of the participants have a negative attitude towards winter, the other half are positive or neutral. None of the foreigners like the cold long winter. But for those who have not seen snow before, this natural phenomenon arouses interest and admiration. As a result, the nuances of the stereotype, its semantic deepening, as well as the similarity of ideas about the advantages and disadvantages of winter with the perception of the inhabitants of Siberia, in particular, the authors of this article, become noticeable. Thus, the hypothesis of this study about the formation in the public consciousness of foreigners of a persistent flat stereotype about the exclusively uncomfortable Russian and Siberian winter was not confirmed. As a result, it was shown that the flat onedimensional stereotype is transformed into a full-fledged concept of the perceived culture, the verbal associates associated with the Siberian winter are practically no different from the ideas of the Siberians themselves, on the contrary, they are approaching them, there is a gradual enrichment, detailing of the semantics and axiology of the image of winter.
