6701 | Due to the outbreak of a previously unknown coronavirus infection in 2020, people’s communication has largely shifted to an online format. The Internet has become an available space for users to discuss topical issues and express their attitude to the reality around them. Changes in language under the influence of changes in the world and ways of expressing emotions in Internet communication have become of interest to philologists, linguists, specialists in psychology and sociology. The specialists conduct studies in order to make necessary observations on the emotional state of people, to monitor public opinion on such an important phenomenon as vaccination, which is still causing a huge amount of debate. The purpose of this article is to describe the linguistic and communicative explication of negative emotions related to COVID-19 vaccination in Spanish and English. The focus of the study is on verbal and non-verbal means of expressing emotions in Internet comments on the topic of vaccination. The selection of the material with a total of 100 Internet comments (50 comments in English and 50 comments in Spanish) was limited to the period from February to August 2021, when the issue of vaccination was actively covered by all kinds of media outlets, including the Internet, causing lively discussions. The machine sentiment analysis revealed predominantly negative colouring of the texts of Internet comments on the topic under study. Stylistic analysis and interpretative discourse analysis allowed us to identify linguistic and non-linguistic means of expressing negative emotions of English- and Spanish-speaking Internet commentators. The identified means of linguistic and communicative explication of emotions were analysed on the lexical, stylistic, grammatical levels as well as on the level of graphics and images. Among the stylistic means visual metaphor expressed by emoticons and images was identified.

6702 | The article is a part of the complex of studies of Komi children’s poetry. The author characterizes landscape poetry, which, like all Komi literature, is moving in a realistic direction, solving the problems of not only the moral education of the younger generation, but also the formation in young readers of love for their small homeland, for their native nature. The main originality of the works is that they mainly show natural phenomena and objects characteristic of the Komi landscape. The poems depict specific signs of the seasons, which are internally close and understandable to the little reader. The analysis revealed that poetic works are not distinguished by a variety of color elements, which corresponds to the image of the discreet beauty of the northern region. However, the restraint of colors is compensated by the thoughtful sound organization of the verse. The study also showed that comparison and personification are common means of creating imagery in texts, with the help of which poets give the child the opportunity to see the world around him through the eyes of living, speaking nature. In addition, it was found that the poetics of many children’s poems in Komi literature is based on oral folk art. Of course, these lyrical texts cannot be called landscape texts in the traditional sense, since in them the poets do not so much depict pictures of their native land, but rather show the little reader the world around them in a playful way. But it is precisely such poetic works that allow a child to feel himself in the context of nature from childhood.

6703 | The tragedy “Marc Antoine, ou la Cleopatre” by J. Mairet is considered as a transitional phenomenon, which serves as a characteristic feature of the French theater of the 30s of the XVII century – the period of the return of the tragic genre to the stage and the efforts of its poetical renewal undertaken by playwrights (J. Mairet, J. de Rotrou, P. Corneille, J. de Scudery). The emphasis is placed both on the connection of the Mere text with the humanistic tragedy of the XVI century (in particular, with the texts of E. Jodel “The Captive Cleopatre” and R. Garnier “Marc Antoine”), which can be traced in the clearly expressed rhetoric nature of dramatic discourse – most of the statements of the main characters are based on the principle of official, public speech, built in strict accordance with the political role (the idea of history as a theater), and on the author’s attitude to the originality of the development of a well-known plot, which is seen in the breadth coverage and semantic complexity of historical events, achieved, among other things, due to the displacement of the love line of intrigue. The story brought to the fore turns out to be devoid of drama – there is no conflict, no tragic tension, so Mairet is forced to return to the love conflict as the engine of the stage action, which is activated by the introduction of the figure of Octavia – Antony’s first wife and Cleopatra’s rival. With Mairet’s noticeable attempts to reorganize the structural foundations of the tragedy and test new principles for dramatizing history, a significant divergence of personal and official-role plans, observed in the discursive behavior of the characters, leads to uncertainty, failures of significant meanings in events and details, as well as in the characters themselves and their relationships. A decisive restructuring of the traditional plot and compositional links of the tragedy, along with the discovery of productive mechanisms of ideological and semantic conflict tension, will be carried out only by Corneille, who will be able to find qualitatively new ways of dramatizing historical material, a direct preview of which are the experiments of Mairet.

6704 | The article is devoted to the active processes in modern speech, such as massive spread of univerbated words and verbal nouns. These phenomena can be seen in various lexical forms derived with different suffixes. The data used in the article is verbal nouns derived with suffix -k- (vypechka, zapivka, moika, perenoska) and univerbated words with homonymous suffix (molochka, sotsialka, veterinarka, nulevka). These two groups of words are involved in active lexical and semantic variation processes. The data source is explanatory and word-formation dictionaries, The Russian National Corpus, latest fiction texts, colloquial speech recordings. Results and discussion. The lexicon dynamics is largely determined by two processes – on the one hand, by the wide expansion of verbal nouns with typical metonymic meaning transfer in this lexical group, on the other hand, by the extreme spread of univerbated words, especially in colloquial speech. The regular word-formation models correspond to regular metonymic meaning transfer. Univerbation as a means of folding multiple-word structures represents a compressive word-formation characteristic of colloquial speech. Lexical meaning dynamics is reflected in explanatory dictionaries that represent vocabulary of various historical periods. Some univerbated words are placed firmly in literary language (elektrichka, morekhodka, zachetka), as well as the other have recently appeared in colloquial speech (sanktsionka, udalenka). Lately appearing special dictionaries of univerbated words provide rich material for this phenomenon study both in synchrony and in diachrony. What is of particular interest is the use of verbal nouns and univerbated words with the homonymous suffix in modern fiction, where various forms of author’s reflection are observed. The conducted research has shown the communicative significance of two processes – the formation of verbal nouns and univerbated words with the homonymous suffix. The appeal to lexicographic publications shows a typical mechanism of lexical and semantic variation associated with the speaker’s desire to convey different thoughts concisely or to denote new realities with a single lexeme.

6705 | We are talking about the need to find new solutions in educational activities related to the study of Russian as a foreign language, in the conditions of a modern multicultural space. National educational systems respond differently to the challenges and trends of today and develop specialist training programs whose competency base satisfies the needs of the domestic and international human resources market. The “One Belt, One Road” strategy initiated by China is a political, social and economic context that determines the dynamics and transformation of specialized personnel training. Proficiency in Russian as a means of communication in a multicultural world is considered in China to be an important indicator of a high-class specialist, which poses the task of the country’s universities to carefully consider the concept of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The experience of introducing an original model for training highly professional personnel in the subject area “Russian as a Foreign Language” at a Chinese regional university is described. The principles that determine the educational model are revealed, its didactic resource, content, functional features, testing results are described, and prospects for improvement are outlined taking into account changing sociopolitical circumstances. It is emphasized that when designing such an educational model, the factors of the territorial location of the developer university, its previous experience of multifaceted interaction with Russia, including trade, educational and cultural exchanges, the availability of material and technical base, motivational needs and expectations of the parties involved in the process are taken into account. Among the unique features of the educational model of training in the field of Russian as a foreign language, proposed for implementation by Mudanjiang Normal University, there is an emphasis on the priority of practical and applied training, widespread involvement of internship sites, staged and leveled implementation of educational programs, their interdisciplinarity, mandatory use as traditional , as well as innovative techniques and teaching methods, selection of the contingent for training and differentiated work with them throughout the educational process. The experience of a regional Chinese university can be useful in terms of application in other universities and other countries.

6706 | The study of subtext information refers to important problems of modern text theory. Along with factual and conceptual information, it is important for the recipient who perceives the text to understand the subtext, which has various means of representation. The analysis of various types of subtext and the means of its explicit or indirect expression is relevant for modern linguistics, because it is connected with the problem of text interpretation. The purpose of the article is to identify the idiosyncratic specifics of the expression of subtext information in the early poems of the symbolist poet I. Annensky. The subtext in the work of the existentialist poet I. F. Annensky is insufficiently researched. Related to this is the relevance of the study of the author’s philosophical lyrics. The article used such research methods as contextual and conceptual analysis, as well as semantic-stylistic, biographical. The analysis of the poems from the first of the author’s first collection “Quiet Songs” (1904) made it possible to identify the subtext information in the author’s works and determine the means of its representation based on the theory of regularity of the communicative stylistics of the text. Some idiosyncratic features of the symbolist poet are established, reflecting the specifics of this literary direction. Various linguistic and extralinguistic regulatory means and structures have been studied as markers of subtext in I. Annensky’s poems, regulatory dominants have been identified. As the analysis showed, the linguistic means and structures include the names of the collection and poetic texts, the choice of a pseudonym by the author, the use of tropes and figures, of which the author’s individual metaphors, epithets, unusual textual syntagmatics, symbol words, the dominance of antithesis were especially significant for I. Annensky. The extralinguistic means of representing the subtext in the poet’s lyrics include the choice of genre, rhythmic-sound and frame elements of the work. Collection “Quiet songs” by I. Annensky is an excellent example of philosophical lyrics. The rich conceptual sphere of the symbolist poet includes elements of the ancient worldview and existential philosophy. The means of representation of the subtext reveal themselves in the poet’s lyrics in minimal units (italics, lexical regulatives, etc.) and large elements within the general structure of the text, actualizing concepts, chronotope, allusions. Keywords: I. Annensky, subtext, means of representation, symbolist poet, Silver Age | 469 | |||||
6707 | This paper focuses on describing the approaches of linguistic nationology and linguistic culturology in the study of geography. The purpose of this study is to reveal some characteristics of linguistic nationology and linguistic culturology in the study of geography. The language country approach allows for an understanding of the linguistic features of a particular country or region, taking into account historical, sociocultural and political factors. The main tasks of national language research include studying the differences of language structure, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation in different regions, studying dialects, national variants of languages and the characteristics of language workshops and exchanges. This approach contributes to a better understanding of the cultural identity, identity and habits of a people and their integration with the language. The linguistic and cultural approach in the study of language countries aims to study the relationship between language and culture and national mentality, which involves analyzing the expression forms of language and culture and the interaction between language and cultural values in language users’ speech and mentality. This approach allows for a better understanding of the lifestyles, values, world views, traditions and customs of different language communities. The combination of linguistic nationology and linguistic culturology enables people to have a comprehensive understanding of the language and culture of a certain region. This method is an important tool for scholars, teachers and all those interested in studying the languages and cultures of different peoples. It promotes better mutual understanding and the development of cross-cultural ability. This paper introduces the basic ways to study regional problems. This paper reviews the basic problems involved in the formation and development of linguistic regionalism as an interdisciplinary subject. It reveals the basic similarities and differences between the concepts of “linguistic geography” and “linguistic geography”. This paper expounds the significance of language nationology and language culturology to the study of regionalism. We have paid attention to the scientific language and language potential of language region research in foreign language teaching, especially Russian as a foreign language. All the conclusions are related to the further study of regional studies in the theory and practice of foreign language teaching (including Russian as a foreign language).

6708 | Many foreign and Russian linguists (including the syntaxists of the so-called Vinogradov’s school) consider the Russian sentence to be verbocentric, because the verb supports many syntactic structures of both simple and complex sentences. That is why all types of studies on different aspects of this grammatical category are so important in the process of teaching foreign students, including aspect formation, meaning and use of the aspect pair (both categorical and pragmatic), its semantic and syntactic compatibility with left and right actants. As a rule, foreign students studying Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) in Russia and outside the language environment have at their disposal different types of dictionaries, and our aim is to trace what opportunities these dictionaries provide for mastering the verbal word’s use in modern discourse. In other words, how much aspectual information they contain, how adequate it is to the current state of the language, and how much it contributes to the free participation of a foreigner in various discursive processes, both oral and written. The types of dictionaries which foreign students most often deal with – explanatory and educational ones of various directions – are considered. Aspectual verbal characteristics of these dictionaries are analyzed in three perspectives: 1) content; 2) structurе; 3) sign marking. The dictionary dignities are revealed as well as some drawbacks, preventing the international students from free orienteering in the dictionary entries of the Russian Verbs, from becoming aware of Aspectual peculiarities of Russian Sentences with Verbal Predicates and finally from adequate using the Aspect Forms in discourse. Controversial issues of interpretation of verbs are estimated, options for their solution are proposed. As a result of the study: 1) the necessity of ordering and expanding the aspectual information of the dictionary is proved; 2) a different type of verb semantics expounding is proposed, depending on the type of linguistic meaning; 3) the directions of changes and practical materials for Aspectual Commentary of Verbal entries, first of all, of the RFL educational dictionaries, have been developed.

6709 | Referential ranking of subjects in proverbs with second-person singular forms has not yet been identified and described in special literature. This study aims to describe the ways of expressing referential statuses of subjects in these types of proverbs. The study uses proverbs from V. I. Dal’s collection as source data. The analysis is based on A. V. Bondarko’s theory of categorical situations. The methodological framework includes works by N. D. Arutyunova, E. V. Paducheva, T. V. Bulygina, and A. D. Shmeleva that focus on the theory of reference, as well as studies by N. A. Dyachkova, O. E. Frolova, and L. B. Katsyuba that describe proverbs as a unique type of text. The study has revealed that the referential statuses of subjects in proverbs can be actualised/modified based on various factors, such as construction features (one semantic subject vs. two semantic subjects), ways of expressing subjects (discrete vs. non-discrete), interactions with different distributors, and connections with temporal non-localizability. The study has also revealed that subjects have different referential statuses: universal and generic. The highest status (universal) is assigned to a person in proverbs based on a one-member generalised personal sentence with one semantic subject. In this case, the referential status of a non-discrete subject is determined with reference to the semantics of the predicate, where the action relates to an open group of people. The rank of subjects within this type can decrease when the predicate specifies a circle of actors and conditions for the action. Subjects in constructions with two semantic subjects have the generic status: the subject of characterisation (grammatically subordinate but semantically dominant) and the subject of action (grammatically dominant but semantically subordinate), serving to identify the features of the subject of characterisation. The referential (generic) status of the subject of action is the same as that of the subject of characterisation due to its subordination to the latter. The study also identifies semantic types of subjects that influence their reference. Ways of raising the rank of subjects (conditionally referential use) and lowering it (relation to noun groups, certain semantic classes) have been determined. By considering the interaction of different factors in proverbs, a complex ranking system for subjects can be represented.

6710 | According to the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education (FSES DO), one of the main results of mastering the educational program is the formation and development of verbal communication skills and the prerequisites for mastering literacy, which is the key to the success of the child’s personality in further schooling. This set of skills in modern science has been transformed into the concept of speech readiness for school. The development of the system of inclusive preschool education in Russia has highlighted the problem of creating an effective system for developing speech readiness for school within a group of a combined type of kindergarten, which has actualized the problem of the study and determined the setting of its goal. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the formation of speech readiness for school in children with special needs in a group of combined orientation of a preschool educational institution (hereinafter referred to as preschool educational institution). The following research methods were used: observation method, diagnostic tasks, analysis of children's activity products. The level of speech development was assessed using diagnostic materials in accordance with the methodology for monitoring the pedagogical process by N.V. Vereshchagina. The study was conducted on the basis of the Municipal Autonomous Preschool Educational Institution of Combined Kindergarten No. 99 in Tomsk from 2020 to 2023. During this period, monitoring of the speech development of children was carried out from the moment of admission to a children's educational institution at the age of 4 years until graduation at the age of 6–7 years. The total composition of the group included 25 people, of which 5 were people with special educational needs (hereinafter referred to as SEN), having levels 2 and 3 of general speech underdevelopment (GSD). In accordance with the individual characteristics of each child, adaptive speech development programs were developed, which were implemented in close cooperation between the teacher and specialized specialists: a speech therapist, a speech pathologist, a psychologist, using the principle of open door technology. Speech development was monitored twice a year. The novelty of the study lies in the proposed approach to the formation of an individual adaptive program for each child, as well as the description of the stages of its implementation by the teacher of the combined group. It was concluded that it is possible to effectively correct general speech underdevelopment in the context of inclusive education, provided that an individual route and program is developed for each child, as well as the availability of highly qualified specialists, including speech therapy skills of the teacher of a preschool educational institution.

6711 | The article discusses the problem of destructive behavior of pedagogical university students and the prevention of this behavior at the system level. The author analyzed existing theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of a system for preventing destructive behavior of students (SPDBS), models and applied forms of implementing preventive measures in educational organizations. Based on the results of the analysis, person-oriented and socially-oriented theoretical and methodological approaches to the problem of preventing destructive behavior were identified, which serve as the basis of integral models. According to the prevailing focus, integral models were represented by the following list: information model; model of social activism; model of formation of spiritual and moral culture; model of socio-psychological adaptation; educational and developmental model; personal resource model, cultural education model, constructive leisure model. The model is presented as a basis that determines the organizational form and content of the SPDBS. The analysis of existing SPDBSs in higher education revealed their fragmentation, locality and the growing gap between theoretical constructions and practical implementation, which in turn determines the relevance of the development and implementation of a scientific and organizational approach to the construction of such systems. As a result of the research, the author developed the conceptual foundations of a six-stage scientific and organizational approach to the construction of SPDBS in higher education. At the structural and content level, it is proposed to distinguish the following subsystems (components) of the SPDBS: cognitive, motivational-value, emotional-affective, behavioral, social-communicative. Keywords: destructive behavior, destructive behavior of students, prevention of destructive behavior of students, approaches to the prevention of destructive behavior of students, prevention of extremism, prevention of school shooting, prevention of suicidal behavior, extremism among students | 446 | |||||
6712 | In modern studies of language, the focus of attention is on the functional features of linguistic phenomena. Functional grammar is no exception, describing the structure, content and functioning of semantic categories around which functional-semantic fields are organised, covering the whole language space and its different levels (aspectuality, modality, quantity, quality, etc.). This study considers condition as a subfield of the conditionality field, which also includes the subfields of cause, purpose, consequence and concession, which are closely related to each other both by internal logical relations and by means of their expression. Despite a number of studies devoted to the structure of the conditionality subfield and its separate manifestations, including conditional constructions, conjunctions and prepositions, the issues of discourse variability of the components of this subfield have not been specifically considered. Conditional relations seem to be most significant for scientific discourse, on the material of which this study is based. The scientific literature describes the conditional meanings characteristic of the corresponding constructions and constituting the content plan of the condition subfield. These are real-conditional, potential-conditional, unreal-conditional, as well as non-conditional meanings – conditional-temporal meaning, conditional-causal, conditional-consequential, conditional-purpose, conditional-concessive, conditional-explanatory. Thus, the conditional semantics is in the intersection with related meanings (including conditionality), is extremely diverse, as well as diverse means of its expression - at the level of simple (to be a condition, to condition, at, under condition, in the case of, etc.) and complex (with conjunctions if, if, if only, when, etc.) sentences. This study is based on the assumption that the means of expressing conditional semantics vary in different thematic types of scientific discourse. Turning to the core genre of scientific discourse – the scientific article – confirms this assumption. The material of the study was 3 708 articles from the peer-reviewed journals “The World of Russian Word” and “Bulletin of Tomsk State University”. In the course of the analysis, more than 60 000 contexts with conditional meanings, collected by the method of continuous sampling, from articles on philology, history, biology, computer science and informatics, and economics were considered. The analysis showed that not all private meanings of conditionality presented in the language are manifested in scientific discourse. When expressing conditional relations in the articles of the five mentioned subjects, the central position is occupied by simple sentences with the preposition at, at the level of a complex sentence the marker of conditional semantics is the conjunction if. The qualitative and quantitative indicators with regard to conditional constructions for articles of different themes differ significantly. Thus, the study shows the variability of the expression plan and content plan of the conditional subfield, the differences in the use of conditional units in different types of scientific discourse.

6713 | In modern literary criticism, no one doubts the special role of the novel by E. I. Zamyatin “We” in the dystopian literary tradition. Among the illustrative studies on the topic, we mention S. S. Romanov, who determines why the appearance of the novel “We” “marked a new stage in the development of anti-utopianism, and its author was recognized as the first classic of the genre.”This article proposes to consider the named work not only in the aspect of its direct historical and literary factuality, but to study the hidden patterns of the literary process and the mechanisms of the evolution of genre forms that have developed at the junction of the novel form and the (anti) utopian model of reality. As follows from the results of the study, the key role in these processes of the novel by E.I. Zamyatin’s “We” is determined precisely by the fact that there is a connection and complete merging of the utopian and dystopian concepts with the novel form and the formation of the genre canon of the dystopian novel. At the same time, previous significant appeals to the utopian or dystopian (by F. M. Dostoevsky, H. Wells or in Russian religious philosophy at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries) do not create such a special genre subtype of the novel, and subsequent appeals to the problem by A. P. Platonov, O. Huxley, J. Orwell, R. Bradbury and others directly or indirectly rely on Zamyatin’s canon of form. Keywords: utopia, dystopia, novel, genre canon | 443 | |||||
6714 | Verbal periphrases with gerund occupy a special place in the grammatical system of Spanish. These constructions are composed of an auxiliary verb in a conjugated form and a main verb in an impersonal form of gerund. Among them, the most frequent is the periphrasis “estar + gerund”. Thus, the study of the process of its grammaticalization in the medieval period of the Spanish language represents an exceptional interest. The relevance of the research is due to the absence of such an analysis based on the corpora of historical texts in studies on Ibero-Romance linguistics written in Russian. The materials of the study are the texts of the XII–XV centuries taken from the Spanish corpora El Corpus Diacrónico del Español (CORDE) and Corpus del Español: Genre / Historical. The methods of grammatical, semantic, and aspectual interpretation were used to analyse the found contexts. Several stages of grammatical and lexical expansion in the use of the studied construction are consistently considered. It was revealed that since the XIII century the periphrasis was actively introducing into the language system as a grammatically stable verb combination. Subsequently its lexical and grammatical compatibility was significantly expanded. By the XV century, grammaticalization reached its maximum and the periphrasis was already used in all possible tenses and moods, just as in modern language. It is important to note that most often in the medieval period under consideration, verbs semantically denoting perception and mental activity took the position of the main verb of the periphrasis. From an actional point of view, these are often stative verbs. Apparently, in order to combine with the stative verb estar, other verbs also needed to have stative characteristics. At present, on the contrary, stative verbs are the least frequent in the position of the main verb of the periphrasis under consideration, according to analysis of texts from the corpus of modern Spanish. Keywords: grammaticalization, historical corpora, periphrasis "estar + gerund", medieval Spanish | 440 | |||||
6715 | Coverage of the activities of representatives of Russian literature, in whose works the motives associated with the Muslim East, whose spiritual base is the holy book of Muslims, are traced ‒ The Quran is relevant in the field of comparative study of the literatures of peoples who are genetically unrelated, but close in geographical region. And we are talking not only about the famous “ Imitations of the Koran” by A. S. Pushkin or the Caucasian poems by M. Y. Lermontov, but also about the work of their contemporaries, among whom V. K. Kuhelbecker, Ya. N. Polonsky, L. A. Yakubovich, A. G. Rotchev, A. F. Veltman should be singled out, D. P. Oznobishin and many others who played an equally significant role in the process of mastering foreign artistic images. Their artistic heritage is an interesting material for observations on the dialectic of national and foreign in the framework of the Russian-Eastern literary and cultural dialogue. In this regard, the Quranic motifs of the Russian poet, writer and translator Dmitry Petrovich Oznobishin (1804–1877), whose orientalism, which was mostly philosophical and contemplative, is still poorly studied, are of undoubted interest. We distinguish seven Quranic motives: the motive of prayer, the motive of an oath, the motive of repentance, the motive of Quranic verses, motives associated with Muslim customs and with the procession of the Sharia court, the motive of Quranic traditions and the motive of Quranic eschatology. The main content of the article is the identification of the features of these motifs on the example of the collection “Arabesques, or Collection of Oriental stories” by D. P. Oznobishin, which includes ten works: “Visitation” (Oriental novel), “Ideal” (Oriental novel), “The Rivalry of Six Slaves” (Oriental novel), “Dispute” (Oriental novel), as well as arrangements of the makama (novella) by Abu Mohammed al-Hariri (1054–1122) “Caravan”, “Desire” (Arabic novella), “Love”, “Thief”, “Reconciliation” and “Gold Coin” (Dinari makama). The analysis of the Quranic motifs found in a number of Oznobishin’s novels allows us to state with confidence that the Russian poet, who turned to this topic, tried to present his own idea of the most important issues of being through the comprehension of another, previously unfamiliar to him, religious philosophy.

6716 | Questions regarding the integration of “flipped learning” technology in the academic process, which allow students to acquire and understand new material outside of the classroom and apply it in academic discussions, debates, and projects, draw particular attention from researchers and staff in educational facilities. The application of this technique invokes the student’s creative potential and capability, leading to improved learning outcomes and student activity, however its successful application requires certain approaches and resources. The purpose of the study is to determine the essence of “flipped learning”; to study its existing advantages and disadvantages; to evaluate the effectiveness of the assimilation process of the studied material by students as a result of the introduction of this technology. The resources for this study were the theoretical methods of comparative analysis and general content of scientific and pedagogical literature by domestic and foreign scientists working in similar research areas. The verification of the accuracy and validity of the constructed model, which indicated the effectiveness of the technology used, was carried out by the methods of observation, pedagogical experiment, modeling, regression and correlation analyses. The main characteristics of learning are described: the individualization of the educational process, the rational distribution of free time with productive independent work at one’s own pace, and the unlimited use of electronic educational resources. Despite the identified imperfections and certain potential problems for teachers and students, the technology has many advantages, and discussions by authors of the scientific and pedagogical literature on the topic of study made it possible to carry out our own research to identify the advantages and disadvantages when introduced into the educational process. The effectiveness of the degree of material assimilation when using this technology was tested by us at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of Buryat State University and at the Ulan-Bator branch of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. In the course of the study, tests trials were carried out to measure residual knowledge and students were surveyed to assess the quality of the proposed technology. As an experiment to determine the effectiveness of the methodology, the authors prepared and posted presentations on one of the basic topics of mathematical analysis in the digital educational sphere of universities. To achieve maximum efficiency in the use of this method, it is necessary to take into account the individual needs and abilities of each student and to create a suitable environment for independent work, providing necessary technical support. The results of the study demonstrated that ad the results of the application of “flipped learning”, students were motivated to improve the quality of gained knowledge, and were incentivized to learn on their own, and the level of their self-organization increased as well.

6717 | The usage of literary code is one of the basic techniques in creating fiction. Turkish writer and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk in interviews and public speeches has repeatedly pointed out that in the process of working, including during the creation of the novel “Museum of Innocence”, he was in dialogue with the oeuvre of L. N. Tolstoy. Calling the Russian classic “a model of a historical writer”, Pamuk uses artistic techniques inherent in Tolstoy’s prose in his work on a novel about Istanbul life in the mid-1975’s. In the course of a comparative analysis, the interaction of the creative principles of the Turkish writer with the artistic system of the Russian novelist was examined and it was revealed that this connection is of a systemic nature. As the starting point of coding, the authors of the article identified the motive of guilt, which is key for the problematic organization of Pamuk’s work, as Tolstoy’s novel Anna Karenina. Particular attention in the research is paid to the nature of the implementation of the motive of fault in epigraphs to novels, where its plot-forming role is already planned. Next, several aspects of the functioning of the motive of fault in the works in question are revealed: public condemnation, denial of their fault and a desire to shift it to another, self-judgment. Based on the value guidelines shown in the code, Pamuk creates in the “Museum of Innocence” a conflict between the characters’ own fault and the predestination of their actions. In the course of the research, it becomes obvious that the historical conditioning of the fate of the characters in Tolstoy’s novel as understood by Pamuk is transformed into a plot model. As a result, coding as a technique does not just program various levels of the artistic organization of Pamuk’s novel, but determines the logic of the development of the plot and prejudges its ending. The plot-forming motive of guilt in the “Museum of Innocence” under the influence of the Tolstoy code used by the postmodern author develops according to a specific script, going beyond the conditioning of the cultural and historical situation in which the novel takes place.

6718 | The article is devoted to the use of the word 可以 kěyǐ in the position of the degree complement in the compound type predicate-resultative structure in the modern Chinese language. The study by Russian linguists of complement as part of the Chinese sentence has intensified in recent years, and due to the increasing interest in the Chinese language among more and more people, it is necessary to analyze the current state of the language and the changes occurring in it. The use of the word 可以 kěyǐ as the degree complement is a relatively new phenomenon; this article is of particular interest not only for the theoretical understanding of the use of this word in the position of the degree complement and the development of Russian linguistic research in this area, but also for practical application by those who study Chinese language at an in-depth level and wants to understand the subtleties of using different words. Especially in light of the fact that there are no similar works in the Russian-speaking scientific community, and we are the first to analyze the features of its use by analyzing dictionary meanings. The analysis of the dictionary meaning of this lexical unit is carried out on the basis of an analysis of the differences in the use of 可以 kěyǐ both in the position of the degree complement and as part of the state complement; this lexical unit in the position of the complement is considered from the point of view of its structural features and semantic indication. To do this, we analyze not only the dictionary meanings used in the two dictionaries given in the work, but also the accompanying examples. We are using the definitional method and the method of continuous sampling from the BLCU Corpus Center (BBC 语料库 yǔliàokù) corpus database, analyze the use of this complement with various lexical units as part of the predicative-resultative structure, on the basis of which the most frequently used adjectives in the predicate position and verbs are identified. We provide the description of the meanings that these lexical units carry, and with words with what connotation the complement of the degree 可以 kěyǐ can be used most often. The examples demonstrate what features lexical units with neutral and positive connotations acquire as part of a construction with the degree complement 可以 kěyǐ, on the basis of which we made a conclusion about the connotation of this degree complement. In the course of considering examples of the use of the degree complement 可以 kěyǐ and on the basis of conclusions supported by studies of the degree complement in Chinese language conducted by Chinese linguists, the author makes an assumption about the possible development of the dictionary meaning of the word 可以 kěyǐ into a designation of degree, which occurred due to the reduction of the state complement during the natural development of the language.

6720 | The article is devoted to the role of pronunciation in teaching French. Attention is focused on prosodic factors that play an important role in the process of understanding a statement. Decoding of verbal communication takes place at the intellectual, linguistic, emotional and relational levels. The interlocutors perceive not only individual words, but also the tone of the utterance. Intonationally transmitted information allows you to understand the deep meaning of the utterance and its components. The purpose of the study is to determine the place of the phonetic component in the methodology of teaching a foreign language. The following research methods are used in the work: analysis of pedagogical, methodological, linguistic literature and the work experience of Russian and foreign phonetists; the method of scientific description; synthesis and generalization of their own practice of teaching French at the university. Many modern researchers in the field of foreign language teaching methods are supporters of communicative learning, leading to a new perception of the role of pronunciation, and awareness of the importance of intonation parameters of speech.The effectiveness of teaching the French language is increased with the use of special exercises for practicing prosodic phenomena, in which the phonosemantic approach appeals to sound matter and contributes to the formation of foreign language pronunciation skills. The result is the development of exercises based on the analysis of traditional and modern didactic principles. It is proposed to practice pronunciation skills in order to correct oral speech according to the following parameters: intonation and rhythm, intensity of articulation, phonetic environment. The effectiveness of training at the segment level increases with the use of exercises based on the principle of “from simple to complex”. The suprasegmental level, which implies normative stress, correct melody, rhythm, and pauses, also plays a significant role in mastering the articulation base of the language being studied. Only the complex perception of the above phonetic phenomena leads to the assimilation of the articulatory base of a foreign language. Thus, students need to master phonetic and phonological skills, since their insufficient formation will have negative consequences for the entire language learning process.

6721 | Recently, both government and society have been making efforts to strengthen the position of Russian as the state language and language of international communication. The authors of the article reveal modern problems of communication in Russian, which correspond to the pedagogical ideas of K. D. Ushinsky on the importance of the native language in the spiritual and moral upbringing of children. These ideas are presented not only in books for younger students, but also in other works of the scholar, including his article “Native Word”. Themes of reverent attitude toward the Russian language, the importance of imagery, expressiveness, emotionality, and purity of Russian speech permeate Ushinsky’s writings and encourage reflection on the role of the Russian language in the world and the problems of modern communication. The authors of the article are deeply concerned about the following problems. First, the distribution and use of the Russian language in the education system of many countries has decreased, which not only narrows the base of economic, business and scientific cooperation with Russia, but also impoverishes cultural and spiritual life in these countries. Secondly, there was a risk of losing the emotional factor and reducing the communicative culture as a whole in the transition to a virtual format. Virtual communication, to a certain extent, interferes with the full expression of emotional mood, depriving the statements of the partners in communication of originality and semantic completeness. Third, there is the threat of unjustified contamination of native speech with words recently borrowed from the English language and other foreign words and expressions. The use of foreign words in the economic, political, financial and informational spheres is more widespread today than in any other period of Russian language development in the past. In the year of the anniversary of K. D. Ushinsky’s authors were interested in the question of how familiar modern students were with his pedagogical ideas about the importance of the native language. Moreover, the authors attempted to identify a number of problems of modern communication in Russian in the abovementioned context. In order to find out the students’ attitude towards the Russian language as a subject of study and a means of communication, the authors conducted a survey of 240 students of the 1st-5th years of pedagogical profiles. The survey showed that students believe that K. D. Ushinsky’s idea of the priority of the native language is relevant and are in favor of strengthening the Russian language in the world, suggesting such measures as creating Russian-language programs for foreign students, expanding the range of distance courses for studying Russian as a foreign language, opening branches of Russian universities abroad. The analysis of the use of Russian as the state language, as well as the language of interethnic and international communication allowed us to identify a number of problems of modern communication in Russian. To these problems the authors of the article attributed: first, the reduction of the scope of distribution and use of the Russian language in many countries; second, the threat of the decrease of the emotional expressive function of the native language in the transition to a virtual format; third, the risk of unjustified use in the native speech of foreign words and expressions that make it difficult to understand the content and meaning of both individual statements and the communication process as a whole. As the study showed, the dissemination of K. D. Ushinsky’s ideas can contribute to the generation of ideas by the younger people that can help to overcome the revealed difficulties. Keywords: K. D.

6722 | The article examines the functioning of visual metaphorical images of food in polycode texts of the modern Russian-language Internet space. The wide distribution of polycode texts in the digital environment, their transformation into an active influencing tool of mass communication determines the relevance of studying various mechanisms of interaction between visual images and verbal textual means in the information space of modern man. The purpose of the work is to study visual metaphorical images of food in texts of various discursive nature and genre and stylistic affiliation; in identifying the functions, pragmatic potential, areas of denotative application of visual metaphors with gastronomic semantics; in the description of typical situations of their use in Internet communications. Methodology and methods. The methodology of the work is based on cognitive, discursive, linguoculturological and system-structural approaches to the study of imagery of language and speech, used in the field of semantics of language units, text stylistics, semiotics of images, discursive-pragmatic analysis of Internet communication. When analyzing the visual components of a polycode text, the experience of predecessors in the field of analysis of the composition and typology of visual images that form the iconic element of its complex structure is taken into account. When collecting material, methods of sampling from open Russian-language Internet sources, methods of systematization and classification of verbal-iconic complexes were used. Visual metaphor was studied based on theories of figurative structure of language and cognitive theory of metaphor. The research material is presented in polycode texts, the iconic component of which includes images of food – products, dishes, situations of absorption and cooking. A total of 230 texts were analyzed that included or accompanied the visualization of a gastronomic image in the form of a photograph of an object, a photo collage or a drawing. The study demonstrated that in the modern open Russian-language Internet space on the websites of the media, trade, financial, public and private organizations, one of the effective influencing tools is visual gastronomic images included in polycode texts. Together with verbal elements (inscriptions on images, titles and text fragments of publications), they convey meanings of an allegorical nature, which, as a rule, are based on the figurative semantics of linguistic expressions (chop cabbage ‘make money’), the symbolism of precedent texts (“porridge from an ax” – the name of a Russian fairy tale) and phenomena (state flags, banknotes, leaders of states). The functioning of a visual food metaphor is associated with the manifestation of linguistic creativity and language play, creating a comic effect to attract the attention of the target audience – potential readers and clients. As a result, frequent visual culinary images were identified (cabbage, pies, porridge, grain, peas, mushroom, jar, pan, knife, cook), associative phenomena associated with them, creating a metaphorical and expressive-figurative effect (money, finances, animals, household items, attributes of professions), stable metaphorical models (cabbage – money, pie – financial and political value, kitchen – politics, cooking – carrying out social activities); The communicative areas of application of visual food images in polycode texts (economics, commerce, advertising, politics, entertainment) are characterized. Food metaphorical images are stable and are part of language as a culturally conditioned semiotic system. They are fixed in linguistic units and are consistently reproduced in communication, including using various methods of visualization through iconic elements of polycode texts.

6723 | The article examines the linguistic embodiment of the concepts HONOR and LAW, important for folk culture, in the names of an illegitimate child and the woman who gave birth to him. In “Big Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language,” ed. S. A. Kuznetsov honor is defined as “a good, unblemished reputation, a good, honest name. Chastity, chastity, virginity (about women).” A woman who preserved her virginity before marriage is called че́стная ‘honest’; a woman who did not preserve it is called нече́стная, бесче́стная ‘dishonest’. The situation of having children out of wedlock is described by such a construction as роди́тьбесче́стно ‘giving birth dishonorably’. The lexeme law is interpreted as “a rule of social behavior that is generally accepted, mandatory, immutable; custom”. This law prohibits a woman from living with a man without marrying him, and also from leaving her husband. Living in an official marriage means житьпозако́ну ‘living according to the law’, взако́нномбра́ке ‘in a legal marriage’. Accordingly, spouses living in an official marriage are called зако́нными ‘legal’. A child born in an official marriage was born зако́нно ‘legally’. Official (legal) marriage and cohabitation are opposed to each other. If a woman gives birth to a child out of wedlock, she is called беззако́нница ‘wicked’. The situation of having children out of wedlock is described by expressions невзако́н ‘not in accordance with the law’, непозако́ну ‘not according to the law’. This situation can be defined as беззако́ние ‘lawlessness’. Children born out of wedlock are described using the lexemes беззако́нник, беззако́нной, незако́нной, незаконноро́жденной, незаконнорожо́ной ‘illegitimate’. The concept of HONOR is mainly realized in popular ideas about maiden purity and a woman’s behavior before marriage. The concept of LAW for the situation of children born out of wedlock is more significant, because describes it from the point of view of not only moral, but also legal law, generally accepted norms of behavior in a team. Both marriage and children born in it are within the scope of the law, therefore names with the root -закон- ‘law’ apply to both the woman and her child. Both concepts describe human behavior from the point of view of public morality. Keywords: Northern Russian dialects, concept, semantics, nomination, kinship terms, folk culture | 399 | |||||
6724 | The article contains the results of the study of the semantics of the central spatial image of the house-hotel in Lena Eltang’s novel “Stone Maples” and the manifestation of the poetics of neomodernism in the methods of mythologization of the image of the house. The house-hotel “Stone Maples” is not only the space of the plot action, but also a “character” of the diaries/book of the central heroine, an image-myth in her consciousness. “Maples” are the place of death of Sasha’s parents, they connect the semantics of life and death not as in an idyll (natural change of generations), but in accordance with archaic ideas about death as a stage of the life cycle. This mythological semantics is manifested through different semiotic codes – vegetative and creative: burial in the ground and digging up of the herbal diary is likened to the death and resurrection of grain, birth. In addition, the image of the “Stone Maples” supports a complex of allusions to a fairy tale, is associated with an enchanted kingdom, a place to test the abilities of a potential groom to rescue a bride from trouble, to resurrect her from sleep-death. Finally, the story of the appearance of this home in the Sonli family is important. The house was bought with money bequeathed to Sasha’s mother by a secret selfless lover and received after his death, but it was turned into a hotel, combining the functions of a family estate and an inn. Through the image of a house-hotel, Eltang builds a personal myth about the world and man in it. This myth emphasizes the “absoluteness”, the ideality of the House, but it is an accidental gift and a temporary earthly refuge for man. The house does not guarantee the stability of existence. But it is the awareness of oneself as a “guest”, “innkeeper” that contributes to the emergence and implementation of a creative intention aimed at countering the disintegration of matter, the destruction of connections. Mythologism in the novel is combined with psychologism, archaic semantics in the poetics of the novel’s space is connected with the author’s myth about the ‘house-hotel’. Keywords: L.

6725 | The university mathematics course occupies an important place in the basic training of engineers for various fields of modern production. Mathematical training of students of technical specialties is conducted during the first four semesters. Students study such sections as linear and vector algebra, analytical geometry, mathematical analysis, differential equations, probability theory and mathematical statistics. Currently, there is a large bank of various didactic tasks for the successful formation of mathematical knowledge and skills in all sections of the university mathematics course. Federal educational standards establish a certain set of universal and general professional competencies that students need to develop over the entire period of study at the university. In the normative documentation, competencies are considered as abilities that reflect the content of the elements of professional activity. Within the framework of teaching a discipline, it is possible to form some individual competencies. The use of conventional learning tasks and exercises does not always allow you to create conditions for the development of specified competencies. The inclusion of students in active educational activities aimed at developing competencies can be ensured by the use of complex tasks. In the context of digitalization, the importance of using information technology in solving various tasks is increasing. A complex computer-mathematical task is considered by the authors as a set of educational tasks, the solution of which requires the use of mathematical modeling and computer programming. It includes two parts – analytical and mathematical and software and computing. A complex computer-mathematical task can be educational or informative. The content of the training task involves solving a standard mathematical problem by analytical methods, constructing an algorithm of operations performed, writing a calculation program, and testing it. The content of the cognitive task includes conducting a computational experiment using a computational program. Educational complex computer and mathematical tasks are used to form educational skills, and cognitive tasks are used to form research skills. The paper presents a description of the content of educational and educational complex computer and mathematical tasks in certain sections of the university mathematics course for students studying technical specialties at a transport university.

6726 | Modern research sets a new paradigm for the linguistic description of terms as units of special nomination. The emphasis is on the study of dynamic processes covering terminological systems of different subject areas, identifying qualitative changes in the ways of representing domain-specific knowledge. The current paper seeks to identify some specific features of the terminological lexicon of Physics within the framework of an actively developing area of physical research related to the problem of dark matter. The relative novelty of this area, its interdisciplinary and rapidly developing nature result in the complication of its conceptual structure, give rise to certain changes in the formal and semantic representation of special concepts. The focus of this study is on the analytical units of special nomination – multicomponent terms notable for specific combinatorics and semantics of individual components. The study is aimed to identify the lexical and semantic features of this type of terms, determined by linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The collection of lexical material for analysis was carried out not on the basis of dictionaries, as is traditionally the case, but on the basis of English-language publications devoted to dark matter search from highranking scientific journals for 2014 to 2024 years. While randomly selecting the items for analysis the following features of the terminological combinations were taken into account: the ways of their representation in scientific texts (variability of form), the semantic specifics of their individual components. The sample of terms comprises 223 units. The research is based on the method of linguistic description, represented by such techniques as observation and generalization, systematization, quantitative counting, component and semantic analysis. On the basis of the data provided by the study it appeared possible to identify some features of multicomponent terms of the “dark matter” thematic sphere: variability of form of the same concepts represented within the context of one article and in other publications; hybridization of form (combination of verbal components with abbreviations and special symbols); complication of the semantic capacity of terminological combinations due to eponymous and metaphorical components; susceptibility to such semantic processes as synonymy and antonymy. The practical and theoretical significance of the study may consist in the possibility of using theresults obtained to develop the theory of crosscultural scientific communication, to determine patterns for compiling specialized dictionaries and glossaries of physical terms, to design and deliver courses in language for specific purposes, and courses in specialized translation.

6727 | Modern cognitive and discursive linguistics are a direction in linguistics that focuses on the study of the mechanisms of linguistic representation of personality. Within the anthropocentric paradigm, linguistic research takes on a new dimension, focusing on the study of various aspects of human activity and perception of the world through a linguistic prism, as well as the ways an individual interacts with the sociocultural environment through language. The main subject of analysis within this topic is the study of how individual personality traits are manifested in language and how language influences the formation and expression of these characteristics. Discourse, in turn, is a specific linguistic work (text), in which various linguistic means are implemented and interact, thereby reflecting the identity of the author and his relationship with the social environment. Discourse analysis allows us to identify exactly how linguistic personality is manifested in various types of texts, be it public speech, literary work, scientific text or letters. The epistolary of Vladimir Mayakovsky is one of the most significant sources for studying not only the literary heritage of the author, but also the mechanisms of his self-presentation in the context of cultural life of the early 20th century. Writing as a genre, traditionally recognized as secondary in relation to the main literary works, in the context of Mayakovsky’s work acts as a fruitful discursive space where both intellectual and emotional aspects of his creative personality are revealed through the author’s self-presentation. In the course of analyzing the multidimensional factors of V. V. Mayakovsky’s self-presentation, a set of tools used by the author to structure interaction with the recipients of his texts and to present his identity within the framework of epistolary discourse is determined. Attention is focused on the study of techniques for representing personality in a certain discourse. A discursive analysis of the epistolary heritage of V. V. Mayakovsky allows us to identify the specifics of the author’s self-presentation, which was determined not only by the personal ambitions and life experience of the poet, but also by the broad context of the sociocultural changes of the era.

6728 | The fundamental, from the author’s point of view, concepts of linguo-aesthetic analysis of a literary text are considered: expresseme and concept. An expresseme is understood as a component of a literary text that provides the perception of the expressive and figurative qualities of aesthetic linguistic material. A concept is defined as a named linguomental construct, embodied in the language in an associative-semantic field. An artistic concept is defined as a phenomenon that is not fundamentally different from the concept in the linguistic picture of the world, but represents the artistic picture of the world and is explicated by figurative means in the broadest sense. The specificity of the presentation of the conceptsphere of F. Tyutchev’s poetic creativity, which is a clearly organized system, is described. The features of the presentation of the concepts NATURE, GOD, LOVE, SLAVRY in the poetic works of F. Tyutchev are analyzed. The focus is on words and super-word nominations, common to the zone of associativesemantic fields, representing three fundamental concepts for F. Tyutchev: GOD, NATURE, LOVE. The concept NATURE qualifies as the most significant in the conceptual sphere of F. Tyutchev’s poetry. Its explicators are primarily lexical expressemes – words and tropical phrases, as well as small figurative syntactic constructions. It is stated that the ideological and artistic concept of GOD is represented by both traditional verbalizers and expressems. The concept LOVE, despite the significance of its content for the poet and its intersection with the field of the concept NATURE, cannot be considered central in his conceptual sphere. The ideological concept SLAVYNESS, which does not include artistic verbalizers in its field, is nevertheless a significant component of the conceptual sphere of F. Tyutchev’s poetic creativity, since it embodies an extremely important point of view for the poet’s worldview on Slavism as a really existing political and moral phenomenon. Consideration of the specifics of the explication of the concept sphere of F. Tyutchev’s poetry allows us to come to the conclusion that the basis of this conceptsphere is the artistic concept NATURE, the associative-semantic field of which intersects with the fields of the equally significant, but less demonstratively presented concept LOVE and the ideological and artistic concept GOD. The ideological concept SLAVRY is interesting not only because it is not represented by expressemes, but also because its associative-semantic field does not intersect with the fields of other components of the conceptsphere.

6729 | The study of children’s picture of the world is a current trend in cognitive science. A child’s picture of the world is largely based on the adult model, but it also has its own specificity. The analysis of the child’s picture of the world can be based on 1) the study of the child’s language, 2) the reconstruction of basic concepts that are represented in fictional texts, most often the concept of CHILDHOOD is studied. Books written for children are of particular interest in this case. Children’s literature lays the foundation for a child’s view of the world. Writers convey their vision of the child’s world, but emphasize their value orientations. In children’s picture of the world, HOME-dwelling and HOME-family are the most vividly represented concepts. The house is considered an axiological category, inseparable from material and spiritual values. The concept of HOME is simplified in children’s picture of the world. The HOME-dwelling in it is inseparable from the filling: material things, spiritual values. The layer of the concept HOME-family is realized in books for children through the roles of family members: for the younger ones the world of home is not separated from mum and other relatives; for teenagers the value of HOME-family is learnt through losses and conflicts. In literature, the house is often portrayed as a living entity. However, its liveliness is typically associated with its spiritual content for adults and teenagers, while younger children tend to view the house as an animate being.

6730 | The article is devoted to determining the peculiarities of self-identification, i.e. self-understanding, by the standards of the Russian linguoculture. To achieve the goal, the author uses onomasiological, component, conceptual analysis, linguocultural interpretation techniques. A standard is a sign of culture, expressing in verbal form stereotypical ideas about the typical features and qualities of a person. Standards have been proved to be the main means for selfidentification of the subject of culture. They objectify various aspects of a person’s inner world, his/her appearance, social interaction. The article establishes that a standard is an element of people’s identity, the result of the identification process, which is accompanied by the characterization of the subject of culture. These processes are embodied in the internal form of the standard, which is considered as a verbal stereotype reflecting the prototypical representation of the denoted phenomenon. The article reveals that all major cultural codes are involved in the formation of standards. The study identifies productive cultural codes that are used in the identification process. They include anthropomorphic, biomorphic, actional. The standards are represented by the units identifying a person as a kind and on certain aspects of his/her life activity. The formation of standards is carried out on the basis of linguocultural types, archetypal representations or practical human observations of reality phenomena. One verbal stereotype can be the basis of different standards. A standard can fix a deviation from the norm, indicating the norm for good or bad. The majority of standards are characterized by pejorative evaluativeness. The research discovers that the standards of anthropomorphic code of culture serve to objectify ideas about types of people oriented towards the inner world or material values. Anthropomorphic stereotypes pointing to social attributes identify features of a person in the context of social relations. Biomorphic stereotypes are based on archetypal knowledge or practical observations. The majority of units of this group record a deviation from the norm or pattern and include a negative evaluation in their meaning, which is explained by the interpretation of the animal as an ersatz human being. Units with positive evaluation dominate among the standards with the image “Bird”. Verbal stereotypes of plants are unproductive and are used mainly to objectify negative aspects. In fetish standards, value and functional characteristics of the object, as well as feelings from contact with it, become significant. Human standards formed on the basis of actional attributes embody ideas about the behavioural norms accepted in the Russian culture. The standards of the animic code reflect the immersion of a person in the context of nature, the feeling of being a part of it.

6731 | The article is devoted to the study of the harlequinade grotesque in works whose main characters are Anglo-Saxon picaras – Roxana from the novel of the same name by Daniel Defoe (“Roxana”, 1724) and Truman Capote’s character Ottilie from “The House of Flowers” (1950). The relevance of the study is due to the recent increased interest of literary scholars in the works of Defoe and Capote, as well as the stable appeal of foreign literary scholars to the interpretation of literary prose through the lens of the aesthetics of commedia dell’arte. For the first time, a comparison is made of the two picaras with their “progenitor” – Columbine from сommedia dell’arte, and parallels are revealed between the plot collisions in the prose of Defoe and Capote with the commedia and harlequinade plots. The typological similarity of Roxana and Ottilie with Columbine, as well as Royal Bonaparte and Roxanne’s husband with Harlequin is established. Allusions to mythological and theatrical plots in “Roxana” are identified, allowing us to talk about references in the text to the tradition of English pantomime, which synthesized mythology and harlequinade. Roxana is like the eternally young and beautiful Aphrodite, and her lovers – the brewer, the jeweler, the prince and the merchant – are endowed with the traits of Dionysus, Hephaestus, Adonis and Hermes, respectively. In “The House of Flowers” there are allusions to the Italian fairy tale “Prunella” and the commedia play by L. Houseman and H. G. Barker “Prunella, or Love in a Dutch Garden” (1906). In Ottilie’s features one can discern the Italian beauty Prunella, who defeated her evil witch mother-in-law, and Columbine with her “flower” name (a columbine is an aquilegia), and the image of Royal Bonaparte refers us to the handsome Bensiabel from “Prunella” and Harlequin. The terrible and the farcical are intertwined in the fate of Ottilie, which, as in the case of Roxanne, allows us to talk about the presence of harlequinade grotesque in the works of Defoe and Capote. The author of the article highlights such functions of this artistic technique as unfolding the metaphor of the world as theater and building a dialogue with the literary and theatrical traditions of the past.

6732 | The ways of conveying metaphors of two directions are analyzed: loneliness – death and loneliness – desert. The conducted research made it possible to reveal the main part of the metaphorical layer of the concept of “loneliness” in the original novel and to identify the features of its formation. Consideration of the transformations used in the transfer of metaphorical content made it possible to reveal the features of this concept in the translation version. The purpose of the article is to analyze the ways of conveying the expression of the metaphorical content of the concept of “loneliness” in the Russian translation of the novel by G. G. Marquez “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, performed by M. I. Bylinkina. The novelty is determined by the fact that in the stated aspect the text of the novel was not considered and the results of the analysis will contribute to a comprehensive, complete study of the novel, including in the aspect of translation studies. The material for the analysis is the original text of the novel by G. G. Marquez in Spanish and the text of his translation by M. I. Bylinkina. Metaphors included in the concept of “loneliness” and methods of their translation into Russian are analyzed. The descriptive method and the method of comparative analysis, the method of metaphorical modeling are used. The statistics of the used translation transformations were revealed: contextual replacement – 15, generalization – 13, specification – 5, replacement of parts of speech – 8, replacement of sentence members – 6, replacement of word forms – 4, literal translation – 3 uses. The translator most often uses the technique of contextual substitution, transforming a metaphor or part of it into a lexeme with a different semantics. The technique of generalization contributes to changing the periphery of the concept, expanding its meaning, which leads to semantic blurriness. Frequent use of the technique of concretization (narrowing of meaning) leads to the conclusion that in translation the image of loneliness is expressed to a lesser extent, due to the choice of lexemes with a less negative connotation and others with a narrower meaning. The desert is characterized through a desert of disappointment and oblivion; deserted streets, deserted ruins, a desert of mirages, a desert of loneliness, love, glory. Death – through mourning, desolation, cessation of communication, unbearable loneliness, oblivion, lack of response, immersion in loneliness, abandonment, melancholy, cyclicality and inseparability of death and loneliness, an endless labyrinth of loneliness, widowhood without death, damnation, isolation.

6733 | In connection with the transition to new educational standards, there is a search for effective teaching methods and techniques that form a number of competencies necessary for professional activities. Representatives of different countries receive education in Russian higher educational institutions, for whom education begins with the study of the Russian language, therefore this discipline can be considered the basis for the development of competencies outlined in the Federal State Educational Standard. An analysis of normative documentation organizing the educational process at a university showed the importance of developing critical thinking among graduates receiving vocational education, so the article examined the meaning of the concept of “critical thinking.” The purpose of this article is to present the development of such methodological material that will contribute to the formation of this type of thinking, as well as motivation to study Russian as a foreign language. Studying the concepts of critical thinking and visualization, how these terms are presented in the scientific works of various authors, made it possible to systematize their meaning in order to create visual materials used in practical classes. The article discusses the importance of visualizing grammatical material for the development of critical thinking in the process of studying the discipline “Russian as a Foreign Language”. To improve the quality of the results of studying the Russian language when considering its grammatical structure, it is proposed to use supporting logical-communicative schemes in practical classes, which contribute not only to the formation of critical thinking, but also develop the communication skills of foreign students. The proposed scheme options can become the basis for teachers to create their own developments for lessons in which the grammar of not only the Russian language, but also other foreign languages is studied.

6734 | The article, for the first time in linguodidactics, comprehends the methodology of using the calendar as a genre of printed materials with the aim of creating an artificial language environment when teaching a foreign language. The practical significance of the article lies in the description of ways to introduce different types of calendars into educational communication in foreign language class. The creation of an artificial language environment in classes on Russian as a foreign language is a necessary condition for compensating for the lack of communication in the foreign language being studied in the absence of a natural language environment. In addition to the methods and techniques for organizing an artificial language environment already discovered by methods of teaching foreign languages, we propose to use the calendar genre. The practice of modern domestic didactics shows the active use of interactive calendars in teaching Russian as a foreign language, but the methodology for its use has not previously been comprehended. A review of accumulated experience and analysis showed the high activity of the calendar genre as a means of organizing an artificial language environment. We conducted an experiment on introducing a medical interactive calendar into teaching Russian as a foreign language to medical university students (general language proficiency level A2). The results of the experiment give grounds to assert that the thematic calendar as a teaching tool helps to implement many tasks: introduce elements of subject teaching in classes in Russian as a foreign language (general profile), update “passive” vocabulary and bring it into students’ speech; both paper and interactive versions of the calendar have high potential in organizing an artificial language environment: students contact the calendar on a daily basis, accessing up-to-date information about the current day of the week/month/year; the use of a calendar in classes on Russian as a foreign language also contributes to the development of cross-cultural communication skills, providing students with reasons to establish contact in the form of congratulations on a particular holiday to teachers and foreign-speaking friends.

6735 | The role and place of Gogol’s heritage in the literary process at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries are one of the pressing issues in modern Gogol studies. The works of modern authors are introduced into the scientific field, which make it possible to identify the mechanisms of dialogue, appropriation and development of the Gogol tradition. And this determines the research interest in this issue. The purpose of the study is to identify and consider the semantics and function of the image of a little man, genetically dating back to the image of Gogol’s Bashmachkin, and the accompanying plot elements in the works of writers at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries. The novelty of the research is ensured, firstly, by the analysis of artistic material that has not previously been introduced into scientific circulation, and secondly, the semantics and function of the “overcoat text” in the artistic structure of specific works of the literary era of the 20th–21st centuries are revealed. The works of modern authors were used as material: the stories by E. Chizhova “Nyutochkin’s House” (2008) and E. Dolgopiat “The Victim” (2015), M. Bogayev’s play “Bashmachkin” (2003). The selected works belong to different aesthetic and genre forms and the point of convergence between them is their dialogical reinterpretation of the narrative elements of the story’s artistic system based on mystical and religious traditions. The works actualize interest in Gogol’s narrative principles of the novel, built on the harmonious “translation” of the ethical (the value system of religious-teacher culture) into the aesthetic. In E. Chizhova’s story “Nyutochkin’s House” the novella “The overcoat” is understood as a metaphor for the St. Petersburg text. The plot of the protagonist in its semantic two-layeredness, socio-historical and biblical-mythological, appears as an eternal St. Petersburg plot, which is a part of the general mythological semiosphere of the St. Petersburg text. In O. Bogayev’s play, the reception of the fantastic finale of the novel “The overcoat” is rewritten using elements of the poetics of the theater of the absurd and it is focused on the problem of the moral choice of the hero, who assumes the role of the initiator of the Last Judgment. In the story by E. Dolgopyat, the reception of the plot episodes of the story “meeting with a significant person” and “punitive fantastic ending” actualizes and transforms the understanding of the theme of the social world and the social individual, which do not correspond to the ethical ideal.

6736 | The article is devoted to the analysis of the associative-verbal field of the concept 人工智能 / artificial intelligence. The object of the study is the actualization of the concept 人工智能 / artificial intelligence in the consciousness of modern native Chinese speakers. The purpose of the study is to determine the key elements of the concept representation and model its associative-verbal field. The material of the study was the associates to the stimulus word 人工智能 / artificial intelligence, obtained as a result of a psycholinguistic experiment. The article uses the methods of free associative experiment, quantitative analysis, and classification technique. The study generalizes approaches to the concept 人工智能 / artificial intelligence and expands knowledge about its national and cultural features. The results of the study can be successfully applied in the process of teaching Russian and Chinese as foreign languages, in courses on psycholinguistics and cognitive lin-guistics, and also have practical value for all those interested in the culture of China. The associates obtained as a result of the free associative experiment are distributed among semantic modules based on the commonality of the features they express. Semantic modules, in turn, can include micromodules. The constructed model of the associative-verbal field of the concept under study includes the core, intermediate and peripheral layers, in which the most frequent reactions reflect a positive attitude towards the capabilities of artificial intelligence and represent the rapid pace of development, efficiency and continuous improvement of its technologies. As a result of the analysis of the model of the associative-verbal field of the concept 人工智能 / artificial intelligence, the structure of the meaning of this concept was revealed among representatives of various social groups, confirming their optimistic attitude towards the potential of artificial intelligence. The data of the associative experiment expand and complement the existing understanding of the representation of the concept 人工智能 / artificial intelligence in the mental lexicon of Chinese speakers; they must be taken into account when compiling explanatory dictionaries and dictionary entries.

6737 | Nature, and especially water resources, play a huge role in the lives of indigenous peoples who rely on natural environments for their sustenance. Water is an integral part of the culture and traditions of the Khakas people, and the names of various types of water, defining their purpose, are passed down from generation to generation. This article explores the use of field structure theory to analyze the lexical group of water-landscape terms in the Khakass language. The main principles of field structure theories are discussed, such as the core and periphery positions in the field. The article also examines the experience of using the theory of grammatical and lexical fields in the works of E.V. Gulyga, A.V. Bondarko, lexical typology of V.Yu. Apresyan and E.V. Rakhilina. The main focus is on the analysis of hydro-landscape vocabulary, which belongs to an important layer of vocabulary in any language. The study is conducted on the material of the Khakass language and includes an analysis of lexemes denoting water bodies found in electronic and printed dictionaries and in Khakass heroic epics “Ay-khuuchin” and “Altyn Aryg”. The study also examines the origin and use of various lexemes to denote rivers (such as sug, us / uus, talay) in the Khakass language. The analysis of linguistic material allowed to construct the lexical-semantic field of hydrolandscape vocabulary of the Khakass language. At the core is the archilexeme sug meaning ‘water, river’. The nearcore zone consists of simple words denoting constant typical water bodies (talay ‘large river’, kōl ‘lake’, etc.). The near periphery includes complex and compound lexical units expressing the meaning of “permanent water bodies” (ylbañ sas ‘swamp’, ylbañ chir ‘marshy place, swamp’, etc.). The far periphery is composed of lexemes denoting temporary water bodies, including those created by humans (salbykh ‘puddle’, arǵaǯakh ‘ditch, small channel’, etc.). The results of the study help to better understand the structure and relationships between lexical units of waterlandscape theme and apply the acquired knowledge for further lexicological research.

6738 | Foreign postgraduates, having entered the Lomonosov MSU philological faculty, encounter not only the General Literary Russian but also Russian for Special Purposes “Philology. Linguistics. Literature Studies”. As far as most of them have had vast experience in using the General Literary Russian, Russian for Special Purposes has been put into the limelight. And this course includes not only broadening the Subject Knowledge but also training the concrete mental actions, necessary for the postgraduates being the researchers. Above mentioned Special Course involves new Simple Sentence classification, lacking so far in Russian for Foreigners (RFF) textbooks and manuals. This classification, based on the statement type, has thus got the logical foundation. This way 7 senses relevant for the scientific speech style and being expressed exclusively via Simple Sentence Structures, have been revealed. And each of them corresponds to the concrete scientific work stage. The article deals with such elements of the scientific research as: a) confirmation of the object existence insome sphere; b) object nomination; c) revealing the object features and defining the differential feature; d) object qualification; e) object internal structure defining; f) classification of the objects, being found; g) constructing the objects` hierarchy. Language means (lexical and Syntax), necessary for their description, are being analyzed. Investigation results. 10 main mental actions, necessary for the foreign postgraduate during his working out the thesis are brought to light, and the training tasks` typology for accomplishing these actions is attached to them. The list of logical-semantic criteria actual for choosing the Simple Sentence Verbal Predicate is also presented. Theoretical Significance.

6740 | The main goal of creative tasks in linguodidactics is productive writing that transforms objects and situations or presents them in a new quality to solve real or imaginary problematic tasks related to verbal communication. The conditions of the creative task simulate a situation that requires the writer to imagine himself as a participant in communication in a certain role, and this can stimulate creative productive activity. Creative tasks that imply the need to create a productive text focused on a certain speech genre are appropriate for the task of teaching students of the medical and biological profile Russian as a foreign language. To set educational tasks on creative imitation of speech genres for foreign students of the medical and biological profile, one can use educational and popular science genres of medical discourse (calendars, booklets, infographics, posters); journalistic genres (publication in a blog or social network in the genre of “notes of a young doctor/scientist”, creation of aphorisms/captions for memes on medical topics, expansion of quotes and creation of comics on medical topics, etc.) and everyday genres (diary, leisure board games on medical topics, etc.). Unlike the genres of medical documentation, which imply a formally organized structure, the above-mentioned genres allow a free combination of genre parameters together with an individual author’s composition of information elements. Using the method of systemic modeling of the logical-semantic and compositional structure of the text, a model of a speech genre was developed, which participated in a sociological and pedagogical experiment, which made it possible to determine the linguodidactic potential of tasks based on creative writing aimed at mastering Russian as a foreign language in the field of educational medical communication. As a result, it was revealed that when performing creative tasks based on creative writing, independent identification of problems occurs in situations requiring the work of search, heuristic thinking. The linguodidactic potential of tasks based on creative imitation of the speech genre is that it develops flexibility and originality of thinking, the ability to generate hypotheses is formed, and the communicative competence of the future professional in the field of medicine develops.

6741 | The article analyzes the linguistic means of expressing the sensual perception of Siberia in the regional poetic text. The material for the research is the poems by M. V. Andreev that make up the collection "On the Mother’s Side", the contexts tied to the Siberian region and the city of Tomsk were selected by the method of continuous sampling. The work was carried out within the framework of the sociocultural approach to the study of regional art texts; the analysis of the linguistic material, its systematization and interpretation were carried out on the basis of the main provisions of perceptual linguistics, lexical semantics and functional text stylistics. In the process of research, the methods of contextual, semantic and stylistic analysis of the poetic text were used. The lexical-semantic groups forming the perceptual image of Siberia in M. V. Andreev’s poems were identified and the pictorial and expressive means used by the author were analyzed. In the process of linguistic modeling of the image, the author implements a wide range of linguistic means with perceptual semantics, characterizing the corresponding fragment of the author’s individual poetic worldview. The perceptual image of Siberia can be defined as a "macro-image" including various "micro-images": "silence", "darkness", "cold" and their "interaction" in the process of textual deployment. The research has shown that perceptual units realize certain author’s tasks: the poet seeks to describe the reality around him and convey his worldview. Synesthetic combinations found in M. V. Andreev’s poetic texts demonstrate a high degree of interpenetration of different types of perception. Somatisms play an important role in the process of linguistic modeling. The analysis of words that have the meaning of color, showed the dominance of green color, which indicates the life-affirming nature of perception of Siberian nature and is associated with spring, life and youth. As a result of the research it was determined that personifications, comparisons and metaphors are regularly used to create sensory tension. Among perceptual metaphors, the most popular are word combinations having visual, auditory and tactile bases, metaphorical images of perception are often constructed on antithesis. The linguistic analysis of M. V. Andreev’s imagery system in the perceptual aspect allowed us to reveal both traditional characteristics and individual features of the author’s poetic worldview.

6742 | The subject of modern professional competencies of translators and interpreters and relevancy of them adjustment in the era of the progress in machine translation and artificial intelligence are discussed. The problem of correlation of translation and MT-editing is defined; the question of changing the status of the translator and the authorship of the products is also raised. The point of the requirement to notice that translation/ interpreting was made by artificial intelligence is debatable. The ethical and confidential considerations of translation when using artificial intelligence technology are the important aspects considered in the article. Under present conditions of increased competition in the market of higher education, when words about the disappearance of the translators are becoming more insistent and a post-editor of ma chine translation, who will only need to learn how to use machine translation tools in simple professional training or additional education courses, is the most likely successor, the problem of translators’/ interpreters’ studies is strongly focused. Thus situated the key criteria for measuring of effectiveness of performance is the competence of a MT-post-editor to evaluate how accurate an AI-assisted translation is. Particularly notes that there are a number of areas in which artificial intelligence does not outperform human intelligence, therefore not be able in the near future to replace a human translator: for example, literary translation, namely translation of poetry, translation from ancient languages (Latin, ancient Greek) and medieval literature translation. In the case of literary translation, weak productivity of artificial intelligence relates to the problem of transfer of the pragmatic component, and in the context of ancient texts – the lack of database for teaching artificial intelligence. Thus, the importance of union of classical training in translation and acquisition of modern translation technologies for the successful integration of graduates into the professional sphere is emphasized.

6743 | The study was carried out in the culturological aspect and is aimed at identifying the onomastic specifics of the appellative onyms Янтарь in the onomastic space of the Kaliningrad Region, which is known as the Amber Region due to about 90% of the world’s amber reserves concentration. The empirical base of the study consisted of 104 Янтарь onyms, extracted by a continuous sampling method from electronic directories of regional topographical objects, the state register of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, internet publications, as well as recorded during field research. The material was studied using general scientific methods (analysis, comparison, generalization, observation), elements of linguistic-cultural and sociolinguistic methods, a descriptive method, quantitative calculations, and a questionnaire, whose respondents were students of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. It is shown that the onymization of the appellative янтарь is a sustainable onym formation process in the Kaliningrad Region’s onomasticon resulting in creation of onyms related not only to the amber industry, but also to a wide range of objects that are not connected with mining, processing, sale, and popularization of amber. It was found that the “amber” cluster actualizes the namesake emporonyms, which are formed by the direct method of nomination and are characterized by a direct connection with the referent, absolute motivation, and informativeness, while the “non-amber” cluster includes homonymous onyms of various onomastic categories represented by ergonyms (including emporonyms and trapezonyms), gemeronyms, poreonyms, single oikodomonym and felisonym, which are formed by the symbolic method of nomination and are characterized by irrelevance to the referent, lack of motivation, and non-informativeness in case of nomenclature indicator absence. Onym Янтарь in the onomasticon of the Kaliningrad Region turns to be a productive image name-symbol, the specific features of which are the variety and multi-scale nature of referents (consisting in the ability of onym Янтарь to name both significant regional-forming objects and small business objects), dynamic functioning, onomastic activity, and non-closed onomastic potential.

6744 | In modern linguistics, the study of the language of war is in the focus of attention of many scientists and it has developed a new complex research direction. Our article is a part of a multivariate study of the language of modern media discourse. We intend to describe derivational processes and analyze certain aspects of the Telegram channels linguistic content. Turning to the language of a special military operation allows us to study the peculiarities of mediacommunicative aggression, which we interpret as a set of lexical means of negative evaluation to express an unpleasant or hostile attitude. The work scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time we have made an attempt to analyze the vectors of the phraseological units linguocreative potential realization in the context of the war language as well as the derivational features of linguistic units resulting from contamination have been considered. The methodological basis for studying the language of a special military operation was a synthesis of methods of derivatology, lexicology, stylistics and linguocognitive approach. Of great importance is the method of quantitative analysis, we have used it to determine the frequency of new forms usage and thus to ensure the study objectivity. The material for the study was the nominative units presented by the author’s card formed on the basis of telegram channels analyzing the events of a special military operation. We have considered linguocreativity as the lexical unit linguistic potential aimed at achieving the given communicative goals. The material for the study was provided with the nominative units extracted by continuous sampling means from the most popular Telegram channels covering the events of the special military operation. We considered linguocreativity as transformation of the words and word combinations meaning available in the language in order to achieve an emotional or pragmatic effect. The result of word formation is nominative units that affect the consciousness and perception of reality by a person. The derivational characteristics of these units and the main directions of the implementation of hybrid words in the language of popular Telegram channels are studied in the context of compressive word formation. Contamination is an important linguistic phenomenon used in speech as a way of expressing the addressee’s thought. It gives expressiveness to an utterance or text and emphasizes the necessary semantic accents. Linguistic units contamination is one of the main sources of expanding the language lexical level and it serves to increase the expressiveness of media texts, as well as attracting the attention to the most urgent social problems, including the special military operation events.

6745 | In the period of threat to the national sovereignty of the country, awareness of the value of the Motherland through the education and upbringing system will serve as the mobilizing force that will help us confront the challenges of the present time. However, numerous teachers are experiencing some problems in realization of the tasks of the patriotic education in general; and in particular, in developing the Motherland’s image during foreign language lessons. The teachers of European languages are suffering from specific difficulties in terms of maintaining fierce information war. The aim of the study was to rethink traditional approaches to organizing patriotic education in foreign language classes, the core of which is the formation of a personality that values its Motherland. The objectives of the research are in the study of the national experience of Motherland’s image development during foreign language lessons; underpinning of the importance to review longstanding norms in accordance with the current situation; the elaboration of new approaches in the development of patriotic education which will satisfy today’s requirements. The main directions of the research were constructed on the basis of empirical data results and the methods of comparison, generalization and analysis of literature data. The material of the research is the results of the practical experience of teaching the discipline ‘Foreign language’ to the students of linguistic faculties. The formation of the image of the Motherland in foreign language lessons should be based on the following principles: 1. Preservation of continuity. Work on patriotic education in foreign language lessons should be based on the best traditions of the national system of upbringing and education. 2. Formation of a holistic image of the Motherland. For a long time, knowledge about our country was transmitted fragmentarily and, as a rule, was only supplemented with some information about the country of the language being studied. It is important once again to assess the content of major disciplines with the aim to fill in the gaps which were made earlier and did not allow to see the multi-faceted image of the country. 3. The creation of a positive image of the country. It is essential to revise the curriculum with the aim to decently and informally cover the heritage of the country in specific sectors of economy and in the world landscape. 4. The development of the skill to criticize constructively by providing a weighted and critical analysis of the disadvantages, by being able to provide positive as well as negative sides. 5. The motivation to define the student’s personal opinion as an active citizen in our society. 6. The encouragement of the students’ proactivity. 7. The revealing of the most significant contemporary issues which require the youth active participation comprises the basis of the relevance principle. A special role in this paper is attributed to the personality of a teacher who develops the need to know more about their country; enables the formation of spiritual youth’s experience which serves as a basis for developing the feeling of love to Homeland; forms the sense of belonging to the common activity; teaches to see the ways to realize their own possibilities in favor of the motherland. On the contemporary stage it is important to be aware of the significance of the individual algorithm to the acquisition of the Motherland’s image among students, as well as the skills not only in presenting this image to a representative of another culture but also in guarding the interests of the Motheland’s image.

6746 | This research is devoted to the identification of the most frequent grammatical transformations used in translating texts of information genres from Russian into English. The material of the study is the texts posted on the website of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and their translations into English. The total volume of the study is 94 sentences in English and Russian. The research has been conducted using general scientific methods, namely: analysis and synthesis, generalization, classification, quantitative method, as well as linguistic methods: descriptive, comparative, method of contextual analysis of translation. The relevance of the research is defined by the need to study ap proaches to the translation of texts posted on websites as a modern form of communication, as well as grammatical transformations when translating from Russian into English in view of the limited number of studies devoted to this aspect. The author has attempted to analyze the ways of translating texts of information genres at the two upper levels of language – the level of text and the level of utterance. In the course of the study, the author has found that the summary translation is used for texts of such genres. The type of translation is selective. The analysis of the utterance level is structured according to the classification of grammatical transformations used in translation. The research identifies the main grammatical transformations used in translating texts of information genres at the syntactic level. The most frequent are grammatical substitutions (change of a sentence member, change of a part of speech, change of a word form). Syntactic assimilation or literal translation is used less frequently. The rarest grammatical transformations include: sentence partitioning (both external and internal) and sentence integration. Grammatical substitutions are often accompanied by other transformations (both grammatical and lexical). This study does not only identify the most frequent grammatical transformations, but also analyzes the reasons for their use and provides theoretical explanations of the specifics of the identified grammatical transformations.

6747 | The study of axiological sphere and means of its representation is one of the up-to-date problems of linguistics. This is especially true for the study of media communication in view of the communicative-cognitive scientific paradigm and the media vector of Russian studies’ development. The interpretation of value dominants in the discourses of public personalities is of interest as an object of perception of the mass addressee and influence on him. The aim of the article is to define language representation of value dominants of the participants of the author program "Very personal" on the channel "Open Television of Russia", taking into account the structure, content and pragmatics of the media discourse of the program. The study of discursive practices of the guest and the host is based on the theory of regulation, developed in the communicative stylistics of the text. This study includes the use of discursive and semantic-stylistic analysis. The material of the study is the release of the program "Very personal" on the channel "OTR" with the participation of People’s Artist of the USSR Vladimir Vasiliev. The means of representing the value picture of the world of a person are the following: explicit and implicit, linguistic and extralinguistic, including nonverbal behavior. The characteristic linguistic regulatory means and structures of the discourse of the participants of the "Very Personal" program, which have a communicative-pragmatic impact, include: melioration evaluative vocabulary, stylistic devices of repetition, gradation, antithesis, syntactic parallelism, rhetorical questions and exclamations, making clear the value picture of the world of the guest and the journalist. The guest’s discourse is characterized by the usage of semantic text paradigms of the synonymous type, actualizing the value dominants of the personality, first of all, complete dedication in creative work. The explicit regulatory strategy of the intensifying-convergent type in the discourses of Vladimir Vasiliev and the host of the author’s program allows the recipient to form an integral idea of their values and preferences. Gestures and facial expressions, look, appearance and communication environment of the program participants as the extralinguistic means of representing the value picture of the world are considered. We interpret value dominants in the discourse of a language personality as the conjugation of various linguistic and non-linguistic signals that directly or indirectly intensify value meanings that are important to the personality and characteristic of it. It was determined that the regulatory means and structures represent the value meanings of the program guest: complete dedication to creative work, service to society, loyalty to a lifework, honesty, modesty, love, sincerity, the desire to give joy, etc. Numerous comments from listeners and viewers of the program confirm that these value dominants were perceived by the audience. The regulatory theory’s use allows to specify the peculiarities of the representation of the value picture of the world of media communication participants, which was demonstrated using the example of the author’s program "Very Personal" by Viktor Loshak on Public Television of Russia. The results of analysis are of interest for axiological linguistics, media linguistics, theory and practice of speech communication.

6749 | The study of the media discourse of public linguistic personalities belongs to the relevant areas of modern linguistics. Of particular interest is the analysis of interviews with the participation of the writer as a creative personality with a special worldview and the ability to focus on the mass addressee. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of the communicative style of the creative media linguistic personality of the writer based on his speech behavior in interviews. The article analyzes the material of 4 interviews in 2013-2023 with the participation of Tatyana Efremovna Meiko, a member of the Union of Writers of Russia. The research was carried out in line with communicative stylistics using the theory of regularity developed within the framework of this direction and using methods of discursive analysis, semantic-stylistic, contextual analysis and experiment based on a survey of informants. It is established that in the interview T. Meiko reveals herself as a creative, emotional, passionate person, constantly on the lookout, able to support young writers by sharing his experience. In interviews, the author often uses communicative strategies of influence, self-presentation, positive attitude, openness, and trust. This is reflected in the verbal and non-verbal behavior of the individual, including phonation features, gestures and facial expressions. It is revealed that the writer in public media communication is characterized by a figurative metaphorical style, which manifests itself in the use of vivid regulatory means (metaphors, epithets, comparisons), as well as stylistic techniques of repetition, contrast, rhetorical questions and exclamations. Of the regulatory strategies in the writer’s discourse, strong explicit regulatory strategies of a mixed sequential-convergent type prevail in terms of uniformity / heterogeneity of the regulatory tools used, performing one function. The experiment on the recognition of the writer and his perception as a person and participant in the interview showed that most of the participants in the experiment know Tatiana Meiko and assess her as a creative person, open to positive communication, capable of emotionally influencing the recipient. The theory of regularity makes it possible to reveal the individual author’s peculiarities of the communicative style of the writer’s public linguistic personality, to identify communication strategies characteristic of it, as well as various means and methods of effective influence on the addressee.

6750 | The reception of Dostoevsky’s works in the context of postmodern literature and philosophy constitutes a promising direction in English-language Slavistics of the XXI century. Scholarly works considered belong predominantly to slavists from the USA, but are not limited to such. These studies draw upon modern literary works, influenced by F. M. Dostoevsky (Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, Master of St. Petersburg and Diary of a Bad Year by J. M. Coetzee, and A Curse on Dostoevsky by Atiq Rahimi) and works of the Russian classic himself (The Double, The Karamazoff Brothers, and The Meek One). M. M. Bakhtin’s polyphonic theory links Dostoevsky’s works, works of contemporary authors, influenced by Dostoevsky, and postmodern prose. Concepts such as splitting into doubles, levelling of hierarchies, substitution of the authentic by simulacra, and deconstruction of religious and ethical meaning evoke special research interest. University of Macau Professor Peter Mathews (China) points out that the splitting of Yakov Golyadkin’s personality into doubles becomes one of the first examples of a shattering consciousness, common in postmodernist prose. Brown University Professor Svetlana Evdokimova (USA) claims that Dostoevsky created the first characters, who proclaimed a future era of simulacra. Professor of Purchase College Nina Pelikan Straus (USA) considers similarities between the religious beliefs of F. M. Dostoevsky and Jacques Derrida. She concludes that Bakhtin’s theory links the deconstruction of religious meaning with its unspoken affirmation in dialogue. University of Georgia Professor Alexander Spektor (USA) contrasts the protagonist of The Meek One with narrators of W. Gombrowitz’s postmodernist novels. PhD. student Michael Bowden (UK) finds a tendency towards metaphysical nostalgia in works of modern literature, influenced by Dostoevsky. Thus, such English-language studies of the XXI century exhibit two contradictory tendencies: some researchers emphasize the common ground between postmodern literature and Dostoevsky’s works; others believe the Russian classic’s legacy to offset to the breakdown of ethical and religious meaning, characteristic of postmodern literature.
