Linguistic and Extralinguistic Factors of Brand Name Formation in Kazakhstan

The current research considers the basics of the formation of brand names from linguistic and extralinguistic aspects. The material of the study was the brand names of Kazakh manufacturers. The interpretation of the term brand as an object of linguistic research is presented, the functions of brand names as a type of commercial nomination are identified and considered as nominative, informative, differentiating, aesthetic, influential and attractive. At the same time, special attention is paid to the types of brand names: by structure, by degree of expression, by origin, by degree of formality and by degree of motivation. The analysis of lexical material made it possible to differentiate linguistic factors that have a decisive influence on the process of brand name formation, including phonetic, graphic, lexical, stylistic, semantic and morphological aspects. Among the extra-linguistic factors, the cultural context, competitive environment, target audience, features of the national character, purpose and pragmatics were identified. The methods of name formation were studied, among which the most frequent were nomination according to the anthropological criterion, as well as the use of Kazakh vocabulary, neologisms and foreign words. The analysis and interpretation of the factual material from the sociolinguistic aspect made it possible to identify language units that represent the processes that take place in modern society: the revival of public interest in national culture and language, the strengthening of the position of the state language and the involvement of Kazakhstani society in the processes of globalization.

Formation of the norm in the morphology and syntax in Indian national variant of the English language

The article examines the morphology and syntax of English in India, which deserves special study from a linguistic and literary point of view. The development of literary English in India is caused by certain linguistic, social and cultural phenomena which can be attributed to extra-linguistic factors. The authors of the article, based on the study of factual and theoretical material, come to the conclusion that for a certain time the functioning of the English language as the language of interethnic communication in India, a new version of the English language is emerging against the background of the interaction of the native and English. Thus one can observe the overall process shaped by both intra- and extra-linguistic factors that caused the formation of the particular national variant of the English language. Sociolinguistic factors, though important, are so-called because they represent an interaction between linguistic and social factors. Such an interaction of social and linguistic factors in India may also lead to the formation of the norm of English in India, the obvious signs of which, at least in morphology and syntax, have already been noted. Keywords: British English, Indian English, morphology, norm, Standard English, syntax.

ВЕРБАЛИЗАЦИЯ СЕМАНТИКИ КАЖИМОСТИ И ПРИТВОРСТВА В ТУВИНСКИХ ФОЛЬКЛОРНЫХ И СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ТЕКСТАХ

The article examines grammaticalized comparative constructions of the Tuvan language, identified in texts of different genres. Particular attention is paid to the comparison standard marker. The purpose of the study is to identify and interpret the main means of expressing pretense and appearances in Tuvan texts, both modern and folklore. The relevance of the study is determined by the insufficient knowledge of the semantics of pretense and the increased interest in the study of the traditional and cultural characteristics of the linguistic consciousness of representatives of various ethnic groups. It seems relevant to show what lexical units can verbalize the semantics of appearance. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time, comparative structures were studied using the material of the Tuvan language and semantic types of markers of the specified semantics in folklore and modern texts were identified. The main research methods are the descriptive method and the structural modeling method. As a result of the study, comparative structures expressing both real and unreal comparison were identified and interpreted. In constructions of unreal comparison, the situation presented to the dependent predicative unit (DPU) does not take place in reality. It is arbitrarily constructed as a subjective interpretation of what is reported in the main predicative unit (GPU). This fictitious, unreal event becomes the standard comparisons for a real event expressed in MPU. The main means of marking modal meanings in the system of real comparison in the Tuvan language are comparatives: yshkash ‘like’; deg ‘like’. The same markers are also noted in unreal structures. Marking of unreal semantics is carried out in Tuvan folklore texts with multifunctional forms from the verb bol = ‘to be’ (boop, boor, etc.). The semantic invariant of such constructions is ‘pretend that...’. In addition, syntactic constructions of the predicate are widely used, expressing the relationship of the communicated or the message itself to reality with the postpositions deg, yshkash. It was established that the folklore texts under consideration use the same methods of expressing comparative relations that have been identified for the modern Tuvan language. However, the qualitative side (the complex of means and the nature of their functioning) and the quantitative side (the frequency of use of these units) are determined by the purpose of communication and depend on specific extralinguistic factor.

The Concept of “Dreams (While Sleeping)” in the Proverbial Context of the Russian and Kyrgyz Languages

This article conducts a linguistic and cultural analysis of proverbial expressions, we tried to identify the specifics of linguistic verbalization of the linguistic and cultural concept of “dreams (while sleeping) / сон (Russian) / түш (Kyrgyz)” in the Russian and Kyrgyz linguistic proverbial space. The combination of sustainable forms produces a proverbial space of language, which reflects the entire history of life, way of life and experience, folk observations, conclusions, traditions and customs of each nation. By conducting linguistic studies of each language, linguists identify the ethnocultural characteristics of each language, depending on such extralinguistic factors as: geographical location, mental processes in the consciousness of a certain ethnic group and worldview. The relevance of this survey is the importance of the linguistic and cultural concepts, semantic descriptions of the features of Russian and Kyrgyz paroemia, which are an integral part of the national linguistic picture of the world. The concepts of “dreams (while sleeping) / сон (Russian) / туш (Kyrgyz)” considered by are an important state of human existence, the basic concept of any linguistic culture.

LINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS' SPEECH CULTURE

This article discusses the linguistic aspects of the formation of students' speech culture. The special role of sections of linguistics in the culture of speech is determined. A review and analysis of the work of foreign and domestic linguists and methodologists was carried out. Within the framework of the new directions of the language, we are talking about the basic principles and methods that are used and guided in the development of the language manifestations of the student's speech culture. In our article, we pay attention to the opinions of such scientists as: N.Uali, B.Kaliuly, M.Balakaev, F.Orazbaeva, Zh.Dauletbekova and others. It is confirmed that the level of the student's personal culture should be differentiated in forming and developing the student's speech culture. We will focus on such concepts as the relationship between word culture and personal culture, language purity and language communication, literary language norm, language culture, and study their interrelationship. It will be confirmed that word culture is one of the Kazakh national values. Conclusions are made for opinions on the correct use of common language materials and vocabulary. We should not forget that such sections of linguistics as: grammar, lexicology and phraseology play a very important role in the formation and development of students' speech culture. Because it can be assumed that a student who understands the basic laws and rules of language layers can also improve their speech culture. Of course, the influence of extralinguistic factors cannot be ruled out. However, it is an unshakable axiom that the sections of linguistics are directly related to the concept of speech culture. In the course of general scientific work, that is, before the solution and methodology of a specific problem, one of the main conditions is to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of this problem. Therefore, we devote this article to clarifying the linguistic aspects of the formation of students' speech culture.

French political symbolism and identity construction

The present study examines how the language of political symbolism operates within the framework of identity construction. It focusses on the themes of sovereignty during the 2022 French presidency of the European Union and the national presidential election campaign. On the basis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, it suggests that, apart from purely linguistic features, extra-linguistic factors are also essential in order to convey a global view of symbolic rhetoric. The analysis is conducted according to an overall 6-tier model of figurative origins involving the parameters of personal background, political context, cultural history, reference, conceptual metaphor and linguistic metaphor. By applying the parameters of the model, it is proposed that the core of political argumentation in the corpus analysis is based on national symbols and the conceptual mapping they embody. The basic hypothesis of the model assumes that a politician attempts to portray the symbolisation of unity in accordance with his or her political background and personal biography. A political narrative is thereby created within the current political context using predominant symbols in cultural history. An over-riding factor is the role of referential points which may determine divergence in conceptual mapping. These features then lead to the construction of conceptual metaphors which can take on a particularly hyperbolic structure in the ensuing linguistic metaphors. The implications of the study highlight the important role of symbolism in political debate, its interaction with conceptual metaphor, the relevance of extra-linguistic factors portrayed by the 6-tier model, the link between cultural history and hyperbolic linguistic structures and political divergence in similar symbols.

A Multidimensional Analysis of the Discourse Features of the English Translation of Heavy Wings

Ideology and translation go hand in hand. Translation is a rewriting of the source text, reflecting the ideology and poetics of a particular society. This paper establishes a Chinese-English parallel corpus based on two English translations of Heavy Wings, which takes ideology as the object of study, using multidimensional analysis to examine register differences and to compare the represented features in ideological markers between the two translations in the four dimensions, namely nominalization, transitivity, modality and coherence. Based on system functional linguistics, this paper examines the relationship between ideological markers and the process of the event, the participants and the environment. It was found that: (1) There is a great significance in register of two translations, with 31 out of 67 lexico-grammatical features. Gladys Yang’s translation shows a higher degree of abstract information and explicit; (2) Gladys Yang’s translation mainly focus on the reform process and participants, deliberately distancing the two parties from each other, while Goldblatt’s translation tends to attribute the factional conflicts in the reform to various environmental components, opening up more evaluation space for the textual content; (3) The differences in the use of linguistic and ideological markers are affected by both intra-linguistic and extra-linguistic factors, namely source text factors, social context, ideology, translator subjectivity, etc.

Неологизмы – названия профессий в русском языке: системный и функциональный аспекты

The article presents the results of the analysis on neologisms denoting professions (including colloquial and/or representing collocations) obtained through a survey of native speakers of the Russian language, using the method of distributive semantics (RusVectores service) and the language model with artificial intelligence ChatGPT. All three methods for identifying neologisms – the names of professions – were evaluated and compared, both in quantitative terms and in terms of content. The most effective was a survey of native speakers of the Russian language; the least effective was the method of distributive semantics (RusVectores service). Extralinguistic factors in the emergence of new job titles are identified: the appearance of new and intensive development of existing professional fields, their diversification, the influence of another language on professional usage, the need for prestigious modern titles of existing jobs. An active addition of neologisms to a group of vocabulary in the areas of creating and disseminating information and helping practices has been revealed, where the blurring of the boundaries of existing jobs leads to an expansion of the semantic scope of existing job titles, and a large number of designations for narrow specialists appear. For titles of jobs not related to these areas, new synonyms appear less actively. The area associated with information processing is characterized by semantic shifts in the titles already used in the language. Despite the fact that neologisms-borrowings are common in the sphere of profession nomination, they are often replaced by original synonyms, or such synonyms successfully compete with borrowings.

Comparative analysis of the conceptual features of the concepts of YOUTH and JUVENTUD in Russian and Spanish linguistic cultures

In modern linguistics, research is actively developing aimed at cognizing the surrounding reality, verbalized by linguistic units of a particular language. At the same time, of course, interdisciplinary research, including both linguistic and extralinguistic data, is of particular value. The relevance of our article is the comparison of the concepts of YOUTH and JUVENTUD as fragments of the linguistic picture of the world of the Russian-speaking and Spanish-speaking peoples based on the synthesis of linguocultural and linguocognitive approaches to the study of concepts. The purpose of the work is to identify and compare the conceptual features of the above-mentioned concepts in Russian and Spanish linguistic cultures based on lexicographic sources and using extralinguistic socio-demographic data. The results obtained can find practical application in lexicographical activity. In our study, the conceptual features of the concepts of YOUTH and JUVENTUD were reconstructed based on the data of explanatory, encyclopedic, etymological dictionaries of the Russian and Spanish languages. The conceptual features of the mentioned concepts were identified by understanding the semantic scope of the names of the concepts: the lexemes youth, young in Russian and juventud, joven – in Spanish. Despite the fact that the concept of YOUTH was previously the subject of scientific analysis in the works of Russian linguists, a comparative study of the conceptual features of the concepts of YOUTH and JUVENTUD in Russian and Spanish linguistic cultures has not been conducted before, which is the novelty of the article. It was revealed that the coinciding conceptual features include: 1) a certain life stage of a person between adolescence and adulthood; 2) characteristic of youth; 3) the first stage of life / existence (about an animal, plant, phenomenon); 4) younger in age or time. It was also found that the period of youth for speakers of Spanish linguoculture covers a greater number of years, compared with the same period in Russian linguoculture, which is due to extralinguistic factors – a longer life expectancy in a Spanish-speaking society. In addition, for native Russian speakers, YOUTH is often associated with ‘immaturity, weakness’, while in Spanish linguoculture JUVENTUD is perceived as a period of ‘flourishing, strength, energy'.

Linguistic Means of Speech Manipulation in the Discourse of Modern German-Language Media

This article touches upon the problem of identifying and analysing speech manipulation in the texts of the German-speaking media. The media determines linguistic and cultural pictures of the world, so the analysis of media language will help to establish trends of influence on the cognitive consciousness of society. In today’s geopolitical environment, the basic functions of the media transform, as it uses specific techniques of speech manipulation to achieve informational and emotive effectiveness, allowing for the distortion of the cognitive perception of information by the audience. The material for this study was German-language media texts, selected by means of a total sampling and semantic-syntactic analysis. The relevance of the study lies in its linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The author states that in the conditions of information pollution all the participants of communication should be able to identify speech manipulation in a text, qualify information in terms of its significance or reliability, and to the risks of exposure to manipulative actions. Taking the peculiarities of speech manipulation methods used in the modern German-language media texts into account, the recipient must have sufficient interpretational competence to allow him or her to overcome the barriers that prevent the identification and mental comprehension of the means of speech manipulation in the texts of foreign-language publications. The main purpose of this study is to remove some difficulties in the perception of information in German-language media text by presenting signs of indirect pressure and speech manipulation in them. To this end, the article classifies the basic techniques of speech manipulation in terms of linguistic analysis, and also justifies the expediency of forming interpretative competence in the sphere of epistemic vigilance. We argue that this competence is effective when it comes to levelling the negative impact of the discourse of German-language media on the cognitive consciousness of the audience.

Deanthroponymic Contaminants as Objects of the Language Game (Based on Material from Spanish-Language Media)

This article is devoted to the study of anthroponymic occasionalisms and contaminants – lexical innovations created on the basis of anthroponyms – used in the Spanish-language media as part of the communicative strategy and creative potential of the language game realized in the course of the dynamic process that is characteristic of modern Spanish socio-political discourse. The objectives of the article are: a) to identify models of this method of word formation, and b) to establish the types of relations that appear between the components of the abovementioned derived words. Anthroponyms selected by random sampling from internet publications were studied, considered as objects of the language game, on the basis of which, as a result of deliberate word making, occasionalisms– contaminated formations that express, in addition to nominative meaning, expressiveness and emotive colouring – are created. The following methods were used in our analysis of the material: component analysis of the word; the word-formation method of studying transformational techniques; contextual analysis, which allows us to identify the communicative parameters of the use of language units and the contextual features of the implementation of their meaning in the text; the descriptive-analytical method to identify the essential characteristics and features of the linguistic facts under consideration against the background of extralinguistic factors; and the classification method and the method of linguistic and stylistic analysis, focused on identifying the specifics of individual word usage due to the communicative and aesthetic tasks of the author of the text. The relevance of this study is due to the attention of linguists to axiological issues, the increasing regularity of the use of language play in the media space in particular, and contamination as one of the means of expression in the Spanish-language media at the present stage, using anthroponyms as an object. Anthroponymic contaminated formations are becoming more common and diverse, and there is a need to systematize their models and study their structure and semantics. As a result of the examination carried out on a certain array of initial data, semanticstylistic and axiological functions of contaminants – mainly defamatory, invective – are established in accordance with the pragmatic goals of the author of the text. The models of creating anthroponymic contaminants by both occasional and conventional means of word formation are identified and systematized.

Перспективы работы с лингвистическим корпусом в аспекте исследования фразеологического фонда национального языка

The research is aimed at obtaining evidence of the effectiveness of using the resources of a national linguistic corpus to clarify the semantic development of phraseological units. The work attempts to consider the prospects for involving a national linguistic corpus while studying phraseological units as exemplified by the Russian nominative phraseological unit ‘зеленая улица’ (green light). The authors describe the methodology of dealing with a linguistic corpus to obtain the necessary information on the basis of which diachronic and synchronic changes in the phraseological meaning are examined. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the semantics of the phraseological unit ‘зеленая улица’ is reviewed using the resources of the Russian National Corpus. As a result of the empirical research, the efficiency of its use has been proved: using the corpus of a national language as a source of linguistic, cultural information and extralinguistic factors makes it possible to trace the semantic development of a phraseological unit by expanding its sphere of application, highlighting additional shades of its phraseological meaning and, in some cases, independent meanings.

QR code: from a term to a colloquial word

Determinologisation is one of the actively growing tendencies in the modern Russian language development. However, the complex process of adapting a specialised lexeme to the general linguistic environment, its definition and criteria remain a controversial issue in modern linguistics, which determines the relevance of this study. The article aims to consider one way of transforming a term into a commonly used word. Based on the material of mass media texts of the 1990–2020s, the study traces the discursive migration path of the QR code term. The transformation of this term essential for modern society was complicated by the new loan word assimilation and consisted in a gradual transition from a term to a colloquial word. The research relied on distributional, source study, and corpus analysis in conjunction with comparative and statistical methods (using the "Integrum" database and the scientific electronic library elibrary.ru) when analysing the lexical material from the semantic, statistical, and functional perspectives to make reliable generalisations and obtain new conclusions. The article examines the process of adaptation to the Russian language environment the foreign language abbreviation, namely the first component of the word QR code, underwent. This adaptation is embodied in the functionally unrestricted variants k’yuar-kod/kuar-kod/kyuar-kod and in the colloquial variantskverkod/kver-kod/kiarkodkuar/k’yuar/k’yu-kod/kyuar/kyur-kod. Neutral variants are also analysed from the stand point of the principles of Russian orthography and norms. As one determinologisation stage, the study considers the process of semantic development of the neutral variants QR-kod/k’yuar-kod/kuar-kod/kyuar-kod, their derivational activity, and involvement in language game. The article also reveals extralinguistic factors that impacted on various stages of the QR code adaptation by the language environment. These include the approval of the QR code by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as a standard for mobile phones (2011) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020).

Variability in cross-language and cross-dialect perception. How Irish and Chinese migrants process Australian English vowels.

We investigate how three adult groups- experienced L2 English listeners; experienced D2 (second dialect) listeners; and native L1/D1 listeners- categorise Australian English (AusE) lax front vowels /ɪ e æ/ in /hVt/, /hVl/ and /mVl/ environments in a forced-choice categorisation task of synthesised continua. In study 1, AusE listeners show predictable categorisations, with an effect of coarticulation raising the vowel in perception for nasal onset stimuli, and a following lateral lowering the vowel in perception. In study 2, Irish (D2) and Chinese listeners (L2) have different categorisations than AusE listeners, likely guided by their D1/L1. Coarticulation influences the D1/D2 groups in similar ways, but results in more difficulty and less agreement for the Chinese. We also investigate the role of extralinguistic factors. For the Chinese listeners, higher proficiency in English does not correlate with more Australian-like categorisation behaviour. However, having fewer Chinese in their social network results in more Australian-like categorisation for some stimuli. These findings lend partial support to the role of experience and exposure in L2/D2 contexts, whereby categorisation is likely still driven by native categories, with increased exposure leading to better mapping, but not to a restructuring of underlying phonetic categories.

Mémoires du sens et (dé/re)figement

Defining sentence meaning and utterance meaning is a difficult task for a number of reasons: the hesitant delimitation of the domain and level of analysis; the diversity of perspectives from which the problem has been approached (logical, philosophical, linguistic, scientific, etc.); the difficulty of giving semantics the status of a discipline; the immanent saturation, ignoring what is beyond the lexeme, namely how the lexeme works in discourse, etc. In this paper we propose a memorial perspective, based on pragma-semantics, showing that utterance meaning is the result of a construction based on linguistic and extralinguistic factors. Utterance meaning is constructed in discourse, it showcases sentence meaning pertaining to the semantic level and reactivates several types of memory: phonetic, phrastic (including morphosyntactic and semantic memory), discursive and encyclopedic.

Proverbs and sayings in modern Chinese textbooks for studying Russian as a foreign language as tools of creating the image of Russia

In Russian as a foreign language textbooks, proverbs and sayings dedicated to Russian culture are often encountered. These fixed expressions enrich the foreign students’ associations with Russia and its people as well as comprehensively draw a truthful and vivid image of Russian culture, and enhance the students’ interest in studying the Russian language. In the present research, proverbs and sayings are considered not only as a culturological phenomenon but also as a means of shaping an image of Russia in Russian as a foreign language textbooks. The object of the study is the Russian proverbs and sayings in modern Chinese textbooks of Russian as a foreign language. The article examines the role of the Russian proverbs and sayings as the tools for creating the image of Russia in modern Chinese textbooks of Russian as a foreign language. The material of the paper consists of proverbs and sayings in the textbooks "Russian Language in Universities" published in China from 2008 to 2014. Using continuous sampling method, we have identified more than 250 Russian proverbs and sayings. The methodology of the work combines elements of comparative and content analysis of the source data. The scientific originality of the study involves identification of the structure of Russia’s image represented by the proverbs and sayings under consideration. The article identifies and analyzes the following components of the image of Russia created by proverbs: natural, historical images, images of spiritual culture and everyday life. Proverbs and sayings are a phenomenon of human existence, fragments and treasures of popular wisdom. They reflect the natural image, character, mentality, worldview of the people who created them, their traditions, customs, and history, etc. Considering both linguistic and extralinguistic factors, the author concludes that in modern Chinese textbooks of Russian as a foreign language, Russian proverbs and sayings have become effective and constructive means of stimulating rich associations about Russia among students, and they shape a typical natural image, a rich image of spiritual culture, multifaceted everyday life, and a comprehensive historical image of Russia.

The status of the term violencia de género in the modern Spanish language

The problem of gender-based violence is one of the key in the most modern societies including Spain. In the country where the tradition of patriarchal relations is rooted feminist organisations, nongovernment and state organisations are constantly fighting with the gender asymmetry. In addition, the topic of gender-based violence receives special attention in the Spanish media. There are even sections in leading newspapers named “Gender-based Violence” or “Domestic Violence”. The phenomenon of gender-based violence in the context of gender language policy is actively discussed. Spain is one of the leading countries in adopting progressive gender laws aimed to combat gender-based violence. This very active attitude towards the problem of gender-based violence contrasts with the language policy in this area. Analysis of the actual linguistic material, extralinguistic situation in the country, study of the data of official statistics allowed the author to come to the conclusion that in the modern Spanish reality there is an imbalance between extralinguistic factors (active struggle against gender-based violence, presence of progressive laws) and the same language, in which the term violencia de género has not yet been codified in the dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish language (while in other dictionaries and glossaries the concept is interpreted). The combination violencia de género is widely used in the Spanish speech, in the scientific papers and in the Spanish media space, that is confirmed by the Spanish language database. Free interpretations of this term because of its absence in the main dictionaries do not help the society to understand the problem properly and eradicate it.

Особенности реализации таксисной семантики последовательности в конструкциях с деепричастиями от глаголов движения

The research examines the taxis semantics of consecution in utterances with adverbial participles formed from verbs of motion, which has not been studied earlier. The aim of the research is to characterize aspectual-taxis situations which include adverbial participles formed from verbs of motion. The study was carried out with the use of the method of functional analysis based on Alexander Bondarko’s theory of categorical situations. The material of the study is adverbial participles formed from correlative pairs of non-prefixed autocausative verbs of motion and their prefixed derivatives with spatial semantics (v-, vy-, pod-, ot-, pri-, u-), utterances with these adverbial participles taken from the main subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus. As a result, it was established that a significant role in expressing taxis semantics belongs not only to the aspect forms of adverbial participles in taxis pairs, but also to lexical semantics of adverbial participles and finite verbs, as well as of their expanders. Along with the standard aspectualtaxis situations of consecution with perfective adverbial participles, special types in which imperfective adverbial participles function were identified: (1) precedence of completed actions non-localized in time; (2) precedence of processes localized in time; (3) implicit following of completed actions localized and non-localized in time. In the situation of precedence of completed actions non-localized in time, the adverbial participles of both aspects are synonymous, differing in their interpretive component. In the situation of precedence of processes localized in time, subtypes were described that are distinguished depending on unidirectional/non-unidirectional movement expressed by adverbial participles, as well as semantics of finite verbs. Imperfective adverbial participles with the semantics of unidirectional movement can express both a process that has reached a spatial goal and an interrupted process. Imperfective adverbial participles with the semantics of non-unidirectional movement can express the completion of a process of movement due to uncontrolled moving of the subject to a place. In the situation of implicit following of completed actions, imperfective adverbial participles denote the time limits within which the action of a finite verb is done, and taxis semantics is expressed with the help of lexical meanings of members of a taxis pair, expanders, extralinguistic factors. The conducted research shows that studying utterances with adverbial participles formed from particular lexical groups of verbs enables to expand the idea of aspectual-taxis situations that can be conveyed in adverbial participial constructions.

La variación léxica y planificación de vocabulario: el papel de la creatividad lingüística

The language, as a communication system, is established through speech production by the speaker. Linguistics and Sociology postulate criteria for analyzing linguistic and social factors. The linguistic performance is governed by norms acquired by the speaker, but this does not exempt speech communities from verbal creation. This work intends to explore both the language and linguistics realms, which are susceptible to the insertion of verbal creativity. This creativity arises from the variation observed at each level of language and the extralinguistic factors that influence it. The conclusion of this work presents a didactic proposal aimed at expanding vocabulary, which can be used for the creation of phonological words in Spanish.

Double Surnames among Circassians in Homeland and Diaspora Communities: A Comparative Study

The study comparatively examines the extralinguistic factors influencing the prevalence of double surnames among Circassians residing in their ancestral territory and within the Turkish diaspora. Drawing from scholarly literature on Adyghe anthroponymy, as well as fieldwork conducted by the author between 2019 and 2022 in the Turkish city of Kayseri and surrounding villages inhabited by a dense Circassian population, the research explores the phenomenon of double surnames, defined as the simultaneous or consecutive use of two surnames within a single family or clan. The author contends that while the evolution of double Circassian surnames is rooted in historical narratives transmitted across generations, the rationales behind their emergence differ between the homeland and the Turkish diaspora. In their native land, secondary surnames typically arise from commonplace or social occurrences (such as family incidents, redemption from captors, or the acquisition of surnames from noble or affluent families). Conversely, in Turkey, the adoption of parallel surnames among Circassian families is exclusively linked to state policies aimed at integrating and assimilating immigrants into the Turkic milieu.
