Lexical markers from paragraph recall predict cognitive status

AbstractBackgroundCognitive tests that require a spoken response, such as paragraph recall, are rich in cognitive‐related information that is not captured using traditional scoring methods. This study aimed to determine whether linguistic features embedded in spoken responses can differentiate between individuals who are and are not cognitively impaired.MethodWe used linguistic text analysis software (Linguistic Inquiry Word Count) to identify lexical and grammatical features from manually transcribed recordings of Logical Memory immediate (IR) and delayed recall (DR) from a subset (N = 169) of Long Life Family Study participants. We used regression models with Generalized Estimating Equations adjusted by age, sex, education, and within‐family correlation to select features associated with cognitive status (normal cognition [NC] versus cognitive impairment [CI]; threshold p<0.1). We developed a “polyfeature score” (PFS) for both immediate and delayed recall, each calculated as a weighted sum of the selected lexical features for each recall condition. We then built a logistic regression model to evaluate the predictive value of the PFSs for identifying cognitively impaired individuals.ResultThe sample included 133 participants with NC and 36 with CI (mean age = 75.8±11.7 years, 56% female). The regression identified 11 features for IR (e.g., percent of prepositions, words > = 6 letters) and 13 features for DR (e.g., percent of perceptual process words, percent of conjunctions) that significantly predicted cognitive status. Only 45% of features selected in IR were also selected in DR. Both PFSs were highly associated with cognitive status (PFS_IR β = 1.48, p < 0.001; PFS_DR β = 0.67, p = 0.001). The PFS yielded high discriminative value for cognitive status (PFS_IR AUC = 0.96, sensitivity = 0.73, specificity = 0.86; PFS_DR AUC = 0.90, sensitivity = 0.82, specificity = 0.86). Combining lexical features from both recall conditions did not increase the predictive value of the models.ConclusionLexical features from immediate paragraph recall alone provide sufficient information for classifying cognitive status increasing its potential as a cognitive screener in clinical settings. Additionally, each recall condition identified unique lexical features associated with cognitive impairment which may help elucidate processes underlying deficits in learning and recall.

Linguistic analysis of introductory texts from Letras programs’ websites

This research aimed at analyzing the Universities’ discourse used to describe the undergraduate program of Letras in their websites. To pursue this objective, the analysis delved into three textual descriptions of the Letras program from three private universities and focused on Fairclough’s CDA and on Halliday’ SFL. The results indicated that the most recurrent processes are Material, placing the students in a powerful position in text 1 and the institution in text 3, and Relational, identifying the institution in a more influential place. Furthermore, there is a tendency from all texts to present a less academic and more marketized discourse in the presentation of their Letras program .

Коммуникативный аспект формирования имиджа территории: экологическая проблематика в интернет-СМИ промышленных регионов

The article presents new results of the research on the problem of communicative formation of the image of environmentally disadvantaged territories. The relevance of the issue is supplemented by new factors in the context of environmental discourse and language images of the territory in the regional media. The ecological image of the territory acquires relevance in the concept of sustainable development. The aim of the study is to try to identify the features of environmental news coverage in the regional media of environmentally disadvantaged territories, linguistic patterns of image creation in the news content. The key toolkit was the method of content analysis and survey, contributing to the understanding of the problem. The methodology and methods of research are built on the scientific approaches of domestic and foreign scientists, who raise the problem at the methodological level. A special place in the methodology of analysis is taken by the linguistic analysis of texts. The angle of presentation and consideration of the problem is important. Informational environmental agenda of Internet media of industrial regions becomes a conditional mirror, which reflects the current reality. The results of the study showed that there is a direct link between the image of the territory and its information promotion in the information agenda of the region, which forms the communicative image of the territory in the media space. The assumption that language images influence the attractiveness of the region is confirmed. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the attempt to integrate the methods of classical content analysis of the environmental agenda of the regional media and methods of linguistic analysis in environmental communications. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility to use the materials to translate the experience of the regional media in the practice of environmental journalism, forming the impression and representation of the attractiveness of the risk territories.

The Realization of Metaphor Types in Green’s The Fault inOur Stars (2012)

Metaphors deal with transferring words to other words by comparing the similarity of its meaning. This study investigated the realization of metaphors and their relationship among the four types in the novel. Lakoff and Johnson; Lakoff and Turner mentioned four metaphors; those are structural metaphors, orientational metaphors, ontological metaphors, and image metaphors. These metaphor categorizations are mentioned in the Contemporary Theory of Metaphors (CTM). The researchers conducted a linguistic analysis of text as the method. To collect the data, the researchers used MIPVU (Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit) in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. The metaphors which are found were analyzed based on classifications as they are used in the novel. In this study, there are 367 metaphors found in the novel; those are 56 structural metaphors, 40 orientational metaphors, 222 ontological metaphors, 36 image metaphors, and 13 compound metaphors. The most used metaphor in the novel is Ontological metaphor because it has more general specification than other metaphors. The compound metaphors are found based on the relationship of the four types. They are used together to strengthen, clarify, support, complete, and continue each other. The results presented that all of the metaphors are mapped in a proper way. It means they have compatible concepts transferred. Thus, this result can be used by the learners as supporting words to raise the learners' quality of speech.

The text presented here is intended primarily to focus on the life and activity of Mac Cruitín and his historical and literary milieu in mid-eighteenth-century Clare. The discussion is not intended to provide a detailed linguistic analysis or editorial treatment of the original text in Irish. Rather, by focusing on the poet and his world, as well as some of the themes addressed in his poem, new light is cast on the classical Gaelic tradition of north Munster at a time when that scholarly tradition was becoming obsolete.

Analysis of Sait Faik’s story named Tüneldeki Çocuk with a text-focused approach

Çalışmanın dayanaklarından göstergebilim, anlatı metinlerinin yapısını oluşturan bileşenleri ortaya koyarak onların yapılandırılma biçimlerini inceleyen bir çözümleme yaklaşımdır. Metinleri yapılandıran anlamsal ve söylemsel düzlemleri belirleyerek anlatının yapısını farklı boyutlarda ortaya çıkarmayı sağlar. Metindilbilim ise dilbilimin tümce üstü yapılara odaklanmasıyla gelişerek, metinlerin yapılarını, içerik ve dil bilgisi açısından nasıl kurgulandıklarını ortaya çıkarır ve bunları uygulamalı biçimde açıklar. Metin oluşturmanın genel koşullarını betimleyen metindilbilim, metin olanı metin olmayandan ayırır. Bu çalışmada Cumhuriyet Dönemi Türk yazınının kısa öyküleriyle tanınan yazarlarından Sait Faik Abasıyanık’ın Tüneldeki Çocuk adlı öyküsünün göstergebilim ve metindilbilimin imkânlarını birlikte kullanarak çözümlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için nitel araştırma deseninde yürütülen bu çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılarak metnin yapısına dair nitel veriler elde edilmiştir. Göstergebilimsel çözümleme basamaklarına göre metin bölümlere ve söylem kesitlerine ayrılmış, anlatının genel düzenlenişi ortaya konulmuştur. Ardından Greimas’ın eyleyenler örnekçesi çerçevesinde eyleyenler saptanarak bunlar arasındaki ilişkileri kuran eksenler belirlenmiş, anlatı izlencesini oluşturan süreçler ve kiplikler gösterilmiştir. Ardından figüratif karşıtlıklar saptanmış, uzam ve betimleme, zaman kullanımı, bakış açısı ve izleksel roller ortaya konmuştur. Diğer yandan bu başlıklar altında öyküdeki eşdizimsel örüntüleme görünümleri belirlenmiştir. İzleksel roller ve bakış açısının belirlenmesinde gönderim unsurlarının tespitinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu sayede metnin çok katmanlı yapısı iki ayrı çözümleme yaklaşımının katkılarıyla ortaya konmuştur. Buna göre incelenen anlatısal metinlerin yapısını ortaya çıkarmak için hem göstergebilimin hem metindilbilimin imkânlarından olabildiğince yararlanılmasının gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.

Linguistic Organization of the Official Sport Discourse Text
 (Based on 2017–2020 Rhythmic Gymnastics Code of Points)

The purpose of this article is to identify compositional, lexical and grammat-
 ical features of the texts related to the official sports discourse. The research is based on 2017–2020 Rhythmic Gymnastics Code of Points in English and Russian versions. The relevance of the study is due to the insufficient coverage of the linguistic peculiarities of documents related to sports in linguists’ publications and the importance of describing this segment of sports discourse from the point of view of its goal, sub-
 ject, communicants and linguistic means used in official texts.
 The text of Code of Points implements professional sports discourse, as it
 is created and read by specialists. Linguistic analysis of the official sports text
 makes it possible to identify the features of the compositional structure of the text,
 grammatical features, as well as lexemes that have meaning-forming functions.
 The research involves methods of structural, semantic, contextual and discourse
 analysis. The peculiarities of the composition lie in the clear structuredness of the
 material, which contributes to its logical presentation.
 The authors of the article present terms as key units that are significant
 for the content of the text and characterized by unambiguity, a tendency to fre-
 quent use in one text. Abbreviations and non-verbal signs promote concise com-
 munication of information. The syntax features include simple extended sen-
 tences, compound and complex sentences, conditionals, and passive clauses. The
 prescriptive nature of the text is also achieved by the functioning of modal verbs.
 The revealed features of the linguistic organization regulate such characteristics
 of the official text as informativeness, prescriptiveness, descriptiveness, concrete-
 ness and impersonality.

Soft Skills Representation in English and Russian Songs

Introduction. This paper is aimed at analyzing the songs of the British group “The Beatles”, and the songs of the Russian artist, poet and singer V. Vysotsky for the purpose of their soft skills representation. The relevance of the work is determined by the general, keen interest to the formation and development of social competences as the foundation of improving successful interpersonal relations in the 21st century. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the study of soft skills was carried out on the basis of the creative work of the prominent representatives of the Russian and British musical culture of the past century.Methodology and sources. Due to the fact that the musical creativity of "The Beatles" and V. Vysotsky was considered primarily from the standpoint of linguistic material, the research methodology was based on the principles of linguistic text analysis, such as methods of component, cognitive and discourse analysis. In addition, the paper analyzes the works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the basic principles of the formation and development of soft skills of a person today.Results and discussion. The article demonstrates a new, non-standard approach when working with the mastery and training of soft skills. The development of creative abilities directly depends on the emotional response that the material evokes. Music compositions have a more intense impact on a person, because they combine two components: lyrics and tune. Therefore, the analysis of songs can serve as an additional source of improving creative thinking. Comparison of soft skills representation in Russian and English songs did not reveal any clear distinctive national features of the skills under consideration, which once again proves their universality.Conclusion. The study of artistic images and metaphors presented in the lyrics of both Russian and English singers can form the basis of a new methodological approach aimed at developing non-standard, creative thinking, which can be applied at various levels of the educational process.

Hedging in the Swiss version of economic discourse

This article explores the linguo-pragmatic potential of hedging, which is a means of speech insurance. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe linguistically the means of hedging used by journalists in Swiss articles on economic issues, taking into account the peculiarities of the language situation in German-speaking Switzerland. An attempt is made to determine the pragmatic function of the identified hedging instruments. The materials of the study are fragments from economic articles of the major Swiss media containing various hedging markers. So far, no attempts have been made in Russian and foreign German studies to describe linguistically the means of hedging in Swiss economic discourse. The study identified lexical and grammatical hedging: Konjunktiv I as a marker of indirect speech; hypothetical constructions with Konjunktiv II; means of implementing ambiguity and approximation; impersonal constructions; concessive structures; lexical means of realization of subjective forecast; modal words. The analysis showed that most often the authors of news reports use Konjunktiv I as a marker of indirect speech, as well as hypothetical constructions with Konjunktiv II. The conducted linguo-pragmatic analysis revealed that the authors of journalistic texts use these linguistic means in order to minimize their responsibility for what is being reported, referring to an external source of information, to express doubt, non-categorical assumption about future events, to label uncertainty and shirk responsibility when in doubt about exact facts or figures. The use of hedging in journalism also contributes to the dedramatization of the situation, to the preservation of the reputation of companies and the prevention of critical reviews and the growth of panic on the part of readers. The data obtained as a result of the analysis can be used in linguistic analysis and interpretation of economic texts to identify the linguistic features of the Swiss economic discourse.

The Opposition “Man – Machine” in the Language Picture of the World of the 21 Century

The reflection of the idea of the transformation of humanism in modern speech practice is considered by the example of rethinking the fundamental opposition of the culture “Man – Machine”. In the digital era, the boundary within this opposition is blurred: “humanization” of programs and algorithms takes place in parallel with the opposite process – “dehumanization” of live persons, and both processes are quite consistently reflected in the language. The novelty of the research is determined by the fact that for the first time it reveals implicit ways of expressing the transformation of the relationship between man and machine, namely through anthropomorphic and anthropocentric metaphors in the artistic and journalistic discourse. The purpose of the study is to present some stable models of transformation of the declared opposition in modern speech practice, indicating profound changes in the understanding of humanism in the digital age. The research material is modern prose and journalistic texts. The linguistic text analysis, semantic analysis of the key lexemes, and the method of establishing cognitive conditionality of language processes are used as the main research methods. As a result, the types of metaphors conveying the idea of likening a person to a technical device and algorithms, on the one hand (anthropomorphic metaphor), and likening an algorithm to a person, on the other hand (anthropocentric metaphor),which are consistently reproduced in artistic and journalistic speech, are established. Cognitive models defining the use of metaphorics for rethinking the opposition “Man – Machine” realize the transfer “from the human world to the world of technology and IT”, as well as the transfer “from the world of technology to the world of man”. In the latter case, the actualization of the metaphor of “code” is noted, revealing one of the main dangers of the dominance of modern technologies (robotization, artificial intelligence, etc.) in traditional spheres of human activity – the loss of personal freedom, manipulation of consciousness, devaluation of human individuality. The author sees the prospects of the research in the further study of the impact of the ideology of “code” on the formation of ideas of transhumanism.

Sensemaking and corporate social responsibility: Implications for stakeholder communication amid the COVID-19 pandemic

Purpose: The aim of this research study was to establish via a linguistic analysis of stakeholder communication texts, how organisational sensemaking in a crisis situation, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, might influence the social responsibility orientation of companies.Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from public social responsibility statements of 10 financial services companies before and immediately after the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and analysed using the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) method. In this way, qualitative information could be turned into statistical data and made comparable across the sample.Results: The results confirm that the social responsibility sensemaking processes in companies manifest in their public stakeholder communications. While the analysed statements indicate an increase in affiliation with the predicament of stakeholders, it also reveals reduced levels of transparency. This tension between affiliation and transparency holds consequences for authenticity and reputation in corporate social responsibility (CSR) sensemaking and orientation.Practical implications: Corporate decision-makers and communication experts should take special care of the relationship between CSR sensemaking and stakeholder communication as interconnected processes in a purposeful and mindful manner.Originality/value: The research study demonstrates how the analysis of textual statements can be used as a lens into CSR sensemaking in the context of disruption and adversity. This establishes a method for measurement of CSR orientation that can assess an organisation’s current orientation, as well as shifts in orientation because of crisis situations. Organisations can use this information to evaluate their CSR communications so that they are more aligned with intentions.

Formational Features of the Image of Russia on the Serbian Media Platforms

Any network media platform, as an integral multifunctional multimedia system, a priori has a set of technological advantages for broadcasting socially significant information, at the same time, media text is a key element of Internet communications. In this regard, the media platform can be considered as one of the most effective means of state image formation. The authors test this hypothesis on the empirical material of specific media platforms in Serbia: they study media texts for the period of 2020-2021 highlighting Russia (its politics, culture, history). The research question consists in the formational features identification and promotion of the image of Russia on the digital territory of the kindred peoples. There is both an interdisciplinary theoretical and practical need to study media text of network platforms as a phenomenon that actively assimilates the multimedia format and various distribution channels. The authors use a linguistic analysis of texts about Russia, revealing the stereotypes inherent in the inhabitants of the Balkans in relation to Russians. It was found out that the modern image of the Russian Federation in this region is influenced by stereotypes reflected in the texts posted on Serbian media platforms. Special attention is paid to media texts reflecting the period of strengthening of the international authority of Russia as an independent state that consistently implements its foreign policy. Our research is relevant for an objective assessment of the attitude of the Balkans to Russia in the context of age-old interstate relations and traditions of the Slavic world. The texts of the Serbian online media demonstrate the authors understanding of the value of the common national cultural heritage, linguocultural basics of Russian and Serbian peoples. The functioning of modern media in the Balkan Peninsula, published in the Serbo-Croatian language, is considered in relation to the formation of a national civil society interested not only in the native language, but also in integration into Slavic culture in general, in the development of effective cooperation with Russia. Having used the technological capabilities of media platforms, it was established that the image of Russia in Serbian media modelling in the period of 2020-2021 is an element of the complex multimedia controlled impact on their audience. The results of our research show that the representation of the image of Russia was carried out systematically - taking into account the values, needs and preferences of the South Slavic peoples.

Author's idiostyle, linguistic and translation aspects

The problem of individual author's Stylistics, its place in the system of already functioning verbal means and its role in realizing the unique pragmatic potential of a literary work and the author as a whole have become the basis for numerous studies in the field of linguostylistics, which indicates the relevance of this work. The purpose of the article is to study the linguistic and translation aspects of the author's idiostyle. Methods. The paper used scientific methods: generalization, systematization and classification of methodological sources and scientific approaches to the study of the concept of “idiostyle” in the system of linguistic analysis of literary texts in scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign researchers. Results. The semantic difference between the studied comparisons and metaphors revealed some semantic value of these tropes and their functions in establishing genre features of Stephen King's idiostyle. Conclusion. Structural differentiation of comparisons and metaphors allowed us to analyze the frequency of their use in the author's works. The most common type is a group of binomial nominative comparisons, while other groups have approximately the same number of examples. Among metaphors, the most widely used type is a simple metaphor with a single image. The analysis of the translation aspect of S. King's works shows that each author uses his own approaches in translating lexical and stylistic means aimed at implementing a strategy to create a certain atmosphere. But it should be noted that the most effective is the use of lexical and stylistic means close to the original, while omission, transliteration and often contextual substitution in translation reduce the effectiveness of creating certain emotions in the reader. The basis for further research is to determine approaches to the study of the author's idiostyle in the dramatic genre.

Theolinguistic analysis of al-Farabi's treatise "USUL ‘ILM AT-TABI'A" (based on the chapter "rukh" and "nafs" )

The works of Abu Nasr al-Farabi continue to attract the attention of scholars, who quite actively and fruitfully studying the philosophical treatises of the Second Aristotle, contributed to their translation into a number of languages ​​in the world. This article attempts to make a theological and linguistic analysis of the first Chapter "’Aql" (intelligence, mind) of al-Farabi's treatise "Kitab makalat ar-rafia fi usul at-tabia". The aim of the study is to reveal both linguistic and theological meaning through the analysis of words, terms and concepts used by the Second Teacher after Aristotle. Since the object of the research is the text of the Chapter "’Aql" in the treatise of the medieval scholar-encyclopedist, the key methods were the methods used in the study of text, incl. hermeneutic method for the study of verses from the Quran and hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad. In the process of considering the treatise, we will study the religious point of view of al-Farabi, where discussion issues among scholars will be taken into account, as well as a philosophical, namely metaphysical point of view based on the text from the Quran and hadiths functioning in the treatise. The study is interdisciplinary, as it connects linguistics and religion, and in particular Islamic theology. The results of the study will contribute to the disclosure of linguistic meanings of theological concepts, as well as the implementation of linguistic analysis of religious texts. Keywords: irada, uakhi, ilkham, mind, spirit

The role of vestial vocabulary in shaping the hero’s image in the drama works

In the article, we will try to consider the extralinguistic nature of clothing names found in the language of M. Auezov’s dramas in unity with National Knowledge. The aim of the article is to show spiritual and material culture of the people through the works of M.Auezov. Brief description of the scientific and practical significance of the work. In general prose and poetic works, the function of vestems in a sentence is clearly visible. And, vestems in dramatic works are often mentioned in scenes. Therefore, it is up to the researcher to determine what function it performs. For example, when Karagoz is going to get married she wears saukele. It was written by the author, and the spectator is watching, and our goal is to find out the purpose of putting it on. Brief description of the research methodology. While studying the material, we used the method of semantic and stylistic analysis of the vocabulary of a work of art, etymological analysis, supplemented by the method of motivational and comparative analysis, descriptive method, component analysis. The main results and analysis, conclusions of the research. From the point of view of modern perception, tokens representing clothing can be divided into the following groups: 1) familiar words; 2) words that are familiar, but do not correspond to the concept of» clothing»; 3_ familiar but less common words in the modern Kazakh language; It requires the ratio of active and passive vocabulary in the vocabulary of the modern reader in the language of M. Auezov, the replacement of unfamiliar lexemes into semantically developed lexical units, which primarily contributes to the formation of lexicographic competence of the linguistic personality. Practical significance of the results of the work. The results of this study are widely used in linguocultural studies, cognitive linguistics, linguistic analysis of literary texts. Key words: linguoculturemes, saukele, national culture, information, material culture, expressive qualities7

Анализ жанровой специфики футбольного комментария на материале английского языка

The study aims to determine the typological characteristics of the football commentary genre from the perspective of its goal-setting. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it clarifies the conceptual content of “genre” in the context of mass media discourse, as well as identifies the typological characteristics of the football commentary genre by carrying out a linguistic analysis of transcript texts of football matches played by English teams. As a result of the study, football commentary has been attributed as a genre of mass media discourse with its distinctive linguistic features associated with the goal-setting attitudes of a commentator and also it has been analysed in the context of ways to present information.

Reclaiming the Text-grammar of Harald Weinrich and the Syntax of Genesis 24

We are approaching the 50-year mark since Wolfgang Schneider wrote a brief chapter on Hebrew syntax (in his Grammatik des biblischen Hebräisch [1974]) based on the text-linguistic method of Harald Weinrich (Tempus [1964]). This contribution offers reflections on this often-neglected linguist, and extends a recently proposed way of looking at the syntax of Biblical Hebrew, starting from a re-examination of Weinrich’s linguistic principles. A text-linguistic analysis of the wayyiqtol, xqatal, and xparticiple as evident in the indirect speech of Genesis 24 is presented. This contribution brings to the fore the relevance of Weinrich’s text-grammar for the study of Biblical Hebrew and the connection between Weinrich and Lucien Tesnière (dependency grammar).

A Computational Approach to Decode the Pragma-Stylistic Meanings in Narrative Discourse

This paper presents a computer-based frequency distribution analysis to decode the pragma-stylistic meanings in one of the narrative discourse represented by Orwell’s dystopian novel Animal Farm. The main objective of the paper is to explore the extent to which computer software contribute to the linguistic analysis of texts. The paper uses the variable of frequency distribution analysis (FDA) generated by concordance software to decode the pragmatic and stylistic significance beyond the mere linguistic expressions employed by the writer in the selected data. Some words were selected to undergo a frequency distribution analysis so as to highlight their pragmatic and linguistic weight which, in turn, helps arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the thematic message intended by the writer. The paper is grounded on one analytical strand: Frequency distribution analysis conducted by concordance. Results reveal that applying a frequency distribution analysis to the linguistic analysis of large data fictional texts serves to (i) identify the various types of discourse in these texts; (ii) create a thematic categorization that is based on the frequency distribution analysis of specific words in texts; and (iii) indicate that not only high frequency words are indicative in the production of particular pragmatic and stylistic meanings in discourse, but also low frequency words are highly indicative in this regard. These results accentuate a further general finding that computer software contribute significantly to the linguistic analysis of texts, particularly those pertaining to literature. The paper recommends further and intensive incorporation of computer and CALL (computer-assisted language learning) software in teaching and learning literary texts in EFL (English as a foreign language) settings.

Концептуальная лексема «Суходол» как компонент авторской языковой картины мира в одноимённой повести И.А. Бунина

The ways of lexical representation of the spatial continuum as a component of the author’s linguistic world picture in the story by the neorealist writer I.A. Bunin “Sukhodol” are analyzed. Thus, the object of research is the concept of “Space”. The subject of research interest is the conceptual lexeme “Sukhodol”, which objectifies the spatial component of the author’s linguistic world picture in the story of the same name by I.A. Bunin. The concept of “Space” takes an important place in cognitive linguistics, therefore the relevance of the article, which consists in addressing the problem of lexical means of representing the world-modeling universal and the method of its description, is beyond doubt. The aim of the study is to identify the linguistic mechanisms of objectification of space in the short novel “Sukhodol”, formed by the toponym of the same name. The designated research goal is implemented in a number of tasks, consisting in the analysis of the peculiarities of the functioning of the toponym “Sukhodol” and its derivatives, in the identification and analysis of their role in the formation of the author’s linguistic world picture. The conclusion substantiates that the author’s linguistic world picture, an important component of which is space, has a conceptual nature, objectified by a system of individual means of lexical representation, an important place among which belongs to the conceptual lexeme “Sukhodol”. The materials of the article can find practical application in university courses on textual criticism, cognitive linguistics, and linguistic text analysis.

LANGUAGE TRANSFORMATIONS OF “ENEIDA” BY IVAN KOTLIAREVSKII IN THE 1798th AND 1980th EDITIONS

The issue of restoring the authenticity of the Ukrainian language is timely even during the war in Ukraine, because, as it turned out, language itself is a powerful identifier of national belonging. The first significant step towards was the project of the new Ukrainian spelling (orthography) of 2019, which launched the process of reviving Ukrainian language norms at the phonetic, lexical, and grammatical levels. In this context, the analysis of ancient works written by Ukrainian authors before the Ukrainophobic decrees aims to restore the lost, to determine the ways of returning the long-forgotten, the expediency of using it in the modern language, which is extremely relevant today. Unfortunately, for many decades, the spelling norms of the Ukrainian language were adapted to the language of the state, which established not linguistic, but political rules. That is why even the existing spellings of the Ukrainian language of the 20th century cannot be recognized as proper Ukrainian. Therefore, the linguistic analysis of authentic texts in the Ukrainian language, those publications that were not "censored" by the state machine and contained a living language inherent to its speakers, is gaining great importance. The burlesque-travesty poem “Eneida” by Ivan Kotliarevskii, written at the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century, is an example of the use of the colloquial Ukrainian language of that time, which is fully presented in the work. Of course, the development of a language at any stage has its own characteristics, so one cannot easily and thoughtlessly copy today what was inherent in the language in the XVIII-XIX centuries; it is important to find the authenticity of the language (at its various levels), which will be logically and correctly recorded in modern standards.
