Linguistic Personality Research Articles

К ассоциативной типологии в контексте изучения языка как достояния человека

The article discusses a number of fundamental for the development of associative typology propositions connected with systemogenesis of language as a human species- specific phenomenon. Using the example of the psychological meanings of lexical units that make up the ethnopolitically marked paradigm of the “national”, the author reflects on the patterns in the functioning of a living language, which are revealed on associative- verbal models of the Russian Language Personality (RLP) and can serve as the basis for the development of an associative typology of language. The article considers the problem of ontology and functional motivation of associative (active) grammar (as an inherent property of a linguistic personality) on a semantic basis. The hypothesis of associative grammar as a factor contributing to the integrative formation of meaningful units in the course of their being recruited for the inclusion into the speech flow through elimination of redundancy is proposed for consideration. It is stated that different functionally specific types of techniques aimed at elimination of redundancy and discovered via experiment can be considered as a subject for analysis in associative typology in the light of whole-systemic comparative analyses of network models of an average (national) linguistic personality. They can be described in terms of associative dominants (accentuations of a linguistic personality) and statistically formalized using vector models represented as psychoglosses and /or chronoglosses (in current diachrony).

Foreign Language Student Linguistic Personality as a Vector for the Professional Bilingualism

The relevance of the study manifests itself through the use of a polyparadigmatic approach to the consideration of the linguistic personality of a translator, including cognitive, cultural, synergetic, and competence aspects. The cognitive aspect is based on the study of the linguistic consciousness of the individual, the synergetic aspect is based on achieving a harmonious translation worldview, the cultural aspect is based on the need for an interconnected study of languages and cultures, and the competence aspect is based on the formation of personal intercultural competence. The purpose of the study is to substantiate a polyparadigmatic approach to the study of the linguistic personality of a foreign student – a future translator. As a result of the study, it was established that in the digital age, with artificial intelligence constantly evolving, new trends arise in the professional bilingualism formation of a human translator interacting with artificial intelligence. This study is based on the results of accumulated pedagogical experience and theoretical provisions in this area, which unites the educational space of two universities (PNRPU, Russia and KRU named after A. Baitursynuly, Kazakhstan). The results obtained can of interest for teachers engaged in training bilingual students, linguistic program students, for the tertiary education practitioners as well as those involved into decision making and curriculum development.

Языковая личность синхронного переводчика: тезаурусный (лингвокогнитивный) уровень

The paper aims to identify the representatives of the thesaurus (linguocognitive) level of the professional linguistic personality of a simultaneous interpreter through verbal means. The author conducts the research within the framework of the linguo-functional approach. To achieve the stated aim, the researcher examines the phenomenon of the linguistic personality as such, distinguishes between the related concepts of “linguistic personality” and “linguistic identity”, and offers a theoretical justification for the formation of a working definition of the thesaurus (linguocognitive) level and the language units included in it. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the thesaurus (linguocognitive) level of the linguistic personality of a simultaneous interpreter is considered from the perspective of the linguo-functional approach. The author proposes a methodology for exploring the thesaurus (linguocognitive) level to determine and analyze representatives reflecting the individual’s linguistic model of the world. Examples of analyzing representatives at different levels (the level of verbal representation, the level of conceptual sphere representation, the level of extralinguistic representation) demonstrate the breadth of the thesaurus level of a simultaneous interpreter in a communication situation of translation, taking into account the manifestation of available background and special knowledge in translation.

STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC ORIGINALITY OF THE SEMANTIC FIELD ‟POWER” IN VLADIMIR MAKSIMOV’S NOVEL ‟TO LOOK INTO THE ABYSS”

The article characterises the semantic field ‟Power” in the novel by the famous Russian prose writer of the 2nd half of the 20th century, Vladimir Maksimov (1930–1995). The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the structural and semantic features of the field, determination of the originality of the textual functioning of its core components, which are the semantic dominants of the work, actively involved in the organisation of the narrative, in the artistic depiction of historical events and the creation of images of literary characters. The theoretical concepts of the semantic field and semantic space of the text, which unites its conceptual, denotative and emotive meanings, are defined. Linguistic modelling of the field structure is based on the principles of discourse analysis of the text and is determined by the specific linguistic personality of the writer, genre-stylistic and plot-compositional features of the work. Characteristic of component composition of the field, its core, centre and periphery, microfields is given. Semantic connections and intersections of field components are determined with contextual synonymy and antonymy revealed. The core of the field includes the key lexemes “power”, “strength”, “leader”, “will”. The semantic field unites five microfields: the central part of the field structure includes the microfields ‟White-Guard Power of Alexander Kolchak” and ‟Soviet Power of Vladimir Lenin”; the peripheral zone includes the microfields ‟Power of Social Elements”, ‟Military Force of Foreign Intervention” and ‟Power of Selfless and unselfish Love”. The semantic dominants of the text, being the key components of the field, contribute to the dynamics of the narrative, create an artistic chronotope, reflect the author’s position, and convey the bright features of the writer’s linguistic personality.

RHETORICAL CODES OF PERIPHRASIS IN THE POETRY OF JOSEPH BRODSKY

The paper examines which rhetorical codes are implemented by periphrases in the poetry of Joseph Brodsky. The understanding of the rhetorical code is connected with the symbolic perception of artistic images created in a poetic text. The study of the rhetorical code involves the analysis of the influencing potential of stylistic means, taking into account the genre features of the text material. The expressive and pictorial possibilities that rhetorical techniques possess are also due to a thematic factor, a communicative situation – a political event, a love twist, a historical action. The interpretation of the code contributes to the establishment of communicative relations between the addressee and the addressee, the author and the reader, thereby comprehending the pragmatic meaning of the work of speech. In the lyrics of Joseph Brodsky, saturated with allusions and reminiscences, the periphrasis becomes a semantic, transmission and transformative buffer that expands the cultural space of the work. The rhetorical codes of reinforcement, substitution and isolation help to understand the emotional state of the lyrical hero, the decryption of these codes explains the causes of frustration, loss and feelings of orphanhood. The article emphasises that the basis of the rhetorical code is the national mentality and linguistic personality of the author of the work; therefore, when interpreting the code, the context of history was taken into account when the poems were created. The rhetorical code is part of the cultural code. Free periphrases, which are often used in the poems of Joseph Brodsky, allow the reader to see a unique, special picture of the poet’s world.

GIRLISH SONGS OF THE YOUTH OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE TIMES OF 1900 - 1927 OF THE DARAVATSKY VILLAGE COUNCIL OF KOZHUKHOV VOLOST IN THE PRACTICE OF COMMUNICATIVE AND SPEECH PORTRAITURE THE LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY OF A NATIVE OF THE NORTHERN VILLAGE

The article implements the problems of dialect linguistic personology, it solves the problem of communicative and speech portrayal of the linguistic personality of Vasily Ardalyonovich Morozov (1904-1980) on the basis of a linguistic analysis of his handwritten archive and memories of his children and grandchildren. Considerable attention is paid in this article to the handwritten list of Vologda ditties - one of the significant components of the studied manuscript archive, which is important both for studying the traditional spiritual culture of the Russian North and for describing the cultural life of the Morozov family in rural and urban everyday life. Based on the study of the handwritten list of ditties, the phonetic, lexical and grammatical features of dialect origin characteristic of the author of the manuscript, reflected in written speech, characterizing V.A. Morozov as a native speaker of the northeastern (Vologda) dialects of the northern dialect of the Russian language, are revealed. The list of folk songs represents the distinctive features of the author's graphics and spelling, on the one hand, showing the utmost accuracy in presenting the factual component of the manuscript, and on the other, allowing numerous spelling and punctuation errors, the presence of which reveals a clear lack of education of the informant. The article also comments on the motifs and images of folk ditties closest to V.A. Morozov. This is the motif of playing the accordion, mentioning the attributes of military service, as well as items of men's clothing fashionable in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The identification of motives and images important to the informant became possible by comparing the texts written by his hand with the recordings of texts of this folklore genre performed by his wife A.N. Morozova.

LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY AND ITS MANIFESTATION IN SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE TEXTS (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF GAISA KHUSAINOV'S WORK)

This article is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic personality traits of one of the most famous scientists of Bashkortostan and a writer who made a great contribution to the development and enrichment of the Bashkir national literature Gaysa Khusainov. His monographic study “Bashkort shigyry. Shigriat huthlege” ‘Bashkir versification. Poetic dictionary’ (Ufa, 2003) is taken as a data for the investigation. The following structure and main features of the monograph as a genre of scientific prose are considered: information transmission fidelity, expressed in the wide use of terminological and general scientific vocabulary; logic, which is expressed in the sequence of expression of thoughts, presentation of evidence and argumentation, use of appropriate function words and phrases; design of a strict composition of the text; generality, abstractness, which is manifested in the selection of lexical material, special syntactic constructions; strictness and dryness of presentation, manifested in the rejection of evaluative vocabulary and means of speech expression. The article also studies the author's comparisons, metaphors, not only demonstrating the linguistic richness of the scientist, but also the thought process and subjective-sensory assessment of the author.

APPLICATION OF LINGUO-THEATRICAL APPROACH IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Background. Professional training of a teacher traditionally includes elements of theater pedagogy as a condition for mastering professional pedagogical skills; it has a special role to play in the preparation of a future foreign language teacher. The ability for language self-education develops in conditions of a deficit of an authentic linguistic and cultural environment, which can only partly be compensated by the visualization of educational material and the use of computer technologies. The authors reveal the didactic potential of linguo-theatrical technologies, which make it possible to imitate linguocultural markers and models of the country of the target language and, thereby, contribute to the development of a multicultural linguistic personality in a student at a pedagogical university. The purpose of the study is to analyze the specifics of using theatricalization, dramatization and staging techniques in foreign language classes at a pedagogical university. Materials and methods. The main research method is a comparative analysis of sources that present a multi-paradigm description of the introduction of linguistic and theatrical elements into the process of teaching a foreign language. Quantitative and qualitative indicators were identified through the use of verbal communication methods (questionnaires and oral communication). Results. The verifiability of the research results was confirmed by the introduction of a set of communicative and theatrical tasks developed by the authors into practice to ensure the implementation of a linguistic and theatrical approach to teaching students of the Department of Foreign Languages at the KSPU named after V.P. Astafyev (Krasnoyarsk). The technique of theatricalization (stage or role-playing embodiment of the features of foreign language discourse) has the greatest didactic potential; the technique of dramatization (situational personification of characters) can be used to a lesser extent - this is explained by the need to have background knowledge of an authentic communicative situation; staging (stage production with the use of theatrical props) is characterized by the complexity of its implementation and increased labor intensiveness, both on the part of the teacher and on the part of the students, which, nevertheless generates increased interest and contributes to a more solid formation of language and speech skills.

This article will talk about idioms used to describe a person's character. Through animalistic and somatic phraseology in the Kyrgyz and Arabic languages, an attempt was made to clearly reflect the negative qualities of the character of each nation. In our work, we divided negative qualities into thematic and physical parts. The negative nature and qualities of a person were described, the phraseological units expressing these qualities in the Kyrgyz and Arabic languages were taken from various texts and analyzed for their semantic and stylistic functions. It was shown that in the Kyrgyz and Arabic languages, phraseological combinations showing the negative nature and qualities of humanity differ in abundance and stylistic coloration, as well as the abundance of stylistic evaluative properties, compared to the phraseological units expressing the positive nature and qualities. Also, the artistic and aesthetic properties of this type of animalistic and somatic phraseology are shown through examples taken from the works. Animalistic and somatic phraseology includes one of the oldest layers of vocabulary, which is characterized by a high frequency of use, semantic stability and the ability to metaphorize. Phraseologisms characterize each individual culture and the native speakers of a given culture, allowing one to create a full-fledged portrait of a linguistic personality.

PROPER NAME AS AN EMOTIVE LEXICAL UNIT UNDER BILINGUALISM IN A MULTIETHNIC LINGUISTIC ENVIRONMENT IN THE LIGHT OF LANGUAGE POSITIVITY THEORY

The article deals with the linguistic category of emotivity. Informal forms of proper names are very re-levant onomastic material for the interpretation and substantiation of the theory of language positivity, since the word-building formants involved in their making, even outside the context and consituation, are able to convey the fi ne nuances of positive human emotions. The purpose of this research is to prove that anthroponymic emotives are both means of explication and implication, manifestation and concealment of emotions. To achieve the goal, a sur-vey of respondents was conducted. The questions used a sample of the most popular, rare and average frequency names in Bashkortostan for 2022, including female names like Amina, Octavia and Valeria, and male names such as Amin, Justin and Vladimir. A number of questions asked about the proper names of informants and their attitudes towards the use of diminutive forms. The analysis of responses showed that most respondents perceived these forms positively. The main scope of these names was limited to communication with loved ones. The frequency of use of informal vocatives in 57.1% of responses was determined by the situation. Participants in the survey off ered 24–80 variants for diminutive forms, which according to respondents implied a subjective positive evaluation. Among the diminutive suffi xes of anthroponyms, the most positive emotional connotation is carried by suffi xes such as -ochkand -ik. Linguistic and cultural analysis has allowed us to identify value dominants and stereotypes of communica-tive behavior among linguistic personalities. The extralinguistic interpretation of diminutive proper names provides a reason to regard onomastic units (anthroponyms) as positively connotated emotives. Based on the results of the research, we can conclude that the ethnically specifi c feature of speech in bilingual conditions, using the onomastics of the Republic of Bashkortostan as an example, is the tradition of person naming that has developed in the native language as well as the use of Russian word-formation patterns.

SOCIAL NETWORKS FOR EDUCATORS AND SCIENTISTS IN ASPECT OF LINGUIST PERSONOLOGY: SPEECH GENRES OF IMAGE CREATION

The article analyzes the main speech genres of posts on the Facebook social network that present the personal image of scientists and educators. The purpose of the research is to determine and characterize the peculiarities of the presentation of the professional image of scientists and educators in social networks in terms of the use of speech genres. The object of the research is the verbal content of the network discourse, and the subject of the research is the linguistic means of representing the linguistic personality in the network discourse. The material for the analysis was the open personal pages of Ukrainian scientists and educators in the Facebook, in particular the actual verbal content for the year 2024. In total, more than 100 profiles of Ukrainian scientists and educators were analyzed.It is proven that the linguistic personality of a scientist and educator is formed primarily in the process of professional activity and socialization, and its presentation in social networks involves the creation of author’s content, active participation in professional communities and interaction with colleagues. The main form of presentation of a professional image is a personal page that combines verbal and non-verbal content. Within the limits of verbal content, the main means of forming a professional image is an original post in which different speech genres are distinguished. The most common speech genres representing verbal content on the personal page of a scientist and educator are a report and an announcement. Both genres are informative and are designed to acquaint the public with the achievements and activities of the content author. Ritual genres and dialogic interaction with colleagues are represented to a lesser extent. The least frequent is the analytical genre, which has features of argumentative discourse. In addition to original posts, scientists and educators share other users’ posts on social networks, participate as commentators in the discussion of current problems, in particular within the framework of specialized virtual communities.

О механизмах влияния на речевой узус в эпоху консциентальной войны

Russian language preservation in modern geopolitical conditions is the subject of the article: during the war to defeat consciousness in everyday speech communication, there is a struggle for the preservation of the Russian language, culture, and mentality of the nation. The article says that the national language is preserved only through the use of a literary language. The author shows the mechanisms of influence on speech use by artificially forming the evaluative background of an utterance in order to influence the motivational aspect of a linguistic personality – its pragmaticon.The article describes how humanitarian intervention creates factors of destruction of culture and national language: historically established ethical rules of communication are broken, stylistically reduced speech patterns, false concepts are introduced, the prestige of a high level of language proficiency is denied. The author identifies channels of powerful influence on the Russian language from the English language:the language of the media, professional speech, and the design of the visual space of all public venues. The author shows that the issue of literary language protection affects a wide range of humanitarian problems in the life of the country, that the introduction of Anglicisms harms the lexical diversity of the Russian language and leads to a simplification of the cognitive picture of the world of native speakers. The article says that speech practice is the subject of research in various modern sciences about the life of language in society.

INTERLINGUAL COMMUNICATIVE POTENTIAL OF ENGLISH LEXICS THROUGH THE LENSES OF ECOLINGUISTICS

The paper examines ecolinguistics as a new trend in linguistics, resulting from the study of language and the environment. The article’s relevance is determined by the insufficient amount of works on ecolinguistics and its subsystems. The purpose of the study is to establish particularities of interlinguistic communication, studied within the framework of ecolinguistics, the idea of which originated at the end of the 19th century and got its prominence at present. The research methodology is based on the theoretical works of the most prominent domestic and foreign scholars. Ecolinguistics is the result of the interaction of academic disciplines including linguistics, philosophy, psychology and cognitive studies. The formation of ecolinguistics takes place in such domains as cultural, political and scientific spheres, revealing various aspects of language interaction with the thinking process and the surroundings. The study of ecolinguistics’ evolution and functioning requires a comprehensive approach. The scope of the study includes studying ecolinguistics, clarifying the origins of this branch, presenting it in a generalized form, as well as the peculiarities of translation aimed at preserving the purity of the target language. As a donor language, English considerably enlarges the vocabulary of every language it interacts with. This is manifested in the digital translation, facilitating the process of new words, nomenclatural formations and abbreviations dissemination. The study has shown that the use of digital technologies developing in the digital world ensures the entry of the linguistic personality into the unified system of ecological space. It is concluded that lexical and grammatical units of different languages can peacefully coexist in one text without violating the integrity and harmony. It contributes to the effective interlinguistic communication determined by the ecospace of a particular language.

Языковые особенности молодежных субкультур (на примере субкультуры эмо)

The article examines the linguistic features of various subcultures, which is an urgent problem of modern linguistics. This is because of their wide and rapid spread among young people. A special case of this type of linguistic personality is the emo linguistic personality, which is the object of this study. The study of linguistic material, which is an emic discourse, allows you to cover the intellectual sphere of the personality, the linguistic personality of EMO, characterized by its worldview, worldview, which is based on the emic philosophy of death and immortality. The pur-pose of the article is to identify the linguistic features of the EMO subculture, reflecting the phi-losophy, life values and principles of its representatives. The article summarizes new material on the topic under study, taken from EMO forums, which allows us to identify certain specifics of the subcultural language of EMO kids. Based on the study, several deliberate phonetic, spelling, and grammatical distortions of words have been detected, resulting in the development of occasional words, some of which may be conditionally recognized. An attempt was made to determine the ways of creative expression in the speech of emo subculture members. The examination of EMO forums revealed that aphorisms are often used in the speech activity of representatives of this sub-culture, which may be classified relativistically into groups. It has been shown that language is an important means of representing the philosophy and life beliefs of representatives of the emic subculture, which encourages the free expression of one’s own feelings.

POLITICAL INTERNET MEMES: A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE

The article is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of memes, which are a controversial aspect of modern communication, the subtleties of which have not yet been studied. The analysis of language material shows that the combination of verbal and non-verbal components of memes creates an autonomous information entity that is capable of self-reproduction of the representation of a linguistic personality at the phonetic, lexical, grammatical, cognitive and pragmatic levels in political discourse. In this realm, the concept of the “political internet meme” emerges, denoting a specialized form of political discourse that combines visual and verbal components to sway an audience into the realm of political communication. These memes combine traditional political terminology with colloquial vocabulary strategically designed to achieve persuasive goals. Generally, political internet memes are created through affixation and the use of simplified grammatical structures without articles, often intentionally including spelling and grammatical errors to increase their impact. In pursuit of a comedic effect, the creators of political Internet memes use a whole arsenal of stylistic and linguistic means. These include complex wordplay involving phonetic and morphological manipulations, various expressive techniques, and playful experiments with typography and punctuation. Thanks to such means, memes go beyond the simple transmission of information, turning into powerful tools of political expression and persuasion.

STUDY OF NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION OF CONFERENCE INTERPRETERS’ LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY

The article is devoted to the relevance and significance of nonverbal communication in a comprehensive approach to the study of the linguistic personality of a conference interpreter. The author explains the use of the communicative-functional approach to the analysis of verbal and nonverbal behaviour of the interpreter’s linguistic personality. The hypothesis of the study brings out that the nonverbal behaviour of the interpreter’s linguistic personality is determined by the content of the translated utterance, the interpreter’s internal motivation and intention (the pragmatic level of the linguistic personality), and it is consistently proved that nonverbal means shall be considered as part of the structural model of the linguistic personality, influencing the verbal representation of the linguistic personality. The author analyses a nonverbal sign (at its beginning, middle and end of its expression) and a translation syntagm as minimal units of study. The units of the study were collected by solid sampling from 14 video recordings of interpretation series, total study includes 105 minutes with records of nonverbal signs used by linguistic personality the interpreters participated in the study. As a result, the author classified nonverbal signs into vegetatives and somatives, and she structurally described the content of the groups of kinesic somatives, oculesic somatives and prosodic somatives, presenting the semantic content of nonverbal signs; within kinesic somatives, the author described a subgroup of comfort-gestures. The paper concludes about the prospect of further study of nonverbal communication and its importance for the study of linguistic personality in general.

SEMANTIC FIELD “POWER” IN’S NOVEL “THE ARC FOR THE UNINVITED” BY VLADIMIR MAKSIMOV

The article presents a comprehensive description of the semantic field ‟Power” in the novel by the well-known Russian prose writer of the 2nd half of the 20th century, Vladimir Yemelyanovich Maksimov. The purpose of the study is to identify the structural and semantic features of the field, the communicative and pragmatic properties of its nuclear components, which are semantic dominants of the text and actively participate in organising the artistic narrative, depicting characters and events, and explicating the conceptual content of the study. An analytical review of the main linguistic studies devoted to the study of the phenomenon of authority in Russian culture and linguistic consciousness, and the scientific description of semantic fields in the system of language and speech is carried out. Modelling the field structure of the novel is based on the principles of discourse analysis of the text, and it is determined by the specifics of the writer’s linguistic personality, the individual originality of the artistic picture of the world, the genre-stylistic and plot-compositional features of the work, and the linguacultural situation of the depicted era. The component composition of the field, its core, centre and periphery, and microfields are consistently characterised. Semantic connections and intersections of field components are determined with contextual conditionality of additional meanings revealed. The semantic field ‟authority” combines four microfields: the central part of the field structure includes the microfields ‟state authority” and ‟God power”, the peripheral zone includes the microfields ‟family authority” and ‟authority and power of natural elements”. The core of the field includes the key lexemes of authority, power and the leader. The semantic dominants of the text, being components of the analysed field structure, contribute to the development of action in space and time, create narrative polyphony, reflect the author’s position, and convey the bright features of the writer’s linguistic personality.
