Annotation. Linguistic and cultural bases of formation of linguistic personality of philological students can be used as classification signs in document classification, as semantic concepts in generating thesauruses and ontologies, as supporting concepts in media content analysis. In virtually all automatic text processing tasks, such as annotation, indexing, classification, machine translation, knowledge extraction, and more. it will be necessary to produce the terminology. This monograph calls for the description and systematization of these methods in order to determine the future and development issues of language identity formation. The importance of the identified issues is based on the phenomenon of information explosion in modern society. It is intended for research workers, specialists, university teachers, doctoral students, graduate students and students in the field of language personality formation. Key words: word culture, speech culture, linguistic personality, linguistic personality of the student, formation of linguistic personality.

Konstruirovanie sovremennoy effektivnoy modeli obucheniya inostrantsev russkomu yazyku na printsipakh antropologicheskoy lingvodidaktiki

The relevance of the work is due to the need to optimize the educational process by its integrating on all its main parameters; to free up the working time of students, to increase the productivity of educational activities and ensure the high quality of mastering the learning materials by means of multidimensional and multi-level integrative units in educational speech activity in the Russian language. The aim of the research is to present an integrative model of efficient educational speech activity of international students in the Russian language, as well as implementing this model within a specific lesson. The study was carried out on the material of audio recordings of classroom discourse in learning groups of international students, A2-B1 level of the Russian language proficiency. The method of modeling, based on integrating and differentiating units correlation and generalization of best practices in teaching Russian to foreign learners were used. A descriptive model of teaching Russian to international students has been developed, based on the bidirectional and multifaceted integrative system, scaling: a) from the personality-based activity approach, across its three principles (anthropological, communicative and cognitive), to operating with the acquired language material (vertical perspective); b) from the integrative to differentiating units of the languages in contact in the process of educational cross-cultural communication at the level of text/discourse as communicative units (considering their verbalizations) (horizontal perspective). In accordance with the presented model, the development of the student's linguistic personality at the initial stage of learning Russian is based on the identified integrative units. In terms of content, these are microtexts of the following types: a) description; b) narrative, as well as structural units (words and word forms) that identify them and are included in the processes of internalization; in operational terms, this is the interaction of integrated reading-listening-speaking systems. The study demonstrates that both right-hemisphere and left-hemisphere international students easily include (integrate) into their linguistic consciousness a typified Russian-language description or narrative, as well as elements of reasoning, using the cognitive strategy “from synthesis to analysis”. The educational materials interiorized on the integrative basis allows these students further, at the B1 level, to cope with more complicated educational tasks, such as producing their own monologues/discourses of different types.

Creating the system of teaching Russian as a second language to primary school children from migrant families

In modern Russian schools, foreign-speaking children from migrant families study on a par with Russian-speaking classmates. To adapt in the educational space, such students should be bilinguals. The necessity of forming the Russian-speaking component of the bilingual language personality of children from migrant families determines the relevance of this work. The aim of the study is to create the system of teaching Russian as a second language to primary school children from migrant families. The material included the scientific works on Russian as a foreign and as a second language, studies on the social and linguistic adaptation of migrants. Methods of complex theoretical analysis and modeling were used. The model of teaching Russian as a second language has been created, including target, methodological, content, and procedural components. The characteristics of each component of the teaching process are given, the parts of the components and the main content of these parts are determined. The super goal of teaching is the formation of the Russian-speaking component of the bilingual language personality with the help of language adaptation, including interpersonal language adaptation, linguistic-cultural adaptation, meta-subject language adaptation, psycholinguistic adaptation. Integration of the target, methodological, content, and procedural components of the model will make teaching Russian as a second language structured and purposeful and will contribute to the formation of a bilingual linguistic personality of a child from a migrant family. The prospects of the research are further study and description of the model components, as well as testing the proposed system of teaching Russian as a second language.

The prose of a creative bilingual author as a variant of intercultural communication in an educational environment

of intercultural communication in the learning process. Intercultural communication through a work of art has a number of advantages in comparison with real-life communication, which has become the subject of research presented in the paper. Reading the literary text of a bilingual author is one of the options for intercultural communication, contributing to the establishment of a new cultural and linguistic space. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to describe an innovative approach to the establishment of a new cultural and linguistic space ("secondary" linguistic personality) in the process of mastering the phenomenon of the author's literary text as a creative bilingual personality and classifying the discussed variant of intercultural communication as integrated in the context of two cultures. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is represented by an interdisciplinary approach to understanding cultural phenomena, involving the results of achievements in other sciences. Results. As one of the integrative approaches, the interdisciplinary unity of linguistics and "neo-rhetorics" is actualised, in the context of which the circumstances that act as factors determining the specifics of intercultural communication when reading a literary text are described. Conclusions. Consideration of the general issues of the strategy of linguistic competence of students in academic conditions allows formulating some recommendations and solutions for the use of a bilingual author's literary text as a variant of intercultural communication in teaching practice. The source in this study is the artistic publicism of the Kazakh bilingual writer and publicist A. Alimzhanov.

Gender Features of a Literary Text

The article sets the task of the features of writing a modern literary text. Analyzes in the linguistics of contemporary literary texts are explored in connection with deep linguistic personalities in cultural, social and discovery aspects. In recent years, the number of studies that are associated with paying special attention to the characteristics of male and female languages and their linguocultural representation in works of art has increased, which are considered as priority research in the field of philosophy. However, it is important to choose the meaning of the gender image in a literary text from a cognitive point of view. The main purpose of the article is to show the cognitive nature of the author in the presented literary text, the linguoculturological use of the gender image. Several authors of modern fiction are used as an object. Having recognized the linguoculturological features of a literary text in the gender aspect, it is possible to evaluate the use of complex theoretical material common to language and literature. In addition to being able to use artistic tools in the Kazakh language in writing an artistic text, it is very important to be able to clarify the rules and requirements of language science, the rules of stylistics in creating an artistic text. In journalism, the relevance of the text in society is also considered due to the peculiarities of its writing. Therefore, the functional types of language in the literary text: description, narration, reasoning can be the main ways of composing the text. The linguistic side of the analysis of a literary text is of great practical importance in terms of feeling the aesthetic and poetic power of the word, making the possibility of judgments through understanding. Using the results of new trends and research emerging in modern journalism when analyzing text is very important and a requirement of the time.

Elements of the Functioning of the Universal vs. Relative Concept Antinomy in Translation

Recent research in the field of translation studies frequently frames issues related to the choice of translation strategies determined by several factors of an objective and subjective nature. Among the subjective factors of particular importance is the cognitive one, i.e., cultural, encyclopedic, and linguistic personality of the translator, since it is the translator who ensures the quality of intercultural communication and the degree of pragmatic, semantic and communicative transfer of the message from the original into the translation. At the heart of the researched topic is an attempt to examine, in a concrete pragmatic context, an antinomy that influences the choice of the translation strategy. This is the binomial constituted by the concepts of universal vs. relative and how they motivate the choice of the translation algorithm, especially of a literary text. The theoretical framework of the problem addressed is represented by the views Professor Eugeniu Coșeriu has about language, and about particular languages in a re-evaluation adapted to the translation process. A special value in this process is given to the primary universals of creativity, semanticity, otherness as well as to the secondary universals - historicity and materiality which are seen in the light of literary translation of languages belonging to different language families - Romance, Germanic, Slavic. In conclusion, we try to argue that there is no need, but it is rather beneficial to avoid categorical separation of conceptual and translation approaches, either from the perspective of universalism or relativism. The choice of translation strategy is always flexible, it is adapted to the concrete translation situation, to the national culture and to the rules and norms of functionality of concrete languages.

VERBAL-SEMANTIC LEVEL OF THE LANGUAGE PERSONALITY OF A VOLGA GERMAN (BASED ON MY CHILDREN BY G. YAKHINA)

The article describes the verbal-semantic level of the linguistic personality of a Volga German based on the material of G. Yakhina’s novel My Children.
 The question of the linguistic personality as an object of linguistics continues to remain one of the most pressing, since the linguistic personality in the conditions of intercultural communication, with a certain set of skills require a comprehensive and integrative approach. There is still no single concept of understanding the linguistic personality with theoretical and methodological positions. However, it is obvious that the variety of positions on this linguistic object allows one to refer to various kinds of material: in particular, modern Russian novel. The novel My Children represents relevant and valuable material for study if it is considered from the perspective of the anthropocentric paradigm of linguistics. This is due to the presence in the novel of a large number of linguistic personalities, interesting both in their verbal-semantic component, as well as in their cognitive and pragmatic ones.
 The relevance of the chosen topic is also motivated by the linguistic personality of the writer Guzel Yakhina herself, who is a bilingual philologist, which cannot but be reflected in the language of her works. In the article, a specific example of the description and analysis of a certain level of a character’s linguistic personality is presented. The material included over 1000 examples of various subsystems and different levels of linguistic units related to the characteristics of the phenomenon of linguistic personality. The main attention in the article is paid to the lexical and syntactic levels of text material, analyzed using the techniques of descriptive, semantic, functional-stylistic methods, as well as the method of stylistic interpretation, etc. The results of the study allow us to speak about the special linguistic personality of the Volga Germans with their own individual characteristics, in which both cultural and social components are clearly manifested, which is obvious when analyzing the verbal-semantic level of the linguistic personality; the conclusion about the possibility and potential of studying other components of linguistic personality in the presented way is substantiated.

TEXT IN NEW MEDIA: SPECIFICITY OF THE VERBAL COMPONENT

The priority tasks in the article are 1) understanding the phenomenon of new media as a technical, social and communicative phenomenon, 2) describing the specifi cs of new media in terms of semiotic, functional features, features of information decoding and derived features of the text of new media, genetically related to the traditional text, but transforming in the conditions of a new sociality. To solve the second problem, the texts of the news community “Lentach” (social network “VKontakte”) for the period from March 2022 to March 2023 were considered as empirical material and a number of their specifi c features were established. The thematic fi eld of the analyzed texts was not a relevant feature for solving the problems of this article, but in order to achieve a long-term goal (determining the communicative strategies of a media text), the selection of texts was based on the criterion of the presence of political topics in the text (aspects of foreign and domestic policy were taken into account). In the polycode media text of new media, within the framework of this article, the object of attention was its verbal component: the traditional nature of its presence in the media message was noted and a number of specifi c features were established at diff erent levels of text organization. At the phonetic-graphic level, visual techniques for segmenting information and simulating oral speech are observed; on morphemic – intensifi cation of creative word-formation processes; on lexical – stylistic and speech interference, instrumental use of tropes and lexical resources, specifi c metaphorization of the text; at the syntactic level – activation of expressive syntax. In the texts of new media, as in traditional ones, variations of the language game are found, the functions of which can be considered the self-identifi cation of the linguistic personality, the eff ects of media infl uence, the activation of the dialogue potential of the media text, the destruction of the classical linearity of the media text.

Этнические стереотипы в материалах сайта CNN в 2011-2022 гг.

The paper presents the results of a linguistic study of ethnic stereotypes, which was conducted using the material of CNN publications posted on the English-language website in 2011-2022. The aim of the research is to determine the evaluative orientation of ethnic stereotypes that receive linguistic objectification in CNN articles and videos during the specified period. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that, based on the analysis of linguistic material, the evaluative characteristics of ethnic groups that have become the subject of description in the mass media have been identified and their typical behavior patterns have been verified. Using linguistic research methods, the authors of the paper have obtained scientifically confirmed data suggesting that the repeatability of assessments, including those explicated through keywords, forms a stereotype as a mental image and makes it accessible to the perception of a linguistic personality. The research findings show that the negative characteristics of ethnic groups were more frequently actualized in CNN materials during these years, which corresponds to the generally accepted scientific thesis about the predominance of negative assessments in heterostereotypes. Along with the successful interaction of representatives of different countries in such spheres of life as tourism, fashion, sports, the growth of interethnic tensions in political communication contributed to the formation of a negative image of “strangers” in the worldview of US citizens, as evidenced by value judgments recorded in linguistic form in the media texts.

Учебник иностранного языка как семиотический феномен (на материале линейки учебников «English File»)

The aim of this paper is the semiotic analysis of a foreign language textbook as a semiotic phenomenon reflecting the cognitive attitudes of its authors and aimed at forming not only external but also deep layers of the learner's linguistic personality, responsible for motivation, intents and attitudes. The material to be analysed is a popular line of EFL textbooks “English file” by British authors Ch. Latham-Koenig and C. Oxenden. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time a foreign language textbook is considered not as an educational and methodological text, but as an alternative reality, a dynamic complex sign, similar to the discursive space of a fiction book. The study is conducted by applying the method of contextual analysis, the method of cognitive-pragmatic analysis, and the interpretive method to the polycoded texts of EF-textbooks. The authors conclude that the semiotic complex of EF-textbooks exhibits the characteristics of an educational novel of fiction, where the learner assumes the function of a fairy-tale hero, acting in the space of English-language cultural mythologems, reference-metric elements, topoi and narratives. As a result of active realisation of the happy end narrative, supported by the system of topoi and precedent names characteristic of the English-language conceptosphere, the textbook uses the suggestive potential of the so-called soft power to form changes at the motivational-pragmatic level of the linguistic personality.

Эволюция концепта «языковая личность» в процессе конструирования социальной реальности

The article presents the stages of transformation of the concept “linguistic personality” in correlation with the changes of social reality. The reasons for the appearance of the concept “communicative personality” in connection with the formation of the social reality of the information society are substantiated. Comparative analysis of these concepts, involving linguistic, socio-cultural and socio-psychological factors is presented. The “linguistic turn” in socio-humanitarian research contributed to a new content of linguistic personality as a discursive concept. The sociological approaches of M. Weber and P. Bourdieu are given as the theoretical grounds of the connection between the social status of a linguistic personality and its belonging to a certain speech community. The example of the sociolinguistic discourse proves the influence of the level of education, linguistic in particular, on the access of the linguistic/communicative/discursive personality to the social lift (professional career development). Thus, the linguistic personality as a subject of social reality construction creates and maintains social communication, contributes to the enlargement of knowledge, intergenerational connections and, ultimately, to the improvement of the quality of life.

Полевый подход к рассмотрению ономастического фрагмента языковой личности военнослужащего

This article is devoted to the application of the field approach to the organization of the onomasticon of the military community. A modern linguistic personality communicates using varied vocabulary, a special place being occupied by proper names as one of the most important means of reflecting national culture. A highly effective approach to distinguishing and identifying systemic relations in the rich onomastic vocabulary as well as determining their structural, semantic, and functional properties is the field approach. In the traditional understanding of the onomastic field of the Russian language, the nucleus is made up of anthroponyms (personal names, patronymics, surnames, nicknames and pseudonyms), the near-nuclear zone, of anthropocentric proper names (theonyms, mythonyms, zoonyms and ethnonyms), while the peripheral zone, of proper names exhibiting features of the appellative-onymic boundary; at the same time, toponyms and cosmonyms are dispersed both in the nucleus and on the periphery, depending on the size of the object and whether it is well known or not. With regard to the closed military community, the field approach, together with the author’s anthropocentric criterion, allowed us to obtain a different distribution of proper names used by Russian servicemеn in communication. The centre of the nucleus is comprised of official anthroponyms of the full name (first of all, the surname), which are individualized, unmotivated, systemic and stable. In the peripheral zone of the nucleus are call signs and nicknames that precisely fulfil the nominative and distinguishing function; they are motivated, relatively systemic and changeable. On the periphery of the field, we find military ergonyms, chrematonyms, toponyms and chrononyms. Ergonyms and chrematonyms have weak individualizing properties, are motivated, systemic, stable and gravitate more towards the nucleus due to their frequent use by the linguistic personality. Military toponyms and chrononyms belong to the immediate periphery of the onomastic field, but are not equidistant from the nucleus: they are motivated and weakly individualize what is being named. However, chrononyms are more systematized and more stable in time. The study sheds some light on both the features of the onomasticon of military discourse and on many general issues of the theory of proper names.

METAPHORICAL PICTURE OF ZAMOSKVORETSKAYA LIFE IN ARTISTIC PROSE BY A. N. OSTROVSKY

О новом словаре-справочнике цитат для школьников (Рецензия на издание: Дунев А.И. Цикады цитат. Цитатный минимум школьника. Словарь-справочник. – Санкт-Петербург: Изд-во РГПУ им. А.И. Герцена, 2022. – 160 с.)

The article represents a review of a glossary that contains quotes from school literary fiction books. The relevance of the publication is defined by disturbing trends of modern reality: teenagers' narrow reading interests, decrease in the general index of precedence, cognitive distortion while interpreting axiologically marked content of precedent units. The essential set of glossary units contains 350 quotes chosen according to the program content of literature education at school. The choice of quotes to be included in the glossary is due not so much to a methodological tradition as to the actual existence and frequency of the quote. A glossary entry includes several zones that give information about the length of a quote, its source and possible usage. Appendixes with quotes distributed accordingly to levels of education, as well as teaching tips to create various tasks based on quotes, add practical value to the glossary. The author of the glossary rightfully argues that the utterances that have become independent pieces of culture help to understand cultural meanings on the one hand, and on the other hand, start the mechanism of word coinage that affects the linguistic personality development.

Formation of a professional linguistic personality (based on texts in the specialty «Earth Sciences»)

In the conditions of intensive growth of scientific and scientific-technical information, rapid changeability and updating of the system of scientific knowledge there is a need to study issues related to professional communication. Users of scientific language master its culture gradually; acquire life experience, their own knowledge, general and professional erudition of the speaker. The aim of the article is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of linguistic means and identify the features of the implementation of professional linguistic personality of a scientist, author of scientific articles on the speciality «Earth Sciences». Special attention is devoted to a brief review of theoretical provisions of domestic researchers engaged in the study of professional linguistic personality and idiostyle. Scientific novelty lies in the analysis of linguistic means characteristic of the individual style of a scientist on a new linguistic material (scientific texts on the specialty «Earth Sciences»). This approach allowed us to consider the influence of a person's professional status on the texts produced by him/her. The material for the analysis is the articles selected by the method of continuous sampling on the scientific specialty «Earth Sciences». In addition, the method used in this article was continuous sampling method, content analysis, comparative analysis. The obtained results showed that in order to build a model of professional linguistic personality of a scientist, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive psychological and linguistic analysis of the scientist's texts at the verbal-semantic, linguistic-cognitive and pragmatic levels, highlighting the correlation and influence of ethno-cultural, socio-group and individual aspects of personality content. Despite the fact that the author of scientific articles is limited by the norms of scientific style, there are certain linguistic means that allow reflecting the author's uniqueness under the existing norms of text formation.

A COMPARATIVE PARADIGM OF NONFICTIONAL PROSE: A POLYASPECT LINGUISTIC DIMENSION

The purpose of the research is a qualification of comparativity as a component of nonfictional literature. The diaries, authored by the poet, novelist, literary critic and scientist Petro Soroka, were used as a source base. The actual base consists of comparativemas extracted from these works using the method of continuous sampling. The object of the article is a comparison, and the subject is semantic-functional, linguistic-cultural, neurolinguistic and pragmatic analysis of comparative constructions that make up a specific system. The researched diaries contain introversion and literary parts, each of which expresses the author’s inner world, reflections on nature or thoughts on the literary process. A special subsystem is represented by the epistemological-artistic comparative paradigm. We interpret the paradigm as a model of the world, and we define the comparative paradigm as a set of logical, semantic, functional and ethnocultural models that are appropriately verbalized and make up the system. In general, the comparative paradigm of the Ukrainian language is a complex system. The qualification of the comparative paradigm provides a comprehensive consideration of the phenomenon of comparison. The article provides a linguistic qualification of comparison. The logical types and subtypes of comparative models are determined, the specifics of comparison as a fragment of equivalence are outlined, some ethnocultural codes of the writer like his idea of environment and creativity are characterized, stylistic parameters and communicative aspects as an expansive complex comparative system are outlined. Petro Soroka is interpreted as a linguistic personality that correlates with the visual type of perception of the world.

PARAMETERS OF TEXT-DISCOURSE IN R. POWERS’S WORK “THE OVERSTORY”

This article attempts to analyze the text of R. Powers’s literary work "The Overstory" to identify the author's guidelines for producing the semantic content and new linguistic phenomena that modify the compatibility of significant lexical units in the composition of utterances. Based on the theory of author's consciousness (AC), introduced by the Doctor of philological sciences Butakova L.O., the conducted analysis allows defining the "author's" in the text, referring the researchers to the text producer’s linguistic personality. According to the researchers, the MEMORY concept is an essential component of the producer's concept system, acting as a source of semantic content and a bridge between the past (MEMORY) and the fictional (QUASI MEMORY). The content analysis of the text-discourse is carried out with the identification of markers of the textual content of the "global novel" according to the definition of the Italian researcher of the narrative Possamai D. These markers are precedent names, internationalisms, proper names indicating historical and geographical realities, non-usual verbal usage with a modification of the compatibility of lexical units and signs of sub-genre diffusion, manifested in the mixture of artistic and journalistic styles. The revealed data make it possible to establish the modification possibilities of natural language (English, American version), the degree of its flexibility in "support" of the author's statements, and the formation of new meanings.

SEMANTIC FEATURES OF POLITICAL VOCABULARY IN THE KAZAKH LANGUAGE

The paper defines all the linguistic means denoting political vocabulary. Linguistic concepts such as "political communication", and "political discourse" are considered, and several linguistic units that express them are defined. It is established that language and politics are not considered separately from each other, the analysis of the political system in Kazakhstan of various natures using the language, positions, and statements of public and state figures, and political leaders should be carried out at the junction of political, philological and linguistic research.A number of basic terms and methods covering the main problems of political linguistics are defined, and an explanation is given for each. In Kazakh society, the place of Alash leaders and activist S. Seifulin in the political discourse is characterized, and recognized based on their works by political leaders, and statesmen, conducting political discussions of a democraticeducational, educational-revolutionary orientation. So far, the language of political leaders has not been studied and cognitively studied only on the basis of their works.The relevance of our research lies in the study of the political linguistic personality of public figures who lived in Kazakh society within the framework of political discourse, the formation of a political linguistic personality based on slogans, reports, journalistic articles of socio-political content using stylistic structures and types of tropes of the artistic and political image in the language.The practical significance of the conclusions formulated in the paper is relevant for linguists, Alash scholars, literary critics, and other readers.
