COLLOQUIAL REGISTER IN THE PRAGMATICS OF A LITERARY TEXT

The purpose of the article is a linguistic analysis of communicative registers based on the material of works of art in the Kazakh language. The communicative register is a type of information represented in the text and allows you to judge: the statics or dynamics of what is happening (reproductive-descriptive and reproductive-narrative registers); the speaker’s position in relation to action: inside events (reproductive), distanced from events (informative, generative registers); the speaker’s intentions: expression of will (voluntary register) or reaction to the interlocutor’s remark, as well as the situation as a whole (reactive register). The communicative register is a type of information represented in the text and allows you to judge: the statics or dynamics of what is happening (reproductive-descriptive and reproductive-narrative registers); the speaker’s position in relation to action: inside events (reproductive), distanced from events (informative, generative registers. O. V. Evstafiadi compares directional and non-directional communicative registers, highlighting in the communicative register such quality as addressability. A person strives not only for mutual understanding when using linguistic symbols, but also to evoke a reaction from the listener to the information expressed by him. All these phenomena are realized in the speech act. In the mind of the speaker, based on internal and external factors of society, a communicative goal arises, the purpose of which is to influence the actions, attitude of the addressee or determine the essence of a specific problem. The choice of certain linguistic means and linguistic structures is based on the pragmatics of the dialogue text, the communicative goal of the speaker, his own opinion, approach, and the general level of knowledge of the communicants, depending on specific circumstances. Keywords: speech registers, communicative units, linguistic stylistics, speech activity, pragmatics.

The Dilemma and Solutions of the New Phenomena in the Network Subculture of Generation Z

As a new force on the internet, Generation Z has created a landscape of network subcultures in the new media era. They gather in groups based on shared interests, forming circle cultures such as the lying flat culture, partner culture, MBTI culture, and mystery box culture. Additionally, through the collage, deconstruction, and reconstruction of linguistic symbols, new internet terms like crazy literature, rat literature, and abbreviations have emerged. However, these emerging network subcultures face dilemmas such as label solidification due to excessive circling, bottomless traffic hype driven by entertainment supremacy, and value distortions caused by a lack of regulatory measures. To address these issues, Generation Z need to improve their information discernment capabilities to identify harmful online content. Mainstream media should guide appropriately to maintain the innovation and vitality of network subcultures. Meanwhile, the government should focus on the physical and mental health and needs of Generation Z, actively guiding them in scientifically relieving stress.

Hyponymy From a Semiotic Point of View

Purpose: In this article, by considering the linguistic symbols, the author shows that the recognition of this relation depends on the encyclopedic knowledge of sign users. Theoretical Framework: From the hyponymic point of view, this article concerns signs whose referents are in another possible relations can be expanded to different types of sign. Result and Discussion: The writer used two kinds of signs for showing the truth-value of the assumption. First, signs which are compound and are the result of a selection and combination of different referents. Second, the signs which, by changing the Context B, change their identity and interpretation. Value/Originality: Hyponymy is one of the most well-known lexical relations in lexical semantics world. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to demonstrate how hyponymic lexical and it is possible to generalize this relation to other types of signs in semiotics.

Improving Translation Quality: A Chinese-English Translation Study on the Profiles of Tourist Attraction in China Based on Cultural Awareness

The bilingual profiles of tourist attraction are used ubiquitously and seen everywhere in China. Whether foreign tourists can have an accurate understanding of and keen interest in a particular tourist attraction hinges directly on the quality of translation. However, various translation studies in this area focus on meaning equivalence of language as a symbol, whose function remains at the level of linguistic symbols’ equivalence transformation. This article is mainly concerned with the profiles of tourist attraction enormously adopted in China and their cultural translation from Chinese to English as well as the improved translation output based on data analysis from the perspective of cultural awareness, in an attempt to explore a cultural translation strategy, namely, liberal translation integrated with cultural awareness. Based on examples personally gathered from Mainland China, it is found that the translation of tourist attraction profiles is mainly studied in a linguistically descriptive way, without enunciating the deep culture beneath the surface of linguistic forms. Through detailed analysis of these examples, the study also shows that using liberal translation integrated with cultural awareness in tourism translation is more explicable and intelligible to foreign tourists. The article concludes that cultural awareness must be considered in the liberal translation of tourist attraction profiles so as to communicate clearer and more accurate meaning to the target audience.

How To Get About

AbstractThe ‘Only connect!’ that serves as epigraph to Forster's Howards End tolerates a variety of interpretations; but the very idea of a connection, or a relating of one thing with another, is conceptually deep. One form of connection is when something is about a thing, representing or symbolizing that thing. When we think of someone, or discuss something, we connect to them, or to it.In his Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein asks, ‘What makes my image of him into an image of him? […] Isn't my question like this: “What makes this sentence a sentence that has to do with him?”’ Wittgenstein thus notes the ramifications of his question: what makes her name hers? In virtue of what is this thought about them a thought about them? The issue he highlights has been with us since Plato's Cratylus and its history is unified by a presupposition: whatever makes it that (i) a bit of language (like a name or a sentence or any linguistic symbol) is about something is, fundamentally, also what makes it that (ii) a thought (or idea or image) is about a thing. The story of aboutness will be uniform, simplex, or so the presupposition has it.But the history of the issue has been one of failure: we still don't adequately understand the nature of representation. I will propose and develop a perspective that rejects the presupposition and explains the failure: there is more than one way for a thing to be about something. Representation comes, ultimately, in varieties.

Sounding out Semantics: The Limits of Philosophy

By advocating a “non-semantic” perspective of words as conditioned acoustic symbols rather than fixed representations, this book challenges the mainstream philosophy of language. It critiques the dualism and literalism that underpin linguistic theory, arguing that meaning emerges from usage, not semantics. In seven chapters, original frameworks aim to provide more accurate analyses of contextual human symbol use, which resolve enduring puzzles in the philosophy of language, mathematics, and epistemology. It is acknowledged in the book that discussing language using language itself is inherently difficult. This unified theory rejecting semantic assumptions could significantly transform the understanding of language acquisition, communication across cultures, and biases embedded in linguistic symbols if empirically validated. This seminal contribution provides valuable new insights into the emergence of meaning in human thought and communication by emphasizing conditioned usage and over-representation. In this review, we summarize the philosophy and significance of the book, and discuss its contribution to the field of study.

Nursing Interpersonal Communication Model for Schizophrenia Patients at Tampan Mental Hospital Pekanbaru

Schizophrenia is a neurological disorder and a serious type of mental illness that affects the patient's perception, thinking, language, emotions, and social behavior. Communicating with individuals suffering from schizophrenia requires special techniques because they tend to experience self-concept issues, immerse themselves in their own world, and exhibit physical well-being but mental unhealthiness. Effective communication with schizophrenia patients necessitates skilled nursing techniques and the ability to communicate effectively. From the perspective of communication science, the relationship between the nurse and the patient falls under interpersonal communication, or from the standpoint of health communication, it is therapeutic communication. The communication between the nurse and the patient creates interpersonal interaction using linguistic symbol systems, such as verbal and nonverbal systems. This study aims to describe and analyze interpersonal communication between nurses and Schizophrenia patients at Rumah Sakit Jiwa in the Riau Province. The research utilizes a case study method. The results show that the interpersonal communication used by nurses with schizophrenia patients at Tampan Mental Hospital in the Riau Province involves empathy, positive attention, and sincere acceptance demonstrated through both verbal and nonverbal forms. This fosters trust and openness in patients towards nurses, ultimately contributing to the improvement of schizophrenia patients' healing process.

أثر السماع والقياس في إثراء المعجم اللغوي للطفل

يعدُّ الكلام أبرز مظاهر تطور البشر وتفوقه على سائر مخلوقات الأرض، ولكي ينتج الكلام لابد من وجود اللغة التي تشتمل على عدد كبير من الرموز اللغوية، والتي تحتاج إلى علاقات ائتلافية معقدة ومتنوعة لا يتقنها إلا بنو البشر. وحتى يستطيع الإنسان التواصل مع غيره عليه أن يجمع ثروة من الكلمات ويخزنها في ذاكرته، وقد هيأ الله سبحانه وتعالى للإنسان وسائل تعينه على جمعها، ومن أبرز هذه الوسائل: السّماع والقياس. ولمّا كان السّمع أول الحواس التي يعتمد عليها الطفل للتواصل مع محيطه اللغوي واكتساب لغة قومه اكتسب السماع أهمية كبيرة تفوق القياس في إثرائه لمعجم الإنسان اللغوي، غير أنَّ ذلك لا يقلل من أهمية القياس؛ فمن المستحيل أن يسمع الإنسان كل صيغ اللغة وأساليبها المتنوعة.

언어학적 갈등분석과 갈등대화 연구

The purpose of this paper is to explore the classification and causes of conflict, as well as to investigate the potential for conflict research based on linguistic aspects. Conflict and discord are inevitable in our lives because our perspectives and understandings are diverse, making conflict a natural outcome. To achieve this, we seek to understand the characteristics and patterns of conflict discourse and examine the linguistic strategies and features employed in conflict dialogue. Conflict naturally manifests itself in non-verbal forms, but it is more effectively expressed when mediated through language. This is because linguistic symbols can reflect differences in opinions, conflicting understandings, and clashes of interests. The resolution of conflicts is rooted in mutual understanding and effective dialogue, emphasizing the importance of comprehending and respecting the other party's perspectives. From this perspective, linguistic scrutiny of conflict plays a crucial role in understanding and resolving societal conflicts.

Research on Address Terms in Downton Abbey from the Perspective of Leech’s Politeness Principle

Downton Abbey as the representative of British classic historic TV drama has been widely acclaimed since its first episode, which arouses a frenzy of interest in British culture in Edwardian. One of the important reasons for its popularity is that the linguistic style of the script is consistent with the rigid English social hierarchy. It precisely describes the elegant manner and strict etiquette of British society as well as their modest and humorous behaviors. Address in the script as an linguistic symbol can reflect the national customs, history, traditions and politics well. The address forms are rich and accurate in this drama, which is suitable for this study. Therefore, this thesis chooses the addresses from all six seasons as a corpus and divides them into two categories: social address and kinship address. Besides, Leech’s Politeness Principle is also used to analyze the social meaning and affective meaning that the addresses express in Downton Abbey, which is helpful in learning the use of address forms and promoting successful exchanges with different classes of English people. This thesis adopts exemplification and qualitative analysis method to make a detailed analysis of address terms. At the same time, through the combining method of static description and dynamic description, this thesis explores social culture and emotional expressions behind the linguistic characters. This study aims to enrich the address corpus and provide some references for intercultural communication to help English teaching and learning.

Al-'Ilm Al-Ḫudhūri: Philosophical Epistemology and Sufism Common Ground

<p>This article investigates the possibility of finding common ground between philosophy and Sufism. It aims to answer whether these two can converge on an epistemological level. The discourse of <em>al-'ilm al-</em><em>ẖ</em><em>udh</em><em>ū</em><em>ri</em> was used to answer this question. The main source for this article's study is the works of Mulla Sadra and Suhrawardi, which are analyzed descriptively with a philosophical approach. This article concludes that <em>al-'ilm al-</em><em>ẖ</em><em>udh</em><em>ū</em><em>ri</em> is a form of real knowledge obtained by individuals directly from God without needing mental representation or linguistic symbolism. This knowledge is spiritual, not sensory-rational. Mulla Sadra and Suhrawardi believe that the only way to obtain this knowledge is through spiritual observation by practicing Sufism, which involves the rites of <em>mujahadah</em> and <em>riyadhah</em>.</p>

EPISTEMOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF TRANSFORMATION OF ANTI-CORRUPTION LEGAL REQUIREMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF UKRAINE'S EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

The article reveals the epistemological context of transformations of anti-corruption legal requirements in the conditions of European economic integration of Ukraine. It has been established that the elimination of the dominance of human defects by the tools of legislation and law enforcement practices becomes effective when the reproducible knowledge reflects the scientific awareness. The subject of knowledge is the whole complex of issues of fostering the manifestation of good virtues and their suppression. Otherwise, both economic reproduction and economic progress are excluded. For Ukraine, both processes now depend on an understanding of the respective progressive solutions that the highly developed nations of the EU have to offer. In fact, integration into the EU is historically determined and currently historically inevitable, and therefore requires meaningful dynamic transformations of domestic legislation. The most urgent direction of these transformations requires interdisciplinary knowledge related to the fight against corruption and its minimisation. It has been established that the epistemological context of the creation and application of anti-corruption legal norms consists of scientifically proven, comprehensive knowledge about the mechanism of neutralisation of corruption by means of coercion and stimulation. The methodology of gaining knowledge through human consciousness involves the use of logical resources, namely 1) rational conclusions of formal logic; 2) contradictions and patterns of dialectical logic; 3) actions and events of historical logic; 4) artefacts of art logic. The truth of knowledge, verified by these means of reasoning and empirical experience, is then partly expressed by mathematical and linguistic symbols, and the rest is conveyed in an intuitive way. The understanding of that which does not fit into the forms of words and numbers is done mentally and sensitively. At this point, it should be emphasised that the praxeological dimension of pure epistemology requires taking into account the characteristics of the cognitive subjects of a specific social community. This requirement extends the scientist's sphere of responsibility beyond epistemology and involves mastering knowledge of its historical determinants. It is concluded that the teleological attitudes of the Ukrainian nation include the study of the values of European nations, which have united for the purpose of economic well-being. Integration into the EU requires knowledge of the mechanisms for combating human vices, eliminating corrupt distortions and using human virtues in EU structures. Regional civilisational stratification persists due to both intra-national and international dishonesty. Accordingly, global integration based on fundamentally unified legal standards requires the elimination of counterproductive factors at both levels of social communication. The focus of attention on good virtues is determined differently from the existing configuration of national associations. Economic and other issues of cultural heritage are first a consequence and then a cause of the manifestation of good virtues. At the same time, military alliances confirm the deep ideological contradictions of nations. This shows the denial of the possibility of creating a global union of nations based on the manifestation in legal reality of the good virtues of its members. It is on the basis of the legal manifestation of the degree of virtue that nations and their associations are formed in the modern world.

BAC, U KRY! Space, Albanian Commemoration and the Gheg Variety as a Linguistic Symbol of State Independence in Postwar Kosovo

Abstract This paper investigates the reconstruction of Albanian identity in Kosovo after the region's transformation to state independence in 2008. The cultural environment emerged as a site of ethnic appropriation and contestation in the longstanding interethnic struggles between the Albanians and the Serbs. The study examines the socio-symbolic and linguistic manifestations of national identity in Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo, through the lens of Linguistic Landscape Studies. The first aspect of the study investigates M. Theresa Boulevard, the central promenade of the city and a site of memory and commemoration, to highlight how the period of South Slavic hegemony in Kosovo and the recent interethnic war resulted in a redefinition of Albanian identity. The second aspect of the study focuses on the written manifestation of the Gheg variety of Albanian as a symbol of Kosovo's independence. Through this dual focus on memory and language, the study aims to arrive at an understanding of how new national and political self-identifications are shaped in contexts that have undergone ethno-political conflicts and socio-political shifts. We argue that the symbolic configuration of Kosovo suggests a redefinition of Kosovo-based Albanian identity following the transformation to state independence. The study contributes to an understanding of the multi-layered redefinition of Albanian identity in Kosovo, calling attention to language and memory in the process of constructing national identities in postwar contexts.

Cross-Culture Communication of Japanese Animated Films in China Within the New Media Context

Compared to traditional media, new media is characterized by openness, personalization, segmentation, and cost-effective global communication. It provides a wider platform for films and enables individuals to explore cultural identity within a vast digital community. This paper focuses on cross-cultural communication of Japanese animated films in China, specifically analyzing Sezume directed by Makoto Shinkai. By examining distribution channels, promotional strategies, and narrative elements, the study first illustrates how new media offers opportunities and challenges for cross-cultural film communication. Furthermore, it explores how Sezume skillfully utilizes cultural context to reduce cultural misunderstanding, then apply linguistic symbols and non-linguistic symbols to integrate the world series narrative framework with universal thematic expression. Finally, the paper presents recommendations for the cross-cultural communication of animated films: adopt all-age positioning and harmonize global appeal with Japanese tradition and feature; value fans and make long-term commitments with them; collaborate with local agencies in target audience countries; maintain distinctive artistic style and convey universal themes.

Interpreter’s Subjectivity in Interpreting from The Perspective of Interpretive Theory-- An Example of Zhang Jing's Interpretation in the 2021 China-US High-Level Strategic Dialogue

Interpreters, who are the main actors in interpretation, might even play a decisive role in some negotiations. But in conventional interpretation, they were frequently disregarded or even undervalued to the point where they were once referred to as "translation machines." This essay uses interpretive theory as a guide to analyze the subjectivity of interpreters in political and diplomatic meetings, using the 2021 China-US High-level Strategic Dialogue as the research object. It aims to further explore the factors that influence interpreters' subjectivity in diplomatic activities. According to the study, interpreter acts as a mediator between the two parties as well as a transmitter of information, and is required to have an extensive spectrum of expertise. Based on proper comprehension, he or she should be immune from the linguistic symbols of the source language, allow full display of subjectivity, and flexibly employ methodologies of interpretation to reformulate in a manner that is consistent with the conventions of the targeted language.

A Study of the Body Symbolization and Mediatization and Emotional Consumption of a Streamer

Live streaming is prevalent in news communication, leisure and entertainment, daily consumption, advertising, mass education, and telemedicine fields of our daily lives in China. Such hotly debated words as e-commerce, live streaming, short video, and growing figures reflect a new change in the universal lifestyle in the Internet era. Live streaming, a new form of communication, may become a critical medium for people to connect with society. Based on the perspective of symbolic interactionism, this article explores the body symbolization and mediatization and emotional consumption of a streamer. Streamers bolstered by the consumption society, add a new body spatial dimension through body symbolization and mediatization, thus creating the desire and impulse for consumption among viewers on the one hand. People are increasingly reliant on products and services related to emotion provided by the market to meet their emotional needs in modern society on the other hand. Streamers, as a medium, have become one of the main suppliers of these products and services. As emotional labor and consumption become increasingly prevalent, streamers utilize emotional, physical, and linguistic symbols to convey a symbolic narrative. Consumers actively engage in the interpretation of these image texts and participate in live consumption through symbolic interaction. Streamers inject a sense of competition, intimacy, visual pleasure, and watch desire into the emotional structure of viewers unattainable through traditional media, which drives their consumption behavior for emotion.

COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF USING EMOJIS IN RUSSIAN AND CHINESE NEW MEDIA

In the modern world, the means of communication have changed dramatically. Mass media and various media forms of messaging have significantly impacted the content and dissemination of traditional linguistic messages and messages containing symbols, leading to the overall development of research in this direction in various branches of science. The emergence of new media is based on the development of the Internet and communication technologies. In this regard, the uniqueness of the culture of new media is explained by the enrichment of corresponding features of the Internet culture, which has specific properties. As an integral element of the new media culture, Internet emojis represent a characteristic communication feature in the new media era. Emojis are visualization-based online linguistic symbols consisting of signs, words, pictures, videos, and other elements. The rapid development of new media has led to online emojis becoming a new way of expression, used daily in communication by Internet users. This article briefly reviews the research on emojis, collects certain information from the Internet about their use, and studies the facts of the origin and development of emojis. It reveals the similarities and differences in emoji usage on Russian and Chinese Internet platforms. For the study of symbolic characteristics of the new media culture, emojis are studied from the lingua-cultural perspective. The study shows that new media's digital and interactive communication capabilities have significantly influenced people's lifestyles and interpersonal interactions, creating socio-linguistic institutions and influencing linguistic and cultural representations. The everyday use of emojis by users of new media in the Russian and Chinese online communities is the result of the development of new media technologies and, at the same time, reflects the influence of globalization and Western culture. Cultural differences between the Chinese and Russian peoples, in turn, manifest themselves in the difference between user preferences and lead to the formation of peculiar trends in the use of emojis.

INFORMATIVE-BACKGROUND FEATURES OF NAMES AND PROPER NAMES

As one of the urgent problems of modern Kazakh linguistics, it is possible to form a theoretical and methodological basis for the field of poetic onomastics by studying the title of a work of art, names denoting the character on the part of the writer. Consideration of onyms in the language of the work, including poetonyms in cognitive orientation in ethno–cultural and ethno-linguistic integrity - onomastic units that mentally characterize the surrounding reality, serves as a basis for maximum refinement of the experience of cognition accumulated on the scale of "language-consciousness-nation".The language of fiction occupies a special place in the language of a certain nation. That is, the literary language plays a huge role in the development and formation of the national language. The fact that linguistic means are factual material for the formation of a literary language considers their independent need for individual author's use as an aesthetic category.The scientific article tells that onomastic units in a work of art are not only the result of artistic thinking of a native speaker, but also ethno-cultural and linguistic symbols covering all spheres of life of the nation. In addition, the features of the titles are illustrated by the plot of the work, the meaningful idea, the world of artistic images, the language of the hero and the truce of the hero. Thus pointing out that under the name of each hero lie age-old worldviews, national identity, national character, national traditions, linguistic phenomena arising from national beliefs, the authors note that they are linguocultural in nature, as well as differentiation of the specifics of the use of names in a work of fiction and clarification of nominal properties are part of the definition of language expression and culture.

Exploring Localization Translation Strategy under Cultural Compatibility Principle

In the context of globalization, multiculturalism is intertwined, and the importance of localization services is increasing. This paper observes the development of localization, analyzes different types of texts by referring to localized translation practices, and seeks localized translation strategies from the perspective of cultural compatibility. Results find that 1) the goal of localization is to integrate and expand into the target market, thus domestication should be the main translation strategy. 2) Given that source language products have many linguistic symbols that contain cultural connotations, the strategy of foreignization is also essential. Therefore, the contribution of this paper inspires translators wisely combine the translation strategies that of domestication and foreignization when translate, considering user's psychological acceptance and aesthetic orientation.

WAYS OF TRANSMISSION OF ETHNOCULTURAL UNITS IN THE CORPUS

The paper substantiates the need to include in the national corpus of the Kazakh language the names of material culture in the system of ethnocultural units of the Kazakh language through their description, as well as the need for their marking in the corpus.Ethnocultural units are linguistic symbols with a large cumulative function, reflecting the national identity of the Kazakh language, preserving the language, traditions, worldview, and spiritual world of the nation. Therefore, the language is supported by national culture.Currently, intensive language study is being conducted in an anthropocentric direction. In this regard, the deepening and expansion of the process in this direction are determined by the relevance of the assembly of national buildings. The national corpus of the Kazakh language is a modern innovative and informational tool that serves as a guardian of such national cultural units in a broad way, a carrier of them for generations.The research paper describes the ways of introducing ethnocultural units into the National Corpus of the Kazakh language: coding, modeling, and using algorithmic and programmatic approaches when introducing ethnocultural units into the National Corpus. First of all, collecting ethnocultural units that are the basis for creating the corpus base, determining their cultural and semantic groups and compiling a list of words related to this the group. Transfer each of them to professional programmers only after applying the markup code. Programmers must work on a certain algorithm and carry out further processing. Works to be done in the future are considered as well.The research work is dedicated to the consideration of the issues of inclusion in the corpus of the Kazakh language of markings defined based on the National corpus of the Kazakh language (morphological, word-formation, semantic, lexical, phonetic, and phonological markings) as cultural and semantic markings.
