Вербализация концепта КУЛЬТУРА в интернет-дискурсе жителей Казани: когнитивно-прагматический аспект

The purpose of the study is to identify the cognitive and pragmatic specifics of the regional verbalization of the concept CULTURE. The article examines the lexical, cognitive and pragmatic representation of this mental fragment based on the virtual discourse of Kazan residents. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the appeal to the little-studied subgenre of Internet commentary in the social network VKontakte in Russian linguistics. For the first time, Kazan residents' comments on news publications posted on the VKontakte social network are analyzed from the point of view of cognitive and pragmatic linguistics. The analysis made it possible for the first time to describe the specifics of the verbalization of the concept CULTURE by the residents of Kazan. Based on the analysis of the material, linguistic units and dominant speech genres representing the concept CULTURE were identified and described. As a result of the study, it was found that this mental unit in the minds of Kazan residents has a certain structure, the so-called mental layers, which can only be captured by recording verbalization – they make up the inner content of this concept (periphery); nominalization of this concept is more positive, occurs through lexemes with a positive connotative meaning, as well as through evaluative speech genres of approval and praise.

М. Қашқаридің «Диуани лұғат-ит-түрк» еңбегіндегі есімшелер және олардың адъективтенген, заттанған тұлғалары

In the study of the history of the formation and development of the Kazakh language, ancient and middle Turkic monuments occupy a special place. The study and analysis of linguistic forms in the work of M. Kashgari «Divan lugat at-turk» is one of the urgent tasks today. Although this work has been widely studied in the literary and historical context, it has not yet been fully studied from the point of view of linguistics and the theory of Kazakh linguistics. Therefore, this article analyzes the participles in the «Dictionary» of M. Kashgari, as well as their adjectival and substantivized forms. This topic is considered for the first time in Kazakh linguistics.

WHAT IS THE LINGUISTIC PICTURE OF A WORLD IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS?

This article delves into the fascinating world of cognitive linguistics, an interdisciplinary field that explores the intricate relationship between language, thought, and conceptualization. Like a vibrant tapestry woven with threads from cognition, pragmatics, and function, cognitive linguistics views language as a powerful cognitive tool, encoding and transmitting information through symbols and signs. Within the depths of the human mind, concepts take shape, forming a mosaic of interconnected ideas that find expression in the rich tapestry of language. Cultural experiences, customs, and historical contexts add hues and shades to this linguistic picture, creating a diverse and captivating conceptosphere that reflects the beauty and complexity of our shared human experience.

The pathways of political elites in the modern information and communication reality

The article is devoted to the socio-political understanding of the functioning of the political and administrative elite in the modern information and communication space. The relevance of the research topic is based on the need to redefine, in current political and social reality, the concepts of political elite and administrative elite, as well as to identify its distinctive features. The authors lead theoretical foundations for defining the concepts of political elite and administrative elite from the point of view of linguistics and political science, analyse the approaches and models of western and domestic researchers on the problem of relations between the political and administrative elites, and put forward the thesis about the relative independence of the administrative elite as a category of political science analysis and the validity of studying public administration outside the framework of the concept of the dichotomy of political and administrative elites. The final part of provides the authors’ assessment of the role and the pathways of Western political elites in the context of modern geopolitical reality.

Phase-locking of oscillatory acoustic signals reflects syllable progression and variation

While a common linguistic view of the cognitive representation of speech is that it is composed of sequenced syllable units, how exactly syllables as abstract cognitive compositional structure relate to quantifiable patterns in the observable signals of articulation and acoustics remains opaque. Previous work has suggested that oscillatory acoustic properties can serve to link linguistic representations and physical events (Tilsen & Arvaniti 2013). We further probe this relationship by testing the temporal coordination between oscillatory signal measures—changes in spectral energy and in amplitude—and syllable boundary locations through the use of phase-locking analyses (Lancia et al. 2023). Results in both English and Tashlhiyt for vocalic and consonantal syllabic nuclei show significant phase-locking values (PLVs) and demonstrate that these signal measures track syllable progression across typologically different languages. Furthermore, the cross-language preferences in syllable nucleus types are reflected in their respective PLVs. Specifically, vocalic nuclei exhibit the highest PLVs, followed by wide aperture consonantal nuclei (sonorants), and lastly by consonantal nuclei with narrow-to-closed constrictions (obstruents). Overall, the findings demonstrate a tight coordination between abstract syllable units and quantifiable signal properties and additionally provide novel dynamical grounding for cross-linguistic nucleus preferences.

Словарь речений из богослужебных книг прот. А. И. Невоструева (понасилую — посредѣ)

The “Dictionary of Locutions from Liturgical Books” by Protopriest A. Nevostruev, completed in the middle of the 19th century and never published, can be regarded both as a significant achievement of Church Slavonic studies and as a valuable lexicographic source. The manuscript is kept in the Russian State Library. The decrepit state of the manuscript has determined the necessity of its urgent study and edition. The significance of this project is primarily due to the fact that the text of the dictionary is being made accessible to linguists for the first time. The orthography and grammar of the dictionary reflect the linguistic views of the time of its creation and can be of interest for those who study the history of Russian linguistics. This paper contains the 6th part of dictionary entries beginning in letter P. The characteristic features of the publication of this Dictionary, the lists of sources, abbreviations and symbols were described in detail in the previous issues of St. Tikhon’s University Review. All previously published parts of the Dictionary together with the critical apparatus can be found at the website of St. Tikhon’s University for the Humanities.

Amplitude modulation structure in French and German poetry: universal acoustic physical structures underpin different poetic rhythm structures.

French and German poetry are classically considered to utilize fundamentally different linguistic structures to create rhythmic regularity. Their metrical rhythm structures are considered poetically to be very different. However, the biophysical and neurophysiological constraints upon the speakers of these poems are highly similar. Scientifically, this suggests that at the level of the acoustic physical structures that are produced orally, the two poetic genres may be rhythmically extremely similar. Here, we apply a language-blind computational model of linguistic rhythm based on features of the amplitude envelope (AE) to compute these physical stimulus characteristics. The model was applied to recordings of the recitation of metrical French and German poems by native speakers. Poems in free verse were not considered in the study. The results indicated that the acoustic physical structures of the poems were identical for the two languages in terms of temporal modulation patterns in the AE. This challenges the linguistic view that German poetry utilizes lexical stress to create prosodic alternation between strong and weak syllables, while French poetry relies on accentuation at the level of prosodic phrasing. Nevertheless, minor differences in physical structure could be detected by applying further modelling drawn, respectively, from the birdsong and neural connectivity literatures.

Critical Pedagogy in Curriculum Decision Making

Critical pedagogy has recently started to have an impact on the field of TESOL—teaching English to speakers of other languages—by introducing some new socio-political views of language teaching and linguistics. In this research, two main aims are set forward. The first aim is to explain the new concept of critical pedagogy and make suggestions for how it can be incorporated into the TESOL profession. The second is to investigate students’ and teachers’ perceptions of the concept and fundamental tenets of critical pedagogy, as well as the extent to which these tenets are utilised in formulating curricula in the context of Kurdistan. This study adopted a mixed-methods research design to employ instruments for gathering and analysing data from numerous sources. The sample for the study was 120 students who completed a questionnaire. Fourteen students from the same sample participated in focus groups and, seven teachers took part in semi-structured interviews. All participants voluntarily agreed to participate in the research and were affiliated with Soran University in Iraq's Kurdistan region. The findings of this empirical study demonstrate that the stakeholders make the curricular decisions using a monologic approach rather than a dialogic one and that students and lecturers are not engaged in the decision-making process. The results also show that both teachers and learners are not very satisfied with the banking model of education and would like to be allowed to actively participate in the design and development of teaching curricula from a critical perspective.

LEARNING GERMAN BASED ON TEXTS

The focus of the paper is text analysis at this point in text linguistics’ evolution. It clarifies the views of both foreign and domestic linguists on how to define the term “text” and examines the research methods used in this area of study. Modern linguistics needs new principles and methods of text formation that are based on corpus linguistics. The study of language and speech is also impossible without the anthropocentric and speech principle, which is formed in perspective: man and language. In this regard, his role in the text is of great importance. In the paper, special emphasis is placed on teaching German as a “foreign” language using the text as a higher-level communicative unit, an informative code that is addressed from the subject to the object. The text should contain cognitive material, have educational opportunities, be comprehensible, arouse interest and have feedback from the learners. Of course, the perception of the text depends on many aspects: the lexical and grammatical base of the students, their general knowledge, experience, etc. While working with the text, you should not only pay attention to phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, etc., but also to the subject matter of the texts, which should be interesting to students. We believe that it is very effective to use newspaper texts related to education, life of young people in Ukraine and abroad, hobbies, sports, medicine, political and economic issues, etc. Approaching the study and description of the language in action is essential for interacting with the text (be it artistic, journalistic, scientific, etc.). This is an excellent chance for students to discover and apply the knowledge they have learned.

Scientific views of world linguists on terms of craft

Scientific views of world linguists on terms of craft

Metode Audiolingual Dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab

The Audiolingual method was first introduced in 1964 by Nelson Broos. This method revolutionized language teaching by changing it from just a scientific language learning method, the result of a combination of principles and views of structural linguistics, behavioral psychology, and contrastive analysis. This research is library research. Library research is an argumentative disclosure of data sources in the form of studies. The results of this research reveal that the Audiolingual method is based on the assumption that language is, first of all, speech. Therefore, learning Arabic must begin with listening to the sounds of the language in the form of words or sentences and then pronouncing them before learning reading and writing skills. This method revolutionized language teaching by changing it from just a scientific language learning method, the result of a combination of principles and views of structural linguistics, behavioral psychology, and contrastive analysis.

Bakron’s Linguistic View on “Jahon-Name”

The article dwells on the issue concerned with the study of Bakron’s linguistic view on “Jahon-Name”. It is underscored that the relevant geographical production is considered to be one of the most important works. It is determined that the word stock of “Jahon-Name” includes the following lexicons denoting: locality, natural phenomena, elements, social areas, notions of quantity, period and seasons, person, occupation, profession, skill, animals, somatisms, scientifico-professional terms, minerals, agricultural, food and beverage, notions dealing with religion and various objects. Adducing the result of an analysis beset with the theme explored one can come to the conclusion that “Jahan-Name” refers to geographical literature and its author makes an endeavor to edit the language; to use public vocabulary; to indicate correct pronunciation and spelling of words; to fix the meaning of various lexical elements; to determine linguistic belonging of words; to make obvious and hidden errors; to state hypotheses concerning the origin of names; to point out differences in the names of localities in written and colloquial form – all this is considered to be peculiarities of the language of the relevant work.

Cognitive Analysis of “Fog” Metaphor in Poetry of the Tang Dynasty

In the cognitive linguistic view, metaphor is not only a linguistic device but also a mode of thinking that people use to conceptualize and comprehend the world. Cconceptual metaphors are a set of mappings from a concrete source domain from an abstract target domain. The cognitive foundation of conceptual metaphor is a variety of human experience. Poetry of the Tang Dynasty abounds with metaphorical images. Fog is a regularly used image in poetry of the Tang Dynasty. Yet the research on fog from the perspective of conceptual metaphor remains as an under-explored area. Based on conceptual metaphor theory, the current research aims to sort out the classification of fog metaphors and the cognitive foundation as well as cultural motivation behind those fog metaphors in poetry of the Tang Dynasty. The cognitive analysis of fog can offer a new dimension to the exploration of both the image of fog and metaphor in poetry of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the cognitive approach to fog metaphor in poetry of the Tang Dynasty can better reflect the unique cultural cognition of ancient China, and extend the research on classical Chinese poetry, which is a step forward in cognitive poetics, and offer implications for the appreciation, translation and teaching of poetry of the Tang Dynasty.

Phraseological verbs in Heydar Aliyev's speech

In this article which studies Heydar Aliyev's speech from the point of view of linguistics, 20 phraseological verbs are examined, and the reasons why the great leader used them are explained. There are such phraseologiycal verbs in this post that they are political-diplomatic contents — such as “to put a veto”, “to adress a speech”, “o deliver a speech”, “to take responsibility”, “to raise a question”. There is such that it is refugee content like “to fall into trouble”. There are those who are literary-poetic-art - such as “to go into ecstasy”, “to give a stimulation”, “to put pen to paper”. The rest are active verbs in the daily life process - such as “to draw a plan” and so on.

Classifications of the Names of Smolensk Streets

The article deals with two classifications of urbanonyms of the city of Smolensk in view of historical periods of the Russian state formation, and taking into account internal units included in the urbanonymic field.
 In the ancient classification, the names of intracity objects are divided according to the principle of referring them to another significant object (as a rule, it was a church) or according to the principle of naming an object by the name of
 a famous person, usually by the name of a saint.
 In the modern classification, the principle has changed. Most of the renamed streets started to be called by the names of revolutionary figures, leaders of the Russian and world proletariat, by significant revolutionary events.
 The classification of regional urbanonyms is important due to the fact that every onym is a cultural constant from the point of view of linguistics and reflects the peculiarities of the linguistic picture of the world of both an individual and society as a whole. For the streets of the city in the period from the 17th to the
 beginning of the 20th century, renaming is not typical; after the revolution, the names were changed regularly.
 The relation to another significant object (temple, monastery) was the most productive principle of nomination for the streets of ancient Smolensk. The main motive for the nomination of modern streets is their connection with people.

TERMINOLOGY AS A BRANCH OF LINGUISTICS
