Славянские устойчивые сравнения с персонажами Библии в диалектах

The present paper deals with the functioning of phraseological comparative constructions with biblical characters in dialects of East, West, and South Slavic languages. The charac- ters of the Holy Scripture include not only the nameless and named heroes of the Bible but also the Creator himself as well as supernatural beings that serve or oppose the Creator. The description involves comparative phraseological units with an adjective that derives from a character of the Bible. Most of the analyzed Slavic dialectal phraseological units are fixed in dictionaries.The description of comparative phraseological units (if possible) is carried out from the positions of structural and semantic modelling, which allows to identify the lexical variation of components in the dialects of the same language or in various languages. In some cases, the paper includes areal characteristics of comparative constructions. For this purpose, the author shows their parallels in other linguistic and dialect regions. As a result, the paper reveals both structural and semantic biblical universals and phraseological units with national specificity, i.e. similes that have no equivalents (literary or non-Slavic). There are units that are specific for some regions, for example, phraseological units containing microtoponyms such as geographical objects that are not widely known. The national and regional identity is manifested both at the level of figurative basis and at the level of non- equivalent comparativism since some subjects can be active in one language, while they are peripheral or lacunary in another one.In some cases, phraseological units are provided with cultural, historical, and etymol- ogical comments which reveal not only the biblical and religious roots but also reflect the ancient mythological representations of the Slavs. The author gives an explanation to the meaning of similes and their components.The Old and New Testaments are a common element of the spiritual culture of Chris- tians so the comparison reveals the similarity and repetition of comparative units, directly or indirectly related to the names of the characters of the Bible, or structural and semantic models in a particular area. At the same time, the phraseological units genetically ascending to the Bible show a quite large differentiation, demonstrating the peculiarity of the recep- tion of biblical images by the Slavs, the unequal interest in them. Although the very name of the biblical character is often international, set similes containing it are not always the same. This is usually the case for pseudo-biblical phraseological units that have no direct links to the character of the Bible; they are usually inherent in folk speech and are often jokingly ironic. This is particularly evident in dialects.

Deconstructing social anthropology discourses in their support of surrogacy: The case of France

In France, surrogacy – known as ‘Gestation Pour Autrui’ (GPA) – is forbidden by law. The most ardent supporters of this practice are social anthropologists and some sociologists, many of them endorsing the political programme of activist groups and pushing forward new regulations to authorize surrogacy. The aim of this article is three-fold: (1) to analyse the place social anthropology has taken in the development of a discourse in favour of the practice; (2) to challenge the usefulness of comparisons with exotic societies; and (3) to deconstruct the semantic universe developed to hide the commoditization aspects of this practice.

The specificity of lifestyle of the individuals with different type of life scenario

This article is dedicated to examination of the specificity of assessment of the individuals with different type of life scenario. Having compared the patterns of worldview and manifestations of life scenario of the individual, the author considers the latter as a component of in-depth structures of worldview, reflected on the level of semantic structures associated with the implementation of scenario in form of the specificity of assessment of respondents. One of the manifestations of life scenario of the individual in semantic structures is the specificity of assessment of their lifestyle. Since lifestyle represents a system of activities the person is engaged in, and life scenario by definition is related with saturation of subjective time with different ways of pastime, the process of realization of life scenario depends on the specifics of the content of lifestyle as a system of activities. The empirical research is conducted on the basis of specifically developed questionnaire; the three groups of respondents with different type of life scenario were formed. The respondents were offered to assess their lifestyle using a specialized semantic differential. The obtained data was processed via the method of semantic universals. The acquired results indicate that the descriptors included in the semantic universals of the assessment of lifestyle correspond to the type of life scenario of the individual. The groups of respondents with different type of life scenario demonstrate a various degree of in-group similarity in assessments of their lifestyle. Therefore, the specificity of lifestyle assessment is one of the manifestations of life scenario of the individual.

Отношение к будущему людей, перенесших COVID-19

The article presents the results of the comparative analysis of expectations for the future of people who had COVID-19 and people without confirmed diagnosis. The study was carried out with the help of semantic differential of time by L. I. Vasserman, E. A Trifonova, K. R. Chervinskaya. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to verify the accuracy of differences between the groups. The study results showed that all respondents had positive expectations for the future. Average measures of expectations for a particular time period, however, were lower according to the factors (amount of time, structure of time, sense of time) in the group of people without confirmed diagnosis. Semantic universals revealed during the study also had a number of significant differences. The respondents who had COVID-19 viewed their future as “solid”, “profound”, “rhythmic”, while the respondents without confirmed diagnosis thought it to be “particular” and “relaxed”.

The invention of reality

The subject of the article is the process of forming ideas about the world as reality, which is most accurately described by the word “invention”. The author, relying on classical texts in this respect (E. Husserl, M. Heidegger) and modern studies (A. Makushinsky, J.-F. Kurtin) substantiates the position according to which the idea of reality is not a cultural invariant. The notion that reality has always existed, and thanks to scientific reason has been most adequately reflected, understood and described, is a significant modernization. This has been evidenced by both the etymology of the concepts of “reality” and “reality”, which first appeared only in scholasticism (D. Scotus, M. Eckhart), and the process of their content filling, which is inextricably linked with the formation of scientific rationality. The article shows that both the scientific mind and the integral image of the world created by it, which we call reality, genetically date back to the Christian value-semantic universe. Initially, it was within the framework of the discourse of natural theology that the image of the autonomous world has been conceptualized, developing according to the universal principles established by God. In the first scientific programs (R. Descartes, G. Galilei, I. Newton), these ideas were continued, as a result of which the world began to be understood as an immanent reality that is subject to the laws of nature. The new ontological beliefs received the ultimate philosophical foundation in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, to whom the phenomenal world exhausts the reality available to man. Accordingly, the world turns into a one-dimensional detranscendentalized reality. This methodological approach allows the author to make the following conclusions: 1) the image of world “reality” is a rather modern “invention”, which was unknown in previous eras; 2) at the same time, it is genetically connected with the Christian semantic universe, outside of which it could not appear; 3) the world in it is understood as a one-dimensional immanent reality.

Characteristics of the Semantic Layer of the Image of the World Among Young Representatives of the Indigenous Small-numbered Peoples of the North

Introduction. Research on the ethno-cultural characteristics of the image of the world in the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North is important. This paper presents the results of an empirical investigation of the image of the world (a semantic layer) among young representatives of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North. This study is the first report on the application of a three-level model of the image of the world for describing its characteristics among young representatives of indigenous ethnic groups.
 Methods. The study sample comprised 225 individual participants aged 16–25 years, living in the North and Northeast of Russia, 110 of whom were representatives of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North and 115 of whom were representatives of the non-indigenous population. The study employed the group associative experiment.
 Results and Discussion. The findings indicate the presence of non-random differences in the structures of semantic assessments, which indicates the presence of specific characteristics of the semantic layer of the image of the world among representatives of indigenous peoples of the North. In the group of representatives of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North the first ranks in associations with the ‘my life five years ago’ stimulus correspond to the following descriptors: ‘school’, ‘study’, and ‘friends’; with the ‘my life now’ stimulus – ‘study’, ‘work’, and ‘sports’; with the ‘my life five years later’ stimulus – ‘work’, ‘family’, and ‘children’; with the ‘nature’ stimulus – ‘beauty’, ‘forest’, and ‘animals’; with the ‘human’ stimulus – ‘kind’, ‘friend’, and ‘reasonable’; and with the ‘happiness’ stimulus – ‘family’, ‘love’, and ‘children’.
 In the group of representatives of the non-indigenous population the North the first ranks in associations with the ‘my life five years ago’ stimulus correspond to the following descriptors: ‘school’, ‘friends’, and ‘carefree’; with the ‘my life now’ stimulus – ‘study’, ‘love’, and ‘work’; with the ‘my life five years later’ stimulus – ‘family’, ‘work’, and ‘children’; with the ‘nature’ stimulus – ‘forest’, ‘beauty’, and ‘sea’; with the ‘human’ stimulus – ‘kind’, ‘personality’, and ‘reasonable’; and with the ‘happiness’ stimulus – ‘family’, ‘love’, and ‘children’.
 The differences observed when comparing associative semantic universals indicate that associative links are determined by differences in subjective experiences and cultural contexts.

ГЕРМЕНЕВТИКА АКАДЕМІЧНОЇ ДОБРОЧЕСНОСТІ В КОНТЕКСТІ ДУХОВНОЇ ПАРАДИГМИ ПСИХОЛОГІЇ

В умовах проведення освітніх реформ з орієнтацією на європейські стандарти виникає необхідність осмислення фундаментальних цінностей, на яких повинен базуватися і реалізовуватися освітній процес. У статті висвітлено результати дослідження академічної доброчесності як конгломерату духовних цінностей, що презентують особистісну позицію представника академічної спільноти в освітньому просторі. Мета дослідження: розкрити зміст феномена академічної доброчесності в контексті духовної парадигми психології. Завдання дослідження: 1) означити методологічні положення духовної парадигми психології; 2) розкрити зміст ціннісних спектрів академічної доброчесності в контексті духовної парадигми психології. Для розкриття змісту феномена академічної доброчесності в контексті духовної парадигми психології були використані теоретичні методи – аналіз, синтез, порівняння, узагальнення і систематизація теоретичних підходів і поглядів до проблеми академічної доброчесності, психологічна герменевтика. Висхідним положенням аналізу академічної доброчесності в контексті духовної парадигми психології є розгляд особистості представника академічної спільноти як ноологічної сутності, що характеризується потенційною універсальністю, творчо-вольовою спрямованістю, іманентною здатністю до вибору добра та заперечення зла, онтологічною налаштованістю до самопізнання та самовизначення заради утвердження трансцендентних духовних цінностей. Духовні цінності, які становлять суть академічної доброчесності, актуалізуються в свідомості студента, викладача (відповідно до конкретної ситуації вибору в умовах освітнього процесу), проходять щоразу «внутрішнє переосмислення» крізь призму деонтичного вибору та прийняття відповідальності за його здійснення, за наслідки, після чого відбувається реалізація цих цінностей у вчинковий спосіб.

"Isso é uma gripezinha" – o Brasil em diminutivo

As reflexões e as análises produzidas neste artigo derivam de um gesto de leitura filiado à Análise de Discurso sobre um arquivo constituído a partir de recortes midiáticos de circulação nacional e internacional. Analisamos nesse arquivo o funcionamento ideológico das formas discursivas – tais como "isso é uma gripezinha", "Eu sou, realmente, a constituição" e "E daí?" – que materializam a produção do "Brasil em diminutivo". Esse funcionamento estabiliza o universo semântico no qual se articulam sentidos de (des)compromisso com sujeitos, com espaços, com instituições, enfim, com trajetórias históricas, se ritmando por um trabalho partitivo em detrimento do coletivo, ou seja, esse funcionamento (re)produz uma política governamental que vai contra aquilo que seria próprio a um estado de direito: a responsabilidade com a(s) coletividade(s). Esse funcionamento ideológico que produz como uma de suas evidências "o Brasil em diminutivo" acirra a polaridade política, expondo a contradição de um governo que se retroalimenta pela prática da mistura entre evidência e absurdo, (re)produzindo formas totalitárias de poder e de dizer. A compreensão desse funcionamento torna visível, ainda, que, ao ser impactada discursivamente pela diminuição das questões sociais brasileiras, a cena política de hoje, no Brasil, é determinada pelo jogo político que (de)nega, silencia e censura as condições reais nas quais e por meio das quais a(s) coletividade(s) se (de)bate(m), demandando o reconhecimento de sua existência.

МЕТАИСТОРИЯ ЭМОЦИЙ: ВРОЖДЕННЫЕ ПРОГРАММЫ И/ИЛИ КУЛЬТУРНЫЕ МОДЕЛИ: Рец. на кн.: ЯН ПЛАМПЕР. ИСТОРИЯ ЭМОЦИЙ / Пер. с англ. К. Левинсона. М.: НЛО, 2018. 568 с.

Jan Plamper’s book addresses not so much the history of emotions themselves as their metahistory — the elaboration of the principal approaches to their study. The universalist paradigm, proclaimed by psychologists of the Paul Ekman school, is opposed by social constructivism, advocated by most historians and anthropologists. Plamper’s position is closer to the latter view, yet he cautions the reader against the overstatement of differences between the emotional worlds of people of various cultures and epochs, typical of radical social constructivists. In the reviewer’s opinion, the most promising approach is to combine the psychological constructivism of the Lisa Feldman Barrett school with the linguistic semantics elaborated by Anna Wierzbicka. Plamper, however, regards any manifestations of universalism, either in the form of core affects in the former case, or in the form of semantic universals in the latter, as either unacceptable or uninteresting. The controversy is to some extent terminological: if the definition of emotion includes its object, as Plamper believes, then emotions are infinitely numerous; if not, they are few.

Act of signification from narratology to semiotics within the scope of interdisciplinary approach

Narratives, which were previously addressed and tried to be explained with a single approach and an application model of a field, have become more comprehensive with the combination of different types of approaches and practices from different disciplines today. One of the remarkable advantages of such interdisciplinary studies is that the approaches of other disciplines support the research process, where the data of a particular discipline is unsatisfactory. This advantage, offered by interdisciplinary studies, is also valid in the examination of the systems of works of art. The importance of literature in the development of the aforementioned art system cannot be denied. There are distinctive literary genres comprising specific messages in their semantic universe and serve as a communication bridge between the author and reader. The common point of these works is that they are fictional narratives. The function of narratology and semiotics is to examine the formation processes of such narratives. Although the implementation processes, analysis tools, and procedures are various, the common ground of both disciplines is to study narrated structures. In fact, two different mono narrative studies can be realized by dealing with those disciplines within their own systems separately. However, the main focus of this study is to take the advantage of using the data of both disciplines to reach an applicable analysis model that prioritizes interdisciplinarity in the study of narrative analysis.

IMAGES OF PROTEST LEADERS IN THE REPRESENTATION OF RUSSIAN YOUTH

The publication presents the results of a study devoted to the study of images of Russian protest political figures in the representation of young people. In the course of an empirical study conducted in the spring of 2020, students of higher educational institutions in Vladivostok and St. Petersburg were interviewed. Both the leaders of the liberal non-system opposition (A. Navalny and L. Sobol) and the leader of the Communist party of Russia G. Zyuganov were taken as objects. We used the method of semantic differential (SD), factorization of data by the principal component method, as well as the method of free associative experiment. The categorical structure of the semantic space of ideas about protest political leaders was determined. The General categories identified on the basis of factorization of SD data include such axes of evaluating political leaders as “intellectual and leadership qualities”, “aggressiveness”, “hypocrisy and corruption”, and “honesty and kindness”. These categories reflect the structure of young people's political thinking. Based on these semantic universals, the images of Russian protest leaders were reconstructed and their main characteristics in the representation of young people were revealed. Analysis of the results showed the presence of many common structural components in the political consciousness of young people in different cities of Russia. Young people use roughly the same basic categories for evaluating political leaders. The images of protest leaders in the representation of the youth of the two cities also turned out to be almost identical. The results of the study can be useful for researchers, political forces, political and civil leaders.

De las fichas de marfil a la inteligencia artificial: panorama histórico de la evolución del juego como herramienta de enseñanza de lenguas

El artículo esboza un panorama histórico de la evolución de la noción de juego como herramienta de enseñanza de lenguas y, especialmente, de lenguas extranjeras desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días. Se parte del postulado de que el juego no remite a un referente fenomenológico único, sino que debe ser estudiado como una construcción social variable, cuyo universo semántico es rico y contradictorio, pues opera según una lógica sedimentaria. A través de la revisión de la literatura pedagógica en general y de los textos en didáctica de lenguas y culturas en particular, se elucida las razones por las cuales diferentes corrientes de pensamiento han relacionado a lo largo de los siglos tanto juego y educación como juego y didáctica de lenguas y culturas. Este recorrido diacrónico precede a una reflexión en torno al estatus actual del juego, en una época dominada por el enfoque orientado a la acción y marcada por una creciente ludicización.

Смислова архітектоніка свідомості й екзистенціально-системний концепт реорганізації «картини світу» майбутніх психологів-консультантів

The aim of the article. The issue concerning the specifics of notional architectonicsof consciousness of future counseling psychologists is highlighted in the study and the existential-systemic approach to the reorganization of their «model ofthe world» is described.Methods. The «model of the world» of future counseling psychologists wasstudied using: A. Adler’s «The earliest childhood memory» method, F. Fiedler’s«Type of attitude toward others» methodology, modeling of «semanticuniversals» «model of the world» by A. Artemieva.The results of the research. Four plans for the analysis of the notionaldynamics of the «model of the world» of future counseling psychologists areexamined, in particular: the formation of the «model of the world»; the correlationbetween the subjective model of the world and the objective world; plan forthe content and functioning of the «model of the world»; the development orreorganization of the «model of the world». The structure of the significantrelations in the world of future counseling psychologists and the patterns thatthey use is outlined. There have been established such attractors: methods ofcomprehending the «World» as a source of fear, sadness, shame, anger, disgustto confirm their own values regarding subjective image; behavioral programsof avoidance, requests for help, accession, destruction, rejection as a means ofconfirming established contacts and means of interaction with the «World»;situationally-subjective and neutral-indifferent types of attitude towards othersaccepted as the most effective forms of the relationship between «Me» andthe «World»; contextual semantic universals «resource and intention» and«dynamics» as the genesis of the development and strength of the personalitysystem. The existential and systematic approach to the reorganization of thenotional architectonics of future counseling psychologists is described, whichinvolves not only expanding the horizon of the identification of oneself andthe world as a research, defining and adopting personal expert zones, but alsoas searching and establishing notional relationships between elements of thesystem due to the development of multidimensional psychological identificationof oneself and the world.Conclusions. The proposed diagnostic scheme for studying the «model ofthe world» of future counseling psychologists has ensured the construction of anotional model of the relationship between the constructs «Me» and «World».It has found out the parapharmal experience of constructing by the researcherstheir own architectonics of meanings, considering its genesis and primarycomponents. Due to the multi-paradigmatic methodological foundationsand the tasks of integrating experience with unlimited intrinsic intensity, theexistential and system approach can be considered as an effective concept for creative change of «crystallized» patterns, the discovery of new vectors oflife changes, self-organization and evolution, due to the intrapsychic focus oftransformational work and objective orientation.

Семантика психологического пространства субъектов городских и сельских территорий

The paper analyzes the results of a semantic study of the ideas of subjects living in various types of settlements concerning their lives by means of the construct of the psychological space of the person. The key theoretical theses on the research topic are considered. The main units of analysis of the data received are distinguished: descriptors and seman-tic universals. For a more correct study, a new unit was introduced – a constant as a universal semantic code. The research focuses on the content of the data obtained. The results are compared and separated for residents of the city and the village. The author proves that a different locality carries a different semantic code. The study revealed that the city residents have a slightly more di-verse psychological space. However, despite all the differences, there are matches for the semantic code of the representatives of both types of locality.

A Comparative Study of Semantic Component and Lexicalization Pattern of English and Chinese Verb Category “Drink”

Verb category “drink” is frequently used in people’s daily life. In this essay, the author analyses the semantic component and lexicalization pattern of English and Chinese verb category “drink”, in which the author finds there are semantic universals and particulars. It is found that the lexicalization pattern of this verb category in English and Chinese should be “motion + manner (cause) + X”.

Concept Modern Woman as Cognitive and Semantic Universal in Related Languages

This typological study presents the description of the concept Modern Woman as cognitive and semantic universal in related languages. This is carried out due to the description of the macrostructure of the concept that predetermines the distribution of selected characteristics according to structural macrocomponent of the concept – imaginative, informational component and interpretation field; categorical structure of the concept, which presents the cognitive hierarchy of the classification criteria, conceptualize the consequent subject or phenomenon; the field organization of the concept. There were analyzed the approaches to the definition of the term “concept” at first, including semantic, cognitive and cultural ones.Basing onto the typology of concepts suggested by Sternin, who identifies three main types of concepts: concepts-representations, concepts and gestalts, we decided to make an attempt to analyze the categorical structure of the concept-prototype, concept-frame, concept-scenario / script and concept-scheme in related languages, but we have done it on the example of fiction by the contemporary British writer Cecilia Ahern “The Time of my Life” and its translations into Russian and Ukrainian.Identification of cognitive classification features of the concept-prototype “Modern Woman” allowed us to note the following features in related languages: physiological features mark the conceptual features of biological sex, age, appearance; status-role features indicate social status, status and role in society; functional features indicate the type of activity or occupation; relational features position of a person in relation to other persons or groups of persons; mental and functional features that indicate emotional state, mental abilities, health status, etc.; axiological features that characterize the internal properties of a person, character traits, demeanor; affective and emotive signs indicate an emotional attitude to the subject: approval-condemnation / displeasure, acceptance-rejection, irritation, irony, etc. The main slots of the concept frame “Modern Woman” are beauty, fashion, love and sex, work and life, lifestyle, news and politics, career, psychology and relationships. Concepts-scenarios and concepts-schemes are also represented by the corresponding episodes and images. So, the concept is perceived as the basic unit of human memory, which structures the mental space of a person, it is cognitive and semantic universal onto the cognitive level in the formation of lexical meaning in such related languages as English, Ukrainian, Russian.

СИСТЕМА ОСВІТИ ЦИФРОВОЇ ДОБИ У ДИСКУРСІ ПАРАДИГМАЛЬНОГО ПРОГНОЗУ

The relevance of the study is that the modern planetary community is experiencing an intercivilizational shift, ie makes the transition from technogenic to information civilization. The current state of the industrial education system is overripe and is maintained through excessive organizational activity between supranational, national and corporate education management. All directives of education management bodies of recent years are aimed at this. The purpose of the article is to conceptualize the generation of the education system of the information age. Objectives of the study: 1) to reveal the prerequisites for the approach of the so-called fourth wave of scientific and technological progress, which carries the sixth technological way in the form of new algorithms for human action, products and services; 2) to find out the system of education, which is in content the product of self-development of the base, and in the form of existence - the external conditions of its generation and functioning; 3) to find that the updated thesaurus of science is a means of self-development of modern spiritual production in general and education as a means of self-reproduction of the social whole in particular. It is proved that in the field of education at each stage of the life cycle of the industrial education system a new type of knowledge appeared, which determined the mainstream development of the industrial education system. The result of the study. A number of problems in promoting intellectual elites to approach the ideal of education in the XXI century to practical reproduction in the life of the planetary community are analyzed. Modern philosophical thought is gaining momentum based on practical advances in the development of artificial intelligence, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics and space exploration. The existing industrial culture will not help here, as it plays a strong conservative role, stabilizing the acquired traditions of achieving the system of industrial development, including the field of education. Areas of further research - finding ways to the idea of the Planetary Personality, as it corresponds to the leading trends in the evolution of the planetary world, based on the mastery of human community semiogenesis, as the change of civilizations is based on its mastery of the Semantic Universe

The Territorial Agenda 2030: Towards a common language? A review of a conceptual framework

The Territorial Agenda 2030 aims to provide multi-level strategic orientation to increase cohesion and overcome the 21st century pressing challenges. In multilingual contexts, the ideas and concepts communicated in such agendas must be clear and well-defined. In our study, we conducted a content analysis of the concepts of environment, inequality, justice, sustainability, territory and transition in contrast with former versions of this agenda. We found that, since 1983, the Territorial Agenda conceptual framework changed significantly in its meaning and semantic universe of reference.

Siberian-American cognitive and cultural interface through eco-ethnic lexicon

Abstract The focus of this paper is a possible Siberian link with the Na-Dene Languages, based on cognitive lexical semantics. Dene-Yeniseian is a proposed language family consisting of the Yeniseian languages of Central Siberia and the Na-Dene languages of North-Western North America (Campbell 2011; Trombetti 1923; Vajda 2010, 2011, 2018). The paper connects semantic universals, Ket and Dene folklore, and also comparative historical linguistic research. In analyzing a group of cognates, the paper’s aim is to discuss the cultural, cognitive and pragmatic reasons that enabled these cognates to survive for several thousand years. Our main point is that factors such as the relative importance of linguistic signs in a language community, lingual conservatism of semantic universals and the distinctiveness of its referents, probable frequency with which these words were used, and their cultural symbolism in relatively similar environments significantly contributed to their survival in ethnic groups belonging to the proposed language family. Our cross-disciplinary study helps us identify the essential place of eco-ethnic material in interpreting cross-continental similarities and emphasizes the integrative role of culture. It will be argued that the eco-ethnic lexicon reflected by the Dene-Yeniseian cognates reveals several thousand years of diachronic cognitive processes.

LANGUAGE AND CONCEPTUAL PICTURES OF THE WORLD IN THE INTERCULTURAL REPRESENTATION OF LITERARY TRANSLATION

Introduction. The paper focuses on the problem of interconnection of the conceptual and language pictures of the world in the intercultural representation of artistic translation. With the expanding of international links and mental rapprochement between different cultures’ representatives, the problem of the artistic translation, which is understood as the reproduction of the referentiality of concepts in target text with saving the empts of cultural values in a source text, becomes more and more topical.Purpose. The aim of the paper is to reveal the invariant factors for the mutual influence of the thinking way of the conceptualized reality and its language explication; to disclose the role of a logical thinking as a key for recognizing of the semantic universals in the language pictureof the world.Methods. The main methods applied in the given investigation are the general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction), the linguistic methods (the method of description, the method of comparison and contrasting) and the methods, which are appliedin the translation studies (methods of making analogies in source and target texts, methods of transformations and characterizations).Results. The paper outlined that the verbalization of the conceptual picture of the world is determined by social and cultural factors, as well as the language picture of the world reflects the way of thinking in the process of getting an agreement between representatives of different cultures.
