SENSE-CREATIVE CONTEXT AS A FACTOR OF LEARNER AUTONOMY IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

The current study reveals the concept of sense-creative context as a factor of autonomy in learning a foreign language. Sense-creative context is a system of sense technologies that motivates students who are eager to know how to improve their knowledge. Using sense-creative technologies in teaching EFL is becoming a burning issue in the modern classroom due to the challenges University graduates face in real life. Sense-creative context in our study has been analyzed and implemented in EFL teaching with a focus on personal and meaningful development of the students. Three groups of students were formed (control group and two experimental groups). All were native speakers of Russian who studied English at Psychology Department of Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia. The control group mastered English fluently; some of them had passed Cambridge Examinations FCE, CAE. The second experimental group was taught English using regular and typical classroom activities. We administered sense-creative technologies, such as PLE, debates, projects to the third experimental group to form deep personal meaning and intrinsic motivation. The objective of the research was to find out that with the help of sense-creative strategies in learning a foreign language it is possible to observe the students’ vocational aspirations, self-assessment and learner autonomy. The results have pedagogical implications for EFL curriculum and all who are involved in the language study. To recap, using the sense-creative context, we change the priorities and form sense-creative approach, the essence of which is to put students in the conditions when he/she feels the intrinsic need to acquire knowledge.

Current State of Haplic Chernozems in Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Steppe Zone

The current ecological state of Haplic Chernozems has been studied in three Specially Protected Natural Areas (SPNAs) of the Steppe zone in South of Russia. It has been found that the content of organic matter, texture and elements content of soils depend on the period and conditions of reservation in the SPNA. In accordance with the content and reserve of organic matter, the thickness of the humus-accumulative (A) and humus (A + B) horizons and the supply with macro- and micronutrients, the Haplic Chernozems of the SPNAs under study can be arranged in the following series: Persianovskaya Reserved Steppe > Botanical Garden of the Southern Federal University > Reserved Fallow land “Priazovskaya Steppe”, which corresponds to the duration of their reservation periods. The Botanical Garden, which is located in the center of a megalopolis (Rostov-on-Don, Russia), has higher contents of lead in the upper horizon of Haplic Chernozem than other soils on the plots considered.

Features of calculating the effective atomic number of complex media by attenuating radiation of various energies

The method for calculating the effective atomic number Z эф of complex environments consisting of elements with very different atomic numbers has been proposed. In order to account for the strong nonlinear dependence of the total atomic attenuation coefficient from the atomic number of the element, in contrast to the well-known process, the exponent “ n ” is introduced in the calculation of the total atomic cross section per electron atom multielement material (electronic section). The verification of the method was carried out by comparing the values Z эф of the total atomic attenuation coefficient obtained with effective atomic number and calculated by the rule of additivity of atomic ratios. The significant improvement was shown in the accuracy of determining the effective atomic number of complex substances. Effective atomic numbers of the two-component samples Al - X (X = 26 Fe, 29 Cu, 40 Zr, 41 Nb, 42 Mo, 46 Pd, 47 Ag, 48 Cd, 49 In, 50 Sn) for four photon energies 40.32, 59.54, 94.52, and 136.55 keV were calculated using the atomic attenuation coefficient taken from XCOM table. The effective atomic number value were also obtained for the sample of binary composition Al - Sn at various weight concentrations Sn (0.1-0.9) and energy of 59.54 keV, and Al-Sn (~ 0.08) at four of the above energies. It has been shown that a significant impact on the obtained values is provided not only by the difference between the atomic numbers ( Z max - Z min ) of elements of the substance’s composition, but also by the ratio of the concentrations of these elements. The impact of the above factors was significantly reduced with the increasing photon energy because it reduced the contribution of the photoelectric absorption in the general weakening. The knowledge of the effective atomic number of the medium is necessary to assess the quality of the materials in relation to their use in radiation protection, medical diagnostics, in separation of rocks with different material composition for the operational control of the useful component’s mass fraction and others. Key words: X-ray radiation, attenuation coefficient, effective atomic number, binary alloys, widely differing atomic numbers DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15826/analitika.2017.21.2.005 A.N.

MATTER OF ADVANCED TRAINING FOR MANAGEMENT STUFF OF EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN CONTEMPORARY CONDITIONS

The formation of professional development and retraining system for the management stuff of educational sector is the priority of national education system development. In additional vocational education in the issues of professional training of management stuff of educational organizations there are obvious contradictions between the activities of the manager and the present challenges the manager is not ready to take. In such circumstances, the principles of development of the system for educational organizations management stuff are activities and continuity. In our opinion, the continuous formation of management stuff is considered to be optimal when focused on individualization of the training and priority of independent work of the listener in the context of professional activity. Modern heads of educational organizations - a manager, a teacher, a psychologist, an economist, a lawyer, a Methodist, image maker. To perform these professional functions it has to keep up with the times, improve, and maintain continuing education throughout their careers. And in connection with the fact that requirements increase, the conditions of activity of the head of an educational organization become more complicated. Theoretical study of the content of training programs experience requirements for the effective management of the educational institution, the essence of management activities in the field of education, as well as personal, business and professional qualifications of managerial staff and long-term practice programs training in the psychology of the Academy and pedagogy of the Southern Federal University, designed to Management personnel of the education system allows us to assert that the system of qualification improvement and retraining of managerial staff of education represented a considerable variety of both traditional and innovative technologies to improve the professionalism of heads of educational institutions. In our view, the optimum appears to continuing education management training, focused on the individualization of learning and self-study prevalence of the listener on an individual or group projects, internships, regular determination of the interests and suggestions of students, active use of modular training models.

‘Space’ Interpretation in Contemporary English Fictional Discourse: Female Perspective

Anna I. Dzyubenko (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) The article reveals the set of transformations that the space being a vital element of the fictional discourse structure undergoes being introduced into the narration by the modern female authors (S. Townsend, C. Alliott, K. Swan, E. Gilbert). The article also represents the basic characteristics attributed to ‘space’ as a key component reinforcing the whole narrative structure of the female discourse. The author states that the space in such discourse proves to be much influenced and strongly correlated with the emotional background the protagonists have creating suspense and climax or, on the contrary, anticlimax in the narration. It is suggested that the fictional space is most often graded in size, in its morphological characteristics and qualities. Moreover, the space is prone to be moving and developing than being stagnant. Key words: fictional discourse, chronotopos, protagonist, anticlimax, objective reality, emotionally dependent space characteristics, suspense in narration, onomatopoeia, personification, irony .

Регистр как ситуативный вариант языка

Natalya B. Boyeva-Omelechko, Alina K. Kisil (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) The problem discussed in the article is topical due to the interest of scientists to different types of language variations and especially registers or situational dialects treated by M.A.K. Halliday as use-related varieties of language or varieties used in a particular social setting. As discourse categorization is a very complex problem scholarly consensus has not been reached for the definitions of the term «register». The universal criteria for defining and discriminating registers have not been worked out either. The authors of the article give the review of scientific works devoted to the problem in question especially works by M.A.K. Halliday, R. Quirk, M. Joos, D. Hymes P. Trudgill, E.I. Belyaeva and others and analyze different definitions of the term «register», spectrums of registers and criteria for their discriminating. It enables the authors to come to the conclusion that only registers with the same field (religious, political, business etc.) and mode (oral/written, dialogue/monologue) can be compared. The difference lies in the sphere of tenor which depends on the degree of formality, distance of power and socio-psychological distance between speakers. The authors believe that it is also necessary to take into account the cooperative/ uncooperative character of conversation and para-verbal and non-verbal components of the speech situation. With this in mind they offer their definition of the register and describe main characteristics of registers in the sphere of oral communication. Key words : situational variation, speech situation, register, situational dialect, dialogue, tenor, style, scale of formality, distance of power, scale of formality, socio-psychological distance, cooperative/uncooperative character, verbal, para-verbal and non-verbal means.

К проблеме перевода грамматических средств речевой характеристики персонажей в художественном дискурсе (на материале англо-русских переводов)

Julia A. Kozarenko, Anna A. Motozhanets (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) The article dwells on translating techniques in reference to grammatical means of reflecting protagonists’ speech characetristics in fictional discourse. The research is based on English-Russian translations. Grammatical markers of protagonists’ speech are viewed as one of the most essential means of creating a fictional character and hence, objectivating the author’s intention. Any cases of neutralization of the above-mentioned grammatical markers are considered to lead to a substantional loss of both factual information and emotionalappraisive component in the majority of cases. Thus, compensation strategies with regard to grammatical markers of speech are seen as indispensable. The basic methods of reseach include the method of comparative analysis of the original and translated texts coupled with the method of contextual analysis. The equivalence of compensation relating to grammatical means of protagonists’ speech characterictics in translated text is assessed; in cases of neutralizations of grammatical markers the reasonability of neutralization is analyzed and compensation strategies are worked out; the most effective techniques are specificated. Functional transformation on a par with stylistic compensation based on lexical transformations are viewed among the most effective translating techniques with regard to grammatical means of protagonists’ speech characteristics. Key words: protagonists’ speech characetristics, fictional discourse, neutralization, functional transformation, compensation . DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-109-115

Историко-культурная информативность французских фразеологических единиц с компонентом-дендронимом

Taisiya I. Skorobogatova, Olga Yu. Suraleva (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) Research of national specificity of phraseology in a national language by distinguishing thematic groups of phraseological units and the analysis of their component composition becomes increasingly important in linguistic studies. This article is devoted to the analysis of the French phraseological units, which include dendronyms. Authors narrow notion of “dendronym” and use it only to refer to the names of trees. In French phraseological corpus authors identified 18 dendronyms, which are core components of the floral phrasal units: amandier (almond tree), cedre (cedar), chene (oak), cocotier (coconut palm), cypres (cypress), figuier (fig tree), laurier (laurel tree), murier (mulberry), olivier (olive tree), orme (elm), osier (willow), palmier (palm), peuplier (poplar), platane (sycamore), poirier (pear), pommier (apple), prunier (plum), sapin (spruce, fir). The following list proves that the repertoire of dendronyms used to form French FU is not too wide. However, the authors confirmed the possibility to consider idioms-dendronym component as special items of historical and cultural memory. Key words: floral phraseology, phraseological unit, dendrons, historical/ cultural memory, the French language .

Отношения альтернативности в тексте художественного произведения (на материале романа L. Irvine «Castaway»)

Natalya G. Sklyarova (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) The article discusses the role of alternative modeling in modelling the world picture in L. Irvine’s novel «Castaway». Results of the research implying distribution and contextual methods of analysis testify that alternative relations, complicated by incremental values of sequence and explanations, serve for a detailed reconstruction of the image of the characters on the background of nature in the area of the equator. Constructions of alternative semantics, denoting the change of events in time and space, in the analyzed work reflect monotony of being on an isolated island, but at the same time underline its difference from living in a civilized world. Constructions of alternative semantics, containing xenismes and their interpretations, are used to introduce to the reader exotic realities. This research confirms once again the fact that the use of conjunctions of alternative semantics in certain contextual environment is for actualization of the version of alternative relations required to reflect such fragment of individual world picture that seems significant in terms of the content of fiction work. Key words : alternative, fiction work, fiction world picture, language world picture, human consciousness, conjunction, alternative semantics. DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-138-143

Valerya A. Trofimova, Larisa S. Abrosimova (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) This article analyzes the phenomenon of verbal strategies in the political discourse. The authors consider the ways of language self-realization strategy on the material of pre-election speeches by Hillary Clinton. Within the study it has been revealed the most typical means of linguistic expression, as well as the method of operation in question. The performance peculiarity of the presidential candidate speech, as it has been noted, is her ability to combine the expressive potential of syntactic and lexical and grammatical means. Key words: strategy of self-presentation, emotional impact, expressive means.

Особенности реализации категории медийности в китайских микроблогах

Li Feixiang (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) The article is devoted to the research of the phenomenon of microblogging, which is an essential part of Chinese culture media. Microblog is considered as an innovative genre of Internet-journalism and as a kind of media text, since in many cases it is also the fact of mass communication and multimedia products, which involves different ways of transmitting information: verbal, visual and audiovisual. Specific examples demonstrate specificity of realization of media categories in the texts of the Chinese microblogging, it is analyzed the characteristics of the combination of diverse components of the text: the actual verbal, visual static and dynamic visual. The classification of the nature of microblogging used in multimedia is given. It is differentiated the following types of microblogging: monocomponent polycoded microblogging, two-component polycoded microblogging with static iconic element, two-component polycoded microblogging with dynamic visual component, multi-component monocoded and polycoded microblogging, including a hyperlink. The role of hyperlinks and the actual verbal component in microblogging is considered. Hyperlink promotes expansion of the boundaries of the text and implies to overcome technical limitations, reduce the amount of information transmitted. Actually verbal text conveys the author’s emotions, but also acts as a metatext in relation to the static or dynamic images. Key words : media, media text, multimedia, microblogging, polycode text, media convergence . DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-170-178

Концепт китаизма «фэн-шуй» в сознании носителей русского языка (на материале психолингвистических экспериментов)

Yang Xi (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia) This article studies one borrowing from Chinese – «feng shui» with the standpoint of cognitive science and psycholinguistics. According to the statistics from «The Russian National Corpus», «YandexNews» and our experiments we can conclude that this borrowing «feng shui» is quite common in Russian language. We expand research based on the theory and method of Russian linguists: Z.D. Popova and I.A. Sternin, implying three steps for description of concept «feng shui»: 1) describe macrostructure of concept; 2) describe categorical structure of concept; 3) describe field organization of concept. According to the data of psycholinguistic experiments we can point out not only the adaptive information of «feng shui» among Russianspeakers, but also concept content. Associative experiments create a concept model of «feng shui», and divide it into the core, proximal, distal and the extreme periphery. Key words : concept, Chinese borrowing, feng shui, associative experiments . DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-144-152

Утопия и селекция в романе В. Вульф «Миссис Дэллоуэй»

Olga A. Dzhumaylo. (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation). The paper develops the author’s interpretation of the garden imagery in the novel Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, which was suggested before. Apart from antique and biblical allusions found in fictional representation of London Regent’s Park, where characters of the novel find themselves, there should be also distinguished two up-to-date intellectual contexts. The first one is connected with the discussions of 1910-1920 on selection and eugenics and demonstrates fragility of ‘Self’ of fictional Septimus Smith (and in a similar way of Woolf herself), who appears to be ‘an unhealthy garden species’. The second one brings forth antiwar context of the novel, considering Septimus as a war veteran suffering from shell-shock and representing the whole generation of a broken young men (tree imagery), whose misfortune was the effect of the work of ‘state gardeners’ (a cabinet imagery in the novel). Key words: Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway, utopia, selection, eugenics, garden, Regent’s Park .

Poloyan (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) Internet communication, thanks to its interactivity, the effect of presence and information fullness and also due to the use of network navigation exceeds other means of communication by providing great communication opportunities. The Internet development is followed by formation of the certain norms and requirements of both linguistic, and extralinguistic character connected with the organization and structuring of the Internet space. In this paper such main genres of an Internet discourse as e-mail, chat, forum (virtual conference), blog, social networks are marked out; their specific properties and distinctive features are revealed; the peculiarities of operation with the given genres when carrying out a linguistic research are analyzed. Key words : Internet discourse, genres, blogs, Internet communication, texts research, corpus, case linguistics . DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-52-58

Русское приставочное внутриглагольное словообразование в свете индоевропейских истоков

Lyudmila V. Tabachenko (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) Prefixes, like prepositions, trace back to the immutable words, close to adverbial - relational elements, which took an autonomous position with respect to the verb, and to the name. Position and function of these words are associated by researchers with the transition from one structure of proto-indo-european syntactic core to the other: from OV to VO (where V - verb, O - object). When releasing the left valence verb relational elements became preverbs. By their functions they approached to the first part of a compound word, which served as the spatial specifier. In the early period of the Proto-Slavic local prefixes were labeled as statal and directive verbs. Within the semantic fusion of root with prefix there is a transition from the semantic agglutination to fusion, that was a consequence of the development of all prefixes the meanings of saturatedness and performance. This led, in particular, to the disappearance of spatial positional verbs prefixes because the statal bases contradicted the spatial ultimacy of prefixes: обстояти городъ – stand around the city. The appeared meanings of ultimacy and resultiveness of prefixes, became, on the one hand, one of the sources of the category of the species, on the other – the basis for the development of modification and mutation types of word-formation. These lines of development of innerverbal prefix word formation in the history of the Slavic, and the Russian in particular, languages would be impossible without the appearance of tracing back to PIE relational elements adverbial prepositions, without increasing their role in the development of free prepositional-case forms. Key words : Proto-Indo-European language, verbal prefixes, the history of the Russian language . DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-161-167

Дневник как инструмент философского самоисследования в творчестве Ж.-П. Сартра

Natalya S. Shurinova (Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) The article examines the features of diary genre in the works of J.-P. Sartre on the text material, demonstrating an affinity with diary prose, – the novel «Nausea» and «Diary of a strange war». We proceed from the assumption that the relevance of this form is due to Sartre’s genre traits, productive for the formulation of an existential statement. Among them are: a special stylistic organization of the text, the synchronicity of unfinished diary, as well as the possibility of introducing in the text of the indirect recipient and the similarity of the genre with the epistolary form. Each of these features enables Sartre to actualize their own philosophical principles and ideas: openness of the existential project, intentionality of consciousness and the need to examine the person in the aspect of its perception of the world, the senselessness of introspection and self-knowledge of the other. During the analysis we refer to the works of Russian (E.M. Evnin, S.L. Fokin) and French Sartre-experts (J.F. Luetta, M. Comte, J. Degi, J. Simon), as well as theoretical studies of the genre (works of Y.M. Lotman, O. Yegorov, A.A. Zaliznyak, L.N. Letyagin, A. Girard, F. Lejeune). Key words: Sartre, diary, genre features an existential project, consciousness, phenomenology . DOI: 10.18522/1995-0640-2016-4-28-34
