The concept of an individual act as the subject of a public legal dispute

The article is devoted to the study of the issue of the definition of an individual act as the subject of a public-law dispute, which is extremely relevant at the current stage of reforming state institutions and harmonizing the legislation of Ukraine in the process of negotiations on joining the European Union. The article indicates that public-law disputes regarding the appeal of individual acts cover all spheres of the public life of citizens and are a direct consequence of the implementation of public­authority management functions by subjects of authority. The state of administration of justice by administrative courts in 2020-2023 was studied, and a conclusion was made about the increase in the number of public legal disputes considered by administrative courts. Attention is drawn to the fact that domestic legislation is inconsistent in the field of terminology. In particular, the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» uses the concept of «administrative act,» the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine uses the concept of «individual act,» and the Law of Ukraine «On Law-Making Activity» uses «acts application of law,» «other individual legal acts,» and «other legal acts that do not contain legal norms.» In connection with this, subjects of authority often approach issues of terminological apparatus in different ways when processing hundreds of legal acts. In addition, the scientific community does not have a unified approach to this issue, operating with the concepts of «legal acts of state administration», «administrative legal acts», «individual administrative acts», «individual administrative legal acts» and «legal acts of individual action». Taking into account the researched material, it is indicated that most often an individual act is equated with the concept of an administrative act, which is narrower. Therefore, in the context of a public legal dispute, which includes both administrative and judicial appeals, it is appropriate to use the term individual act. It has been concluded that a unified understanding of the definition of an individual act by the scientific community and the legislator is extremely important, as it forms a unified approach to their application. Therefore, the definition of an individual act is proposed.

A Classification of Features for Interpersonal Disconnectivity in Digital Media: Block, Unfriend, Unfollow, Mute, Withhold, and Eject

This article presents for the first time a classification of, and lexicon for, features for dissolving interpersonal ties in digital environments: blocking, unfriending, unfollowing, muting, withholding, and ejecting. There are two main motivations and two main contributions. The first motivation is that analyses of social media features have not included treatment of features for interpersonal disconnectivity; the second is that analyses of interpersonal disconnectivity have not included reference to the features that enable it. The two main contributions are the disambiguation of a confusing terminological field, thus making it possible to analytically distinguish between types of feature, and an intervention in the question of whether the features described in the article concern filtering <em>information</em> or avoiding <em>people</em>. Data were collected from 37 social media platforms and other services that enable digitally-mediated communication. Features for interpersonal disconnectivity were documented and then the features were grouped based on five questions about their use, where A is the person using the feature, and B is the target of A’s use of the feature: (a) Does it affect A’s feed?; (b) does it affect B’s feed?; (c) is A still connected to B?; (d) is B still connected to A?; (e) can A and B see each other’s profile?

Formation of the Scientific and Educational Landscape of the Digital Economy of the Countries of the Organization of Turkic States and the Eurasian Economic Union

The importance of creating and disseminating national digital terminology in the state language was noted. Problems in the field of language terminology in the IT sphere are considered. The impact of the digital transformation of the economy and the spread of English technical terms into the national language is described. A project has been proposed to create a dictionary of digital terms in the Kazakh language with the participation of international experts from the countries of the Organization of Turkic States and the Eurasian Economic Union with the aim of their possible harmonization and use of the online platform.

Features of the part-speech composition of terms of international air law in English and Russian languages

The work reveals a problem of the part-of-speech composition in terms of the English and Russian languages in international air law. The study presents an analysis of the parts of speech included in the term structure in international air law according to the criterion of certain terminological field. The purpose of the study is to determine the most characteristic part-of-speech composition for the terms of several groups, identified on the basis of a common field in terminological systems Russian and English. This principle of analysis helps to compare terminological groups in different language systems. The objectives of the study were to identify the frequency of a certain part-ofspeech structure for the terms of the Russian and English languages. The work presents an empirical study, which prove that the proposed version of the analysis makes it possible to compare each lexical and semantic group in the English language with the Russian language in terms of the frequency of a certain part-of-speech structure; to identify the main dynamics in certain part-ofspeech structures in the English and Russian terminological systems of international air law. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions were made: comparative analysis of the partof-speech structure based on the criterion of a single semantic core within the branch of international air law is the most objective criterion that allows the comparison of terms from two different language systems within the framework of cross-linguistic research; part-of-speech structures of terms are directly related to the structural features of the Russian and English languages.

Unrealized Monographic Project of M.N. Kufaev “Bibliology” (1926)

The article is devoted to the manuscript prospectus of the anticipated book “Bibliology” by M.N. Kufaev (1888—1948), which is kept in the personal archive fund of N.Yu. Ulyaninsky (1872—1937) in the Manuscripts Department of the Russian State Library. It was prepared in the summer of 1926 and was intended for the State Publishing House. In the document M.N. Kufaev outlined an expanded understanding of bibliology as a general philosophy and methodology of book studies, which he had formulated earlier in his work Philosophy of the Book. The prospectus gives an idea of M.N. Kufaev’s ideas in the field of book terminology and classification of book disciplines. In particular, the document testifies to the scientist’s desire to use the concept of “book culture”, to develop the theme of “book studies and Marxism”, to pay attention to the economics of book studies.

Теоретические предпосылки изучения ФЕ-терминов и их вариантов в английском языке делового общения

This article studies theoretical material in the field of phraseology and terminology of business English, placing special emphasis on the variability of phraseological units and terms. The paper presents an analytical review of recent and relevant dissertations, monographs and research articles on business phraseology and terminology as well as variability thereof. The lexical composition of business language and the role of phraseological units in it are examined. The review lists a number of articles explaining the trend towards phraseologization of numerous terms used in business communication. Further, the paper studies current views on the structure of the meaning of the term and examines three main approaches to the definition of the term. Special attention is paid to the motivation of terms and lack of motivation of phraseological terms. The process of terms becoming phraseological units and vice versa is investigated, as well as the transfer of existing phraseological terms into a new phraseological-semantic field; terms describing these processes are considered. Further, the review mentions academic works looking into ways of enriching the terminology of modern business English with new phraseological terms, which include metaphorical and metonymic interpretations of the prototype. In addition, studies into phraseological variation are presented, analysing the concept of phraseological variant and its typological classifications; works on terminological variation are listed. The phenomenon of variation is considered in terms of both expression and content. The review of existing scholarly works confirms the need for further careful research into phraseological terms and their variants.

Phenomenology of the inclusive potential of the family as a factor in socialization of children with disabilities

Introduction. The lack of tools for studying the potential resources and capabilities of the family, as well as the search for optimal strategies and mechanisms for the real inclusion of people with disabilities in all spheres of public life is on the current national and international agenda. Aspects of rehabilitation potential of the individual and the environment, educational potential, functionality and effectiveness of the family, competence, including inclusive competence, are considered for a comprehensive analysis of inclusive potential of families raising children with disabilities. The emphasis is shifted to understanding the potential of the family as a factor in socialization of children with disabilities. The article aims to systematize and scientifically analyze ideas about the potential opportunities and resources for the socialization of children with disabilities and their families, followed by justification of the criteria base and mechanism for assessing the inclusive potential of families. Materials and methods. Within the framework of interdisciplinary scientific discourse, a model of a criteria base and of mechanism for analyzing and assessing the inclusive potential of a family raising a child with disabilities is proposed. The basis for constructing such model is decomposition of groups of competencies through indicators of parental effectiveness based on formalization. Results and discussion. Based on the analysis of the terminological field related to assessing and developing family potential in matters of development and socialization of a child with disabilities, the author’s positions on ‘inclusive family potential’ are presented. Some socio-psychological phenomena are considered that reflect the capabilities and resources of both the children themselves and their social environment. Particular attention is paid to indicating the functional effectiveness of parents of children with disabilities. Conclusion. The discussed model for assessing the inclusive potential of families raising children with disabilities has a universal design, formed as a result of initial testing and expert assessment. This approach allows for a comparative analysis of individual indicators and assessment of the influence certain factors exert on the effectiveness of accompanying children of different categories of disabilities. Systematically analyzing individual groups of parents’ inclusive competencies allows optimizing their inclusion in comprehensive support of children with disabilities.

In this regard, the content of the concept of “cultural sovereignty” is disclosed, its disposition in the terminological field of this field of research is determined. Cultural spheres in which the digitalization program has been implemented and where there are threats of substitution of the value-normative base of Russian culture by various globalization modifications are observed are considered. The analysis of the socio-cultural sphere for the reconstruction of cultural sovereignty is carried out and recommendations are given to eliminate possible risks hindering the dynamic development of cultural identity. The following methods were used: comparative, systemic and logical. The aim of the study is to identify and describe the tools for achieving sustainable sovereignty of modern culture in the digital society, their purpose and ways of implementation in modern practice.

The Concept of Conflict Semantic Explication Within the Functional Terminological Field (Based on the Analysis of Russian and International Media Sourses)

The study attempts to carry out an objective analysis of conflict as the main component of social dynamics in an interdisciplinary manner and within the paradigm of intercultural comparative research. In order to achieve this goal, an experimental study of the ways to conceptualize conflict in the functional field of media discourse was conducted. The object of the study is the content of the websites of twelve leading newspaper publications from five countries during the period of 2020–2022: Russia, Great Britain, the USA, India and China. The choice of media sources is predetermined by their leading role in the national media markets (top 10 national newspapers), as well as by similar characteristics: socio-political course, mass audience, and daily issuing. To study the degree of conflict manifestation, we used the Integrum media monitoring and analytical system which contains full-text electronic archives of more than 120,000 publications, including those selected for the study. To understand the dynamics of publicational activity, the total number of conflict-related texts for every year between 2020 and 2022 for each media source the quantitative analysis based on the detection of conflict attributes was performed. The share of conflict-related media texts in the overall agenda was revealed. The further analysis of semantic features combined within the most significant thematic categories shed light on the specificity of conceptual pattern typical of the countries under investigation.

Adult education ecosystem: Terminological field and interdisciplinary thesaurus modelling

Introduction. The relevance of the study is provoked by the rapid expansion of the educational environment, the emergence of new actors and educational service providers, which indicate changes in the institutional landscape of adult education and the development of educational ecosystems. Both in the world and in Russia, there is a growing demand for bridging the qualification gap and retraining a significant part of adults. Therefore, a comprehensive study of continuing adult education, including formal and informal education, that is inseparable from the demands of the platform economy, is becoming extremely important. There is a tendency to transform the idea of an educational ecosystem for lifelong adult learning into a well-thought-out educational policy. However, the problem is that the scientific and methodological substantiation of the ecosystem approach and the subsequent development of managerial work to develop the quality of human capital education are impossible without a unified terminological language of description.Aim. The article is aimed at theoretical substantiation of the terminological field and interdisciplinary thesaurus modelling of the adult education ecosystem.Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis is framed by evolutionary, systematic and interdisciplinary approaches to analyse adult education with regard to complex socio-economic and digital transformations. Using theoretical methods, such as critical, conceptual, comparative, thematic content analysis of Russian and foreign publications, the authors described the categorical field of the problem under investigation.Results. The authors have found that the conceptual and terminological field of the adult education ecosystem is shaped at the intersection of four disciplinary areas (ecology, economy, education, digital technologies). Based on the results, the authors identified the concepts and categories that reveal the processes in adult education; and proposed the idea of an interdisciplinary thesaurus and its conceptual model. Using the developed thesaurus, the authors gave a theoretical explanation for new phenomena and processes in adult education, carried out comparative analysis of the ecosystem with the traditional system of adult education. The authors define the adult education ecosystem as an open multidimensional self-regulating educational environment, where different types of education (formal, informal, corporate training) integrate via modern digital tools, providing symbiosis and co-evolution of participants, new patterns of links aimed at making a valuable offer for learners.Scientific novelty. For the first time, the idea and model of the interdisciplinary thesaurus have been proposed to describe transformation processes in adult education; the concept of “adult education ecosystem” has been revealed; the peculiarities of the adult education ecosystem in comparison with the traditional education system have been identified. The adult education ecosystem is explained as a theoretical construct, a socio-economic phenomenon and a management paradigm.Practical significance. The proposed thesaurus provides a unified description language that is in demand in pedagogical, managerial and scientific discourses. This is of particular importance for practitioners, designers of educational programmes, methodologists, managers, providers of various educational forms in the context of reforming the national adult education system, synchronising supply and demand in the labour market, developing tools for regulation and support of lifelong learning.

Phenomenology of the inclusive potential of the family as a factor in the socialization of children with disabilities

Introduction. Lack of tools for studying the potential resources and capabilities of the family, as well as search for optimal strategies and mechanisms for the real inclusion of people with disabilities in all spheres of public life is on the current agenda of national and international initiatives. For a comprehensive analysis of inclusive potential of families raising children with disabilities, aspects of the rehabilitation potential of the individual and the environment, of educational potential, functionality and effectiveness of the family, and of competence, including inclusive competence, are considered. The emphasis is shifted to understanding the potential of the family as a factor in the socialization of children with disabilities. The article aims to systematize and scientifically analyze ideas about the potential opportunities and resources for the socialization of children with disabilities and their families, and to justify the criteria base and mechanism for assessing the inclusive potential of families. Materials and methods. Within the framework of interdisciplinary scientific discourse, a model of the criteria base and mechanism for analyzing and assessing the inclusive potential of a family raising a child with disabilities is proposed. The basis for constructing the model is the decomposition of groups of competencies through indicators of parental effectiveness based on formalization. Results and discussion. Based on the analysis of the terminological field related to the assessment and development of family potential in matters of socialization and development of a child with disabilities, the author’s positions on inclusive family potential are presented. Some socio-psychological phenomena are considered that reflect the capabilities and resources of both the children themselves and their social environment. Particular attention is paid to indicating the functional effectiveness of parents of children with disabilities. Conclusion. The discussed model for assessing the inclusive potential of families raising children with disabilities has a universal design, formed as a result of initial testing and expert assessment of the professional community. This approach allows analyzing individual indicators and assessing influence of certain factors on the effectiveness of accompanying children of different categories of disabilities. A systematic analysis of individual groups of parents’ inclusive competencies allows optimizing their inclusion in the comprehensive support of children with disabilities.

Information Potential of a Corpus of Scientific Texts

The article considers publicly available corpus of texts presented in the internet, characterises and considers the potential of corpus linguistics for analysing the development of scientific trends, discourse and changes in the field of terminology. A dataset based on a corpus of texts of scientific articles in a petroleum transport trade journal and the Google Books Corpus is presented. The dataset allows us to examine changes in term usage frequencies from 1940 to 2019.The results of analyses of term usage frequencies are presented, and a comparison is made between changes in the technology industry and the development of key vocabulary. The results show that studies made using data from corpuses of scientific and technical texts have good potential for understanding trends in technological development and the dynamics of change in industry and terminology.

“Osint” and “consolidated information” in the terminological field of information and analytical activity

The purpose of the study is to reveal the content of the terms “OSINT” and “consolidated information” in the terminological field of information and analytical activity, to identify similarities and differences between them. Research methodology. General scientific research methods of analysis and synthesis were used; the method of comparative analysis to compare the essence of the terms OSINT and consolidated information; the method of content analysis in the study of texts and documents; the hypothetical method to substantiate the synonymity of the terms OSINT and consolidated information. The scientific novelty lies in the identification of analogies between the terms “OSINT” and “consolidated information”, which form a terminological series in the scientific discourse and practical field of information and analytical activities. Conclusions. The terminological field in the scientific discourse and in the field of practical information and analytical activities is characterised by the formation of a synonymous series, which includes the terms “OSINT” and “consolidated information”, which are actually designations of the concept of “information and analytical activities”. An analysis of the content of these terms shows that the difference is that the content of the concept of “consolidated information” does not indicate a specific field of activity, while OSINT retains the relevant connotations in the application of the term in other areas. OSINT in its meaning, regardless of the scope of use in intelligence activities, is a type of information and analytical activity which is gaining active development in the modern information and communication space to perform a wide range of tasks in social practice aimed at searching, collecting and analysing information from open (publicly available) sources which are not classified or restricted

Official-business communication in modern church discourse

In the article, the author examines an important aspect of linguistic and cultural dynamics, namely, the functioning of names, genres (types) of official and business communication in the church discourse, which testifies to the processes of interaction between linguistic and non-linguistic factors. The specifics of genre names used in documents of official and business communication of church discourse are analyzed. Significant emphasis is placed on the interaction of cultural, social, and linguistic factors in shaping the terminological field of religious discourse. Attention is focused on understanding the concept of «discourse» and its role in shaping the modern cognitive paradigm of the humanities. The interpretation of religious discourse in philosophical, religious studies, sociological, or linguistic research is explored. Specifics of using professional vocabulary and terms are indicated. The names of religious documents are presented, which form the appropriate terminological system of official and business communication of religious discourse and are a part of religious discourse in general. Signs of official and business communication in religious discourse are presented. The list of documents in which official and business communication is implemented in religious discourse in accordance with the church hierarchy is provided: starting from documents issued by the head of the church — the Metropolitan, ending with documents of the diocesan administrations and religious community (parish). The main types of official and business discourse are identified. It is noted that official and business communication in religious discourse covers documented acts of church activities between organizations. Keywords: genres (types) of documents, official business communication, church discourse, linguistic and cultural dynamics.

Les termes prévenu et accusé en droit pénal français, canadien et suisse et leurs équivalents roumains

In French criminal law, the various procedural statuses of (alledged) offenders are highly nuanced: suspect, témoin, témoin assisté, mis en examen, prévenu, accusé , etc. The concepts operationalised in this respect in the codes (Code pénal and Code de procédure pénale in partic ular) are not systematically defined, but the oppositions that structure this terminological field can easily be approached with the help of contexts and cotexts (the study of collocations proves very promising in this respect). The same is true of the opposition that is the focus of our research (prévenu vs. accusé). e two notions are culturally marked: our study will explore the differences in use (and therefore in conceptualisation / designation) of the two terms in French, Swiss and Canadian criminal law, while evoking the intercultural Romanian equivalents of the terminological system from which they derive.

RECEPTIVE ASSIMILATION OF FRENCH BORROWINGS INTO THE BASIC ENGLISH VOCABULARY

Objective. The objective of the article is to analyze the French borrowings come into the English language in the context of the receptive assimilation process; identify the stages of receptive assimilation; analyze the French loan-words during the process of borrowing, appropriate to each stage in order to enable effective intercultural research process connected with historical aspect of philological and linguistic studies. Methods. The main scientific results are obtained using two groups of methods: theoretical and statistical ones. The theoretical methods include: the method of theoretical generalization, which makes it possible to determine and nature of French borrowings’ receptive assimilation; problem- chronological ̶ for considering French borrowings of different periods in dynamics and distinguishing periods; methods of extrapolation ̶ to justify provisions regarding the understanding of the influence of historical experience on the vocabulary of the English language; the problem- genetic method ̶ to justify the provisions regarding the analysis of problems that may hinder effective intercultural research process connected with historical aspect of philological and linguistic studies. The statistical group includes verification of received information by processing and comparing data published in various scientific sources. Results. The theoretical analysis of the nature of the French borrowings makes it possible to identify the stages of receptive assimilation that enable effective intercultural studies in the fields of linguistics, philology, and terminology. The conceptual and categorical apparatus of the study containing the following terms as: “French borrowings” and “receptive assimilation” is formed. The stages of receptive assimilation of French borrowings into the English language are defined. Interpretation and analysis of the genesis of possible stages of lexical borrowings will lead to successful management of the educational process for philology, lexicology and language history students. The generalized seven typical stages of receptive assimilation are distinguished as follows: borrowing; integration; phonological adaptation; morphological adaptation; semantic shift; naturalization; and complete assimilation.

WORD-FORMATION MODELS OF BUSINESS TERMS IN KAZAKH AND ENGLISH: CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS

At present, great importance is paid to the stabilization of terms and term formation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The terms of the business sphere are constructed based on Greek and Latin languages and spread around the world through English. Newly proposed terms in the field of business should be supported in terms of structure meaning and systematization by the state and from the point of linguistics. In this direction, the main goal of the research is to determine the models of term formation by making a comparative analysis of the word-formation of Kazakh and English business terminology.Contrastive analysis of Kazakh business terms with English language, a representative of European languages, helped to reveal the peculiarities of our language. The structural-componential analysis and contrastive methods were used in the course of the research. The statistical data analysis of business terminology dictionaries determined that most of the business terminology in the Kazakh language consists of international terms.The main results of the research include the identification of structural similarities and differences in Kazakh and English business terminology. At the same time, analysis of ways of creating Kazakh and English business terminology and morphological and syntactic models allowed us to group the original terminology of the Kazakh language according to the linguistic elements of the mother tongue. There is an opportunity to apply research materials and terminological models for researchers in the field of business terminology, lexicographers, and special terminology courses.

КАТЕГОРИЯ «ОППОЗИЦИЯ» В ТЕРМИНОЛОГИЧЕСКОМ ПОЛЕ «ХИРУРГИЧЕСКИЙ ИНСТРУМЕНТАРИЙ» (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ТЕРМИНОВ НЕМЕЦКОГО ЯЗЫКА)

In this article, the category “opposition” in the terminological field “surgical instruments” of the German language is examined by cognitive approach. Antonyms are analyzed in accordance with the semantic and structural classification developed by L.A. Novikov. The purpose of this work is to analyze and describe the terms of the studied terminological field, in the semantics of which there are indications of the category “opposition”. The materials for the study were compound terms (774 terms) and terminological word-combinations (524 terms) in the German language. The results of the analysis showed that the category “opposition” is characteristic for the analyzed terminological field. Using semantic classification contrarian, complementary and vector antonyms were identified in the studied terminological field. According to their structure antonyms of the terminological field “surgical instruments” in the German language are represented by compound terms and terminological word-combinations.

The Problem of Terminology and its Significance in Arabic Criticism

The controversy in the Arab arena has stirred up the world of Arab criticism causing Arab readers to live in constant turmoil due to the ongoing debate between heritage and modernity, particularly after advocates of modernity called for updating the Arab mind and severing ties with tradition, captivated by Western modernity. On the other hand, others have clung to Arab heritage, attempting to revive it and employ it in their intellectual and literary works. Amidst this intellectual conflict that dominated the field of contemporary Arab criticism, reality is experiencing a genuine crisis, manifested in the loss of the distinctiveness and intellectual identity of criticism. This was a result of the influx of Western cultural terms into Arab culture through the process of acculturation. However, this transition had a negative impact on the practice of criticism, as these imported terms carried significant conceptual baggage at all levels. Moreover, these imported terms remained in a state of flux and the Arab criticism continued to struggle between the absence of a unified terminological formula and the translation or adaptation of these terms from Western studies. This has had a negative effect on the effectiveness of procedural terminology and its active role in unifying and facilitating the circulation of information. What is the significance of terminology in the Arab critical arena? And how can it be regulated and unified? In this research paper, we will attempt, God willing, to examine the reality of Arab critical terminology and its challenges through the following elements: 1. The nature of critical terminology and its challenges. 2. The mechanisms used in formulating critical terminology. 3. The experiences of some Arab critics in the field of critical terminology. 4. Proposed solutions to address the problematic nature of critical terminology.
