Abstract:

The article deals with the problem of status of various types of meanings that emerge when describing the semantics of a word by psycholinguistic methods in the linguistic consciousness. It is shown that during the lexicographic fixation of psycholinguistic meanings revealed by the results of an associative experiment, there arises a problem of describing the reflections of meanings that in traditional systemic linguistics are referred to as agnonymic and taronymic. With regard to psycholinguistic meanings that reflect the actual linguistic consciousness of native speakers, there emerges the p

Abstract: The Lives of Cleopatra and Octavia is not simply a fanciful delivering of history but also a clever interrogation of biography and fiction. A narratological analysis of Sarah Fielding's introduction and The Lives reveals how Fielding's adaptation is simultaneously true and untrue, and how she subtly parallels her authorial practice with Cleopatra's contrivances. Fielding's constant elision among author, subject, and genres reveals the unsettling, yet alluring, power of fiction, and of prose narrative generally. Exposing the false dialectic between biography and fiction, Fielding chal

AbstractSudden cardiac arrest is a rare but devastating cause of death in young adults.

The following essay explores the use of fiction in ethnographic research. While the concept of fiction as a research methodology is not a new one, most proponents claim that fiction is most useful in the writing of ethnographic data. Despite the gradual acceptance of arts-based methods in ethnography, there still remains a false dichotomy of art and scientific research. This essay contributes to the discussion by arguing that fiction also plays an active role in producing knowledge and truth. To make this argument, the author brings together in conversation scholars of art and literature with

A lie is neither a false proposition, nor a mistake, nor a mere fiction; it is a type of fiction, an act, and precisely an intentional act. An act calls for a subject, and therefore a lie is inseparable from its subject. Together, they make up a real object: it has to be real, since a lie produces effects, and the cause-effect relationship only holds between real beings. Like every real object, a lie unfolds in a (phenomenological) context. But there is more: it identifies a (dialectical) context.

Sudden cardiac arrest can leave serious brain damage or lead to death, so it is very important to predict before a cardiac arrest occurs.

The increasing visibility of a number of previously marginalized literary cultures is one of the most challenging developments in post-war American fiction.

It is customary to think that ethnic authors write within the older realist or naturalist traditions. The new scholarship, however, claims that literary forms are not organically connected with ethnic groups.

A crucial scene in this cross-national love plot is based on ethnic fakery, thereby presenting to its readers the constructedness of national and cultural identities.

Abstract:

The holodeck in Star Trek is a device that creates a virtual, fictional reality that is virtually indistinguishable from actual reality. The user experiences an extremely high degree of immersion. The article explains what consequences arise when the boundaries between reality and fiction become blurred and the user can no longer distinguish between the two worlds.

Abstract:

From SARS to H1N1, and most recently COVID-19, global disease outbreaks have defined the past several decades. For many, we are living in what can only be described as a pre-apocalyptic moment. Indeed, we are currently facing a global pandemic outbreak – a situation that had been previously described as imminent and perhaps even long overdue.

Abstract:

Children are often viewed as poor eyewitnesses. Fact-finders, lawyers, and researchers assume that children are exceptionally prone to accept external suggestive (leading) questions and to create false memories. Is this assumption justified? This review will show it is not. First, studies on spontaneous false memories—elicited without any suggestive pressure—reveal that children are less likely than adults to produce them. Second, under certain circumstances, children are even less prone to accept external suggestions than adults. This counterintuitive finding happens when false suggestions co
