Academic literature on the topic 'Functional and stylistic characteristics of a scientific text'

By examining the syntactic structure of poetry, we may comprehend and characterise the current level of linguistic thought as well as the manner in which different writers use it. This linguistic research will provide useful information for analysing syntactic phenomena in language reality. The object of the research is a collection of poems by Mykhailo Kameniuk "Songs of a Gentle Vagabond", and the subject of analysis is the syntactic features of the poems presented in the publication. The purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the specifics of the syntactic organization of Mykhailo Kameniuk’s poetry collection "Songs of a Gentle Vagabond", to establish specific methods of organizing artistic imagery at the syntactic level, to select illustrative material that would reveal the poet’s linguistic manner of writing. Research methodology. The general scientific techniques employed in the analysis of the collection are analysis and synthesis as theoretical methods-operations that, in the first place, aim to comprehend the phenomenon of a poetic work and its existence in the plane of theoretical characteristics; these techniques are subordinated to the need to understand the main trends in the development of the aesthetic and literary discourse of poetry, without which it is impossible to consider the syntactic features of poetic works; and finally, abstraction and concretization as theoretical methods of operation; The deductive-inductive method as a cognitive action that allows you to move from the empirical experience of perceiving the structure of a poetic text and its understanding to certain theoretical generalizations (induction), and from them to other phenomena and processes, the comprehension of which is subject to the theoretical positions obtained through generalization (deduction). Using the formal method, which permits analysing a literary work’s form as a collection of techniques in terms of their aesthetic impact on the reader, the structural-semiotic method, which aims to characterise the poetic text's structure and is subordinated to the task of carrying out aesthetic communication between the author and the reader, and the method of providing a comprehensive and methodical explanation of the phenomenon of a poetic work and its existence, which is carried out in the process of linguistic and literary cognition, are added to the general scientific methods. The main content of the article is a detailed analysis of the syntactic organization of Mykhailo Kameniuk's poetry. Each artist's speech originality is unique due to the structural and stylistic elements of poetic speech, which represent their mood and worldview. Characteristics of the author's basic syntactic structures for the expression of the sentence's principal participants: The majority of subjects are simple, denoted by singular or plural common or proper nouns in the nominative case; subjects that do not function as nouns serve a specific artistic purpose, mainly preserving the emotive and sentimental tone of poetry. Among the compound two-element predicates, the most commonly used predicate is "null-copula + noun in the nominative case", which expresses a constant feature or a qualitative characteristic inherent in the subject. In the poetry of M. Kameniuk, inverse constructions are actively functioning, in which predicates precede subjects, direct objects precede word forms, on which they depend, agreed definitions occupy a postposition relative to descriptive words, often removed from them by other members of the sentence, which transfers the semantic imposition to inverted units. Incomplete syntactic constructions, in particular incomplete elliptical and incomplete contextual sentences, are actively functioning in the author’s poetic work. The carried-out research allows us to conclude that the poetic syntax of M. Kameniuk is characterized by the richness and variety of syntactic units that allow to convey the psychological state of the lyrical hero and the originality of the vision of the depicted by the author.

The aim of the article is to generalize and present the lexico-grammatical and stylistic features of English-language advertising slogans. The study allows us to determine the need of society to understand and conceptualize advertising, the mechanisms of verbal influence of advertising texts, analysis of language tools on which are based logical and emotional argumentation in advertising to persuade and motivate the audience to action, ensuring the ability of advertising text to remember . Methodology. The survey is conducted on the basis of a comparison of the data of the respondents (using the same questionnaire) on the impact of advertising slogans on the consumer, both popularity and brand. The survey also covered the family of students, which made it possible to compare these options for answering the survey questions. The results of the survey showed that younger respondents adopted English-language advertising slogans to choose about the benefits of the product and its brand. However, the older generation was more likely to be driven by savings and proven brands. Advertising for them is a show and does not deserve trust but carries the impetus for further study. Practical consequences. As the younger generation is effectively influenced by advertising slogans, modern advertising compositions take into account the characteristics of this audience. What do they aim for their income, exclusivity, price variations. As for the senior respondents, they demonstrated time-tested thrift and a scrupulous approach to pricing strategies for advertising slogans. Thus, the experimental study showed a multi-vector feature of the respondents' attitude to advertising slogans.

This paper is the first complex research of lexical synonyms as components of the artistic discourse of modern Ukrainian female prose introduced into the field of semantic, linguistic and stylistic analysis. The scientific novelty of the paper is that for the first time in linguistic and Ukrainian studies the lexical synonymy in modern Ukrainian female prose is comprehensively explored, as a result of which the semantic, linguistic and stylistic features of synonyms are clarified. The study proves that in the analyzed works lexical synonyms, which express the idiolects of modern Ukrainian female prose writers and constitute a set of expressive and imaging marking means of their language creation, represent a number of semantic, linguistic-stylistic, categories. Which allows interpreting them not only in the functional-semantic context but also within linguostylistics. Modern Ukrainian female prose in Ukrainian literature is the latest holistic socio-cultural phenomenon is represented by the works of such authors as Emma Andiievska, Sophiia Andrukhovych, Nina Bichui, Liuko Dashvar, Oksana Zabuzhko, Kateryna Kalytko, Irena Karpa, Yevhenii Kononenko, Maria Matios and others. In the paper it is proved that word convergences appear in the literary text because of the special purpose, the purpose set by the authors, therefore they become striking representatives of idiolects of separate masters of prose. In the paper a detailed analysis of lexical synonyms is carried out, which in the artistic discourse of modern Ukrainian female prose perform a number of basic and additional functions, among which are: functions of differentiation, substitution, aesthetics, synonymic opposition, etc. Using lexical synonyms in different contexts, prose female writers always carefully weigh the semantic nuances of each word, thus achieving the expressiveness, sophistication and high aesthetic value of their literature.

One of the mandatory aspects of the learning about the internal structural organization of the language of economic works is the study of the composition, semantics, thematic parameters, the contextual load of lexical nominations, that is, the study of the vocabulary as the basis of each functional style, each specific text. The vocabulary components’ characteristics are directly related to the genre and style, thematic and pragmatic focus of the analyzed texts. These texts represent the popular science substyle of the early 19th and the late 20th centuries, when there was no clear distinction between actual scientific and popular science researches. This fact significantly affected the manner of information presentation, therefore, the language structure of the works (for example, the active use of colloquial expressions, phraseological units and colloquial syntax structures in the context of the book vocabulary). These features also had a pragmatic motivation: they were aimed at the simple and comprehensive presentation of complicated scientific information, since I. Franko’s works were often designated not for economists, but for an“average” reader. ...

Such a specific element of political communication as a slogan, which is often used within the election campaign, has been to the present day a less studied issue in the Russian and Kazakh political linguistics. Nowadays this genre of political text is being mainly mastered by the sociologists, politologists, image-makers, etc., dealing with the issues of electoral technologies. This article deals with the study of stylistic features of a political slogan which are characteristic for the election campaigns of Russia and Kazakhstan held in the period of recent decades. The results of the study show that the main purpose of their use is to enhance the expressiveness of the statement. This allows us to conclude that the language of political slogans has great opportunities and resources to implement this impact. It also becomes apparent that persuasiveness is one of the key functions of the slogan's pragmatic functions.

The present paper deals with the importance of communication and translation as a means of communication between cultures. It also highlights the intra and extra linguistic factors that are significant for translator works and thus, effective communication. In this respect the paper is an attempt to represent the equivalents of Georgian polysemic words within the frame of paradigms and syntactical functions on the basis of two English versions of Georgian hagiographic text, of the V century AD, The Martyrdom of the Blessed Queen Shushanik by Iakob Tsurtaveli. The Paper deals with the problem of reference between the notions and subjects, the process of decoding and the reasons for possible simultaneous misconceptions or misunderstanding. It also outlines the formation of a concept word through the linguistic-stylistic studies of the information by both translators which in turn provides the correct perception of the hagiographic text for the English speaking reader. The research is base don comparative and component analysis.

The article focuses on the key characteristics of an Internet meme and evaluates its potential application as a tool for developing school students’ linguistic and communicative competence. The author investigates scientific researches on Internet technology and methodology of foreign language teaching, and, thus, the author views Internet memes as a form of polycode text that contributes to the development of readers’ functional literacy. TThe study proves that the use of internet memes, both during lessons and within independent and project work, facilitates a more effective development of foreign language communication skills and the improvement of communicative competence, as well as increases motivation for foreign language learning, when proper methodological organisation of student activities is implemented. Additionally, the article provides sample tasks that serve as examples of usage of Internet memes based on the content of the 9th grade textbook, “L’oiseau bleu” (The Blue Bird), which can serve as supplementary resources when working with the textbook.

The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.
