The article deals with pronouns functioning in the collocations with the kinship term <em>дядя</em> &lsquo;uncle&rsquo; in the meaning, which is a result of the secondary nomination process. &nbsp;The language phenomenon addressed is treated in terms of the category of certainty / uncertainty. Demonstrative and indefinite pronouns are frequent lexical means of expressing certainty / uncertainty. The need to suggest a comprehensive lexicographic description of one of the most frequent Russian words, i.e. the kinship term <em>д</em><em>ядя </em>&lsquo;uncle&rsquo;, in terms of the integral and a

Abstract:
In this article, the authors consider the category of certainty/uncertainty in differently structured languages using the example of Kabardino-Circassian, Russian and English, and also highlight the reasons why the absence of articles in Russian and Kabardino-Circassian languages causes diffi-culties for native speakers of these languages when learning English. Articles in English carry a significant burden: they help clarify the meaning of nouns, indicating their number, specificity or universality. The conducted research allows us to conclude that the category of certain-ty/uncertainty is re

Abstract:
Purpose. When discussing the phenomenon of the pronominalization of Russian numerals, the most discussed word is “odin (one)”, which is often used as an indefinite pronoun. However, in fact, the word “odin (one)” is capable of expressing a definitive meaning depending on the context and situation. In this respect, a similar phenomenon is ob served in the Chinese language. Unlike the Chinese word “一 (yi)”, which is used mainly in the function of pronouns and numerals, the Russian word “odin (one)” is able to perform the functions of different parts of speech.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the nomenclature of means of expressing epistemic modality in the English language. At the functional-semantic level, the semantics of epistemic assessment is reflected in the values of units of the morphological, lexical, and syntactic levels of language, capable of performing the following semantic functions at the level of utterance: the degree of confidence of the speaker, the degree of validity of judgment, subjectivity, and unreality. Since the combined common function of all means of expressing epistemic evaluation is to reflect the speaker’s in

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to present one of the main means of expressing the category of certainty-indeterminacy, or rather the opposition of the forms of the genitive and accusative cases, its semantics and ways of expressing them in Persian. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that Iranian students make persistent mistakes in Russian due to failure to distinguish between the forms of accusative and genitive cases of definiteness and uncertainty, due to the lack of a case system in the Persian language.Results.

Abstract:
The paper studies the frequency of epistemic parentheses (bezuslovno ‘definitely’, verojatno ‘probably’, kazhetsya ‘likely’, konechno ‘of course’, etc.) in the news issued by the official media channels in Telegram. The article analyzes the hypothesis that the excessive or rare use of such linguistic units by the media channels may reflect not only their thematic or stylistic preferences, but also their political orientation. As the statistical analysis shows, the media that “prefer” parentheses expressing certainty tend to follow the official Russian ideology. According to authors’ observatio

It is based on the Trinity Lancaster Corpus Sample and explores the language produced during the Discussion, Conversation and Interactive tasks of the language examinations by L2 English users from Chinese, Indian and Italian linguistic backgrounds, whose proficiency ranges from the B2 to C2 levels (i.e. high intermediate, advanced, expert) of the CEFR. The findings suggest that the L2 users with an Italian backgrou

Lexical exponents of hypothetical modality in Polish and LithuanianThe article focuses on the lexical exponents of hypothetical modality in Polish and Lithuanian. The purpose for comparing and contrasting the lexical exponents of hypothetical modality is not only to identify all the lexemes in both languages but also find the answer to the following question: whether the morphological exponents of hypothetical modality (so-called modus relativus) familiar to the Lithuanian language have/had an influence on limiting the number of the lexical exponents and the frequency of using these exponents

Abstract:
The article discusses the specificity of implicit representation of uncertainty by means of the English language in the British postmodern literary discourse. The data for analysis was selected from the novels written by I. McEwan, D. Mitchell and D. Lodge. Implicitness is viewed as an inherent feature of language and is a promising object for linguistic analysis, as its mechanisms are unfolded in a new way within the cognitive-discursive paradigm. Within any language, uncertainty is verbalized not only explicitly, but also through a wide range of implicit means. While explicit statements can

Lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality in Polish and LithuanianThe dissertation discusses the problem of lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality to be observed in Polish and Lithuanian. To begin with, the definition of the hypothetical modality along with its paraphrase has been formed. Furthermore, the gradational character of the category has been analyzed. There have been distinguished six groups of lexemes, which express particular degrees of the hypothetical modality – ranging from that expressing the trace of uncertainty (minimal degree of probability) to that expressing

Abstract:
The topic of the book is the incremental growth of linguistic knowledge from lexical to structural-cum-textual during the so-called later language development. Language mastery does not presuppose any acquaintance with prescriptive grammar but, instead, concerns the core of language which the so-called consensus principle applies to: the most frequent words and structures are mastered with certainty by everybody, but uncertainty increases as less frequent and more variable phenomena are taken into consideration. It is the goal of the study to make explicit the knowledge that is common to schoo
