Full textAbstract:
The Kingdom of Belgium appeared on the map of European countries relatively late, namely in 1830, as a result of the division of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands into two sovereign states. As the Kingdom of Belgium transformed from a unitary state into a federal state in the 19th century, in addition to the external (state) borders, it also has internal borders, which separate three autonomous regions, three linguistic communities and four linguistic regions. The basis of internal divisions is the linguistic conflict of two cultures colliding in the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium: French and Dutch-speaking (Roman and Germanic). These divisions also pass through towns and villages. This conflict was resolved in the 1960s by applying a unique concept of communes with linguistic facilities, where two different languages were allowed to function officially. Linguistic divisions were especially sharp in the two world wars, when the occupiers set these two separate cultures against one another. In this article, the author analyses particularly dramatic cases of this type of borders and their consequences for the residents of the borderland.

The article contains information on all general-purpose linguistic museums that are currently functioning in the world, functioned in the past, or are at the project stage. In cases where this is possible, the structure of museum’s exposition is examined. Criteria that have played a key role in the division of museums’ content into structural elements are defined. The accuracy of exposition authors’ compliance of their approaches has also been analyzed. The first linguistic museum in the world that opened its doors to visitors was Taras Shevchenko university of Kyiv’s Linguistic Educational Museum founded in 1992 by the order of the university’s rector. During next sixteen years it was world’s only linguistic museum till the year 2008 when National Museum of Language in the US was opened. In 2013 a new linguistic museum named Mundolingua was established in Paris. After 2014 when the museum in USA was closed and till now it continues to be the only linguistic museum in the world except Linguistic Educational Museum in Ukraine that is functioning. At present times there are several big projects of establishing a comprehensive linguistic museum in different countries. Among them is Planet Word in Washington, Museum der Sprachen der Welt in Berlin, Museum of Language in London. The work upon these projects is in progress and hasn’t reached the stage of completeness. There are also two websites available on the Internet that have the name of museum but does not contain any traces of the exposition content. These are the website of the above mentioned National Museum of Language and Taalmuseum in the Netherlands. Both of these websites are portals for announcements concerning exhibitions, lectures and meetings in different places that are somehow referred to language topics. In this article the structure of the museums content has also been analyzed. Linguistic Educational Museum in Kyiv was established for academic purposes therefore its content has the same structure as the Introductory Linguistics course. At the same time it reveals the principles of the museum exposition author’s Doctor of Science thesis named the Metatheory of Linguisics.

Introduction. The article continues a series of publications on the linguistics of relations (hereinafter R-linguistics) and is devoted to the origin of signs, their independence and determination of the dimension of linguistic spaces.Methodology and sources. The article is devoted to the continuation of the axiomatic approach, but for the identification process. Research methods are to develop the necessary mathematical concepts for linguistics in the field of identification. Results and discussion. The concept of a sign is defined and its interrelation with decomposition of linguistic spaces is established. This radically changes the attitude to signs in linguistics, where the “external” origin of signs is assumed. It is shown that the decomposition of linguistic spaces into signs spaces entails the independence of signs and the possibility of decomposition of objects of identification. It is fundamentally distinguished by the signs on the parameters. On the basis of the independence of signs it is possible to formulate the notion of dimension of linguistic spaces, which is defined as the smallest number of signs describing the linguistic space. In the lattice of linguistic spaces there is a division operation, which allows to simplify the selection of signs.Conclusion. The main conclusions are as follows. Signs, on the basis of which the identification of objects in the category, are abstract mathematical objects associated with the decomposition of linguistic spaces. Signs are independent from each other and allow not only to make decomposition of spaces, but also to decompose on parts objects of identification. Their origin is not related to their presence in the “outside world”, so it, as will be shown later, creates the basis for the emergence of language.

Full textAbstract:
Studying of dialects takes an important place in Arabic linguistics. It is a significant fact from two aspects: First – For a long time dialects were considered “spoiled” variants of literary language and therefore serious discussions about them were avoided. Second – Such opinion was finally overcome and because dialects are means of everyday communication specific for each country and even for particular areas within a dialect, they really deserve to be scientifically studied. Studying of old and contemporary dialects is equally important and conditioned by their mutual language features. Apart from their huge versatility, which is, according to many philologists, reflected in different pronunciation and vocabulary, all dialects basically have something that unifies them and makes them mutually understandable and that is the structure of a language. Gradual development and prominence of certain dialects like Egyptian, Tunisian or Syrian, points out a necessity of overcoming a deep gap between dialects and literary language. There are some predictions that in the future these dialects will either possibly become standard language forms or the literary language (as requested by Taha Husayn) will have to be simplified and thus accessible to everybody in Arabic world. In any case, linguists will soon have a very significant role in finding solutions for that very complicated problem which could imply some inevitable political connotations.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to explore the linguistic view of the world in two Balkan and related languages – Bulgarian and Croatian. Тhe secret is a concept in the process of the division of the world, because it is a fundamental and global part of the under-standing of reality, and the linguistic representation of this perception is an essential part of building the Balkan image of the world. The object of the research is the semantic space of the secret in the modern Balkan languages and the system of phraseology and idiomatic expressions that participate in the construction of the concept of secret. Тhe secret is conceived and conceptualized similarly in the Bulgarian and Croatian languages, it is presented as an object or substance. There is a partial overlap of the semantic field secret with silence and non-speaking, in some cases with silence and darkness. The different metaphorical schemes building the view of the world are presented. The conclusion is that we could speak of a common Balkan understanding of a concept, a piece of the puzzle of the Balkan linguistic picture of the world, which is yet to be explored, described and reconstructed.

Full textAbstract:
While the notion of the ‘area’ or ‘Sprachbund’ has a long history in linguistics, with geographically-defined regions frequently cited as a useful means to explain typological distributions, the problem of delimiting areas has not been well addressed. Lists of general-purpose, largely independent ‘macro-areas’ (typically continent size) have been proposed as a step to rule out contact as an explanation for various large-scale linguistic phenomena. This squib points out some problems in some of the currently widely-used predetermined areas, those found in the World Atlas of Language Structures (Haspelmath et al., 2005). Instead, we propose a principled division of the world’s landmasses into six macro-areas that arguably have better geographical independence properties.

word for ‘nature.’ Th e lack of such terminology stems from the fact that the division between the human realm and the environment we live in has not been (historically or culturally) as separated as it is in the modern world. However, while there are no traditional words for ‘nature’ in Mayan languages, some of the languages use descriptive terms or neologisms that are oft en translated as ‘nature’ in dictionaries and other linguistic sources. The focus of this article is to understand the concept of nature in the Maya worldview based primarily on linguistic sources.

This article analyzes the methodological aspects of multicultural competence formation in the study of geography of Ukraine and the world. The article systematizes the content of school geography curricula in the context of studying the ethno-linguistic picture of the world and the tasks of forming multicultural competence and its component - ethno-linguistic comprehensiveness. The article shows the important role of the practical component of ethno-linguistic competence in the formation of skills and abilities for successful communication in society, including in the process of intercultural interaction. In the problem of forming students' ethno-linguistic competence in the study of school geography courses, several aspects are distinguished: didactic, methodological and content. This publication focuses on the analysis of the content of school geography curricula in the context of teaching the ethno-linguistic picture of the world and the tasks of forming ethno-linguistic competence. The conditions for the formation of ethno-linguistic competence of students are created in almost all school geography courses from grades 6 to 10. The ethno-linguistic picture of the world and Ukraine can be most fully and systematically revealed in sections and topics directly related to the population. In topics related to the economy, environmental activities, and country characteristics, ethno-linguistic knowledge is formed mostly in a fragmentary way in the context of other topics. In grade 6, students begin to learn about peoples and their cultural and linguistic characteristics. For the first time, students are introduced to the key races of our planet, studying their appearance and the geography of their distribution within individual continents. Considerable attention is also paid to the most numerous peoples of the world, and to the peculiarities of economic and cultural activities of the world's peoples. In grade 7, when studying the geography of continents and oceans, in addition to physical and geographical aspects, considerable attention is paid to socio-economic aspects, in particular, the peculiarities of ethnic, linguistic and economic division of the population and its adaptation to living conditions in different parts of the world. In grades 8 and 9, the largest number of topics is allocated to mastering the peculiarities of the ethnic and linguistic composition of the world's population, Ukraine and the native land. In the 10th grade geography course, the formation of students' ethno-linguistic competence continues and is consolidated in the context of studying individual regions and countries of the world, geographical area studies. By the end of the geography course, students should have acquired basic ethno-linguistic knowledge and developed a tolerant attitude toward representatives of other races and peoples of the world. The formation of multicultural and its component ethno-linguistic competence of students plays an important role in the development of their personality, worldview and life values, contributing to the formation of civic position and humanism. The practical component of ethno-linguistic competence involves the development of skills and abilities to communicate successfully in society, including in the process of intercultural interaction.

Full textAbstract:
The linguistic worldview is formed in the daily perception of a language community. It is the overall image of the world which is reflected in language, it is the mode of accessing and the worldwide structure, it is the practical conceptualization. In the relations with cultural characteristics – community thinking, it can be considered from many sides, especially the world's division of a community through vocabulary of language. Statistics, comparisons, comparisons of identifying words have reflected the world’s division of a community.Dividing the world into meaning pieces of words has created the diversity of thinking and community culture. On the one hand, it has had a great influence on the formation of language; on the other hand it has brought the richness of thinking and culture which also makes the distinctions in the lexical meaning of words.

Full textAbstract:
Linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy set is a new extension of the linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy set, which effectively represents the fuzzy and uncertain decision-making information based on qualitative modeling. However, its operational rules are unable to process pure linguistic exponential calculations, in which the exponents are represented using linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy values and the bases are represented as linguistic terms or interval linguistic numbers. This greatly restricts its application in decision making under complex environments. As the complement of the existing linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy operational rules, this paper defines linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy calculation rules, including division, subtraction, and exponent operations. Based on theorem-based proofs, the relevant properties of the calculation rules have been analyzed, such as commutative law, distributive law, symmetry, and so on. Moreover, in order to facilitate the application of linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy theory, this paper introduces the concept of dual linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy value. Building on this foundation, a series of weighted aggregation operators for the calculations involving linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy values and dual linguistic q-Rung orthopair fuzzy values have been designed. In conclusion, a novel pure linguistic multi criteria decision-making methodology is introduced in this work. The validity and utility of the proposed method are demonstrated via a real-world application in the decision process of energy resource exploitation.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study is to describe the religious component of the person’s
 worldview. The results of association experiments enable us to reconstruct
 the specifics of the actualization of the word’s psychological meaning in
 the individual’s linguistic consciousness. This approach is perspective in
 the study of associations for establishing the religious worldview in which
 the linguistic division of the world is correlated with the typology of associative
 fields. Language and religion, representing two different images of
 the world, have in their structure different content both by volume and the
 nature of the information, constituenting this knowledge and by its role and
 place in the structure of social consciousness. Language and religion are
 the ways of formation and existence of knowledge, and the combination of
 this knowledge of reality, formed in general consciousness is a worldview.
 In this material there is to show the mutual influence of religious and linguistic
 worldviews by identifying and partial description of the religious meaning
 of the word, which is defined as a content of a word, displaying in the mind
 of an individual and fixing in it the mystical views, based on the faith in supernatural
 forces and beings (gods, spirits). Subsequent stages of the study
 of the religious component in the mechanism of identification processes in
 the person’s linguistic consciousness involve a comparative study of verbal
 associations on the material of a number of Turkic languages.

Full textAbstract:
A number of areas on the world linguistic map show accretions of linguistic systems which have undergone intense exchange of features, including high degrees of (perforce) partial relexification, or extreme borrowing, in which preexisting features of a language are replaced by forms originating in other linguistic systems. These constitute a special kind of linguistic process, related to other language contact phenomena such as syntactic and semantic metatypy, cultural borrowing and unnecessary borrowing. Parts of the Southern Caribbean, specifically the former Netherlands Antilles, Suriname, French Guiana and Guyana, constitute area where such phenomena are common (McWhorter & Good 2012; Jacobs 2012; Parkvall & Jacobs 2023). This is a region in which contact-induced change has resulted in patterns of borrowing, some of which are quite rare, such as a form of the Core-Periphery division with a very slender core of inherited morphs (Grant 2019), and others which are simply very rarely attested elsewhere in the world. The interaction of these rare patterns of borrowing is also most unusual. Historical documentation and evidence from related languages enable us to see much of how this cluster of borrowing patterns, and the creation of this zone of intense linguistic contact, came about. Focus is on three creoles within the domain of the Dutch sphere of influence in the region: Saramaccan, Papiamentu, and Berbice Dutch, which are placed in a broader regional and global context.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the study is driven by the role of advertising as a genre of mass media discourse in the formation of collective and individual conceptual and linguistic pictures of the world, the conceptual system of the subject of interpretation of the world around him, human consciousness, structuring, formation and transformation of knowledge about the world, and interpretation of knowledge. The research material was modern English-language advertising messages on the English-language Internet. The analysis of the practical material has shown that although the analyzed advertising messages do not directly indicate the evaluation of a product or commodity, it is still implicitly traced: some advertising messages advertise high-quality, new products, while others contain an appeal. It is concluded that the linguistic interpretation of advertising messages is represented by three types: selective, classifying, and evaluative. When interpreting an advertising message, a person, as a representative of a certain society, chooses in his or her mind those units of knowledge about an object of the surrounding world that he or she possesses. In other words, selective conceptualization takes place, which means that the selective function of interpretation is realized. The classifying type of linguistic interpretation implies an appeal to certain emotions and feelings of the subject of interpretation, as well as the division of goods into categories (tasty, useful, high-quality, new), which is evident in advertising messages. It has been proven that the implicit evaluation of goods and services as objects of interpretation indicates the evaluative type of linguistic interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the volume of poetry by Roman Honet, alicja, by means of the method of analysis and interpretation of a literary text proposed by Jerzy Faryno. The division into primary content (direct, resulting from a linguistic utterance) and secondary content (resulting from a linguistic utterance indirectly) enables one to attempt to interpret uninterpretable, as it is considered in the literature on the subject, alicja. The structure of the volume itself, specific punctuation and grammar provide certain conditions concerning the image of poetic reality existing in the world presented by the lyrical I. What is more, the same motives appearing again and again, specific meta-oneirism, permanent palette of colours became a starting point for developing our proposal. This approach to the problem was also supported by thematic triplicity of poetic content visible in the poetry. The further part of the article presents intertextual references to the extratextual reality and real historical figures (related to the Second World War).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper presents a cross-linguistic typology of performatives, especially with respect to their relationship with tense and aspect, in the languages of the world. I explore the relationship between performatives and particular tenses and aspects, and touch on the mechanisms underlying such a relationship. The paper finds that there is not one relation between performatives and a particular tense and aspect and there are no languages which have a special (dedicated) performative tense or aspect marker. Instead, performatives are compatible with various tense and aspect markers, even though the use of a present tense seems to be the most common. What counts as the most optimal tense and aspect for performatives depends on the division of labor within the linguistic structure.

Full textAbstract:
Conceptions of fairness vary across the world. Identifying the drivers of this variation is key to understanding the selection pressures and mechanisms that lead to the evolution of fairness in humans. Individuals' varying fairness preferences are widely assumed to represent cultural norms. However, this assumption has not previously been tested. Fairness norms are defined as culturally transmitted equilibria at which bargainers have coordinated expectations from each other. Hence, if fairness norms exist at the level of the ethno-linguistic group, we should observe two patterns. First, cultural conformism should maintain behavioural homogeneity within an ethno-linguistic group. Second, bargainers' expectations should be coordinated such that proposals and responses to proposals should covary. Here we show that neither of these patterns is observed across 21 populations of the same ethno-linguistic group, the Pahari Korwa of central India. Our findings suggest that what constitutes a fair division of resources can vary on smaller scales than that of the ethno-linguistic group. Individuals' local environments may play a central role in determining conceptions of fairness.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of linguistic dominants of Ukraine’s media image modeling during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research is conducted within the framework of a new direction of linguistics – media linguistic imageology, that in both Ukrainian and world linguistics is just beginning to develop, which determines the relevance and scientific perspective of the work. The article highlights the connection of media linguistic imageology with such neolinguistic areas as media linguistics, PR-linguistics, psycholinguistics and suggestive linguistics. The basic principles of linguistic analysis of media image texts about Ukraine are determined, the expediency of their division into two groups is argued: 1) image texts in which information is presented in order to form a positive image of Ukraine (meliorative image texts), 2) media publications which de jure are not image texts but they are such de facto, for instance, media texts about events in political, economic, social, medical and other areas that in one way or another affect the formation of a negative state image (pejorative image texts). Thus, in particular, analyzing media publications about COVID-19, the author includes materials on the development of domestic tourism and the positive aspects of distance learning to the image texts of the meliorative type. The special role of the projects "Travel around Ukraine" and "Tourist Magnets of Ukraine" for repairing the national image in media is emphasized. In turn, the author notes that despite numerous problems in the field of education, its image in the Ukrainian media is generally constructed in a positive way. In the discourse of linguistic analysis, the main image-forming markers of meliorative image texts are the use of metaphorical language, epithets, lexemes with emotionally evaluative positive connotation, new phraseology with positive semantics etc. At the same time, the author emphasizes that the pejorative image texts caused by COVID-19 are media publications about problems in medical, economic, social etc. industries. To create an atmosphere of fear, hopelessness and panic in media publications of this type, journalists use amplifying modal particles and paraphrases with negative contextual semantics etc. The author summarizes that today's media image of Ukraine is quite contradictory. In the author's belief, in the difficult conditions of a pandemic a mediator should focus on axiological and ethical principles, information hygiene and respect for recipients.

Full textAbstract:
In the modern conditions of globalization, there are new requirements for university graduates. They should not only know a foreign language, but also a well-formed intercultural competence. The authors distinguish cultural interpretation as one of the ways of forming intercultural competence. Cultural interpretation helps to identify the national and cultural specifics of idioms, in which there is information about the world of a particular country, its lifestyle, and traditions. The internal form of idioms contains a set of cultured ideas about the world picture of a particular society. The idioms with the ornithonym component reflect the specific division of this sphere of reality. This language layer has not been sufficiently studied. The authors give the linguoculturological analysis of the Russian and English idioms with the components “swallow” and “peacock”. Culture codes and sources of cultural interpretation are analyzed from the cultural and linguistic points of view. The Russian and English idioms with the ornithonyms are compared. The authors conclude that the comparative analysis of idioms shows the difference in the linguistic world views and sheds light on the ethnic logic. The research findings can be used in teaching a foreign language to comprehend the culture of native speakers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article envisages a possible tripartite division of (types of) being, in correspondence, one the one hand, to Eugenio Coseriu’s linguistic contents (significatum, designatum, sense) and on the other hand to Charles Sanders Peirce’s ‘participants’ in the process of semiosis (sign, object and interpretant). Being as eidos/ essence, corresponding to idiomatic significata, is responsible for the constitution of stabilities and/ or iterations within the otherwise perpetual flux of cogitata/ phenomena. Being as actual existence or particular, intentional object corresponds to the linguistic designata as they are produced through and by speech in the very linguistic act(s). Finally, being as ecstasis (in the Heideggerian sense of this term) or as sense represents the individual speaker’s ‘stance’ in the world, at the same time ‘opening’ it to interpretation by the others. Also, if on the levels of significata and designata language is simply/ purely logos semantikos, on the level of sense the three possible intents of the speaker (apophantikos, poetikos, pragmatikos) can be put into correspondence to the old/ traditional naming and understanding of temporal ec-stases as past, present and future respectively.

What are we to do with english? Of all the major languages of the world, it causes the most anxiety. Its words seem to want to invade the citadels of other languages, forcing institutions such as the Académie Française to call for barricades against it; in the enclaves of Englishness, a Celtic fringe struggles to hold on to the remnants of the mother tongue; and in most parts of the world those without the ostensibly anointed language often see themselves as permanently locked out of the spring-wells of modernity. Sometimes the global linguistic map appears to be a simple division between those with English and those without it. In the reaches of the former British Empire, a swath of the globe stretching from Vancouver east to the Malay Peninsula, English has come to be seen as an advantage in the competitive world of global politics and trade; in the emerging powers of East Asia, most notably China and South Korea, the consumption of global English is evident in the huge sale of books on English as a second language; in parts of the world traditionally cut off from English, including eastern Europe, the mastery of the language marks the moment of arrival. Most linguistic research on English is carried out in institutions in the Germanic and Nordic zones of northern Europe. In popular books on language and in serious linguistic studies, a powerful myth of English as the global language has taken hold. We are presented not with a world at the end of history but with one in which English sits at the center of a new global community: “English-speaking people and their culture are more widespread in numbers and influence than any civilization the world has ever seen,” claims Robert McCrum (257).

Full textAbstract:
The present study focuses on the so-called ‘fallacy of combination and division’ or ‘synthetic-dieretic fallacy,’ as discussed by Aristotle in his treatises ‘Rhetoric’ and ‘On Sophistical Refutations.’ Despite significant scholarly interest in these manipulative maneuvers over the last two decades, there is no agreement regarding the notable discrepancies observed in the two works regarding defini- tions and the examples the philosopher employs to illustrate them. The thesis to be defended is that these are not two entirely different phenomena but rather two dis- tinct approaches applied by Aristotle to refute the paradoxes used in the Megarian school of philosophy to seemingly disprove the concept of the static (εἶναι) nature of being and ‘prove’ their idea of an eternally changing dynamic world (γίγνεσθαι). A new approach will be proposed towards the specific argumentative fallacies and linguistic means underlying the logic-linguistic phenomena described by Aristotle.

Full textAbstract:
The artice is devoted to the problem of preserving the Cantonese dialect (language) in modern China, where for several decades the government persistently pursued a policy of disseminating of the nation-wide Chinese language (“pǔtōnghuà”). Cantonese is the largest language by speakers among all Chinese languages and it is native to most residents of Guangdong and Hong Kong, however, unlike the languages of the national minorities of China, it is not fully protected by law and is consistently ousted from the education system and out of business communication. In the article the authors carefully analyze the linguistic history of China, the role of dialects in the system of Chinese languages and the historical and political significance of a single written norm. According to the authors, the division of China into two large cultural and historical communities (northern and southern) corresponds to the established linguistic division, but unlike many other countries in the world, the ethnolinguistic and ethnocultural differences between the northern and southern Chinese due to the centuries-old unifying efforts of the central government do not lead to the division of the Chinese nation. The article examines in detail the history of Cantonese, a linguistic analysis of the differences between Cantonese and Putonghua, and on this basis concludes that Cantonese should be considered not as a dialect of Chinese, but rather as a separate language of the Sino-Tibetan language group, albeit closely related to the Chinese language. Analyzing the role of Cantonese in the formation of a special cultural and historical community in Guangdong and Hong Kong, the authors conclude that the declining of the Cantonese dialect (language) will probably occur over the next several decades, unless the language and education policies of the Chinese government are changed. Otherwise this tendency will lead to the loss of the province's identity, which is part of the intangible cultural heritage of the entire Chinese nation.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to proper names of Lublin, in particular the names of streets, squares, and boulevards. The starting point for linguistic considerations are selected terminological issues in the field of contemporary onomastics and analytical works devoted to street names in Polish cities (including the achievements of Mieczysław Buczyński – a researcher of Lublin urbanonyms). The term “commemorative names” is broadly understood and defined as a set of names created intentionally by authorities to honor figures, events, social and political organizations and military formations significant to a given community. The analytical part discusses the classification of semantic categories of Lublin’s commemorative names. It is based on the division into three groups: (1) anthroponymous names (formed from the names and surnames of people distinguished for Lublin and the region, from people distinguished for Polish culture, from people distinguished for world culture), (2) names related to historical events and anniversaries, street names from military formations, social and political organizations/movements, (3) street names derived from military formations, social and political organizations/movements, groups, societies and associations. The study showed that the commemorative street names of Lublin fulfill the functions typical of urban names (identity, communication, social, cognitive). These names unify the local community, fulfill a propaganda function (reflect the system of values promoted by the city authorities), show naming trends in a given period, and fit into the concept of city development. Changes in the names of Lublin’s streets reflect nationwide socio-cultural changes.

Full textAbstract:
The study examines the role of discourse structure representation in real-time comprehension, with a focus on how main discourse and subordinate discourse information guides language processing. Using a web-based visual world eyetracking paradigm, we investigated pronoun resolution in two types of relative clauses: appositive relative clauses (ARCs) and restrictive relative clauses (RRCs). While ARCs were generally considered as secondary and side-commentary information, aligning with subordinate discourse, RRCs were usually construed as part of the main discourse. Making use of this distinction between ARCs and RRCs, the current study examined pronoun resolution with two possible antecedents. In one condition (RRC), the two antecedents were part of the same discourse whereas in the other (ARC), they were in distinct discourse units. We found stronger competition between the two possible antecedents in the former condition than the latter. Our findings can potentially be explained by an encoding interference, where linguistic entities encoded with similar discourse status information can lead to an interference effect.

Full textAbstract:
In 2007, the Modern Language Association (MLA) called for significant changes to world language programs due to a curricular bifurcation between basic language courses and upper-division content courses. Although significant inroads have been made in the last 14 years, the two-tiered curriculum structure still exists in many programs, and the urgency for curricular coherence has been heightened by a dwindling number of language majors coupled with institutional disinvestment in language departments. In practice, when language programs have not undergone a significant redesign, the general remedy for this divide is to include more authentic content in the target language in lower-level courses and to provide opportunities to continue to develop the full range of linguistic skills in upper-level content courses. In this proposal, I enter the conversation surrounding the curriculum divide in language programs and recommend a supplementary approach to previous solutions. I explore the advantages and disadvantages of expressive writing in advanced language courses and propose that including expressive writing assignments in world language content courses will help bridge the divide between lower-level and upper-level curricula. More specifically, I argue that expressive writing encourages students to continue to develop their voice from lower-level courses, to activate their background knowledge and facilitate reflection on course content, and to develop their linguistic skills in lower-stakes writing assignments. I also offer suggestions for adaptable, expressive assignment types for advanced language content courses.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to describe the complex linguistic and sociolinguistic situation of Alto Adige – Südtirol, officially named Autonomous Province of Bolzano – Bozen with a focus on the varieties of German spoken there as first language. The territory, which is officially trilingual as it hosts the Ladin minority in Val Gardena and Val Badia besides the Italian speakers, became part of Italy in 1919 as “spoils of war” after Austrian defeat in the First World War. The division of the ancient historical region of Tyrol meant a subsequent difficult period of forced Italianization, imposing Italian on German in names, toponyms and daily life. Only the determination of the local population and their affection to their language and culture has preserved – even if not always with peaceful means – the survival of the Austrian dialects and traditions and has led to the modern forms of safeguarding and cohabitation which make of this province of Northern Italy one of the strongest linguistic minorities in all Europe.

Full textAbstract:
<p>This paper tries to put forward an anthropo-linguistic approach to the promotion of Nigerian dress culture in corporate institutions. Linguistic anthropology is a twin discipline which is concerned with the study of human society. It examines culture in its totality – traditions, customs, languages, dress, artifacts and technology, together with human social behaviour and relationships. Dress culture belongs to the sub-division of anthropology called ethnology, which looks at cultures in their traditional forms, and in their adaptation to the changing conditions in the modern world. Dress culture is therefore seen in this paper as a system of communication that functions just like any language functions. For instance, the related subject of Semiotics – the science of signs and significations, i.e. the study of symbols and their communicative meanings – has made dress culture an interesting and intriguing mode of communication. Dress is symbolic, iconic and symptomatic, and it is open to diverse interpretations and meanings. Dress code in corporate institutions just like any symbolic language, speaks volume. The authors therefore explore dress culture in its ramification – ethnic / national ceremonial dress, occasional/ festival dress, corporate/professional dress, religious / ritual dress, political dress, etc., the interpretations of colours, and the role of dress culture in the promotion of national identity. It is suggested that Nigerian dress culture must be sensitive to people’s taste, convenience, style, sex, religious belief, and must consider climatic or weather conditions and modernity if it is to serve as a veritable communication tool.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Globalization in the early 21st century can be considered as the age of inequality that splits the world into the rich North and the poor South. From the perspective of language politics, only very few discussed the division across the globe, especially, between Eurasia and the “Rest of the world.” In Eurasia, indigenous languages and scripts are used in official capacity, while the same function is fulfilled almost exclusively by non-indigenous (post/colonial) European languages in the Rest of the world. In the countries where they are spoken, non-Eurasian languages have limited presence in the mass media, education, or in cyberspace. This linguistic imperialism par excellence is a long-lasting and pernicious legacy of European (western) colonialism. The aforementioned divide is strongly associated to the use of ethnolinguistic nationalism in state building across many areas of Eurasia, while this ideology is not employed for this purpose outside the region.

English and American Studies 1, no. 16 (2019): 40–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.15421/381904.
Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the semantics of lexical units of unrelated languages. Problems of studying the lexical level of related and unrelated languages are of particular interest, since the specificity of the national language systems is the most clearly reflected in the lexis. The study of common and different structural semantic features makes it possible to disclose the peculiarity of the native language and culture on the background of language contacts. The studied language systems belong to different types, and the comparison of languages of different types without regard to their genetic links is the greatest value for any research, since it contributes significantly to the correct understanding of the significance of the analyzed speech phenomena. The subject of the analysis is lexemes of socio-political meaning in the Ukrainian and English languages. The study of socio-political lexis is of considerable interest to linguistics, because it reflects one of the most important spheres of life of modern society – political. The study of such an active lexical category as socio-political lexis, contributes to the understanding of language phenomena, due to the evolution of the semantics of lexical units. Socio-political lexis is characterized by blurring of its boundaries, semantic dispersion and sphere of usage. In order to systematize the linguistic material, the lexical-semantic field of the studied lexical units was identified – “Political activity”, within which an anаlysis of the dynamic prosesses in the socio-political lexis was carried out in their correlation with the factors of a social nature. The peculiarity of the lexical-semantic field is that it is allocated on the basis of the logical division of the broad concept, but at the same time it is the actual linguistic division of the man’s representations of objective reality. The field approach to the organization of the vocabulary is one of the main principles of systematization of linguistic phenomena, through which the relationship, interdependence and hierarchy of linguistic units are revealed. This makes it possible to study not separate lexemes, but systems of lexical units and the reflection of their semantic links. Lexical-semantic fields are highly organized and intergrated conceptual spheres, elements of which are mutually delimiting one another, and their importance derives from the system as a whole. Each field analyzes the scope of experience, concrete or abstract; divided and classified in a unique way, reflecting a scale of values of society and a special vision of the world. As a result of the study of structural-semantic features of the lexical-semantic field “Political activity”, it became known that in English it is represented by larger number of lexical units. This advantage can be explained by the greater stability of the British political system in comparison with the Ukrainian. The presence in the lexical vocabulary of the English language of a greater number of borrowed lexical units with political meaning can be explained by the fact that Great Britain has more economic and political contacts with other countries of the world than Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
A New World Seen from the Edge: Snorri Sturluson and Images of Europe:In the beginning of the 13th century, the Icelander Snorri Sturluson wrote the Prose Edda. The prologue to this text describes how the linguistic, political and religious preconditions for Northern Europe were to be found in Asia. Snorri’s perspective was determined by his position in the Christian world, and his work articulates both Christianity’s universality and history’s teleological character. Like other learned people in Medieval Europe, Snorri was guided by his knowledge of the high cultures, Antiquity’s and Christianity’s, and these were decisive for the description he gives of the North. This essay shows how the Nordic countries, positioned on the periphery of the Christian world, through the assimilation of Trojan emigrants and pre-historical Nordic people, were in the Edda assigned a status equivalent to those of the high cultures. Through a cultural translatio, Snorri modified the prevailing centre-periphery division of the world and the view that the North was subordinate to the high cultures.

Full textAbstract:
The devastating 1947 Partition of Bengal caused significant harm to the social, cultural, and psychological fabric of Bengali society. This study examines how the Partition is portrayed in a few preselected Bangla short stories, focusing on themes of violence, displacement, identity, and loss. The research intends to examine how these stories portray the psychological and emotional suffering of the Partition through realism, symbolism, and stream of consciousness through a qualitative examination of linguistic strategies, including Rabindranath Tagore's The Home and the World, Tahmima Anam's The Bones of Grace, and Sunil Ganguly's The Refugee. The results imply that these stories contribute to a broader cultural understanding of the lingering consequences of the Partition in addition to capturing the psychological suffering of the individual and the community. This study concludes a significant difference by considering the value of Bangla short stories as a tool for understanding and attempting to preserve the memories of the Partition.

The purpose of the article is to introduce the concept of „conversion to Orthodoxy ” into the analysis of historical sociolinguistics for the characterization of a language situation caused by the redistribution of Ukrainian territories after the third division of Poland and during the Second World War. The objectives of the article are to reveal the meaning of the concept of „conversion to Orthodoxy” and to identify the linguistic markers of this phenomenon in contemporary religious and secular discourse. The author studies the content of the category „conversion to Orthodoxy” based on new sources that have not yet been put into circulation by sociolinguistics. Methods of analysis: case study, discourse analysis, sociolinguistic correlations, comparative and biographical method, which allowed applying socio-cultural linguistic approach to studying the database. The results related to the conversion to Orthodoxy obtained in the article prove the destruction of the national and religious identity of the Ukrainian territories in the 18th-20th centuries and illustrate intercultural communication under the scheme of integration with assimilation based on a geopolitical factor, violence and terror.

Continuing the series of papers on the history of personalized Ukrainian linguistics, we should mention that V.M. Hantsov made a considerable contribution into native linguistic research development. Due to his unfortunate fate, he created few works, nevertheless they are of great scientific importance. The scientist’s studies became an important stage in the development of Ukrainian dialectology, historic phonetics, lexicography as well as standard language normalization including its orthography. A great scientist’s sense of nationhood and his significant professional authority were acknowledged and properly appreciated by the world scientific community. V.Hantsov had tirelessly worked in the field of standard Ukrainian language normalization, in particular, he took an active part in Kharkiv orthographic committee’s activities. It was him, who wrote a chapter on invariable words orthography (1926) and the Academic Russian-Ukrainian dictionary. In the article, the authors presented an analysis of selected scientific works by V.M. Hantsov’s, a well-known Ukrainian scholar, dialectologist, language historian and lexicographer, who made great contribution into Ukrainian language normalization concerning its orthography, lexicological and word-formative processes. The authors analyzed this scientist’s study on the special features of Kozelets dialects in Chernihiv Region, which created an overall picture of North Ukrainian dialects and presented their division into three groups: the East one (Left Bank), the Central one and the West one. When working on the orthoepic peculiarities of North Ukrainian dialects, V.Hantsov paid special attention to diphthongs correcting his predecessors’ scientific research. The scholar made a theoretic description of diphthongs, ascertained their role in the system of North Ukrainian dialects as well as in the historic development in general. When the scientist made a research on the phonetic features of diphthongs, he proved the historical unity of Ukrainian dialects. The history of Ukrainian vocalism development was repeatedly chosen as the object of V.Hantsov’s scientific interests. Referring to consonantism, the scholar justly states that Proto-Slavonic reflex *dj underwent different transformations in Ukrainian and other languages. We should admit that during his short periods of freedom, V.M. Hantsov managed to present to the Ukrainian and world community an example of civil courage, dignity and decency as well as a scientific interpretation of certain general linguistic ideas, dialectological explanations, historic phonetic descriptions, lexicographic works. All of this is a great impulse to develop modern linguistic studies.

The article is devoted to the problem of actual division in the Azerbaijani and Japanese languages. It is suggested that specific studies of actual division in world languages can successfully use the methodology of systemic-structural and cognitive linguistics. Contrary to popular belief, the capabilities of these two paradigms complement each other. It is argued that the invariant of actual division is a structure independent of speech conditions. In speech, there is a variation in stress on the components that directly make up. The structure itself is of a casual nature and resembles a keyboard, the game on which is of a speech nature and depends on the communicative intentions of the speakers. In the Azerbaijani language, the structure of actual division is more rigid, in Japanese - freer. The prospect of speech development in the Azerbaijani language is covered by an invariant scheme, in Japanese it is less predictable, therefore, in Japanese linguistics considerable attention is paid to the topic, its composition and means of expression. In this case, the bump, as a rule, does not become the object of close attention.

In this world, among all the creatures, only humans have the gift of communicating through language. As people dominate others’ languages too dominate over other languages is considered as Language imperialism. This paper deals with the Language imperialism which refers to the process by which a dominant language, often imposed by a colonial power, replaces and sidelines native languages leading to linguistic and cultural hegemony. This phenomenon is characterized by the spread of a dominant language through various means, such as education, media, government, and economic systems, resulting in the suppression of native languages and cultural identities. Language imperialism has been a tool of colonialism and imperialism throughout history with European languages like English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese being imposed on colonized peoples, leading to language shift, language loss, and cultural erasure. In contemporary times, language imperialism continues to manifest through globalization, with English emerging as a global language, often at the expense of local languages and cultures. This has significant implications for linguistic diversity, cultural heritage, and social justice, highlighting the need for language rights, linguistic preservation, and cultural revitalization. The effects of linguistic imperialism are exploitation and monopolization of other languages and cultures creating language death, loss of identity and a superior-inferior division among people and languages. With the colonization of India by the British, English was given importance which has resulted in a language shift. English, along with Hindi, has become the state language of India. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to undo the extinction of a language and it is hard work to keep dying languages alive.

Abstract This article reasons that the Jaipur Literature Festival between 2008 and 2011 attempted to institute via polemics, judgment, and celebration the category of the Pakistani novel in India by importing an alterity industry. By failing to contextualize alterity in a South Asian context, the festival reinforced a national, linguistic, and religious division between India and Pakistan. It produced a category like “Moonlight’s Children” as an “other” to an imagined Indian literature that is confused with a post–Salman Rushdie postcolonial and global anglophone canon. However, this analysis of the discourse produced at the festival by the discussants and the audience shows that a coconstituted South Asian literary history was consistently placed against a regionally competitive model. Importing alterity to produce an Indian or Pakistani literary identity was undermined by an attitude of disavowal toward the literary object and received categories like the global anglophone, postcolonial literature, and world literature. The author argues that this is not postcolonial resistance; rather, it is a trepidation to arrive at a conclusion, because to conclude is also to value, evaluate, and declare the existence of the “other” phantasmagoric literary identity and history.

The Lotte Group is a diverse conglomerate empire in the South Korean business market, with businesses and investments in multiple sectors located in South Korea, other Asian countries, and the US. It is becoming a global market leader in the world economy; in fact, Forbes magazine ranked the Lotte Group’s retail division as the world’s number three department store in 2013. The focus is the proper name of this group, Lotte. The founding group’s president, Kyuck-Ho Shin, has stated that he wished to channel his admiration for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe by branding his merchandise, supermarket chain, and hotels with the name Lotte, the diminutive form of Charlotte, in a direct reference to The Sorrows of Young Werther. Consumers encounter the Lotte logo daily, and this feminized encounter pacifies any possible suspicion that a giant corporation may indeed be engulfing the Korean citizens’ physical and linguistic landscape. Drawing on communication studies and linguistic landscape studies, the focus is on the role of the proper name “Lotte” in South Korean advertising to uncover the multivalent, mythic power of German classical female archetypes in contemporary Korean circulation.

Full textAbstract:
Legal traditions of international institutions reflect how language shapes the interaction of individuals from various legal disciplines. Institutions like the European Union (EU), United Nations (UN) and World Trade Organization (WTO) cater to multilingualism by publishing different linguistic versions of their texts. These organizations have their own divisions to promote multilingualism – it is the General Assembly and Conference Management for the UN; the Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) in the EU; and the Language and Documentation Services Division (LDSD) for the WTO. In the context of the WTO, coordination among different language groups in drafting WTO documents appears to be lacking. In addition to creating hurdles in substantive law, issues of multilingualism at the WTO also affect the procedural aspects of the dispute. This may have implications on third-party rights, selection of panellists, and timely resolution of disputes, thereby influencing a party’s strategy in a dispute. Against this background, the authors explore the issue of multilingualism at the WTO vis-à-vis the UN and EU by adopting a comparative research methodology. The Article provides recommendations in the form of best practices for improvements at the WTO in the context of multilingualism.

Full textAbstract:
Comparative-historical study of languages makes it possible to represent the diachronic process of structuring the world and forming the corresponding concepts. The abovementioned process is inherently integral and reflected in such socio-cultural areas of human life as language, art, religion, farming, ethno-traditional customs, culture (in its broadest sense), etc. The proto-language reconstructed as a result of the comparative-historical study and the picture of its diachronic development provide some information about the genetic relations between the people speaking the corresponding related languages, about their original homeland and the directions of their historical migrations, about their knowledge, ideas and representations. This time we have analyzed the semantic field of the lexemes denoting the human body parts, which are reconstructed at the Proto-Kartvelian language and exist in the contemporary Kartvelian languages (Georgian, Megrelian, Laz, and Svan) and some dialects (notably, Gurian, Rachian, Xevsurian, and Kiziqian). Our goal is to reveal the semantic structure of the mentioned field, to analyze the respective concepts as well as to outline processes of the development and the establishment of corresponding tokens (resp. lexemes). Vocabulary denoting a human body (resp. Somatic lexemes), its parts and inner organs is a constituent part of the basic core vocabulary of a language and presumably ought to be fixed in the ancient times’ reflecting data. Analysis of the lexical units, which have been reconstructed either at the Common-Kartvelian or Georgian-Zan level on the basis of regular sound correspondences between the Kartvelian languages, allows us to highlight the main course of forming and developing the linguistic units we are concerned with; namely, the accumulation of “knowledge” had been carried out due to the process of differentiation and detailed elaboration of the human body anatomy and respectively, the corresponding semantic field, somatic vocabulary, had been underway to be enriched based on the relation of cognitively interpreted markedness. Language changes and development, formation of new categories and concepts, and consequently, creation of new linguistic units is mainly carried out as the result of detailed elaboration, further specification and partition of unmarked categories: an unmarked category undergoes the division-differentiation on the basis of formally marked oppositions that leads to the formation of new linguistic units and structures and reflects the dynamic picture of enhancement of linguistic cognition of the universe. Dialectic material enriches the semantic space even more and specifies and fills the meanings of lexemes to be studied.

Full textAbstract:
This article combines the progress of Western feminist art history with contemporary art cases at home and abroad, attempting to go beyond the popular identity politics perspective when discussing gender issues today, and explore the theoretical potential of feminism in the field of art in the post human context. The first part of the thesis focuses on the 1960s and 1970s in America when the feminism became present in art world. American feminist art exposed the myths in formalist theory in a singular view, driving the reflection on modernity. The second part focuses on the changes in feminist intervention in art in the context of French theory’s “travel” in English world during the postmodern period. With the linguistic shift of subjectivity theory, feminism has been incorporated into identity political discourse, reflecting on the meaning of discourse and text in art history while also exacerbating division and conflict beyond its original intention. The third part combines contemporary new materialism and post human thought to consider how feminism from a post human perspective can stimulate new potential for differentiation and coexistence.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The study provides an analysis of cyclical time in the advertising tourist narrative. Historically, two main models of time coexist in the cultural consciousness, i.e., cyclical time and linear time. In the linguistic picture of the world, cyclical and linear time are complementary. The connection of cyclical time with cyclical phenomena of nature, the relationship of an event and time are especially relevant for the advertising tourist narrative.
 Purpose. To determine the features of the functioning of cyclical time in the advertising tourist narrative.
 Materials and methods. The actual material for the study was the online texts of the advertising tourist narrative. The article used a set of such research methods as continuous sampling, material analysis, descriptive.
 Results. The results of the study showed that cyclic time is definite, it assumes an objective division of time segments and is directly related to events. It was revealed that the cyclic time in the texts of the advertising tourist narrative determines the development of events, and the event determines the perception of time. According to the results of analysis of practical material, the author identifies seasonal, daily and calendar types of time regulation in the advertising tourist narrative. The author comes to conclusion that the cyclicity of time structures the advertising tourist narrative as a compositionally designed communicative event.
 Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in the courses of lectures and seminars on general linguistics, lexicology and cognitive linguistics.

This article describes the morphological classification of languages in general linguistics, as well as the division of all languages in the world into 4 groups: isolation or amorphous languages, agglutinative, inflectional and polysynthetic languages, the views of linguists. Of these, Chinese, which is close to the amorphous category, is illustrated with examples.

Full textAbstract:
Section 1 is a general introduction to the theories discussed in the paper, primarily Sperber and Wilson's relevance theory, with its distinction between “implicature” and “explicature”, and Grice's theory of conversational principles and implicature. Section 2 discusses specific types of implicatures that must be approached in a different manner that the implicatures most commonly discussed in the literature. It is argued that some of these implicatures are hard to explain in the context of relevance theory. To this group of implicatures belong those arising from communicating information by repeating information already known to the listener, and from communicating information and humor by ironic understatement. Section 3 examines the division between explicatures and implicatures. Specifically, the definition of this division is dependent on Sperber and Wilson's assumptions about the division between a person's mental lexicon and his encyclopedic knowledge of the world. However, it is shown that the latter division is both philosophically and practically troublesome. Section 4 asks whether it is even possible to define the division between lexical and general knowledge. The conclusion of the present paper is that it is not.

Full textAbstract:
Soviet textbooks of foreign languages, in particular English, very accurately reflect those tendencies which affected the evolution of the approach to teaching and its goals, from exchanging information to unidirectional (“addresseeless”) communication that was thematically limited by the realities of a closed society. The material of textbooks changed from original works slightly colored ideologically in the late-1920s towards texts that were completely removed from the realities of countries of the studied languages in the 1930s — 80s. The practice based on “word-for-word translation” methodology resulted in (a) entire lexical spheres having no equivalents in the English-speaking world (e. g. The Moscow News lexicon), (b) incorrect designations of borrowed notions (“currency exchange office” instead of Foreign Exchange), and (c) “reification,” creating notions based on reinterpreted borrowings. All this is fundamentally different from borrowing words together with respective notions under natural conditions (e. g. in émigré communities). Later on, the method of direct borrowing began to be used in Russia and as a result, a significant layer of neologisms was formed in the vocabulary of the modern Russian language. A large portion of the neologisms had equivalents (some of them previously borrowed) and this resulted in a new synonymy with further ousting of one of the synonyms (e. g. tendencija → trend, specialist → ekspert, etc.), or a division of meanings, includ- ing even the formation of words in their own right (messač’< message), etc. An alternative to this tendency can be a conscious attitude to language processes (native speakers’ control of borrowings), which in turn, depend on competence in both contacting languages and, in the last analysis, the organization of education in the country.
