Abstract:
This article focuses on the peculiarities of emotional and expressive aspects of the regional media vocabulary (Ulyanovsk region newsportals). The authors analyzed publications from the leading sites of Ulyanovsk newsportals – ulpravda.ru, ulgrad.ru, ultoday73.ru, and ulpressa.ru from July 2020 to January 2021. The authors examined the regional broadcasting language, characteristics of printed media and lexical connotation of provincial publications. To study the emotional and expressive peculiarities of the regional newspapers, we analyzed about 100 pages of various newspaper articles (180,000 printed characters with spaces). The conducted content analysis revealed five basic types of vocabulary with emotional and expressive coloring. The results of the analysis showed the dominance of metaphors, epithets, phraseological units, personification, and allusion. According to quantitative estimation, the most widely-used group of vocabulary with emotional and expressive connotation are epithets (250 lexical units). It proves that epithets still remain the leading linguistic tool to express emotions. Within the group of metaphors most lexical units were connected to the forthcoming New Year. Phraseological unit are also widely-spread in regional news portals, as they underline brightness and expressiveness of the language and contribute to its expressiveness. Personification and allusion are used less often. The most examples of allusion refer the readers to the Bible.

Abstract:
Attending to allusions to Exodus 15 within Micah 7 provides insight into the metaphorical language of Mic 7:18-20. The human enemy of the Exodus is reinterpreted in the exilic context of Micah; the people’s own sins—the cause for their oppression—must be subdued by God, i.e. forgiven, and cast into the depths of the sea (7:19) so they may be freed from the consequences. This unusual metaphor for sin corresponds with a metaphor for redemption unparalleled in the Hebrew Bible: divine forgiveness is conceptualized as the physical domination and removal of an enemy, i.e. sin. Utilizing the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (cmt) of G. Lakoff and M. Johnson, this article will analyze such metaphors in light of Exodus themes.

Abstract:
Biblical noematic, that is, the science of the meanings of the Holy Scriptures, and heuristics, the science of finding these meanings, were central to the exegesis of Hrygorii Skovoroda. Under the influence of the teachings of the fathers of the Alexandrian school, they changed their methodological principles, transformed to a certain extent and moved towards a comprehensive allegory of the Holy Scriptures in the author's system of its interpretation. The true meaning of the Word of God lies under the tinsel of the material shell of the word, which Skovoroda calls figures, signs, symbols. Using images and symbols, Skovoroda explained the invisible nature, that is, the existence of God, Truth. To decipher the meaning of the figures means to discover the truth hidden in the Holy Scriptures. Trying to find the truth in the Holy Scriptures, Skovoroda superimposes his own already transformed allegorical constructions on biblical allegories, that is, he talks about allegories in terms of allegories, thereby not simplifying but complicating their meaning. For example, the image of a snake coiling in a ring and having a sharp look is a metaphorical personification of self-knowledge, self-view of the world. So, the image of a snake coiled in a ring symbolizes the general meaning of human life. It is difficult to understand, the philosopher notes, where the beginning and where is the end of a snake coiled in a ring, if you do not notice its head. It is equally difficult to understand eternity – it is everywhere and nowhere, because it is invisible and covers its hypostasis. Skovoroda regards the coils and rings of the snake as symbols of eternity, and therefore also symbols of the Bible itself. That is why the writer calls the Bible a snake and God at the same time.

Abstract:
The article systematises the metaphors ascribed by Origen (185-253/254) to the well-known female characters of the Old Testament utilising the method of allegorical exegesis of the text of Scripture. Females appearing on the pages of the historical books of Bible are – according to the Alexandrian – allegories of hu­man virtues or defects. They embody the spiritual warfare between the spirit and the body, between the mind and the feelings. In the collective sense they symbo­lize the synagogue or the church chosen from the Gentiles, and in the individual sense – the human soul in its relation to God. Origen refers to the telling names of women, translating them and embedding into the spiritual context often giving the several different allegorical meanings to the same biblical person. Despite the often-quoted in his writings beliefs characteristic to the ancient world, procla­iming that the woman is a symbol of bodily feelings and the man – a symbol of the intellectual abilities, majority of allegorical interpretations relating to the Old Testament women indicates a personification of the virtues worthy of imitation. This phenomenon is conditioned with the meaning of the names of those persons and the role attributed to them by the biblical authors, but Origen’s interpretations are original and based on his own concept of spiritual life. They deny opinions of misogyny of Origen and the early Christian writers in general.

Abstract:
In literary, cultural and historical study of mythology, Johann Gottfried Herder is often portrayed as the bridge between the Enlightenment and the Romantic age. Myths for Herder were not only material for poetry, but the essential content of religion. Herder&rsquo;s new understanding of myth and religion did not, however, signify a rejection of the Enlightenment principle of rationality. On the contrary, this understanding expanded and transformed his understanding of rationality. Herder regarded man&rsquo;s mythopoetic activity as a genuine and natural form of man&rsquo;s cognitive appropriation of the world. The personification of natural forces in the cultural creation of gods did not denote a return to irrationalism, but an extended form of rationality. According to Herder, the Bible had to be read as a human mythopoetic creation. The Old Testament, which depicts the special relation of God to His people, was in Herder&rsquo;s <em>Vom Geist der ebr&auml;ischen Poesie</em> (1782&ndash;1783) the result of a poetic worldview characteristic of nomadic societies. Herder did question the validity of the Old Testament as a true source of religion and its usefulness even for modern man. Mythology did not have to be rejected as untrue imagination. Old Testament monotheism could be related to Spinoza&rsquo;s pantheism and the Law of Moses could be seen as a precursor of the modern constitutional tradition.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the conception of friendship based on the results of comparative structural-semantic analysis of English and Russian proverbs about friendship. The study includes two complementary steps. The first step consists in formulating the main aspects of the conception of friendship. The second consists in comparing fragments of this proverbial field, which made it possible to explore the implementation of eight aspects of the conception of friendship on the material studied. The clarification of similarities and differences made it possible to identify the specific national and cultural characters of thinking and mentality of the two non-related peoples towards understanding of friendship. The relevance of the study is determined by the novelty of the proposed approach to the study of the conception of friendship based on the comparative structural and semantic analysis of proverbs of two linguistic-cultural ethnic groups, as well as the insufficient knowledge of proverbs expressing the concept of “friendship” from the point of view of identifying their figurative and motivational basis, figurative means (metaphor, metonymy, comparison, personification, gradation, hyperbole, irony, allegory, antithesis), semantics of lexical components, syntactic structures (repetitions, parallelism, ellipsis, compression), expressive means, as well as rhythmic organization. There were selected and systematized similar and unique meanings of English and Russian proverbs as a result of research on the material of these languages. The analysis of these meanings allowed us to explore conception of friendship, thereby providing the basis for deeper rethinking both the conception and the proverbial material. As the part of the study there were observed differences in understanding of a person, personal relationships with others, mutual help, etc. These differences are largely due to the different origins of English and Russian proverbs. Most of the English proverbs are short sayings, which were formed under the influence of Latin expressions and quotations from Bible. Most of the Russian proverbs are peasant by origin and therefore they are closely connected with a specific and imaginative perception of the world. Their expressiveness is much higher at the expense of using the means of oral folk creativity. This analysis made it possible to reveal the role of linguistic means in expressing the mentality of the representatives of both peoples.

Abstract:
In the early modern period, the representation of the continents by means of allegorical figures enjoyed great popularity. The book Bodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents, edited by Maryanne Cline Horowitz and Louise Arizzoli, is very stimulating, richly documented and fundamental with regard to the detailed source-critical examination of concrete individual visualisations of the continents. The focus of the book rather lies with the 16th century, while part 5 focuses on the 18th century. In the 18th century, continent allegories entered into the public sphere and reached broader strata in the society. In this century, Eurocentrism progressed considerably, but did not invent it. The volume’s co-authors pose the question of Eurocentrism as well as that of racism with regard to the late Middle Ages and the 16th century. Because of their widespread use, continent allegories can be counted among the most important primary sources from which we can draw conclusions about how extra-European cultures could be represented, interpreted and viewed from a European perspective. They represent much more than just an art-historical source, they are, especially when one thinks of their accessibility in public spaces for everyone, actually a historical source of the first rank, behind which not least travelogues and theoretical concepts such as the history of civilisation as a universal history compete with the Christian history of salvation in the Bible.

Abstract:
This research is supposed to find the types of personification and to know which personification types are dominant in Call Us What We Carry poems by Amanda Gorman. The previous research has emphasized the types, meanings, and functions of personification contained in literary work. The qualitative research method was used in this research. The data of this research were lines and stanzas which personification form is contained within the poem. This research used the types of personification theory by Breen (2021) to analyze the types of personification in the poem. The results of this research showed 3 types of personification which contained 51 data of personification types in total. The Platonic personification type which applied an action, picture, and the role of human knowledge into an inanimate object includes a total of 46 data was the most dominant of the three forms of personification since its characteristics most frequently occur in the lines and stanzas of Call Us What We Carry poems. Then, it is followed by the Prudentian personification type that has religious and deification aspects in their characters with a total of 3 data; it is uncommon to discover lines and stanzas in the Call Us What We Carry poems by Amanda Gorman that fulfill the features of Prudentian personification. The last position was occupied by the Aristotelian personification type which has a mundane and ironic characteristic. This personification type contained the least quantity of 2 data due to the rarity of lines and stanzas.

Abstract:
There are several approaches to brand image measurement. The main aim of this thesis is to understand which of the two most common approaches, namely the personification and the direct approach, should be preferred. The personification approach adopts the brand = person metaphor (if the brand came to life as a person would s/he be trustworthy?), while the direct approach simply asks 'Do you think this brand is trustworthy?'. The main method used is to compare their explanations of typical outcomes (dependent variables) in a series of online surveys. Two different dimensions of brand image (warmth and competence) are considered for different types of brand (product, employer and corporate). The thesis uses the 'journal ready format' where a series of related papers form the main part of the work. This thesis adopts a quantitative approach and presents the results from four empirical studies. To compare the two approaches to brand image measurement, Study I (Journal Article I) compared two types of brands (product and corporate) and the two types of brand image measurement approach. In Study II and Study III (Journal Article II), the context was shifted to employer branding, when comparing the two approaches. The analysis of the first and the second studies showed no consistent pattern and no systematic advantage for the personified approach. Indeed the two types of measure appeared quite similar in many respects. When trying to explain the results, task difficulty emerged as a possible explanation and was investigated via Study III and Study IV (Journal Article III). Task difficulty was not lower for the personified approach as expected. While there is a rich body of brand image literature using either personification or direct measurement approaches, there is no research comparing them in the same context/setting to understand any differences between these approaches. Two main conclusions emerged from this research to contribute to the market research literature. This research shows that there is no systematic statistical benefit from adopting the personification approach. Task difficulty varied with age and education, but not as expected from the literature, a finding that might be considered in all survey research, not just that involving brand image.

Abstract:
Poco se sabe de la psicología de los traductores y de cómo los rasgos de personalidad pueden influir en los procesos cognitivos del traductor. Esta investigación pretende determinar si las interacciones (verbales i/o imaginarias) de los traductores se establecen con el texto de partida en tanto a objeto lingüístico o como persona, y hasta qué punto el grado de la personificación imaginaria del texto depende de la personalidad del traductor. Se informa sobre un estudio think-aloud en el cual 16 traductores profesionales contestaron a la encuesta de personalidad NEO-FFI y luego tradujeron un texto del inglés al farsi. Se calculan las correlaciones entre la personificación y una amplia gama de variables: género, edad, años de experiencia profesional, presencia de información sobre el autor, tiempo para realizar la traducción, problemas identificados y estrategias de gestión de riesgo. El análisis cualitativo de las verbalizaciones de los traductores indica las posibles causas de las correlaciones cuantitativas. Se detecta una correlación negativa significativa entre la personificación y la personalidad concienzuda, en el caso de los hombres, pero no de las mujeres. De manera inesperada, cuantos más años de experiencia tiene el traductor, tanto menos se detecta la personificación y la apertura a las experiencias nuevas.

Full text
Abstract:
Modern scholarship on the Metamorphoses has frequently focused on the shifting character of the poem mainly produced by the constant variation in tone and diverse subject matter. Particular emphasis has fallen on the multiple stylistic features Ovid uses to appeal to a learned audience. This thesis focuses on and explores the use of personification ekphraseis which are illustrative examples of the poet's innovative technique, wit and style. Four major personified figures, Inuidia, Fames, Somnus and Fama play significant roles and figure prominently in the books where they appear. The study is divided into four main chapters where the four extended personification ekphraseis are individually treated. Each setting that Ovid creates for the figures bears its own corresponding reality. So their presence in the different episodes becomes both natural and amusing. Ovid displays a certain structural progression in the use of personification beginning with theriomorphic representations (Inuidia, Fames) and ending with more abstract descriptions (Somnus, Fama). The discussion also focuses on the various ways Ovid uses personification and offers close readings of thematic links and literary echoes. This study re-examines the aesthetics and narrative significance of the personification ekphraseis. It argues that, although connected to the rhetorical technique of enargeia and thus closely attached to the simple poetic intent of enlivening the style, the personifications have broader thematic implications which make them precious in the study of Ovid's ingenium. The initial question of how Ovid incorporates the four personifications in the narrative of each myth is developed into a broader investigation of their relevance in the world of the poem. The discussion leads to the conclusion that Inuidia, Fames, Somnus and Fama as poetic devices are both representative samples of stylistic ornamentation that enable the visual perception of what Ovid is describing and markers of generic boundaries between elegy and epic; the indiscriminate blending of epic and un-epic terminology creates a strong connection with the poet's aims stated in the opening lines of the Metamorphoses. In this sense, the four personification ekphraseis figure as reflections both of the poet and the poem.

Tow, Michael. "The Personification and Masculation of Samuel Henry Dalton." OpenSIUC, 2014. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/1487.

Full text
Abstract:
American historiography no longer discusses the over eighteen thousand African-American sailors of the Union Navy as property, percentages, or political conundrums, as previous scholarship had. Advancements in social history made by historians David Valuska and Joseph Reidy in the 1990s led to the realization that these were men with incredible stories. This realization led to the discovery of Samuel Henry Dalton as well as many truths about the society that shaped him and the one in which he achieved manhood. Isaac Noble immigrated to Jefferson County, Mississippi, in 1804 to begin his ascension into the planter elite that would help shape the economy and social structure of Mississippi for many generations. While in the Natchez District of southwest Mississippi, Noble experienced three boom-and-bust cycles of cotton capitalism, with the period from 1811 to 1817 being the most profitable in Mississippi history. Noble also experienced immense anxiety as Jefferson County's enslaved population of near sixty-nine percent spawned paranoia of a biracial insurrection orchestrated by white transients thought to be of a lax moral character. This paranoia and resultant vigilanteism motivated Isaac Noble to move his family to an abolitionist settlement in Jersey County, Illinois, in 1836. In 1849, Aaron, the youngest of Isaac Noble's children, purchased over twenty-one hundred acres in Bolivar County, Mississippi, and named it the Egypt Place. By the mid-1850s, Aaron was living on the Egypt Place and cotton was selling for only a third of the price it brought during the days that Isaac Noble was in southwest Mississippi. The sheer volume of the harvests in Bolivar County and the rest of the Choctaw Session, however, still yielded profits and inclined planters to bring more land into cultivation and more slaves to work the land. It was during this last phase of expansion that Samuel Dalton was brought to the Egypt Place as the United States became more politically and socially embroiled over slavery. The eruption of the Civil War in 1861 put immense pressure on the planter elite to ensure the endurance of the social structure they had so tirelessly built. As the war got ever closer to Mississippi, that pressure pressed ever harder on Vicksburg, the long-defiant fortress keeping the Mississippi River in Confederate hands. The Confederacy could not survive if Vicksburg surrendered, which it did in July 1863. The fall of Vicksburg presented a windfall of opportunity for Dalton and the more than three hundred thousand other enslaved of Mississippi as the planter elite scrambled to save what wealth and property they could carry off as the Union Army quickly approached. Life would never again be the same for the planter elite nor the enslaved. With the overseer having fled and there no longer being any means to enforce the oppression that was the social structure of western Mississippi, Samuel Dalton chose a very active path to freedom by fleeing the Egypt Place and enlisting in the Union Navy the day after Vicksburg's fall. For fifteen months, from July 1863 through October 1864, Dalton served aboard two gunboats of the Mississippi Squadron. His time aboard the USS Juliet was very dull, while his service aboard the USS Hastings was extremely dangerous given the latter ship's involvement in the ill-advised and ill-executed Red River Campaign into central Louisiana. The twice promoted and twice shackled Dalton survived the expedition and was honorably discharged at Cairo, Illinois. After discharge, Samuel Dalton remained in southern Illinois in defiance of the rarely enforced Black Laws of 1853, which made African-American residency in the state punishable by fine or imprisonment. It was in southern Illinois, a region ironically called Egypt, that Dalton achieved the manhood so desired by the freedmen, as explained by historian Donald Schaffer. In the fifty years Dalton lived in Carbondale and Murphysboro, he became a property owner, husband, father, active member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and lived peacefully in an integrated neighborhood with the respect of his white neighbors before his death on 7 June 1920.

When we encounter statistics too far removed from our personal experience, we sometimes find it difficult to imagine the real implications of that data. While we might understand the information logically, it can be hard to relate it to our immediate personal lives. In this thesis, I investigate a novel visual representation for such data, which I call Personification of Information. This alternative form of data visualization incorporates real people within the viewer's immediate physical or social environment as part of the representation. The goal of this visualization technique is to bring information that is otherwise perceived as distant and detached closer to the viewer. This design strategy is explored in three artistic projects, "What If the World were your n Facebook friends?", "Unification-A Case Study?" And "What Was the Media Lab Thinking About In The Year _ _ _ ?" They are complemented by two projects from other areas that investigate Personification as a design strategy to bring the abstract closer to the individual: "Omnivisu" uses Personification as an interface to architecture; "Giving Character to Characters" applies the strategy to augment digital typography with human expression. Additionally I formalize the findings of these projects as a set of generalized design parameters for Personification of Information.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis seeks to re-evaluate the role of personification in Romantic-period poetics by examining how women writers used the device to address a reductive alignment of the female with the natural. Women poets employ personification to tell different narratives about human and non-human interrelationship. Personifications that feminise nature appear prolifically throughout Romantic poetry. Women writers take up the technique and its tropes in order to critique the cultural equation of women with nature and offer alternative presentations that recognise greater complexity both in their own experience and in the non-human environment. Traditional ideas of a feminised, other “Nature” come under reconsideration. Each chapter focuses on how women poets re-appraised and appropriated feminine personifications of nature in the context of aesthetic, scientific, philosophical and political discourses. I examine how six writers, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith, Anna Seward, Ann Batten Cristall, Helen Maria Williams and Anna Letitia Barbauld, tackle the gendered dynamics and cultural assumptions surrounding personification in each of these differing discourses. I investigate how they personify nature in innovative ways to present a richer understanding of their relationship to nature.

Abstract:
After summarizing the arguments of previous chapters, the author compares the representation of ritual violence in the three types of literature that have been considered, focusing on both continuities and differences. Each literary type is characterized by diversity with respect to violent ritual acts, and each includes representations of violent rites with physical and/or psychological dimensions. Yet there are differences. Although the aim of historical prose is to represent the past and oracular, oneiric and visionary texts tend to have a present-future orientation, prescriptive texts most often speak in general, hypothetical terms. And while personification plays no role in ritual violence in legal texts and narrative, it is central to visionary, oneiric, and oracular texts, whose function often includes a predictive element, in contrast to both prescriptive and prose texts. The author ends with a consideration of what the study of ritual violence contributes to our understanding of both violence and ritual.
