Abstract:
<em>The article highlights the functional abilities of non-verbal marks of communication when they are verbalized, especially the processes of the semantic and pragmatic formation of phraseological units with the component “fig”. The “fig” is considered to be the offensive gesture, though according to folk customs the fig was chosen to be the amulet to protect from the evil spirit, witchcraft and illnesses. The verbalization of the communicative gesture with the component “fig” in the phraseological speech represents the meanings, which are on the assessing scale from the most positive up to t

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of correlation between the concepts ‘meaning’ and ‘sense’, peculiarities of their formation and their role in the process of developing integral functional space of discourse. The objective of the article is to determine how certain linguistic means create meanings, which factors contribute to their transformation into sense, what exactly provides representation and further interpretation of sense.Considering the essence of meaning, the author analyzes its types, specifies the extent of interaction and interdependence between them, determines the factors

Abstract:
Objective of the research is to determine wide contextual potential of linguistic units containing a verbalized non-verbal component. Object of the research is a non-verbal discourse of the modern Ukrainian oral speech; subject of the research is represented by lexical, word-forming, and semantic innovations representing live speech of the modern Ukrainians. Materials of the study include occasional and individual-author’s nominative units recorded in academic dictionaries and dictionaries of lexical as well as lexical and word-forming innovations of the 21st century.

Abstract:
The article considers derived substantives in terms of ethnolinguistics, they serve as designations of the Russian house “cloth” decoration elements. The purpose of the work is to identify and describe lexical and word–formation semantics, typical word-formation models, as well as the internal form specifics of outdated household names. The study has found that the use of various nominative techniques, and above all, morphological methods of word formation, indicates that the objects of naming are involved in the sphere of social and everyday relations, their names reflect familiar to the Russ

Abstract:
A specific type of intensification in the domain of love/desire/adoration is conveyed in Hebrew through the use of the idiomatic construction [X PRD al Y] [‘X die/crazy/ill/devastated on Y’] which deviates from the basic patterns of the grammar at both the morphosyntactic and the semantic levels. The present paper examines both the process of emergence and the accessibility of the construction: it explains how pragmatic needs drive a metonymy-based metaphorical mapping between dissociative conceptual domains, and how the mechanisms of negativity bias and embodiment are involved in this mapping

Abstract:
Changes by elision—as well as those due to processes of adfunctionalization or refunctionalization—must be taken into account as explanatory mechanisms of linguistic change. In this paper, we study the role of elision in the theoretical overview of explanatory theories of language change by focusing on the evolutionary process of the Spanish adverb aparte. We analyze the consequences of the elision of an initial construction for the development of new functions as an exceptive or additive adverb, and as an additive connector with a specific meaning, conditioned by the evolution of the entire c

Abstract:
Abstract This study traces the relationship between two erstwhile separate linguistic elements, just and so, within the framework of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). In keeping with FDG’s form-oriented function-to-form approach, the study proceeds semasiologically by, first, examining the uses of relatively independent forms (i.e. the focus particle just modifying so as a degree word and a manner proform), then turning to more tightly-knit structures (i.e. just so as a subordinator of purpose and condition), and finally, looking at the fixed expression just so used as a part of a pragmatic

The article analyzes the multifunctional nature of questions in modern English. In particular, it offers a semantic and pragmatic examination of verifying and identifying questions. An attempt is made to investigate the additional meanings expressed by verifying and identifying questions and their application in communicative processes where these questions can express various indirect speech acts such as request, offer, invitation, advice, etc.

Abstract:
Negation is a fundamental component of human reasoning and language. Yet, current neurocognitive models, conceived to account for the cortical representation of meanings (e.g., writing), hardly accommodate the representation of negated meanings (not writing). One main hypothesis, known as the two-step model, proposes that, for negated meanings, the corresponding positive representation is first fully activated and then modified to reflect negation. Recast in neurobiological terms, this model predicts that, in the initial stage of semantic processing, the neural representation of a stimulus' me

Abstract:
This paper explores the evolution of two names for animals, buey ‘ox’ and cabrón ‘mail goat’, that have undergone a set of important semantic and pragmatic changes since the XIXth Century. The change from offensive to warm and friendly addressing forms involved a series of semantic bleaching processes, mostly attested along the XXth Century, that generated two independent, and yet, parallel networks of meanings. The loss of negative features led to the emergence of vocative, anaphoric and discourse marking functions where the original offensive part of both words has become almost imperceivabl

Abstract:
North America shows great genealogical diversity, yet many of the languages share a fundamental typological characteristic: elaborate morphology. Certain kinds of elaboration show areal distributions, suggesting contact effects. Many bound morphemes show the kinds of meanings expected of grammatical affixes, such as the Wintu perfective suffix -suk. But others show surprisingly concrete meanings, like the Kutenai suffix ‑quwaʔt ‘fur’. A well-known effect of grammaticalization is the loss of concrete lexical content, with abstraction and generalization over time. But other factors can come into
