Yu. Ya. Godis The Generic Structure of Self-Help Book Blurbs
Abstract. The present research investigates the generic (rhetorical, move) structure of blurb sections in motivational self-help books. The structure is represented by four rhetorical moves (identified on the basis of semantic and functional criteria), namely book description, book promotion, information about the author and website/blog. Each of these moves is realized by means of certain rhetorical steps (rhetorical strategies that realize a particular communicative intention at the level of a move) and has its own communicative goal. The goals of four moves constitute the communicative purpose of self-help blurbs, namely to persuade the potential addressee to read/buy the book. The frequency of book description (100%) and book promotion (86%) moves is noticeable. Accordingly, two distinctive features of blurbs as a paratextual element and as an individual genre are information and persuasion. Although book description is the most frequent rhetorical move in the generic structure of self-help blurbs, these texts can undoubtedly be called evaluative and persuasive ones as evaluative language is vital even to the description of the book (which is mainly the summary of the book content).
Keywords: motivational self-help genre, blurb, generic structure, rhetorical moves, rhetorical steps.

L. A. Harutyunyan Research of events’ evaluation criteria
Abstract. The present paper addresses the basic evaluation tools applied by the journalist to highlight economic events. The category of evaluation is considered to be one of the most important factors of any economic event. Among the existing approaches to the theory of evaluation, the pragmatic aspect is considered to be the most interesting one, as it is related to the factor of the influence on the addressee. Evaluation directly impacts on the formation of the society’s evaluation and stereotype system. Through evaluation the addresser explicitly or implicitly presents an object, phenomenon, or an event. When highlighting an economic event, the journalist uses a wide array of techniques and tools, such as evaluative lexical units, metaphor, citations, which, in this case, perform evaluative, expressive and argumentative functions. Via these tools, the addresser tries to predetermine or change the reader’s attitude and disposition to the current economic changes.
Keywords: evaluation, economic events, evaluative lexical units, metaphor, citations.

Abstract. The analysis of Novovolynsk surnames of mixed origin has discovered an extensive system of word stems that indicaties the nature and long process of their formation. Such anthroponomies are very heterogeneous as they represent different semantic and thematic layers of common lexis, describe language speakers according to their psychology and behavior. Names that convey negative assessment are more common than names that describe positive characteristics. The dominance of negative evaluation vocabulary is obviously related with the emphasis on speaking deviation from the norm, where the norm is mostly positive evaluation.

O. Yu. Roshchupkin Narrative pattern: a construction-based approach to frame semantics
Abstract. The article elaborates on the idea that it is possible to arrive at schematic representations of conventionalized discourse units, which arise through use and due to certain genre expectations. Such identifiable recurring patterns are posited to be real construction-like entities, predicated conceptually upon the existence of image schemata and coding basic event patterns, which are subsequently inherited by frames. The article tests and expounds this idea on the example of two early 19th century Gothic stories, which leads to the identification of a discrete narrative schema, based on the use of spatial language.
Keywords: construction grammar, frame semantics, discourse analysis, image schemata, spatial language.
