L. A. Apolonova Non-verbal means of optimizing the perlocutive influence of directive speech acts

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-01 

Abstract. The article considers the peculiarities of the use of nonverbal means in order to optimize the perlocutionary effect of directive speech acts. There are four types of implementation of nonverbal means of optimizing directives: prosodic, kinesic, proxemic and taxaic. Acoustic nonverbal components that are most important for intensifying the perlocutionary effect of directives include tempo, tone and volume of speech. Kinesis, as a means of perlocutionary influence, covers such common movements as gestures, eye contact and facial expressions. Proxemics regulates the distance between the addressee and the addressee of the motivation, and their spatial location. The nonverbal components of takesika mitigate the directive speech act 

Keywords: perlocution, directive speech act, perlocutionary influence, means of optimization.

M. I. Boichuk Shortenings: clipping, acronyms and blending as productive ways of forming religious lexis in the English language

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-03 

Abstract. Religious lexis represents spiritual and mental values of human beings through expressing their worldviews. This study aims to determine the productive ways of forming religious lexis in the English language. Some of such ways of creating new words are clippings, acronyms and blending. The authors begin to study the general overview of the main features and characteristics of shortening processes. Special attention is paid to clipping, acronyms and blending and the productivity of these linguistic phenomena for the religious vocabulary. Based on a structural analysis of  a  comprehensive English dictionary a variety of the example of acronyms, blended words and clipped words have been presented and distinguished the difference between back formation and clipping. The results indicate that the religious vocabulary is not lacking these processes, but further research is needed to identify other ways of word-formation processes for the religious sphere. 

Keywords: shortening, clipping, acronyms, blending.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-04 

Adstract. Based on the experience of organizing theater festivals in French (foreign language) for secondary schools’ students, the authors of the article prove the effectiveness of theatrical practices in teaching French as a foreign language. Teaching a foreign language considers the theater as one of the pedagogical tools that performs linguistic tasks. Thus, the educational challenge is to exploit the function of theater, which is to bring out the artistic potential of the student while making him acquire skills in a foreign language and culture.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-05 

Abstract. The article examines headlines of online media from the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Australia and India, published in January, 2021, in order to reconstruct models of the ‘pandemic reality’ shaped by these titles in their audiences. The analysis reveals that each of the media builds a peculiar model, which is achieved by focusing on specific aspects of the pandemic, such as its global or national scope, by linking medical and political issues, and by drawing on certain metaphors. 

 

Keywords: headline, pandemic, metaphor, model of reality, conceptualization.

O. M. Goncharenko Romantic and erotic aspect of Ukrainian folk songs about a Cossack lover

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-06

Abstract. The  article  deals  with  the  peculiarities  of  the  romantic-erotic  image  of  a  Cossack-lover  in  Ukrainian  song  folklore.  Its origin is due to prehistoric times, the conditions of the military way of life, the traditions of the Zaporozhian Sich. It is noted that all the elements of the song are subject to the manifestation of the feelings of lovers, especially glorifies the soul of the Cossack, who is capable of deep experiences, emotional manifestations of his inner essence. The love for the girl brought only misfortune into the life of the Cossack, because it deprived him of the opportunity to faithfully fulfill his sacred duty – to protect his native land. His position is divided: on the one hand, he seeks to enjoy love, and on the other – he is overwhelmed by an unbearable desire to fight to feel the short-lived will, glory. Cossack lyric songs convincingly testified that the erotic image of a Cossack warrior contains the rudiments of a sun deity, an otherworldly serpent and a sacred ancestor symbol, as well as romantic aspects of the image: the extraordinary sensuality of the Cossack, his supernatural abilities, the spirit of invincibility forces of nature. 

Keywords: lyrical songs, plot, image, Cossack-warrior, lover.

A. M. Gvantseladze Semantics of similarity within the functional-semantic field of comparativity in the Turkish language

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-08 

Abstract. The article is focused on the study of constructions that express similarity within the functional-semantic field of comparativi- ty in the Turkish language. The research is carried out on the material of the works of fiction of Turkish writers of the 20th century. The functional-semantic field approach to the studying of the organization of the language remains to be in the focus of the scholars. The functional-semantic field is considered as a large complex that unites various elements of the language, different from one another by formal representation and semantic nuances of meaning. However, this large amount of linguistic elements is brought together due to common function and common content. Having the common semantics for all its constituents, the functional-semantic field yet is not a homogeneous unity and traditionally decomposes into several zones that have opposite meanings. Very often such polar zones are recognized as similarity (or in other terminology equality) and as difference (in other terminology inequality) according to the result of the act of comparison. As a part of the functional-semantic field of comparativity similarity is studied on the formal grounds, taking into consideration the way of representation of the elements of the comparative construction, on the other hand similarity is examined on the base of meaning, that helps to identify semantic peculiarities of similarity’s expression and points out semantic zones that the  micro-field of similarity may contain. The semantics of similarity in the Turkish language is represented by a fairly diverse number of linguistic tools at all levels from morphology to lexis and syntax. From the point of view of the formal organization of the comparative constructions with the meaning of similarity, such constructions in the Turkish language may be complete or incomplete depending on the number of explicitly expressed constituents of comparative  construction.  According  to  the  way  of  representation of  each particular  element of the comparative construction of similarity, such constructions can be of discrete realization if all the constituents are represented as a separate word item, and non-discrete realization in case of representation of any constituent of comparative construction by word-formative elements.  Apart  from  the  formal  representation  similarity  is  also  studied  from  the  way  of  semantic  nuances  realized.  These  nuances reflex the nature of the relationship between the subject and the object of comparison in a more detailed way. Thus, similarity in the Turkish language can convey a fairly wide range of shades from the designation of identity, the equality of the subject and the object of comparison, to their conventional similarity on the basis of figurative and associative connection. Thus, similarity in the Turkish lan- guage may be hardly a homogeneous zone. Paying attention to the standard of comparison and its’ correlation with the object that is compared, it may be noticed that the standard of comparison can convey a real fact or reflect an imaginary situation, which is hypothetical possible only in the mind of the sender of the message. Thus, the similarity can be real or unreal. Also, it is necessary to take into account whether both object that is compared and the standard of comparison belong to the same class denotation, the coincidence of qualitative and quantitative indicators of object and standard, their addressing to the same referent or to the different one, figurativeness, etc. Therefore, in semantic terms similarity in the Turkish language is observed to be revealed through the demonstration of imaginary similarity, equality, which represents equality itself, identity, and relative equality, resemblance.

K. Hlukhovtseva, I. Hlukhovtseva Phraseology of I. Ya. Franko's drama „Stolen Happiness”

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-09 

The article reveals the stylistic functions of stable word combinations in I.Ya. Franko’s drama „Stolen Happiness”. The authors argue that proverbs, sayings, comparisons, in fact, phraseology in the drama of Ivan Franko are not only a means of typifying the speech of the protagonists, but also a way of individual understanding of reality; antinomy, one of the ways to unfold the plot; demonstration of mental features of the ethnos. Verbal and noun phraseology contribute to the dynamic development of events, skillful reproduction of the actions of the protagonists, their characteristics, imagery of expression. The center of the playwright’s phraseicon is the unit of somatic and moral cultural code. Many of the phrases are commonly used, but expressions that are variants of codified stable combinations of words and locally used inversions become important in the fabric of the work. 

Keywords: phraseological unit, paremia, drama, phrasemicon, somatisms, idiostyle.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-10 

Abstract. In the offered article the art-aesthetic analysis of neomythological (polytheistic and monotheistic) motives of lyrics by M. Bratsylo is performed. Reinterpreted ancient and biblical images (Cain, Chronos, Cassandra, Heba, Icarus, Helios, Philomela, Procna, Judas, etc.) and related plots are analyzed. The phenomena of «plot formation» (according to Y. Meletynskyy), multidimensionality, repetition, cyclicity, which have contributed to the transformation of the original myth and the author’s mythologizing, are characterized. The «core», «body» of the motive and «motive field» are defined (according to A. Tymchenko). 

Keywords: motive, neomythologism, Bratsylo, transformation, author’s mythologizing.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-11 

Abstract. Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk revealed the essence and style of his author’s version of the postmodern urban text in the novel The Black Book (1994. The writer actively utilizes intertextuality, the interweaving of discourses, introduction of hero doubles.  Ukrainian  postmodernist  Yuriy  Vynnychuk  uses  similar  techniques  in phantasmagoria  novel  Malva  Landa  (1993).  Despite some differences, both works have indisputable common features such as the interpretation of the concept of urban space as  “foreign”, reference to historical facts,  cultural context, etc. The authors supplemented the images of real historical Istanbul and Lviv with entropic topos of garbage, madhouse, etc, and turned the topoi into chimeric ones.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-14 

Abstract. The article examines the concept of „Umwelt und Klimawandel“ based on the words of the year and statements defined by the Association for the German Language (GfdS) and text passages in the German mass media by eco-activist Greta Thunberg. The conceptual features and conceptual metaphors of statements that form the figurative and value components of the studied concept have been singled out. Conceptual, figurative and value components are revealed by neologisms (spritdurstig, Aschewolke etc.) and phraseological innovations (Generation Sandsack, Fridays for Future etc.). Analysis of the statements of eco-activist Greta Thunberg shows evidence of her personal role in the formation and in the value benchmarks of the concept of „Umwelt und Klimawandel“. 

 

Keywords: eco-activist, concept of „Umwelt und Klimawandel“, conceptual features, word of the year, social movement.

M. Nechyporenko Lexicographical methods in clarification of distinctions between the terms of intertextuality and their hierarchy

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-15 

Abstract. Drawing on the methods offered by lexicography, the article clarifies distinctions between the terms that constitute the semantic field of intertextuality. The methods of research allowed for defining the major characteristics and the scope of the terms “allusion”, “quotation” and “reminiscence”. The results show that the method of lexicographical analysis as well as the method of comparative and contrastive dictionary analysis can be effectively employed to solve problems that arise as a result of discrepancies in the use of philological notions and terms both by domestic and foreign scholars.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-16 

Abstract. The article explores ethnic slurs used in Modern English that denote Arabs. The research reveals significant simplification of this category: in the naïve language picture of the world, “Arabs” are conceptualised  both as an ethnic and a racial group. The analysis of ethnophobic terms uncovers a variety of sources to coin new lexemes to refer to Arabs that include words formed with English morphemes as well as borrowings from Arabic. The imagery of the sample provides with the evidence that English speakers are familiar with Arab culture primarily through mass media exposure. 

Keywords: ethnic slur, language picture of the world, conceptualisation, categorisation, culture.

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-17 

Abstract. The article studies the pragmatic characteristics of the discourse of police interrogation that come from the main goals of the interrogation discourse. The research focuses on the indirect speech acts in their correlations with conversational implicatures. Indirectness is typical for manipulative strategies of an investigator if confronted with sabotage or false data from interrogees. Indirect “face-threatening” acts are applied combined with lexical and grammatical means of mitigation to disguise impact and pressure on the interrogated person.

Abstract. The author analyzes linguistic peculiarities of modeling the image of Ukraine in modern media in the period of Covid-19. In the context of linguistic imageology, attention is paid to the need to construct successful linguistic strategies and their  correct  implementation  in  the  media  space.  In  this  research  discourse,  the  author  explores meliorative and  pejorative image texts about Ukraine, which are provided at the linguistic level by different linguistic means and have different imageforming effect – positive or negative. Thus, it is concluded that the current image of Ukraine in media space is quite contradictory, which is due, among other things, to the influence of Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract. The article analyzes the structural and semantic features of substantive phraseological units of the Korean language. The article  carries  out  the  structural-semantic analysis  of  substantive  phraseological  units  of  the  Korean  language  and  ponders  on  the influence of the form of a substantive phraseological unit on its semantics. The author offers a classification of substantive FUs of the Korean language, according to the types of their formation, and at the same time considers the structure of substantive phraseology. Comparing different structural types of FUs and their semantics, the author came to the conclusion that the semantics of FUs in the Korean language is significantly influenced by the actual structure of phraseology.

O. Soboleva Evolution of communicative approach in FFL teaching

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-23 

Abstract. Since the 1970s the paradigm of foreign language teaching has considerably changed from a teacher-centered approach to a learner-centered one. Explaining learning strategies to students first of all means making them autonomous, teaching them to  get away themselves in order that they can continue to progress outside of university. Learning strategies are all actions which influence the learning process, and which can be modified, implemented by an individual to improve it. They are therefore extremely varied and group together very different actions.

G. Spotar-Ayar, I. Yanytska Features of lingual simulation of compliment reaction in modern Turkish language

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2021-248IX73-24 

Abstract. Since the reaction to a compliment is reflected in the ethnocultural or sociolinguistic coverage of this concept, we consider it necessary to simplify scientific research that would help fill certain lingual gaps. Thus, the purpose of this scientific research is to identify, detail and study the pragmatic features of the main types of linguistic modeling of reactions to Turkish compliments, which will be implemented in the process of empirical and theoretical research. The obtained results allow to state the fact that the spectrum of response to the linguistic phenomenon of compliment is quite multifaceted, the proposed modeling of linguistic reactions expands the understanding and understanding not only of speech response to compliment, but also of its communicative role in general. The compliment response is not limited to simply accepting or denying the statement, but can vary between a neutral and a combined response,  making  it  difficult  to  understand  and  study  the  question.  This  topic  has  the  prospect  of  research  and  improvement  of theoretical and practical knowledge.

Abstract. The given article focuses on the application of modern innovative technologies in foreign languages teaching. The authors provide  the  advantages and  disadvantages of computerized  learning  of  foreign  languages,  traditional  tools  of  educational  control activities,  new  multimedia  tools and  programs.  This  article  highlights  the general problems of distance learning  implementation: technical  and  methodological. Also, the  authors  identified  some  specific  modern  innovative  technologies  in  teaching  foreign  languages problems. The authors investigate the issue of determining the effectiveness of distance learning in the framework of university disciplines “Foreign languages” in the light of the modern educational standard. The authors of the given article prove that the main problem in learning foreign languages through distance learning is the lack of direct contact with the teacher, associated in most cases not only with technical difficulties, but also with methodological ones (effective organization of group and individual work with students, competent and effective presentation of information material and check its assimilation). The authors propose a tool for the formation of an individual educational direction of a student in the light of personal educational goals.
