in this paper the functioning of deictic expressions in political texts has been investigated. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in addition to the well-known classifications of deixis proposed by a number of scientists, the authors identify conflicting deictic expressions that are frequently used in messages concerning armed clashes, any contradictions, opposition speeches and other conflicts. In the context of our study we analyzed information publicly available on the official websites of the political and diplomatic departments of Russia and Georgia.

the article focuses on English borrowings in the modern educational discourse of the Russian language. The changes that have occurred in the methodological and terminological apparatus in the educational field in recent decades are not only due to the necessity of new nominations and the lack of equivalent notions in the Russian language but mostly they are the result of the scientific and educational paradigm change, a high degree of scientific activity of participants in the educational process, a large-scale introduction of on-line technology and digitalization of educational processes. The article discusses the causes of dynamic changes and presents the analysis of English borrowings in the terminology of the modern Russian educational discourse.

the article is dedicated to identifying the distinctive characteristics of zoonyms in the Russian song genre, with a particular focus on ornithonyms. The aim of the study is to analyze the nominative meaning of birds in Russian folk songs and to uncover their role in shaping the linguistic worldview that reflects the national and cultural specifics of the Russian people. To select the units for study based on a comprehensive sampling, we employed a lexicographic method. In analyzing various zoonyms used in songs and couplets, we applied a comparative method. The work examines different aspects of the ornithonyms, including their symbolism, associations, and functions in a folkloric context. Special attention is given to how zoonymic vocabulary helps convey the emotional state of the song's characters and enriches their imagery. The author concludes that zoonyms play a key role in forming the linguistic worldview in Russian folk songs. Birds not only enrich the textual structures of the works but also serve as important symbols reflecting the national and cultural characteristics and emotional states of the characters. The practical application of the research results is seen in the development of courses on folklore and the Russian language, as well as in the use of the obtained data in lexicography and linguoculturology. As a result, the study emphasizes the importance of zoonymic vocabulary as a means of expressing cultural identity and perception of nature in Russian folklore.

the aim of this article is proving the necessity of teaching the students of foreign languages departments of Universities to do a linguistic analysis of the text. First it’s important to study the works of Soviet scientist I.R. Galperin. To do a linguistic analysis of the text he had a broader view on the grammar of a language and define the following grammatical categories of the text: information, coherence, cohesion, continuum, autosemanty of the parts of the text, retrospection and prospection, modality, integration and completion. V.I. Bortnikov had come to the conclusion that the linguistic analysis of the text had two ways: on various language levels (phonemic, morphemic, word level and so on) and by analyzing the categories of the text. By doing various types of the linguistic analysis of the text the students will develop a so-called “linguistic flair" for nonstandard expression of thoughts and ideas. It will lead to deep immersion into the structure of the text as a unit of a written variant of the speech and, as a resuilt, teaching Lingustics on a higher level.

this work is dedicated to exploring the themes of fate and predisposition as they are presented in the character of the protagonist in M.Yu. Lermontov’s outstanding work "A Hero of Our Time." The study emphasizes how Lermontov portrays fate as a complex interplay of choice and external circumstances, thereby revealing the internal conflicts that shape Pechorin. The aim of the research is to analyze the artistic techniques employed by Lermontov to represent the philosophical foundations of predetermined fate in the context of 19th-century Russian literature. By comparing Lermontov's ideas with those of earlier periods, such as Sophocles and Victor Hugo, the work positions "A Hero of Our Time" within a broader literary context, highlighting how historical and cultural factors influence the interpretation of the hero's fate. The practical significance of the research lies in enhancing the understanding of human behavior within the framework of historical and social norms. By understanding Pechorin's struggle with fate and his existential dilemmas, educators and researchers can foster discussions about the complex issues of human nature and personal responsibility in the study of literature.

the aim of the study is to reveal the nature of the literary and artistic explication of the concept of “war” in the play “The Absence of War” (1993) written by the modern British playwright D. Hare. The article examines the approaches of the researchers to the interpretation of the term “concept”, which is an interdisciplinary, multidimensional phenomenon that includes notions, associations, images and semantic meanings in the cognitive, cultural and philosophical spheres. The analysis shows that D. Hare refers to the concept of “war” to reveal the main conflict of the play – the crisis of the British Labour Party. The scientific novelty of the study is related to the lack of the researches on the proposed material. The Russian researchers had not previously conducted a detailed analysis of the explication of the concept of “war” in play “The Absence of War” by D. Hare, the attention was mainly paid to other plays by the playwright, in which he focused on issues of the world politics rather than the domestic policy of the United Kingdom. The article examines the broad meaning of the concept of “war”, in which the play’s author not only combines, but also reveals the distinction between military reality and political confrontation both in the UK and within the Labour Party. The article presents a complex approach to the analysis of the concept of “war” explication in the dramatic text, combining the cognitive and literary theories. The study also reveals the main ways of the political realias representation in the works of D. Hare, as it contributes to understanding of the characteristic features and ideological orientation of the political drama and related genres. The results of the study show that the concept of “war” in the dramatic text helps the author to reveal the country’s domestic policy problems in peacetime, the tragic situation of the main character, who is the embodiment of the “old-school” Labour leader, and the party crisis in the UK.

linguostilistics is the doctrine of speech styles determined by conditions, situation, goals of communication and differing linguistic means used in them or the degree of their use. The tasks of linguistic stylistics are to clarify the specifics of each of the styles, distinguish them, establish the conditions for functioning and interaction between them. In the article, the authors considered the issue of linguistic stylistic analysis of legal texts in English used in foreign language classes in educational organizations of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Issues of linguistic stylistics in the modern world are relevant, since the linguistic style plays an important role in the communication process. It is a collection of language tools that ensure that the message is adapted to the specific context and specifics of the audience. Among the main reasons for the relevance of linguostilistic research, one can single out the expansion of the terminological space, formation of new functional styles, study of genres. The authors considered the concept of "linguostilistics," presented the main directions in this area. The purpose of our article is to identify the linguostilistic features of legal texts in English, to determine the presence of borrowings, international words, phraseologisms, to identify typical syntactic constructions. The authors present in the article detailed lexical, syntactic, morphological means inherent in legal texts in English.

today the most important function of media discourse is to produce the manipulative impact on public consciousness. The issues of linguistic manipulation occupy a significant part in linguistic studies. However, the use of stylistic means as a subject of research for the implementation of various techniques and methods of linguistic manipulation in media discourse, in our opinion, is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to identify the stylistic features of media texts of English-language media sources, their role in the formation of a pragmatic impact on the recipient of information. A solid set of examples, accompanied by a detailed analysis of the relative manipulative impact gives additional significance to the material. The results obtained in the work expand the possibilities of using the potential of stylistic means to implement manipulative techniques of persuasion and manipulation of mass consciousness in general. The results of the study can be theoretically and practically significant in the field of media linguistics, journalism, political linguistics, and political science.

the purpose of this study is to analyze the extent to which the Spanish translation reflects all the stylistic characteristics found in the original Russian Silver Age poems, in order to identify the most relevant features and difficulties encountered by translators of this language pair. The research conducted allows to conclude that there are three main factors that have a decisive influence on the success that poetic recreation can achieve in terms of translation theory. Firstly, there is the need for interdisciplinary research by translators of both text and its surrounding elements. Secondly, the strophic structure of the poem and its vertical and horizontal contexts is to be considered. Thirdly, the characteristic phenomenon of euphony in Russian poems is to be taking into account. In addition to the effort to find a middle ground between these factors, one must consider the fact that handling analytic and syntactic languages exponentially complicates the solution reported challenge. The practical significance of a comparative study of the translation of works by Russian Symbolists, Acmeists, and Futurists is to create a useful resource that will make it possible to understand the shortcomings found in certain works and motivate future Russian-to-Spanish translators to produce translations accurate to the original.

the article attempts to consider and analyze imperative constructions in a literary text, namely in L. Gunel’s novel “God Always Travels Incognito.” An imperative is one of the forms of speech influence that influences the behavior of communication participants and causes a response. The main imperative constructions, means and methods of expressing incentive statements in the context of the speech behavior of the main character of a literary text are analyzed. General and some particular imperative meanings are considered, such as the imperative of the future tense, the imperative of movement, the prohibitive, and the main semantic groups that characterize the main character of the novel as a linguistic personality are considered. In the speech of the protagonist, sentences with an incentive modality predominate, since he takes an authoritarian position in relation to the addressee. It is concluded that imperative constructions have an influencing character and are a special type of speech act.

this article defines the model of institutional discourse and its characteristics. It presents approaches to interpreting legal discourse and describes the recipients and senders as its direct participants. Special attention is given to the differential features of legal texts, which are influenced by the polysemy of semantics, as well as extralinguistic factors that play a significant role in the perception of legal documents. The terminological sign is considered a fundamental conceptual unit of the legal semiosphere within the framework of legal discourse. The dominant elements of legal discourse are identified – namely, texts of legal documents – and their language, which includes the language of legislation and subordinate legal acts, the language of legal science and education, etc. Legal discourse represents a complex and multifaceted phenomenon in which linguistic means play a key role in shaping legal reality. The study of legal discourse is a relevant and promising direction in contemporary linguistics, allowing for the identification of not only the main regularities of its functioning but also an understanding of how language influences legal processes and social relations as a whole.

this paper delves into the analysis of the materials from Russian and Palestinian blogs and applies a content analysis method. The study is aimed at analyzing the differences in commentary registers within blog communication, as well as identifying the differences and similarities in informal communicative tools used by Russian and Palestinian bloggers when addressing their audience. The analysis revealed that in both cases, in Palestinian and Russian blogs slang and informal conversational speech styles are used during interactions with subscribers, which are characteristic of friendly communication. Additionally, both cases involve the use of specific vocabulary and the personal pronoun you as a form of address to a large audience. However, some differences were found in the types of greetings and personal pronouns used by Palestinian bloggers depending on the content of their statements. Furthermore, while analyzing blogs from Palestine and Russia, we noted that Russian blogs feature active use of emojis and profanity, whereas Palestinian blogs predominantly include religious expressions without any profanity.

the writer's thesaurus reflects the individual-author and national-cultural specificity of deep cognitive structures. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the diversity of approaches to theoretical understanding of the thesaurus, to analyze the specificity of the formation of the writer's thesaurus of Boris Vasiliev. The thesaurus of Boris Vasiliev is a complex space of the thesaurus of morality, spiritual and cultural values, historical memory, due to which the practical application of the conducted research is actualized. The leading method in the study of the thesaurus of fiction texts of Boris Vasiliev was the thesaurus method, which made it possible to identify the value-semantic space of the fiction texts of B.L. Vasiliev. Research objectives: 1. To consider various approaches to the study of thesaurus. 2. To present a complex theoretical space of the thesaurus. 3. To identify the specificity of the writer's thesaurus of Boris Vasiliev. The writer's thesaurus is explicated in the process of communication between the author and the reader, as a result of which the goals and motivation of the author's intentions are revealed, the linguistic and figurative means are determined - a tool used by the author under the influence of the subjective base of cultural, historical and cognitive factors. The thesaurus is clearly presented in the text, since it represents the lexical, stylistic and semantic space of the work generated by the author and outlines the dynamic zone of use of lexemes functioning in the contextual space of the writer's works.
