the article examines the artistic distinctiveness of reality in Viktor Pelevin’s novel Chapaev and Void, which merges postmodernist strategies of “play” and deconstruction with a profound Buddhist concept of emptiness. The author highlights the motifs of dual worlds, parallel realities, and the illusory nature of all forms of being. The analysis focuses on characters caught in a “liminal” state between two eras (1919 and the 1990s) as well as the symbolic ending that points to absolute freedom (“Inner Mongolia”). It is concluded that the novel offers one of the most original portrayals of artistic reality in contemporary Russian prose, blending postmodern elements with a Zen-Buddhist perspective on existence.

the article examines spatial nominations in English-speaking linguoculture; their core meanings and phraseological combinations are determined. The paper describes and analyzes the lexico-semantic variants of spatial representations of the British ethnic group at the present time. The concept of Land is considered as the main lexical component element, which can be characterized by any language level. Therefore, the token in this case will be characterized by his name. The article presents the information content of the Land concept, which is characterized by a diverse reality with maximum significance for the life and activities of English society; the lexeme is positioned as the dominant name, as it combines in a variety of forms, acts as a core for the formation of various semantic forms. An assessment of the reasons for the formation of these lexico-semantic variants of spatial representations in different periods of the development of English-speaking linguoculture is given.

the article discusses the analysis of stable combinations in the dialects spoken by the Kamchadal people. The Kamchadal constitute a subethnic group within the Kamchatka region, represented by the Kamchatkan dialect on the linguistic map of the peninsula. Currently, various studies are underway to explore these late-settled dialects. However, to date, there has been no research on phraseological units. Dialectical phraseology reflects the culture, history, and unique characteristics of a region. This highlights the significance of the research being conducted. The aim of the study is to analyze Kamchatka dialects phraseology from a classification and lexical-semantic perspective. The main research methods include continuous sampling of linguistic data, descriptive-analytical methods, lexicography, classification, cognitive interpretative analysis, and its specific techniques such as etymologization and ethno-linguistic commentary on dialect expressions. The material for this study was obtained from a card index of Kamchatkan dialects, field notes, and audio recordings collected during expeditions to remote regions of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The paper identifies the main thematic categories of phraseological expressions, describes their semantics, and interprets numerous phraseological units with regard to their figurative content, cognitive orientation, and ethno-cultural specificity. The systematization of this phraseological heritage will help preserve and transmit to future generations the characteristics of dialectical phraseology that might otherwise be lost. The developed methods of analysis and methodology for describing phraseological materials can be applied to the analysis of fixed combinations within the systems of dialects in other regions. The materials of the article are of practical value for linguists, ethnologists, ethnographers, and cultural scientists.

the article is devoted to studying linguistic representation of quantitative parameters related to scientific approaches, described in abstracts of scientific articles from transport engineering field. The purpose of the research is to reveal quantitative parameters of scientific investigations, described by attributive word combinations, consisting of compound adjectives with the «multi-» component and the noun «approach», as well as determination of compound adjectives lists, representing characteristics of every identified parameter. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that language explication of the quantitative parameters of research by means of attributive word combinations, consisting of compound adjectives with the «multi-» component and the noun «approach» is considered for the first time. This study revealed 25 compound adjectives with the «multi-» component, which are included in attributive word combinations with the noun «approach», these adjectives have been distributed into groups, representing different quantitative parameters of investigations, additionally the most frequent models of studied word combinations have been described. As a result of an analysis of semantic features of attributive word combinations with the key lexeme-representatives the following quantitative parameters of investigations represented by studied word combination have been identified: the approach studying numerous aspects; the approach having numerous targets; the approach containing numerous steps; the approach encompassing numerous levels; the approach based on numerous disciplines; the approach based on numerous methods; the approach based on numerous criteria; the approach studying different scenarios; the approach studying numerous objects; the approach studying numerous materials/substances; the approach involving complex testing. The obtained research results related to discursive features of abstracts can be applied to improving university educational programs and development of course books, intended for teaching written scientific communication, including creation of scientific articles and abstracts.

the research of the biblical tradition in the historical and cultural context realizes great importance. An appropriate understanding of the Old Testament social realities is a very important aspect to the research biblical texts because linguistic data includes a source of knowledge about the social structure of native speakers. The article examines the peculiarities of the translation into English of the lexis characterizing the social realities of Ancient Israel XI – VI BC in the biblical books Samuel and Kings. The purpose of the research is to analyze the reflection features of words and expressions describing this group of socionyms. The research shows the specifics of the translation, identifies the characteristic features of the lexis denoting the tribal structure of society, and concludes that strategies are used to translate it in the English texts of the Old Testament. The author believes that the translation of these socionyms is dominated by the techniques calque and partially equivalent lexemes. There are rarely examples of using descriptive and approximate translation. Synonyms are often found among partial equivalents. Difficulties in clearly defining the meaning can be caused by the phenomenon of polysemy. This research can be useful for anyone interested in the problem of reconstructing the historical and cultural world of the Bible and ways to translate its lexis denoting historical realities into English.

this study is devoted to the multimedia longread as a journalistic work based on a long text and rich visuals. The purpose of the work is to analyze longreads in terms of genre and compositional features. The topical issue is addressed: what exactly should be understood by the term "longread", and most importantly, to which category should such material be attributed - to the format or to the genre. The key aspect is that the structure of the material reflects its format, and the content indicates the genre. In the course of studying the issue, such methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison, and content study were used. The study showed that a longread can be attributed to both a format and a genre, depending on the point of view. Five main types of longreads are identified, which are distinguished by Russian scientists in the field of journalism. Based on the research data, ten of the most striking projects published by leading Russian media (TASS, Kommersant, Lenta.ru) are analyzed. The materials reviewed show that one longread can belong to several types at once: for example, to a portrait and an analytical type, or to a report, but with elements of reconstruction. At the end of the article, recommendations are given on creating high-quality longreads: when choosing a topic, pay attention to the long-term relevance of the material so that it is interesting to refer to it even years after publication, deeply study the research topic, relying on relevant sources, and also pay attention to the design so that the material is visually attractive and holds the audience's attention.

the article is devoted to analysing the role of news headlines as a tool for constructing public opinion in the digital media environment. Based on content analysis of state and independent media (2020-2023) and framing theory, key linguistic strategies including emotional activation, metaphorisation and selective prioritisation are identified. Particular attention is paid to the influence of legal regulations on media discourse framing. The results demonstrate that headlines perform a triple function – informational, perception manipulation and ideological, increasing audience polarisation.

the article discusses linguosemiotic and linguocultural ways of lexicographing agriculture in a new type of dictionary based on a combination of foreign language interpretation, translation into another language (the target user's language), linguistic description and ethnospecific information characterizing the corresponding linguoculture. The paper offers a dictionary description of agriculture in a lexico-semantic way and consideration of its elements in a single symbolic field; describes a multi-stage analysis of agricultural lexemes, which includes a description of its structure and its constituent elements (semantic, figurative and evaluative spheres), the creation of a hierarchical taxonomy of cognitive features. Linguistic and cultural material can be included in a dictionary entry in the format of a commentary in alphabetical order or ordered not alphabetically, but by meaning, using the ideographic method. The paper considers the lexeme land as one of the main mental entities of English linguistics.

so far the most well-known translations of the poem «Requiem» by Anna Akhmatova have been published in Spain, both in the second half of the twentieth century and at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Among the most relevant we find those corresponding to 1967 (Aquilino Duque), 1969 (V?ctor Andresco), 1984 (Jos? Ra?l Arango), 1994 (Jes?s Garc?a Gabald?n), moreover, this poem has a musical version made by ?ngel del Castillo, a Spanish composer. However, the translations published in Latin America of this poem have been very scarce, if not null. There is only one translation of this poem by a Latin American translator. However, for the present research, versions published in Latin America have been used, but not necessarily by Latin American authors. The objective of this research is to analyze the quantity and quality of information contained in the original text that the reader receives in Spanish in each version. On the other hand, starting from the premise that there is a loss in the transmission of the intrinsic poetic message due to the formal and conceptual differentials between the Russian language and Spanish, it plays a very important role to study the extent to which this fact gains relevance. The analysis consists of a linguistic-morphosyntactic, semantic, lexical point of view, and another culturological and semiotic point of view. The practical value of this article lies in the fact that there is no precedent for a comparative linguistic-stylistic study of a Russian poem based on the work published by two translators in Latin America.

the article discusses the emergence of Turkic-Lezgian language contacts. An explanation of common terms related to language contacts is given, as well as various points of view of researchers. A large number of Turkisms have penetrated into the Lezgian language. This was due to the territorial proximity to Azerbaijani villages, as well as the phenomena of otkhodnichestvo that took place in the pre-October period. Due to a number of extralinguistic factors, linguistic ties between Lezgins and Turkic-speaking peoples were widespread, and the facts of territorial interaction, the so-called internal factors, are obvious here. These lexical elements were used mainly when describing everyday life, as well as trade and cultural concepts. Living in neighboring territories had its own significance, since the management of economic and household relations replenished the social vocabulary of the Lezgian language.

this article presents an overview of Iraqi electronic media with an emphasis on their national identity. The study addresses the issues of a limited number of electronic media in the country and analyzes the features of the functioning media resources. The largest Iraqi electronic media served as the empirical basis for the study: Shafaq news, Rudaw, Xendan, Faceiraq.org, Alhurra and Basnews. The analysis allowed us to form a comprehensive picture of the current state of Iraqi electronic media. The study revealed the structural similarity of the electronic media under consideration. Each of them is organized according to the principle of thematic division of content, which ensures convenient navigation for users when working with websites. At the same time, each publication retains its own features and distinctive features reflecting the specifics of its target audience and editorial policy. The article also reveals the factors that limit the development and spread of electronic media in Iraq, which allows for a more complete picture of the country's media landscape and its development prospects.

verbalization of the associative-semantic perception of the family represents not only cultural, but also individual vectors of the functioning of modern speech. The purpose of the article is to analyze the associative-semantic field "Family", verbalizing the perception of this phenomenon in the speech of schoolchildren and teachers – residents of the Belgorod region. Research objectives: 1. To present the associative-semantic field "Family". 2. To identify semantic reactions to the linguacultureme "Family". 3. To formulate the value-semantic content of the family in the perception of residents of the Belgorod region. The central method for identifying the associative-semantic space of the family is the method of free associative experiment, thanks to which the semantic content of the family is illustrated and the cultural and value preferences of the recipients – native speakers of modern speech of different age and social groups are revealed. To establish the frequency of the reactions obtained, the method of quantitative analysis was used. An important place in modern linguistics is occupied by the study of anthropocentrism as an explicator of the interaction of man and the socio-cultural environment, therefore, an appeal to the results of the conducted free associative experiment as a means of verbalizing modern speech, in which the semantic, cultural and value universals of the linguacultureme “Family” are revealed, is relevant, since the linguacultureme is determined by the cultural environment and reflects the associative perception of the individual.
