The purpose article is to consider the representation of the image of a  scientific supervisor based on Internet memes containing a multimodal metaphor. The  relevance of the topic is due to the growing interest of the interdisciplinary scientific  community in the study of the Internet meme as a social, linguistic, psychological  phenomenon of interpersonal communication. The scientific novelty of the work is  determined by the fact that until now there have been no attempts to study the  representation of the academic community from the perspective of the theory of conceptual  metaphor using the material of Internet memes. Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of the study was the works of  linguists and cognitive scientists J. Lakoff, M. Johnson, R. Dawkins, V. Aldrich, Ch. Forsville,  B. Dancygier and L. Vandelanotte. The concept of visual metaphor and multimodality is  defined, the role of multimodal metaphor in Internet discourse is described, the features of  the functioning of multimodal metaphor are revealed. The material for the study was  Internet memes representing various aspects of interaction in the academic environment.  To systematize the units, a continuous sampling method was used, along with  pragmalinguistic, contextual and semantic analysis. Results and discussion. The Internet memes containing a multimodal metaphor that  represents the image of a scientific supervisor and illustrates the relationship between  graduate students and their mentors were found and analyzed in the paper. To select the  material, a search containing the keywords “scientific supervisor”, “Phd student”, “advisor”  was performed. The sources of the memes were the podcasts “The Struggling Scientists”,  “The Meming Phd”, “High impact PhD memes”. By selecting keywords, 85 Internet memes  were identified in which metaphorical transfers of the above images were found. Based on  the data obtained, 4 metaphorical models that most clearly illustrate the relationships  between the supervisor and the student were proposed. Conclusion. The study showed that multimodal metaphor is an integral part of modern  Internet communication and is an effective way of influencing the addressee. Internet  memes representing the image of a scientific supervisor were analyzed and systematized;  4 metaphorical mappings (“Scientific supervisor is a loving/caring parent”, “Scientific  supervisor is a Jedi”, “Scientific supervisor is a monster/maniac”, “Scientific supervisor is a  bad boss”) are highlighted and described. It was revealed that the considered Internet memes are characterized by the replacement of the verbal component with a non-verbal  (graphic) one in the target domain or in the source domain. The studied metaphorical  models reflect the most pressing problems of the academic community. The expressiveness  of the metaphor used is achieved through the use of movie characters in the source domain  or target domain.

The relevance of the work is due to the interest of linguistics in the issues of  discursive mediatization of socially significant phenomena in the English-language media, in  particular environmental safety as the most important value of modern society. The scientific  novelty of the study lies in establishing the content of the value “environmental safety” on  the basis of systematization and quantification of semantic fields that are correlated with the  main topics that determine the interpretation of this socially significant phenomenon in the  British media and form a discourse-based thesaurus of its representation. Methodology and sources. The paper used corpus linguistics methods and the  interpretative method of discourse analysis. The empirical basis of the study was a corpus  of media texts of high-quality and popular media devoted to environmental safety issues,  the corpus size was more than 200 thousand words. Results and discussion. Based on corpus analysis, semantic fields were identified that  represent the concept under study in the high-quality and popular British press. It is shown  that in the media narratives of the British media, ES is closely associated with climate change  and global warming. It was revealed that the dominant topics in narratives about  environmental security in both types of media are: 1) the environment; 2) science; 3) politics.  A comparative analysis of the semantic fields showed the predominance of the semantic  field “science” in high-quality media, which indicates rational and logical strategies for  influencing a wide readership. In the texts of popular media, the semantic field “politics”  dominates, which indicates the politicization of the discourse of environmental safety and  indicates a strategy of emotional impact on the addressee. Both corpora emphasize the  issues of climate change, related to unfavourable weather conditions and extremely high  temperatures, however, high-quality press texts mention temperature anomalies much  more often, which indicates an attempt to arouse public concern about the existing threat  and encourage the adoption of necessary measures. Conclusion. The proposed methodology can be used in analyzing the specifics of other  media discursive practices in terms of their discursive-textual organization, in studying the  rhetorical, pragmatic and linguocultural organization of environmental safety discourse in  sociocultural and ideological perspectives.","PeriodicalId":505315,"journal":{"name":"Discourse","volume":"98 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140659377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shumkov","doi":"10.32603/2412-8562-2024-10-2-89-102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32603/2412-8562-2024-10-2-89-102","url":null,"abstract":" Introduction. The case, which is a semantic and grammatical category, appears in natural  languages in the most unexpected way. A word or phrase that has a substantive unit at its  core receives an inflection (internal or external) in one case or another, which can be  expressed both explicitly and implicitly, and has a grammatical meaning. In this case,  inflection can be accompanied by a preposition that has a lexical meaning. These case  indicators, morphological and syntactic, organize the main or secondary substantive part of  the sentence, i.e. are related to the category of space. The number of cases today is still the  subject of scientific debate. Methodology and sources. The present study is based on analizing the views of various  scientists on the category of case, with special attention to the theory of L. Hjelmslev.  According to this theory, the maximum possible number of cases in natural language is 216.  In order to provide a purely formal calculation of the possible number of cases, which would  be at the same time independent on the earlier views, the article represents the substantive  part of the sentence as a semifinitive multiplied by a specifier (proto-specifier). These  statements are prescribed by the binomiality idea, having been developed since 1993 at ETU. Results and discussion. The generally accepted division of sentence parts into main and  secondary ones leads us to dividing all possible cases into direct cases (for subject) and indirect  cases (for secondary substantive parts). Thus, the direct case can be obtained by a simple  transformation from any indirect case, i.e. the space specifier goes back to the spatial proto-specifier. The space proto-specifier represents external space added to substantive mass. The  substantive semifinitive is a substantive mass multiplied by internal space. As the binomiality  idea prescribes, substantive masses can be in four states, while substantive semifinitives can be  in six states. Thus, the number of possible case forms should be equal to 24. Conclusion. According to classical physics, space is three-dimensional, so grammatical  space, both external and internal, should also, obviously, be considered three-dimensional.  This means that four states of substantive mass and six states of substantive semifinitives  can be in each of the three dimensions. Thus, the maximum possible number of cases may indeed reach 216. It should be noted that L. Hjelmslev derived the number 216 in a  completely different way, by dint of much deeper reasoning. In the future, it would be  interesting to compare L. Hjelmslev’s binary oppositions with the constituents of substantive  parts of sentence.","PeriodicalId":505315,"journal":{"name":"Discourse","volume":"63 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140664075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present the relevance of the problem of solidarity of Russian society is   associated with the attempts of the countries of the Greater West to solve accumulated   problems through building an image of the enemy, which makes it possible to consolidate   national economies and effectively fight opposition forces within the country. In modern   Russian philosophy, a number of approaches to developing the concept of solidarity of   Russian society have developed. Despite this, many aspects of this problem still remain   insufficiently studied. Thus, this study analyzes various approaches to defining the solidarity   of society, which were formed in Russian philosophy; identifies the essential properties of   solidarity, and substantiates the thesis about the need to form new tools and mechanisms   of social order that will allow for the solidarity of society. The purpose of the presented   research is a historiographic analysis of the concept of solidarity in relation to Russian reality.   Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of this study is the principle of unity   of the historical and logical, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. There were used   as sources the works of classics of Russian philosophical thought who developed the   concept of solidarity (I.S. Aksakov, N.Ya. Danilevsky, etc.), as well as the works of modern   Russian thinkers, such as Yu.V. Shkudunova, A.A. Efanov, allowing to identify the main   aspects of the problem of solidarity of Russian society.  Results and discussion. The authors of this article conducted a historiographical analysis   of the concept of “solidarization”. During the analysis, the main essential properties of   solidarity were identified, such as procedurality, value orientation, ideology, and complexity.   The relevance of the traditions of Russian religious philosophy for the development of the   problem of solidarity is also shown. The authors consider the solidarity of society as a set of   political, economic and sociocultural processes aimed at uniting society around an integral   system of values expressed by a single social ideology.  Conclusion. The modern world is in a phase of political turbulence, which has a direct   impact on all fundamental aspects of society. Their impact can be seen especially clearly in   the example of Russian reality. In these conditions, the survival of Russia depends on the   degree of unity of society as a guarantee of national security. ","PeriodicalId":505315,"journal":{"name":"Discourse","volume":"37 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140667334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Article is the result of a case analysis to study the satisfaction of students of   the AN НЕО “University associated with IA EAEC” with the educational process as one of the   indicators of the quality of education. An analysis of various aspects of student satisfaction   with the activities of the university allows to identify problems in the organization of the   learning process and find the best ways to solve them using available resources. In addition,   determining the overall level of student satisfaction allows making managerial decisions   based on relevant information about the needs of students and the quality of educational   services provided. The purpose of the article is to analyze the degree of satisfaction of   students of AN НЕО “University associated with IA EAEC” with the educational process in   general and their career orientations. This formulation of the question will allow to identify   more accurately the problems and needs of students, as well as to develop   recommendations for improving the quality of the educational process itself.  Methodology and sources. The case-study method was chosen as the methodological   strategy. The main research method in the work is a survey.  Results and discussion. The results of sociological research conducted in the form of a   questionnaire survey are presented. The type of sampling is continuous. According to the   results of the survey, students demonstrate pragmatism and focus on results in the learning   process. Thus, 70.6 % stated that only intrinsic motivation helps them to study. In difficult   competitive conditions, students need to be sure that the profession they get in higher   education will be in demand, that their knowledge will be enough to compete effectively  with other graduates in the labor market. In these conditions, modern students are aimed   not so much at obtaining fundamental knowledge as at acquiring practical skills.  Conclusion. One of the main results of the analysis is the conclusion that the most painful   issues for students are the issues of internship and grant opportunities.

The study is focused on English onomatopoeic verbs of motion in the literary   texts for children. A comparative analysis of sentences containing this particular semantic   group of verbs in the original text and in the corresponding sentences of the translated text   is carried out, the main goal being to ascertain whether the translator managed to avoid the   loss of iconicity and preserve iconic features of the original verb in the target language   translation and to what extent.   Methodology and source. The study was conducted on the original texts of 16 short stories   for young children by Laura Owen and the texts of their translations into Russian by   T. Slavnikova and E. Ukhova. The selection of verbs of motion was carried out in accordance   with the dictionary definitions of competent monolingual English dictionaries, which resulted   in clasifying all verbs the meaning “movement in space” as verbs of motion. The corpus of   studied verbs obtained by continuous sampling from the analysed texts amounted to 201   lexemes, 160 of which being of iconic origin. At the second stage of the reseach, a   comparative analysis of original sentences containing onomatopoeic verbs of motion and   their contextual translations was perfomed in order to assess the quality of the translation.   Results and discussion. A high degree of saturation (79.6 %) of the analyzed original tests   with onomatopeic verbs of motion was revealed. The analysis of the translated texts of   L. Owen’s stories for kids by T.

The institute of education in modern society is currently in the process of  serious transformation associated with the large-scale introduction of high technologies,  which is due to a similar process in post-industrial society as a whole. There is a growing  understanding of the negative consequences of digitalization of society and education along  with the understanding of the objective necessity of such transformation. The article  contains an analysis of the negative consequences and problems arising in the course of the  spread of digitalization of higher education in Russia.  Methodology and sources. The methodology of the research is based on the methods of  comparative analysis and extrapolation of transformations of social environment and  anthropological factors under the influence of technological progress in the field of higher  education. The signs of “high technology poisoning” considered by J. Naisbitt in his book  “High Tech – High Touch: Technology and Our Search for Meaning” and the concept of  extensive and intensive types of creativity formulated by A.I. Stoletov are a conceptual basis  for analyzing the impact of high technology on education. Results and Discussion. Seven symptoms of technological poisoning in higher education,  representing the main risks of the modern educational system, their manifestations in the  educational process and prospects in case the existing trend persists, have been considered.  One of the sources of manifestation of these symptoms is the extensive character of creativity  inherent in scientific and technological activity of the society, which stakes on innovative  development and mastering of material aspects of nature. The technogenic character of the  emerging innovation process levels out the activities associated with the intensive type of  creativity, aimed at the meaning-creating and existential aspects of human existence. Conclusion. Minimization of negative consequences presupposes the strengthening of the  humanitarian component in education, allowing to form a culture of “pause of  contemplation” (Grigory Pomerantz), in which technology will acquire, as it was suggested  by J.

The article explores the reasons for the emergence of ethnic diversity in the   city of Berlin, encompassing political, historical, geographical, anthropological, and sociological aspects of the urban environment. It also outlines the current issues in German   society that shape the political culture of its people. The relevance of the topic is driven by   the political radicalization of migrants in Germany, particularly in Berlin, resulting from   cultural globalization that impacts traditional political institutions and behavioral models of   the city's residents. The crisis of the liberal-democratic model and the increase in the   number of Eurosceptics also play a significant role in the transformation of the political   culture of contemporary Berliners.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the reasons for the choice of the   term “shehui” to designate the concept of “society” in China at the turn of the 19th and 20th   centuries. The research novelty of the work is manifested in the complex analysis of social   and managerial discourse of that time and in the identification of factors that influenced the   terminological choice. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the necessity to   understand the processes of formation of social sciences in China, which is important for   the interpretation of modern socio-political processes in the country, including in the   context of modern sociology of management. This is especially important for Russian   sociology, since its area of interest includes the search for mutually beneficial strategies of   interaction between Russian and Chinese societies.

This article delves into the analysis of modifications of mythological and   Christian archetypes in Joyce's work, particularly focusing on the novel “Ulysses” and   examining characters playing familial roles of “son” and “father”. The interest in family ties   is explored considering the atmosphere of creating the novel and biographical aspects.   Family roles are viewed through the modifications of a significant biblical narrative for the   author – the story of the prodigal son. The goal of the analysis was to showcase which vector   the author chose and why to develop this archetypal theme in “Ulysses”. The main role,   adapted to the familial setting through a new interpretation of the parable, was identified   and analyzed as the role of the “prodigal father”.   Methodology and sources. The textual analysis in the article was conducted in the   traditions of post-structuralism: additional intertexts were used to augment the familial   relationships of the novel's characters with new meanings.  Results and discussion. Through the modernization of familial archetypes in the novel, this   article demonstrates how Joyce, as a representative of world literature, treated these   templates. His myth-making involved selectively drawing from source materials that suited   his specific purposes, whether it was the story of Odysseus or the parable of the prodigal   son. He approached the archetypal text liberally, using it as a systematizing mechanism to   elevate contemporary issues to a more universal level.   Conclusion.
