Introduction. The article concerns the problem of digital technologies influence on political processes. The main goal of the paper is clarification of trends and perspectives of digital technologies in their application to political practice.Methodology and sources. Paper’s main approach is analysis of contemporary trends in artificial intelligence in context of political practices. Modern applications of AI-technologies in political practices examined on works of S. Russel and P. Norvig.Results and discussion. Analysis of trends in digital technologies application in political process shows that it could be distinguished three stages in transformation of politicalpractices. On the first stage analogous technologies are dominated despite those digital technologies exist and apply widely in human lives. On the second stage digital technologies are widely applied by politicians but citizens couldn’t actively influence in political process. The third stage make internet users true actors of political practices. On the same stage artificial intelligence systems concerned to big data is vigorously introduced in politics. Contemporary political systems in many ways based on success in AI-technologies however there is no full confidence in such a success in near future. Mass introduction of AItechnologies in politics has also negative influence on labor relations in society.Conclusion. Review of digital technologies application in political practice shows positive trends as well as negative ones. The answer on question how minimize negative effect of degradation of labor relations is still to be found.
引言本文涉及数字技术对政治进程的影响问题。本文的主要目标是阐明数字技术应用于政治实践的趋势和前景。本文的主要方法是结合政治实践分析当代人工智能的发展趋势。根据 S. Russel 和 P. Norvig 的著作研究了人工智能技术在政治实践中的现代应用。对政治进程中数字技术应用趋势的分析表明,政治实践的转变可分为三个阶段。在第一阶段,尽管数字技术已经存在并广泛应用于人类生活,但模拟技术仍占主导地位。第二阶段,政治家广泛应用数字技术,但公民无法积极影响政治进程。第三阶段,互联网用户成为政治实践的真正参与者。在同一阶段,与大数据相关的人工智能系统被大力引入政治领域。当代政治体制在许多方面都以人工智能技术的成功为基础,但人们并不完全相信这种成功会在不久的将来到来。在政治领域大规模引入人工智能技术也会对社会劳动关系产生负面影响。回顾数字技术在政治实践中的应用,既可以看到积极的趋势,也可以看到消极的趋势。如何最大限度地减少劳动关系恶化的负面影响,这个问题仍有待解决。

Introduction. The relevance of studying national diasporas in Russia is due to the intensification of ethno-confessional contradictions in the near abroad and the expansion of migration flows. The importance of the issues of adaptation and integration of migrants within the framework of established regional societies increases, a certain conflict potential within diasporas is fixed. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the data of the sociological study of the Armenian Diaspora for 2023 was introduced into scientific circulation. The purpose of the article is to describe the sociocultural portrait of the Armenian Diaspora in the conditions of a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional region (Republic of Mordovia).Methodology and sources. The genre of the sociological portrait in the framework of the study of society involves a comprehensive description of society, a systematic analysis of its basic characteristics. The authors compiled a sociocultural portrait of the Armenian diaspora, and at the same time emphasized the problems of adaptation and integration of Armenians into the multiethnic space of the region.Results and discussion. The primary data were the results of two waves of sociological research in 2017 and 2023, conducted by employees of the State Institution of the Republic of Moldova «Scientific Center for Socio-Economic Monitoring». 185 respondents were interviewed in 2017 and 285 in 2023. The sample is targeted, the recruitment of respondents was carried out through regional diaspora networks, as well as by the «snowball» method. As a result, the features of the settlement of the Armenian Diaspora, employment and labor practices are identified. The article characterizes the ethnic and confessional attitudes of the diaspora, and also reveals the specifics of social identity and linguistic attitudes.Conclusion. The socio-cultural portrait of the Armenian Diaspora in Mordovia is quite static and differs in already formed features. The social well-being of Armenians in Mordovia is generally positive. Positive assessments prevail in the perception of the financial situation, relations with the local society, and respect for their rights. The integration processes taking place in the Armenian Diaspora are characterized by a high degree of expression and positive dynamics, but do not imply complete assimilation. Integration occurs with varying degrees of intensity in specific areas of everyday life, such as economic, social, cultural and political.

Introduction. The problem of incomplete coincidence of views of K. Marx and F. Engels has long been raised in marxology. On this topic, D. McLellan, M. Ryubel, K.N. Lubutin and P.N. Kondrashov spoke. However, they were limited to political economy and ontology. We will discuss the views of classics on the origin of private property and the state.Methodology and sources. In this article the textual analysis of the works «Origin of family, private property and state» by F. Engels and «Forms preceding capitalist production» and «Manuscripts of 1844» by K. Marx is taken. The author a dopts a historical-comparative approach, combining the ideas of the classics with those of later Marxist schools.Results and discussion. F. Engels explains the appearance of the state by class contradictions. However, it does not distinguish the concept of «class» from the concept of «estate» and ignores the fact that in the pre-capitalist era an individual opposed another individual as a representative of a community that provided a certain standard of living. In a paragraph entitled «Forms Preceding Capitalist Production» in the «Economic Manuscripts of 1857–1861», K. Marx describes how the state emerged as an organizer of forced community works. This coercion was determined not by socio-political factors but by natural factors. Labor created not only a social product, but also the very relationship of domination. We show the semantic connection of this concept with that which was embodied K. Marx in «Economical-philosophical manuscripts of 1844».Conclusion. In classical Marxism there is no unified concept of the origin of the state and private property; the concepts of K. Marx and F. Engels differ from each other in the interpretation of the role of labor in this process. F. Engels attributes a passive role to labor. For K. Marx, the role of labor is active: labor itself creates its opposite, private property, and with it the state, which arises and exists due to the limitations of labor.

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is due to the following contradiction. According to comparative international studies, in a number of developed countries there is a decline in the interest of young people in scientific activities. In this regard, Russia is an exception, since young Russians are more loyal to science than, for example, their peers in Europe and highly value the impact of scientific achievements on society. At the same time, the problem of «worn-out» scientific personnel in Russia has not been completely resolved. The aging process has slowed down, but it is too early to talk about a massive influx of young personnel into science. Against the background of this contradiction, the authors put forward hypotheses about the lack of involvement of engineering students in scientific research and the dissatisfaction of representatives of the digital generation with the formats of scientific communication that they encounter.Methodology and sources. To develop the research methodology, the authors relied on the concept of the influence of the university on the student (E. Pascarella, P. Terenzini); the theory of the determination of student success by its academic and social integration into various spheres of university life (V. Tinto). To clarify the concept of «scientific communication» the authors turned to the conceptual model of M. Buki and B. Trench, which differentiates the channels and methods of public access to scientific information.Results and discussion. The purpose of the study was to determine the degree of student involvement in the scientific activities of the university and to analyze the conditions for the formation of communication strategies that promote involvement. Students of 1–3 years of bachelor's degree in technical specialties (N = 304) participated in the research.Conclusion. The following results were obtained. Firstly, although students view science as a highly significant activity, they do not recognize it as a model of their professional identity. Secondly, although science is of interest to many respondents, it remains at the level of plans, not action. Respondents see an obstacle to this in their own lack of confidence in their scientific and technical training. Third, research has identified communication strategies that both arouse interest in science and provide students with a sense of progress in mastering research competencies.
导言。本专题之所以具有现实意义,是因为存在以下矛盾。根据国际比较研究,一些发达国家的年轻人对科学活动的兴趣有所下降。在这方面,俄罗斯是个例外,因为与欧洲同龄人相比,俄罗斯青年对科学的忠诚度更高,而且非常重视科学成果对社会的影响。与此同时,俄罗斯科学人员 "老化 "的问题尚未完全解决。老龄化进程已经放缓,但现在谈论大量年轻人涌入科学界还为时尚早。在这一矛盾的背景下,作者提出了关于工科学生缺乏参与科学研究以及数字一代的代表对他们所遇到的科学交流形式不满意的假设。为了制定研究方法,作者借鉴了 "大学对学生的影响 "这一概念(E. Pascarella, P. Terenzini);以及 "学生成功与否取决于其在学术和社会方面是否融入大学生活的各个领域 "这一理论(V. Tinto)。为了澄清 "科学传播 "的概念,作者参考了 M. Buki 和 B. Trench 的概念模型,该模型区分了公众获取科学信息的渠道和方法。研究的目的是确定学生参与大学科学活动的程度,并分析形成促进参与的传播战略的条件。技术专业 1-3 年级本科生(N=304)参与了研究。研究结果如下。首先,尽管学生们认为科学是一项意义重大的活动,但他们并不承认科学是他们职业身份的一种模式。其次,尽管许多受访者对科学很感兴趣,但仍停留在计划层面,而非行动层面。受访者认为这方面的障碍在于他们自己对所接受的科技培训缺乏信心。第三,研究发现了既能激发学生对科学的兴趣,又能让学生感到在掌握研究能力方面取得了进步的交流策略。

Introduction. In the spring of 2020, the pandemic of coronavirus was announced in the world – the disease caused by the new type of coronavirus SARS-COV-2. In connection with the progressive psychoemotional stress in society in the literature and the media, attempts are made in a simple and affordable form to explain the causes of this disease and prevention methods. Despite the fact that the children's contingent was the least susceptible to the disease, this topic was widely covered in children's books, posters and brochures. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to analyze and study various methods of verbalizing the renewal of knowledge about coronavirus infection through lexical units. The article describes the results of the analysis of the concept of “coronavirus”, reflecting the “childish” vision of the disease.Methodology and sources. To create an idea of the concept of “Coronavirus”, it is required to conduct a framework analysis and build concepts of concepts that dominate generally in the discourse. For this, it is necessary to conduct a case analysis of children's texts, conceptual analysis and method of modeling using the theory of cognitive metaphor. Also, the compilation of frames will need to conduct definition, etymological, component and contextual analyzes.Results and discussion. Within the framework of this article, the role of metaphor as the main mechanism for representing information about the disease and its prevention is presented. As a result of the study, strategies for the verbalization of knowledge about coronavirus infection were revealed, contributing to training and socializationConclusion. The significance of the presented work is determined by the possibility of using the results of the study in theoretical and practical courses in cognitive linguistics, discourse theory, text linguistics and metaphorology. In addition, the results of the study can be used in theoretical and practical medical activity to optimize the connection in the field of pediatrics.

Introduction. The relevance of the study is explained by the necessity to preserve Frenchspeaking culture and language on the territory of Canada in the conditions of globalization, the spread of American mass culture and the significant impact of English as a global language. The purpose of the work is to describe and analyze the sociolinguistic particularities of the existence of the French language in the English-speaking competitive environment in Canada.Methodology and sources. During the study, the following sociolinguistic methods were used: descriptive method, comparison method, continuous sampling method, sociolinguistic analysis method, quantitative data processing method, questionnaire survey. The research is based on the material of Сanadian media, legislative acts regulating the state's language policy, data obtained through surveys of Canadian citizens, and 5,234 inscriptions in five Canadian cities which were selected to examine the country's linguistic landscape.Results and discussion. Under Canadian laws, French and English have equal status in parliamentary readings, in public services and in everyday life, as well as in education, radio and television. However, English is the dominant language and has great prestige throughout Canada. All of the evidence collected shows the decisive superiority of English as the primary means of communication in media, advertising and politics. Existing legislation to protect and promote the use of both official languages is not fully enforced, as evidenced by numerous complaints from Canadians to the Commissioner of Official Languages.Conclusion. In Canada, a multi-component exoglossic linguistic situation has developed with two official languages – English and French, which is characterized by the existence of natural bilingualism. Linguistic minorities, such as Anglophones in Quebec and Francophones outside Quebec, may experience linguistic discrimination, creating tensions between residents of the same country. French is significantly influenced by the majority English and immigrant languages that dominate the linguistic landscape of Canadian cities.

Introduction. The main objective of article is analysis the personal anti-war utterances on protest posters to determine their pragmatic functions in the discourse of public opinion. The theoretical and practical significance of article is identification, description and classification types of personal speech tactics of anti-war protest discourse based on material of verbalized statements at solitary pickets in the spring of 2022 in Russia.Methodology and sources. A content analysis, pragmatic and semantic analysis of 455 utterances are carried out, utterances are obtained by continuous sampling method in the Telegram channel “OVD-Info” in the period from 02.24.2022 to 05.31.2022 and from the opened media sources indicated in the open database “Illustrative Material”.Results and discussion. Anti-war discourse as thematic variety of political discourse is formed in the process of public expression of criticism or disagreement in relation to military actions as way of resolving a geopolitical conflict and /or in relation to a specific military event, as well as in relation to political decisions leading to military actions. Anti-war discourse contains a specific semiotic code, which includes concepts “peace” and “war” as an obligatory component. And anti-war discourse is realized in a certain social and historical extralinguistic context. We checked up the important role of speech tactics which significantly transform the text of anti-war utterance, such as graphic euphemization, semiotic euphemization, abbreviation, neutralization. They implement a complex spectrum of speaker` s intentions, masking and revealing it the same time.Conclusion. We have found not only differences in “direct” and “hidden” messages, but their similarities, consisting in the fact that for a part of the audience in the spring of 2022 in Russia the difference was leveled by the conditions of social communication: any statement in the public space was assessed as ‘anti-war” regardless of its form and content.

Introduction. The article considers the analysis of metaphorical models describing the Moon and the Sun, two key mythologems in the works of F.H. Thompson, a religious English poet of XIX-XX centuries. The research relevance is connected with the growing interest in the representation of the individual author's worldview in a poetic text and with the fact that the work of F.H. Thompson in Russian philology remains poorly studied.Methodology and sources. The research is based on the conceptual metaphor theory byLakoff and Johnson. The empirical basis of the study was the poems by F.H. Thompson “A Corymbus for Autumn”, “Orient Ode”, “Ode to the Setting Sun”, “The Mistress of Vision”, “An Anthem of Earth”, “Sister Songs”, “From the Night of Forebeing”, “The Hound of Heaven”, “The Song of Hours”, “The Sere of the Leaf”, “The Dead Astronomer”, “Ad Amicam”, “Ad Castitatem”, “Love Declared”, “Of Nature: Laud and Plaint”, “Nocturn”, “Assumpta Maria”, “To a Poet Breaking Silence”, “Arab Love-Song”, “Victorian Ode”.Results and discussion. The analysis revealed that in F.H. Thompson's poetry the images of the Moon and the Sun are contrasted as “passive – active”, “weak – strong”, “chastity – passion”, “cold – heat”, “water – fire”, to a lesser extent “death – life”, “female – male” and “pagan – Christian”. The Sun is a source of life, beauty and poetic inspiration, and, in addition, the movement of the Sun across the sky during the day helps people to understand the story of Christ’s death and resurrection and its sense. The Moon, despite its coldness and passivity, also plays a necessary role in the universe (for example, controlling natural cycles and acting as an intermediary between the Sun and mankind).Conclusion. The images of the Moon and the Sun fit seamlessly into the general system of images of Thompson's poetry, in which the author seeks to create an image of a spiritualized Universe filled with the presence of God. The Sun is the central image of Thompson's poetry, an active character, often likened to Christ; the Moon is more passive and more strongly associated with paganism and death (which, however, does not make its image negative).
引言。本文对十九至二十世纪英国宗教诗人汤普森(F.H. Thompson)作品中描述月亮和太阳这两个重要神话的隐喻模式进行了分析。研究的相关性与人们对诗歌文本中作者个人世界观的表现日益增长的兴趣有关,也与俄罗斯语言学对 F.H. Thompson 作品的研究仍然很少这一事实有关。研究基于拉科夫和约翰逊的概念隐喻理论。研究的实证基础是 F.H. 汤普森的诗作《秋天的科伦布》。汤普森的诗歌 "A Corymbus for Autumn"、"Orient Ode"、"Ode to the Setting Sun"、"The Mistress of Vision"、"An Anthem of Earth"、"Sister Songs"、"From the Night of Forebeing"、"The Hound of Heaven"、"The Song of Hours"、"The Sere of the Leaf"、"The Dead Astronomer"、"Ad Amicam"、"Ad Castitatem"、"Love Declared"、"Of Nature:结果与讨论。分析表明,在 F.H. 汤普森的诗歌中,月亮和太阳的形象被对比为 "被动-主动"、"弱-强"、"贞洁-激情"、"冷-热"、"水-火",其次是 "死亡-生命"、"女性-男性 "和 "异教-基督教"。太阳是生命、美丽和诗歌灵感的源泉,此外,太阳在白天划过天空的运动有助于人们理解基督受难和复活的故事及其意义。月亮尽管冷酷无情,但在宇宙中也扮演着必要的角色(例如,控制自然周期,充当太阳和人类之间的中介)。月亮和太阳的形象完美地融入了汤普森诗歌的总体形象体系,作者试图在诗歌中塑造一个充满上帝存在的精神化宇宙形象。太阳是汤普森诗歌的核心形象,是一个积极主动的人物,经常被比作基督;月亮则较为被动,与异教和死亡联系更为紧密(但这并不意味着月亮的形象是消极的)。

Introduction. The dynamic development and diversification of the modern public sphere, especially in the conditions of total digitalization and mediatization, requires modern scientific reflection.The article proposes the principles of classification of the system of terms of advertising and public relations. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the operationality of using a nested method of lexicographic fixation of advertising and public relations terms based on the classical model of G. Lasswell's communication of concepts.Methodology and sources. The problems of lexicography of terms of the communication sphere (journalism, applied communications, media communications) have their own scientific reflection. The article proposes a model of a modern dictionary of advertising and public relations, where the components of the G. Lasswell model form the basis of the nest principle.Results and discussion. The article suggests the main nests (conceptual and terminological fields) of the dictionary of advertising and public relations: basic; communication subjects; communication objects; communication tools (traditional and new); communication technologies; communication results; communication product. The analysis of the composition of dictionary nests made it possible to identify dichotomies as classifying features of dictionary terms: according to the original scientific discipline; according to the use in the thematic field; according to etymology; according to the writing of borrowings; according to the structure; according to the productivity of the word-formation model.Conclusion. Description and classification of the terminology of advertising and public relations revealed a number of problems of describing the terms of new social practices and scientific disciplines: the boundaries of the subject of research; the principles of selection of sources, the specifics of lexicographic processing (from the dictionary to the glossary and dictionary). The work on the dictionary may in the future provide material for discussing a number of linguistic tasks proper.
导言现代公共领域的动态发展和多样化,尤其是在全面数字化和媒体化的条件下,需要现代科学的反思。文章的目的是证明在 G. Lasswell 的经典概念传播模型基础上使用嵌套法对广告和公共关系术语进行词典固定的可操作性。传播领域(新闻学、应用传播学、媒体传播学)术语的词典学问题有其自身的科学思考。文章提出了现代广告和公共关系词典的模式,其中 G. Lasswell 模式的组成部分构成了巢原则的基础。文章提出了广告和公共关系词典的主要巢(概念和术语领域):基础;传播主体;传播客体;传播工具(传统的和新的);传播技术;传播结果;传播产品。通过对词典词巢构成的分析,可以确定二分法作为词典术语的分类特征:根据原始科学学科;根据在主题领域的使用;根据词源;根据借词写作;根据结构;根据词形成模式的生产力。对广告和公共关系术语的描述和分类揭示了描述新的社会实践和科学学科术语的一系列问题:研究对象的界限;选择来源的原则;词典处理的具体细节(从词典到词汇表和词典)。有关词典的工作将来可能会为讨论一些语言学任务本身提供素材。

Introduction. The article examines the application of the concept of social construction to the formation of the image of a “hero” among students and its sociodynamics during a special military operation. Conscripts and Cossack youth were taken for comparative analysis. The importance of the influence of images of “heroes” that meet certain requirements in the conditions of “hybrid war” is noted.Methodology and sources. The main approaches to social construction from the position of forming the image of a “hero” are presented (A. Schutz, P. Berger, T. Lukman, G. Bloomer, K. Popper, M. Spector, J. Kitseuse, W. Lippman). The factors influencing the formation of the image of the “hero” and the procedures of social construction are described. The interrelation of the constructed image of the "hero" and the result of its functioning in the social environment is shown. The influence of mass media and social networks on the formation of the image of a “hero” is substantiated, the concept of a social construct is described: representations of youth – value choice – result. The research data of the authors of the article on the value orientations of young people are presented.Results and discussion. The results of sociological diagnostics of the image of the “hero” in the dynamics of 2022–2023 are presented. This diagnosis was carried out among students in St. Petersburg and Moscow, as well as among a group of young people to whom targeted social technologies were applied (specifically, conscripts and Cossack youth).Conclusion. In the second year of the special military operation, there was a transformation of the image of a ‘hero’ for all groups of young people. The students were influenced by the social construction of “soft power”. For example, changing the broadcast content on the Internet, introducing special lessons of courage and “Talking about important things”. However, the standard of the “warrior hero” remains at the level of the Great Patriotic War, which indicates insufficient historical immersion of the transmitted information, and, at the same time, insufficient actualization of modern warrior heroes. The results are somewhat different for young people focused on the military sphere (on the example of Cossack youth). By purposeful social construction (political information, direct communication with the participants of a special military operation, studying the history of Russia, etc.), the image of the “hero” turns out to be stronger and more reliable.
