This article proposes to look at the theory of translanguaging from the angle of its universality/non-universality, bringing into discussion a new empirical case - speech strategies and practices of highly educated multilingual migrants from the former USSR and multilingual residents of modern Russia. The authors conclude that people whose socialization took place in this region are characterized by rigid ideas about the language norm and authenticity, about the “purity” of languages and high standards of speaking them. These concepts apply to all languages, both native and foreign. Traditional and conservative language ideologies are widespread in the Soviet and post-Soviet area, which is the reason why translanguaging is often perceived as careless speech, incomplete language competence. In this sense, this regional case demonstrates the non-universality of translanguaging theory and the importance of contexts in which attitudes towards multilingualism, linguistic norm and related linguistic phenomena are formed. It is primarily the western democratic, postcolonial context of translanguaging practice and theory that explains why the language attitudes and speech behavior of residents of (post)Soviet region do not fit into it.

This article is devoted to the study of Erzya-Russian bilingualism in the aspect of code switching on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia. The aim of the study is to present the types of intra-phrase code switching based on the material of narrative recordings of Erzya-Russian bilingual children. Special attention is paid to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of native and non-native languages in a bilingual society, the mechanisms of code switching in children, taking into account the (non-) correspondence of structures in two languages and different strategies of native speakers’ response when using two languages in one unit of discourse. The source base of this study was the materials of the spontaneous narrative collected by the author of the article in 2017-2019. The informants are bilingual children aged 4 to 7 years inclusive. The research methods were the descriptive method of factual material, narrative sampling, included and not included observation.

The disappearance of small languages occurs through an obligatory phase of collective natural bilingualism (i.e., bilingualism resulting from language contacts) and ends with the transition of the language community to a more widespread and promising language. The disappearance of languages is the most large-scale manifestation and realization of the desire of the language system for monolingualism; with individual natural bilingualism, this desire manifests itself as linguistic attrition. Mathematical modeling of the phenomenon confirmed the hypothesis about the instability of natural bilingualism: both the individual one, and the collective natural bilingualism providing «double» communication, are at the same time a phase of transition to monolingualism. Language keepers are monolinguals, therefore the main condition for the preservation of an ethnic language is the existence of a monolingual repository (e.g., a country where the majority of the population has one mother tongue). At the same time, monolinguals can have as many foreign languages mastered in a logical way. Optimal for the preservation of any ethnic language (not just a small one) is the monolingualism of preschoolers (indigenous language) and the introduction of the second, third, etc. languages at the school age in a logical way. Keywords: disappearance of languages, collective natural bilingualism, artificial bilingualism, language attritions, non-linear dynamics, mathematical modeling, unstable state, monolingual repository.

The article analyzes the modern processes of artistic aestheticization and transculturation of the Tuvan text in the works of two modern authors: Maadyr-ool Khovalyg, who writes about Tuva in Tuvan, and Roman Senchin, who represents Tuva as genius loci in Russian. The authors of the article postulate the thesis about the fixation of the micromodels of the native world in the works of the Tuvan author by means of the mother tongue, which is a foreign-cultural text for the Russian reader. In the Russian prose written by Senchin, the principle of transculturation consists in the transfer through the native language of the “other” ethno-cultural consciousness of the author, when through various principles of modeling “his own world” and “another world”, not an orientalist, but a transcultural image of Tuva is formed in the world models “paradise lost”, “fairy-tale world”, “exotic world”. The authors of the article seek to identify the specifics of the artistic design of the Tuvan text in the system of an interdisciplinary paradigm of aesthetic, historiosophical, ethnographic, mythological correlates in the works of ethnically different writers. The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the transcultural approach (conceptual for the presented article) in the study of any national literature in the paradigm system “Russian literature and the literature of the peoples of Russia”. This approach makes it possible to remove most of the contradictions in the ethnic identification of the literary ethos, the writer and the individual work itself. The understanding of ethnocultural and transcultural literature as historical and cultural phenomena makes it possible to find their manifestations in completely multidirectional author’s artistic models of the Tuvan text.

The article is devoted to the analysis of a translingual literary text, which is a methodologically complex object of study due to its belonging to two (or more) linguocultural fields. The theory of translinguism is an actual course of interdisciplinary research, the problems of which affect the features of the creation and functioning of a text created by the author in a language that is not ethnically primary for him. A brief review of theoretical works devoted to the scientific concept of “translingualism” is given. On the material of individual poems by B. Kairbekov from the poetic collection “Towards the Sun”, individual elements of translingual poetics are identified and characterized.

Since Russia has always been a multicultural and multilingual country, there are many regions where several official languages (apart from the Russian language) coexist. Needless to say, bilingualism has its own peculiarities in each region. What would be the difference between the linguistic situation in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Republic of Tatarstan? In the present article, we are aiming to investigate the peculiarities of bilingualism in the two above-mentioned republics. Based on the analysis of the historical background of minority languages and current language policies, the article provides an overview of the linguistic situation in terms of language status and language use of minority languages in the educational system. It has shown that despite similar language policies, the actual situation in Tatarstan and Yakutia is different, especially in terms of preference for learning the minority language at school. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop bilingualism in the regions and organize the necessary methodological support for parents and teachers.

The problem of interaction of different cultures in the modern world is very acute. It is connected not only with the multicultural space of Russia. Any country in the world is forced to solve a difficult task: how to ensure the most prosperous and fruitful coexistence and cooperation of representatives of different nationalities within the borders of the state and the national language. Culture and literature solve a similar problem. Interest in the “multicultural field” of Russian literature began to be actively formed in the XIX century, but it reached its maximum point of development in the 1920s at the “breaking of epochs”, at the time of the formation of a new socio-cultural code of the era. In the literature of the post-revolutionary years, there was active work not only on the formation of a new worldview, but also on the creation of a new social and international culture, using the most understandable and meaningful markers of this culture for the readership, i.e. a new code of the era, significantly different from its predecessor. In the article we will consider how dramatically one of the key archetypes of national consciousness (the image of a mother woman) has changed under the influence of new social relations and how this phenomenon has been reflected in the prose of Sholokhov and Babel.

Linguistic landscape studies have become an integral part of sociolinguistics over the past twenty years. In this article, an attempt is made to study the development of their theoretical principles which have not been the subject of special research. Based on various definitions of the term “linguistic landscape” found in the works of different years the article shows the evolution of research principles from quantitative, based mainly on the statistical study of the representation of languages, to complex ones, which focus on the qualitative characteristics of languages functioning in public urban space.

The interpretation of biblical concepts is a complex translation problem, the method of literal translation cannot solve it. The search for lexical matches in the target language is not always systematic. A comprehensive solution to this problem is possible within the framework of the conceptual theory of metaphor, which allows you to rethink the process of translating biblical concepts. The article explores the implementation of the concept «the Lamb of God» («ὁ ἀµνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ») in the translations of the Gospel of John into English, German and Russian in the light of modern research on the conceptual theory of metaphor. The purpose of the study is to analyze the degree of implementation of the concept «the Lamb of God» («ὁ ἀµνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ») in translations of the Gospel of John. The work uses the MIPVU method to identify metaphors in the original text of the Gospel of John, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis to assess the adequacy of the translation of the concept « the Lamb of God» in the context of the biblical conceptual field. As a result of the study, it was revealed that in the English, German and Russian translations of the Gospel of John, the concept of the «the Lamb of God» («ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ») of the original text is not fully implemented. The absence of a separate lexical unit leads to confusion in the translations of the «Lamb» («ἀμνὸς») from the Gospel of John and the «Lamb» («ἀρνίον») from the Apocalypse, which distorts the meaning of the translations. The application of the MIPVU method to identify metaphors in the biblical text, as well as an integrated approach to the translation of biblical concepts, is a developing direction in modern translation studies. Modern advances in the field of metaphor theory make it possible to create new translations of the Bible that are accessible to readers who are not familiar with the biblical conceptual field.
圣经概念的解释是一个复杂的翻译问题，直译的方法无法解决。在目标语言中搜索词汇匹配并不总是系统的。在隐喻概念理论的框架内，这个问题可能有一个全面的解决方案，它可以让你重新思考翻译圣经概念的过程。本文结合现代隐喻概念理论的研究，探讨了“神的羔羊”这一概念在《约翰福音》英、德、俄译本中的运用。本研究的目的是分析《约翰福音》译本中“神的羔羊”(“ν ν ν ς το ο ς θεο ο ς”)这一概念的实现程度。这项工作使用MIPVU方法来识别约翰福音原文中的隐喻，以及分析和综合方法来评估在圣经概念领域背景下“上帝的羔羊”概念翻译的充分性。研究结果显示，在约翰福音的英文、德文和俄文译本中，原文中“神的羔羊”的概念(“ο μν ο ς το ο θεο ο”)没有得到充分落实。缺乏单独的词汇单位导致了约翰福音中的“羔羊”(“ν ν ς”)和启示录中的“羔羊”(“ρν ον”)的翻译混乱，这扭曲了翻译的意义。运用MIPVU方法识别圣经文本中的隐喻，并对圣经概念的翻译进行综合研究，是现代翻译研究的一个发展方向。隐喻理论领域的现代进步使创造新的圣经译本成为可能，这些译本对于不熟悉圣经概念领域的读者来说也很容易理解。

Modern advances in the field of metaphor theory make it possible to create new translations of the Bible that are accessible to readers who are not familiar with the biblical conceptual field.","PeriodicalId":52930,"journal":{"name":"Polylinguality and Transcultural Practices","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135081464","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}

This article examines the matter of bilingualism and biculturalism of bilingual authors analyzing the literary work of Nicholas Kotar, an American bilingual writer who is a descendant of the first-wave of Russian émigrés. The relevance of this topic stems from a growing interest among scholars of bilingual studies in researching the features of bilingual writers who efficiently use two languages and two cultures to create literary images and express their ideas, leading to translingualism and transculturalism in their work. The article analyzes how bilingualism and biculturalism of Nicholas Kotar, a heritage language speaker of Russian, reflect in his English-language literary works, using research methods of comparative, cultural and translational interpretation. In the novels from the Raven Son series The Song of the Sirin, The Heart of the World , The Throne of the Gods , The Son of the Deathless , Nicholas Kotar conveys elements of Russian folklore to Englishspeaking readers by mythopoesis. The analysis of the literary text provides results, revealing that samples of Nicholas Kotar’s English-language creativity emerge in the process of hybridization and syncretism through the mythopoetic transformation of Russian folklore and linguaculture. Nicholas Kotar’s novels contain many lexical and cultural borrowings, exotisms (Slavicisms), sayings from Russian fairy tales, as well as allusions pertaining to Russian linguaculture. Thus, incorporating elements of Russian fairy tales and other folklore genres enables the translingual and transcultural writer to familiarize English-speaking readers with elements of Slavic linguaculture through the combination and hybridization of English and Russian literary traditions in mythopoetic literature.
