The article considers occasional word formation as a linguistic phenomenon of the intensity category representation in differently structured languages in the light of the cognitive-discursive paradigm of modern linguistic research. This study is based on the principle of synthesizing the accumulated knowledge on the theory and methodology of cognitive-discursive analysis, on the theory and semantics of word formation, including the use of methods of comparative, textological, component, functional-semantic and morphological analysis. Based on the analysis of the precedent poetic texts of the Russian author V. Mayakovsky, the word-formation models of occasional formations in the Russian language are identified and the ways of their reconstruction in the target language (German) are substantiated. The author singles out nominal suffixal occasionalisms (nouns and adjectives), nominal and verbal prefixed occasionalisms and nominal compound occasionalisms according to the word-formation method, highlighting as a separate group grammar occasionalisms (or formative occasional formations). They are characterized by the use of lexical units conventionally fixed in lexicographic publications, while the grammatical forms of these units are non-standardized. Translated German analogues are characterized by both analytical word-building structures, determined by the translator’s desire to convey not only the meaning, but also preserve the original form of translated occasionalism, and the widespread use of the descriptive method of translation, which includes usual lexical units to describe the original occasionalism. The comparison of the Russian and German languages reveals the differences in the semantic, structural and syntactic (rhythmic for poetic discourse) aspects on the example of occasional units of poetic discourse. This indicates the need to talk not about equivalence in translation, but about the correlation of the analyzed units. As a result of comparing the studied units, certain regularities characteristic of the derivational systems of the Russian and German languages, reflecting the cognitive-mental nature of the word-formation processes of categorization and conceptualization of the external and internal world of the Russian and German linguistic culture members were established.

The object of research in the article is functional parts of speech, and the subject matter is their role in the language realization of its main functions: cognitive, communicative and interpretive. As the author states, functional words have been thoroughly studied in the context of structural paradigm whereas their role in the reconstruction of the work of consciousness calls for a more detailed analysis which is the aim of the article. The analysis is carried out on the material of the English language with occasional references to the Russian language. The main methods of analysis are introspection and semantic interpretation, inferential and context-situational types of analysis. As the analysis shows the functional parts of speech contribute greatly to the language realization of its main functions: cognitive, communicative and interpretive. The history of the determination category, constituted by the opposition of the definite, indefinite and zero articles, reveals that articles reflect the cognitive development of a human being, the transition from the perception of a single object to categorization, i.e. from concrete to abstract thinking. The participation of the article in the actual division of the sentence reveals its contribution to the language realization of its communicative and interpretive functions. The main function of the prepositions consists in forming the scaffolding for our thought on its way to verbalization in the sentence as a special format of knowledge about a situation of reality. Prepositions serve as language markers of the roles of participants of the event, presented in the sentence. Besides, the variation in the choice of a preposition manifests the difference in the focus of attention during the perception of an event as well as the difference in the perception of the same event by different types of language consciousness. Conjunctions as markers of the character of relations between the components of a composite sentence as a special format of knowledge manifest the possibility of different interpretations of the relations between the events of reality presented in the proposition of the composite sentence as a mental analog of reality. The study of conjunctions in the cognitive aspect enables us to get knowledge about the cognitive development of a child as well as about the specificity of discourse patterns in different languages related to ethnocultural factors. Reflecting the deep relations between the events of reality, conceptualized by the individual mind, conjunctions carry out an important function in the fiction text, participating in the expression of its dominant meanings and the plot development.

The study investigates the representation of the vaccine against COVID-19 in “editorial”, “opinion” and “analysis” articles. The study draws on the appraisal model as a linguistic tool to analyze the attitudinal language of the articles, the differences in which have the potential to be the ground for differentiating “opinion”, “editorial”, and “analysis” texts. The selected 30 articles belong to the period from March 2020 to January 2021, when the importance of the vaccine was unprecedented and all political and economic factors moved to the background. The findings indicate no significant differences in the types of evaluations used, though demonstrate some tendencies that constitute grounds for further research in the field: 1) “analysis” texts draw on less evaluative elements than “editorial” and “opinion”; 2) “opinion” texts demonstrate a balance of appreciation and judgment; 3) there is a dominance of judgment in “editorial” texts. The paper demonstrates that all texts judge the vaccines as effective tools and avoid emotional or negative evaluations.

The subject of the study is the peculiarities of translational transformations distribution in the American artistic discourse while translating English advisive speech acts into Russian and the causes of their occurrence. The purpose of the study is to systematize transformations while translating English advisives into Russian. The stated purpose involves solving the following tasks: 1. to identify the main types of translation transformations in the group of advisive speech acts; 2. to establish the main causes of transformations when translating English advisives into Russian. The following methods are used to solve these tasks: continuous sampling method, comparative analysis, distributive method, descriptive method, interpretation method. The scientific novelty is determined by a detailed analysis of translation transformations in the advisive group of speech acts in accordance with the text approach. It includes not only their distribution peculiarities but also their main causes. The analysis of translation transformations in advisive speech acts revealed the following: 1. Structural translation transformations predominate in advisive speech acts due to the typological linguistic reasons. 2. Extralinguistic factors mostly cause contextual transformations as well as speech acts transformations. 3. There are some examples when no translation transformation occurs which mostly happens with similar English and Russian constructions

The article investigates the evaluative component of the toponymic vocabulary in the English and Russian languages. The material of the research (evaluative toponyms and toponymic nicknames) was received from the geographic information systems GNIS and the dictionary of Russian toponyms by E.M. Pospelov. The purpose of the study is to identify the ratio of positive or negative evaluation components in the sphere of toponymy in different languages and to explain the cognitive reasons for the predominance of positive semantics among the toponymic vocabulary. The methodology used in the research combines continuous sampling method, method of quantitative and comparative analyses. The results of the investigation show that the axiological aspect of toponymy is universal and that there is a significant asymmetry towards positive evaluation when reflecting the sensory perception of the surrounding reality. This fact can be explained by the work of the language consciousness and the advertising function of toponyms aimed at creating a positive perception of a geographical space.

Internet discourse is a multifaceted phenomenon studied by a number of sciences from different perspectives. In any type of discourse, the choice of syntactical structure and lexical units is determined by pragmatics of communication and is dependent on the speaker’s intention. The same is true for blogs. This paper undertakes to look into cognitive mechanisms underlying the creation or choice of hashtags in Instagram blogs. The analysis was based on collected corpus of 2000 hashtags including those in English and Russian. Instagram accounts under study included those with the number of followers ranging from 5000 to 200 million. Among them were accounts of celebrities (who are famous due to their profession and take blog as a way of communication with their fans) and “proper” bloggers (whose blogs are their job and main activity). The study resulted in a classification of hashtags distinguished with regard to their form, communicative intention of the author and cognitive mechanisms employed in choosing them. Thus 1) prototype hashtags aim to express involvement or belonging and may be based on the cognitive mechanism of implication; 2) performative hashtags are based on profiling and show intention of highlighting one component of a blogger’s image; 3) imperative hashtags are based on profiling as well and aim to encourage some action on the part of followers; 4) metaphoric hashtags are based on cognitive metaphors and usually serve self-representation; 5) topical hashtags include a number of subtypes and may be based on generalization, perspectivization, focusing or elaboration and serve as topical markers or means of consolidation with other topically related accounts; 6) category hashtags are based on concretization and serve to navigate within one blog; 7) summarizing hashtags are based on inference and aim to provide a summary or a conclusion; 8) metatext hashtags are based on composition and seek to link with already known hashtags adding new characteristics, knowledge or meaning to the precedent message. The choice of hashtags by each blog author appears to be dependent on the number of followers and the type of blog.

This article aims to model the nominative field of the concept PENSION in the logical and experiential approaches. Using the method of the conceptual and definitional analysis, we analyze the objective semantic features in the meaning of the lexeme “pension”. The conceptual characteristics, reflected in the ordinary consciousness of young speakers of Russian linguo-culture, are revealed on the basis of free associative experiment data. Free associative experiment was carried out among 99 students (17-25 years old) of the Philological Faculty of the RUDN University. The data of the free associative experiment allow us to reveal the connections of the concept PENSION with the concept OLD AGE in the conceptual system of the Russian linguo-culture.

The article presents the theory of cognitive modeling of literary text space aimed at a comprehensive cognitive interpretation of proxeme text code. A typology of text cognitive constructs is proposed. This typology includes six types such as: literary concept, cognitive-plot matrix of literary text, text cognitive links, cognitive coordinates of literary text, cognitive text space models, cognitive text temporal models. The research presents the author’s algorithm for modeling and interpreting text proxeme constructs applied to studying the cognitive model of nominative field of concept SPACE and offers the typology of literary space nominees consisting of proxemes’ types such as: (1) words with prepositions as space markers, (2) verbs of movement or location in space, (3) place names, (4) landscape units as landscape nominations. It is revealed that proxemes have the form of a word or phrases that can be single-component or multi-component nominees. According to the method of functioning proxemes are divided into personalised proxemes and non-personalised proxemes. The existence of anthropocentrically marked and anthropocentrically unmarked models of literary space is justified.

The subject matter of the article is the content of one of the practices of commemorative discourse, namely memorial plaques put up in the 1920s - early 21st century. The article is aimed at analysing some mechanisms and means of knowledge transfer in commemorative discourse from an interdisciplinary perspective, using the example of memorial plaques. The work is based on the study of 1,500 memorial plaques in various cities of Russia, including national autonomies. Comparative analysis became the main research method. The ideas of cognitive approach made it possible to trace the processes of linguistic interpretation and understand the principles of information representation and knowledge transfer, which is relevant for the study of the informative and communicative function of commemorative discourse. The authors came to the following conclusions: the content of memorial plaques contributes to knowledge transfer; at that, this process is inseparable from the informative and communicative function of commemorative practices. The form of commemorative discourse under study can include all the main mechanisms of knowledge transfer; however, the focusing-defocusing mechanism is of primary importance, which is due to the peculiarities of a small-format text. All parts of the commemorative ensemble are involved in knowledge transfer. At the turn of the 21st century elements of the artistic design of memorial plaques, which expand and intensify verbal information, begin to play an increasingly significant role in this process. The results of the work can be used both in further theoretical research and in the practice of creating memorial plaques aimed at deepening their informative and communicative function.

The article is aimed at analysing some mechanisms and means of knowledge transfer in commemorative discourse from an interdisciplinary perspective, using the example of memorial plaques. The work is based on the study of 1,500 memorial plaques in various cities of Russia, including national autonomies. Comparative analysis became the main research method. The ideas of cognitive approach made it possible to trace the processes of linguistic interpretation and understand the principles of information representation and knowledge transfer, which is relevant for the study of the informative and communicative function of commemorative discourse. The authors came to the following conclusions: the content of memorial plaques contributes to knowledge transfer; at that, this process is inseparable from the informative and communicative function of commemorative practices. The form of commemorative discourse under study can include all the main mechanisms of knowledge transfer; however, the focusing-defocusing mechanism is of primary importance, which is due to the peculiarities of a small-format text. All parts of the commemorative ensemble are involved in knowledge transfer. At the turn of the 21st century elements of the artistic design of memorial plaques, which expand and intensify verbal information, begin to play an increasingly significant role in this process. The results of the work can be used both in further theoretical research and in the practice of creating memorial plaques aimed at deepening their informative and communicative function.","PeriodicalId":53482,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Kognitivnoy Lingvistiki","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67637658","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}

Simultaneous interpreting is regarded as one of the most difficult and stressful types of activity. Simultaneous interpreters work in a severe time deficit and have to absorb much information per unit of time, which means that different cognitive processes (e.g., memory, attention, thinking, perception) are engaged concurrently. This leads to a severe cognitive load, which is sometimes compared with that of pilots. In the current study we investigate how the increase in cognitive load, which happens throughout time, affects interpreters’ performance. This surge, we expect, will be observed on two language levels: verbal and nonverbal (gestural). The analysis is based on 10 videos of simultaneous interpreting of a lecture about biodiversity from English (L2) into Russian (L1), approximately 10 minutes each. The results of the study show an increase in speech disfluencies on the verbal level and distribution of various gesture functions on the nonverbal level. In particular, verbal disfluencies are exteriorized in fillers, draggings and truncations, and their number increases during the interpreting. Along with disfluencies we observed the rise of the co-speech gestures, e.g., adapters and pragmatic gestures, that help maintain control over the process of simultaneous interpreting, structure the output and reduce the cognitive load and stress experienced by participants while performing the task.
