The purpose of the study is to find out the features of phrases in the interlanguage of Chinese students studying Russian language. By analyzing a number of works related to the term "interlanguage", comparing the concept of interlanguage in the publications of various specialists, in the article the concept of the term "interlanguage" is clarified, which has been updated in recent years in Russian and foreign linguistics, and similarities and differences in their understandings are found. Highlighting the features of phrases in the interlanguage of Chinese student studying Russian language is an important and urgent task that contributes to the study of interlanguage as a whole. The subjects of the research are oral and written language materials collected by teachers with the help of classroom tests and homework among two groups of Chinese philology students studying Russian language at the Faculty of Philology in Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the authors for the first time systematically summarized and analyzed such features of phrases in the interlanguage of Chinese students studying Russian language as literal translation from native language to target language, the absence or excessive use of preposition, incorrect choice of preposition in phrases in the interlanguage of Chinese students studying Russian language, and the reasons for the existence of these features. The result of the study provides useful advices in the direction of improving the effectiveness of learning Russian language – in classes of second language acquisition, especially in classes of teaching Chinese students Russian language.

The article is dedicated to the issue of defining the concept of DEMOCRACY. Its meaning in the Russian political discourse is clarified on conceptual, figurative, and value levels. The peculiarities of this concept in the Russian political discourse are identified from the perspective of the Chinese linguocultural tradition. The similarities and differences in the content of the concept of DEMOCRACY in the linguocultural traditions of Russia and China are examined. To achieve the stated goal, the method of linguocultural analysis of the text was used in the research. Informational and analytical texts on political topics published in the mass media of Russia and China were used as research materials. The concept of “sovereign democracy”, relevant to Russian political culture, and “people’s democracy”, represented in Chinese political discourse, are analyzed. The theoretical foundations and prospects for the development of these concepts, associated with national linguocultural traditions, are evaluated. The ecessity of forming a corpus of interrelated concepts for the development of national ideologies as complex and interacting images of national political worldviews is emphasized.

The study aims to figure out the features of complex sentences in Chinese Russian-learners’ interlanguage by analysing the examples of several complex sentences in Chinese students’ interlanguage. Interlanguage is considered as a constantly developing, consistent internal language system in the process of mastering a second language. At the same time, scientific achievements in the field of syntax are demonstrated in the study. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that singularity is proposed and analyzed as one of the features of complex sentences in Chinese Russian-learners’ interlanguage. As a result of the study, except for singularity, which is seen as one of the main features of complex sentences in Chinese Russian-learners’ interlanguage, the absence of the connective word «чтобы» in complex sentences where it should be used is determined as another feature of complex sentences in Chinese Russian-learners’ interlanguage when considering the structure of sentences. Meanwhile, the incorrect form of the verb in the subordinate clause after the connective word «чтобы» and the incorrect use of the gender, the number and the case of the connective word «который» in the subordinate clause are discussed as other features of complex sentences in Chinese Russian-learners’ interlanguage.

An icon is a sacred work of art that is both material and spiritual, based on the cultural experience acquired by the Christian community over two thousand years of Christian civilization. This is the uniqueness and universality of the icon in the Christian concept of knowing and worshiping God. The authors analyse such philosophical foundations of icon painting as transcendentality, metaphysic and ontological nature, and anthropologism. The material and spiritual nature of the icon is determined, the theological foundations of icon painting are identified including the observance of the canons and mysticism.

Статья посвящена исследованию концепта «менеджмент» в разных лингвокультурных средах, сопоставительному анализу содержания понятия «менеджмент» в межкультурной коммуникации. Описываются концепт «менеджмент» в русской лингвокультуре с его особенностями в смысловом наполнении и передача этих смыслов средствами языка. Актуальность работы связана с объектом исследования, концепт «менеджмент» носит интернациональный характер, отражен в разных национальных языковых сознаниях, где приобретает те или иные национально-специфичные черты, обусловленные как собственно языковыми, так и экстралингвистическими факторами. Этот концепт является относительно новым для русской лингвокультуры, его межкультурное сопоставление представляет интерес для исследований в области межкультурной коммуникации, теории и практики перевода, лингвокультурологии, этнопсихолингвистики. Условие функционирования концепта - современная лингвокультурная ситуация - подчеркивает значимость настоящего исследования. Материал исследования (тематические и семантические словари русского языка, Национальный корпус русского языка, Британский национальный корпус и Национальный корпус современного американского языка) рассматривался с использованием следующих методов: метод сплошной выборки, метод частичной и направленной выборки, описательный метод, включающий методы наблюдения, интерпретации и генерализации, лингвокультурологический анализ, компонентный, контекстуальный и концептуальный анализ, словообразовательный и этимологический анализ. Результаты исследования позволили выявить особенности концепта «менеджмент» в русской лингвокультуре на фоне других лингвокультур (английской, американской, китайской, вьетнамской, итальянской и иранской). Английское слово «менеджмент» в русской лингвокультуре получило широкую сочетаемость, обусловленную активностью его использования в языке, по сравнению с китайской, вьетнамской, итальянской и иранской лингвокультурами, где данная лексема преимущественно ограничивается бизнес-коммуникацией. The article studies the concept “management” in different linguistic and cultural environments, presents a comparative analysis of the content of the concept “management” in intercultural communication. It describes the concept “management” in the Russian linguistic culture with its peculiarities in the semantic content and the transfer of these meanings by means of language. The relevance of the article is connected with the object of the research: the concept “management” is international, it is reflected in different national language consciousness where acquires certain nationally specific features caused by both proper language and extralinguistic factors. This concept is relatively new for Russian linguistic culture, its intercultural comparison is of interest for the research in the field of intercultural communication, translation theory and practice, cultural linguistics, ethnopsycholinguistics. The conditions of the concept functioning - the modern linguistic and cultural situation - emphasizes the significance of the present research. The material of the research (thematic and semantic dictionaries of the Russian language, Russian national corpus, British national corpus and national corpus of the modern American language) was studied with the help of the following methods: a continuous sampling, a partial and directed selection, a descriptive (containing methods of observation, interpretation, generalization) method, linguistic and cultural analysis, component, contextual and conceptual analysis, word-formation and etymological analysis. The results of the research allow to reveal the features of the concept “management” in Russian linguistic culture on the background of other linguistic cultures (English, American, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, and Iranian). The English word “management” in the Russian linguistic culture has received a wide compatibility due to its active use in the language, compared with Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, and Iranian linguistic cultures, where this lexeme is mainly limited to business communication.

The article analyzes linguocultural image of Iran. The main goal of the study is to determine which linguistic units with national and cultural specificity have the ability to express the linguocultural image of the said country while simultaneously reflecting various fragments of the national world picture. The paper concretizes the concept of "linguocultural image" in relation to the verbalized units of those texts. The country image is presented as a certain system, which is characterized by ambivalent characteristics at the levels of value and semantics. The picture of Iran is modeled through the special view of the representative of one country and culture on another country and culture. The ethnocultural component of this image is constructed as a certain semantic field with its core and periphery. Linguistic, figurative and associative tools that mark the main components of the image are revealed. The concept of the linguocultural image of the country as a dynamic and diachroic semantic field is clarified. The article includes the description of the core of this field: proper names, different compounds, dynamics of the entry of certain units, and the role and place of proper names in the construction of the cognitive space. At last, the paper emphasizes the historical variability of the field in its configurations and structure.

The paper is devoted to the features of the functioning of the dominant verbalizers of ethical concepts in mass media, considered on the example of the words grace and gratitude . The purpose of the study is to trace the features of the semantic changes of words in modern use in comparison with their main ethical meaning. The article analyzes the data of the explanatory dictionaries of the Church Slavonic and Russian languages, establishes ethically loaded semes that unite verbalizers and testify to their exceptional value in the Russian mentality. The relevance of the study is determined by the analysis of the semantics of about 2000 uses of the words grace and gratitude in mass media, which made it possible to establish a common stylistic orientation - ironic and sarcastic - and the emasculation of the ethical load while maintaining the main denotative meaning. It is proved that the predominance of the material in the understanding of grace developed in the 20th century and is due to the denial of the religious picture of the world, which, however, does not exclude the preservation of ethical semantics in the internal field of ethical concept verbalizers. It was revealed that the ironic, sometimes anti-ethical inclusion of words in texts about topical issues levels their ethical significance and contributes to the spread of distorted semantics, influencing the value scale of native speakers, which is confirmed by a sociolinguistic survey.

The pragmatic coherence of stimulating and reactive messages in the Russian blog discourse is based on an open list of conceptual structures of a specific type, namely frames that project unison in the current interaction. It is proved that these frames are the essential parameter of the linguistic competence of representatives of virtual communities and are used by the initiator of communication and its respondents to reach agreement and find a common denominator for the initially conflicting points of view. Their implementation in computer-mediated communication is predetermined by both the formal capabilities of the Russian lexical and grammatical systems (discursive indicators), and the linguistic and cultural conventions that the interlocutors adhere to at one or another stage of joint deployment of the blog discourse. The initiator of connectivity is the respondent (including the blogger in the respondent function) during the construction of a responsive message. The pragmatic structure of these frames includes a foothold in the stimulating message and a staple that connects to this foothold in the reactive message. The elementary structural and semantic unit of the blog text, in which the unison in the opinions of the interlocutors is realized, is the dictative and modus unity of two directly adjacent or remote from each other stimulating and reactive messages. When designing a stimulating message, the blogger chooses dictal or modal propositions that best match his initial intention to establish feedback with a potentially wide range of like-minded respondents. Perceiving the blogger’s judgments, delving into the topic offered to them for discussion, respondents recognize the propositional content of these judgments, their dictative or modus predestination, as well as the goals pursued by the initiator of the interaction.

The article describes the associative experiment as one of the most productive methods of modern psycholinguistics. The theoretical works of Russian and foreign researchers on the theory and practice of the associative experiment in modern linguistics are reviewed. To illustrate the associative experiment, the analysis of the associative fields, formed by the reactions of the Russian-speaking respondents to the words of Greek origin is presented. The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that the authors make an attempt to study the peculiarities of the perception of borrowed words, using the mechanisms of perception of these or those concepts by native speakers, their evaluation and connotations. This seems interesting not only for contemporary psycholinguistics, but also for semantics, stylistics, cognitive linguistics and other branches of linguistics. The linguocultural value of the study lies in the fact that the experiment allows determine how a word of foreign origin, occurring in Russian, retains the charge of the original culture from which it came. The linguistic material for the study is the most common or typical Greek expressions from the poems of A.S. Khomyakov, a Russian poet of the 19th century, one of the founders of the Slavophile movement. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the language of A.S. Khomyakovs works is still understudied. The study of the Greekisms as a foreign cultural phenomenon in the texts of a Slavophile poet, whose philosophical concept is connected with "traditionalism" both in the understanding of culture and language, is of scientific interest. We describe the associative fields to the words-stimuli prophet and ether , using Y.N. Karaulov's methodology, which implies the consideration of associations from lexico-syntactic, morphological, cognitive, pragmatic and statistical points of view. From the linguocultural point of view it is important to identify the cognitive features of the perception of the stimuli. The experiment helped to discover that words of Greek origin continue to carry a charge of Greek culture, in addition, they have become an integral part of Russian culture, manifesting themselves in the minds of native speakers through association with Russian precedent texts. The analysis of associative fields made it possible to reveal the peculiarities of the perception of words of Greek origin by native speakers of modern Russian, and to compare the obtained meanings with those that the words had when they were written in the 19th century. The transformation of semantics, as well as the re-accumulation from one meaning to another, the emergence of new meanings, which corresponds to the historical development of words, are noted.

Russian blog texts are characterized by the fact that the respondent expresses opinions in order to convince the author of the effectiveness of certain ideas that cover his/her private life and professional activities. The respondent presents arguments in favor of his/her opinion, introduces the rationale for it, and at the same time indicates that the point of view previously expressed by the blogger is also relevant in the contextual situation under discussion. Rhetorical relations project conflict-free development of easy communication. As a result, the points of view put forward by the blogger and the respondent complement each other. It turns out that the same situation potentially generates both positive and negative emotions, and this is emphasized in the virtual communication based on the implementation of the phatic function of language. Rhetorical relations within the blog text help to combine different epistemic positions expressed by the interlocutors. In this regard, an urgent problem of linguistic research of Russian blog texts is to determine whether the interlocutors who exchange opinions and assessments form integral models of dialogic communication, based on which means of linking the stimulating and reacting messages are connected. This problem has not yet received proper empirical analysis in Russian studies and general language theory, although its solution, as we believe, contains significant implications for detailing the pragmatic specifics of blog communication. The aim of the study is to implement a structural and pragmatic analysis of rhetorical relations in blog texts, which involves identifying the dominant markers of these relations, their basic model and its variants. The goal stated in the article is realized through the following research methods: (1) the method of observation and interpretation of blogging while analyzing the peculiarities of the linguistic means of implementing connectivity; (2) descriptive-analytical (contextual) method-direct analysis of blog text fragments as a linear sequence; (3) a method for modeling rhetorical cause-and-effect relationships between segments of a single replica and at the level of integral dialogic unity in the blog text. It is concluded that rhetorical relations fix national and cultural stereotypes, which, in turn, determine the material and ideal scope of the degree of relevance of the addressees evaluation activity. When implementing such speech actions, the interlocutors take into rigid consideration not only the frequent and dominant cultural scripts of dialogic axiological performance, but also the relevant stereotypes of such activities that are set by the language system. The rhetorical relations between stimulating and reacting messages in the context of computer-mediated communication generate facilitate the processes of decoding the informative and emotional content of the jointly generated text and its implications.

The article analyzes color metaphors in the political terminology of the Russian language on the background of the Chinese linguistic tradition. It reveals the connection between the color and the political concept expressed by it; it studies the similarities and differences in the understanding of the color metaphor in the political sphere of Russia and China, which is a subsystem of political term formation. The color metaphor is analyzed from the positions of the theory of cognitive metaphors and the point of view of national linguoculture. The authors show that metaphor is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a cognitive mechanism, which helps people perceive the world and comprehend various linguistic worldviews. The color domain is believed to be one of the main cognitive domains in the language, along with the domains of time, space and emotions. It is also looked upon as an important carrier of national culture, playing an important role in the process of humanitarian exchanges between representatives of different nations. The color metaphor, as one of the productive ways in the system of terminology formation, is widely used in the political sphere. The metaphorization of color vocabulary provides a deep insight into the national cultural mentality and emotional coloring, which reflect the culture of the country in the social sphere. As long as political culture is an important part of national culture, the study of the color metaphor in the Russian political terminology in comparison with the Chinese linguoculture may contribute to the understanding of the Russian and Chinese political worldview and the development of intercultural communication between Russia and China in the political sphere.

The article analyses the principle of forming political terminology, which is a main way to enrich the contents of political linguistics. The definition of the term is clarified from the standpoint of linguistics, and two opposite approaches to its definition are considered. Considering the view of semiotics in term studying, it is emphasized that its definition is focused on the referential function and refers to one or another special area of knowledge. Studying the definition of term under the background of terminology means that term is a stylized symbol which expresses or clarifies a professional concept by diction or text. Based on these definitions, it is possible to consider some specific special concepts in the field of political terminology of the Russian language in terms of its structure and contents. The political terminology of the Russian language is a special group among the terminologies. In its structure, there is a productive model in the formation of terms and a significant number of borrowed political lexemes through. The content of political terminology reflects the totality of knowledge, covers all the fragments of modern political reality and demonstrates its uniqueness and generalization of the term. Particular attention is paid to the metaphorical nature of the term. The study of the terminology of the Russian language shows the presence of a large number of metaphorical phenomena, the presence of metaphorical models, metaphorical terms, which is a separate area that deserves further research.

The purpose of this study is to point out the components in modern Russian culinaronyms. This work also presents components’ characteristics as a theoretical part for naming food. We have used the qualitative descriptive method to find out the components included in Russian culinaronyms. The results of this study indicate that there are a number of components in modern Russian food names such as culinary group (gathering a number of components related to cooking), human, time, and freedom (or author component). Moreover, these elements can be identified with the help of different language tools. This research moreover reveals that one lexicon can constitute rotated component or doubled-component. The result of the study can be used by students and specialists in courses of lexicology and linguoculture. Besides, this study contributes to the stylistic features of culinary text type. This research focuses on systematizing components in Russian culinaronyms, introducing the new concept of ‘culinaronym component’ and its general qualities based on the combination of culinary and language.

ABSTRACT: Culinaronym, known as the linguistic term in Russian, represents the name of a dish, beverage, and floured products. Based on the relation with the onomastics, the culinaronym shares with them several theoretical characteristics. This article is devoted to the functions of culinaronyms on the basis of onomastic functions. Moreover, the purpose of the work is to determine the degree of their significance among themselves. The results of this study show that along with some functions, rehiring functions from onomastics, culinaronym also has its own function, such as culinary-addressing.

This article tries to represent the category of space in Russian culinaronyms from the perspective of linguistics. The study owns its relevance to thematicity embedded in the culinaronyms and the disclosure of their features through the concept of space. The authors analyze the formal representation of the category of space in the semantic structure of culinaronyms. The results show that the space in Russian culinaronyms is presented implicitly and explicitly, moreover, the space in Russian culinaronyms expresses the following representations: place, space, movement and “zero” place. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the space-related ideas, to characterize the relationship between cooking and space in the nomination, and to determine linguistic means for expressing the category of space in Russian culinaronyms.

The article is devoted to one of the consistent patterns in the development of Russian extraoccupational colloquial lexis—creating specialized words and expressions on its base. A brief explanation of the term “extraoccupational colloquial lexis” is given, extraoccupational colloquial and terminological lexis are differentiated, the essence of terminologization in the Russian language is described, the preference of the notions from extraoccupational lexis in forming specialized terminology in the aspect of its reception by a representative of Vietnamese culture is rationalized. As a result, the authors define the key problems of studying extraoccupational colloquial lexis: the possibility of expressing special notions with the help of only extraoccupational colloquial lexis; the importance of cyclic world view and the context of social progress in language development, including term formation on base of extraoccupational colloquial lexis.
