РОЛЬ РУССКОГО ЯЗЫКА В СФЕРЕ МЕДИЦИНСКИХ УСЛУГ ИНДИИ
No full textThe last few years have seen the influx of a new kind of tourist to India — medical tourists, coming in search of good quality and affordable treatments for a variety of medical procedures. With a large number of patients coming from Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union, the demand for local people with knowledge of Russian is steadily rising. Through ethnographic field work, which includes participant observations and interviews, this paper traces the development of the use of Russian in large private hospitals in Delhi, which have started attracting patients from the former Soviet Republics for medical services. The aim of the present paper is to introduce a pilot study of a relatively new sphere of economic activity where commodification of Russian language is acquiring a prominent place in India. My goal is to examine how Russian provides an added value to these hospitals in terms of the clientele they attract and how well it works for the clients themselves. In addressing these issues the paper aims to reveal the specific conditions and processes that characterize the use of Russian in ‘medical tourism’ in India and the motivation of the personnel involved. The results of the study indicate that commodification of the Russian language in India is an expanding phenomenon

Активні процеси словотворення в сучасній українській мові: відіменникові дієслівні деривати
Get PDFThe article is devoted to the study of verbs with the suffixes -ува-, -и-, -і- derived from the nouns. Derivation being an active modern trend development of the Ukrainian language, the author proves its relevance and perspective. Denominative verbs were outlined and defined in different works by O. Potebnya, V. Yagych, S. Bevzenko, L. Yurchuk and others. The purpose of our research is to study denominative verbs as an active modern trend in derivational processes in the Ukrainian language. The object of the research is functioning of derivatives in the Ukrainian language. The subject of our research is the denominative verbs with the suffixes -ува-, -и-, -і-. To reach the aim we defined the following problems: to outline the denominative verbs with the suffixes -ува-, -и-, -і- as an active modern trend of the Ukrainian language in mass media; to study characteristics of this trend development and to determine what causes their formation
PHRASEOLOGY AS A CULTURAL COGNITION CODE AND SPIRITUAL HERITAGE OF OUR PREDECESSORS
No full textThe article is devoted to the actual topic of modern linguistics - the problem of studying phraseology as cognitive and semiotic layer of Russian linguistic culture. Its units naturally combine information about different aspects of folk life and its spiritual heritage. The aim of the article is to show cognitive, functional and semantic specificity of Russian idioms as cultural and confessional factors and operational units which form Russian phraseological world view. The material of the article are phraseological units taken with the help of continuous sampling method from established phraseological dictionaries and collections of Russian sayings and idioms. The key methos of the article is the descriptive method, but we have also used cognitive analysis, semantic modelling, interpretative analysis. It is for the first time when the analysis of phraseological units is used in a new branch of cultural linguistics - linguoconfessiology, while the phraseological units are considered as cultural and confessional marker, as a complex phraseoconfessionism. This aspect allows us to conclude that phraseological units are ethno- and confesionally marked structures and the result of world decomposition and categorization. The result of the research is the conclusion that phraseological layer of a national language presents fully and in a unique way the image of a national soul, shows civilization development of the ethnos and its ethical and confessional values, stereotypes, experience, wisdom, works out and implicitly presents the national way of world and life arrangement
Conceptions of Church Slavonic
Get PDFIn our time Church Slavonic is a “language without native speakers,” but it is not
in all respects a “dead” one. It is for this reason that the Slavs have given it a great
variety of names, the different use of which in philological publications heavily
depends on the respective linguists’ connotative purposes (e.g., national and ideological
interests and so forth). As a rule, the description of the language is based
on the analysis of written or printed texts. Only recently have a few additional
corpora been introduced in addition to the well-known group of “classical” Old
Church Slavonic manuscripts, which, for all their merits in the history of Slavistics,
can give only a vague idea of the rich language tradition of Church Slavonic as a
whole, since, as a means of actual (oral) communication, it can nowadays be observed
only in the liturgy. The article discusses the main linguistic conceptions
applied to Church Slavonic in the past and present (root language, i.e., proto-language,
common language, literary language [Schriftsprache], Ausbau language, etc.); singles out binaristic approaches in opposition to vernaculars; gives an overview of the numerous
varieties to be differentiated within the language (connected to regions, chronology,
functions, individuals, and groups); recalls the role of reconstruction in modern textbooks and the widely neglected construction devices used in early grammars and dictionaries; and, at the end, refers to the possibility of including Church Slavonic as a model for comparative judgments on degrees of diversity in the structural development of Slavonic languages
ОСОБЕННОСТИ ЯЗЫКОВОГО ВОПЛОЩЕНИЯ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЙ О ВОЙНЕ В ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОМ И ПУБЛИЦИСТИЧЕСКОМ ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ Л.Н. ТОЛСТОГО
Get PDFThe article highlights distinctive features of war representation that is considered to be crucial in artistic and publicist works of Leo Tolstoy. The concept particularity is manifested in the writer's lexicon against the background of the 19th stereotypes and conventions. It is stated that the inherent nature of the concept is encoded in words sumasshestviye (madness), zlo (evil), nasiliye (violence), and the idea gets its conceptualization by being denied, Leo Tolstoy considers it an unnatural power that contradicts human existence laws. However, in his early works Tolstoy used to appreciate people's war for liberation, which in his late works was totally rejected – the writer and publicist called it manifestation of evil and violence, his evaluation of patriotism in military actions changed to complete negation. The concept constituents and their linguistic representations are described and shaped in evolutionary mental and sign series. The article presents some fragment of the writer's worldview in which the war is seen as a consequence of state institutions activity. Being firstly stated in Tolstoy's literary works, it was then transferred to the publicist writings where he could openly and clearly express his opinion, and the writer's lexicon there becomes less figurative and elusive but more explicitly and direct

Disputes over the Pronouns Sei and Onyi (Russian ‘This One’ and ‘That One’) in the History of Russian Culture and Standard Language in the 18th– 19th Centuries
Get PDFUnder all circumstances, native speakers continue to evaluate the state of standard language during various stages of its existence. Reflection about written language composition, its rules, and its stylistic features can result in changes in at least some elements or links of the system. In the history of the standard Russian language, which had absorbed the Church Slavonic and Russian language environments, the Slavism issue has been causing disputes since the 1730s. Different attitudes toward Slavisms acquired ideological qualities; some of the most archaic linguistic units became symbols of the fight for freeing the language from the old, for its modernization, and for bringing it closer to the spoken word. The pronouns sei and onyi acted as such symbols for almost a century. The stylistic characteristics of demonstrative pronouns turn out to be inextricably intertwined with basic cultural oppositions: ours‒theirs, new‒old. The article utilizes well-known sources containing various kinds of speculations about the possibility and impossibility of using archaic pronouns, as well as sources that are less known or have not been used previously. This complex approach to analyzing one link of the language system is based on the close collaboration between the language and the culture during the evolution of the standard form of people’s language, and takes into account the influence of metalinguistic activity (expressed language reflection) on changes in the standard language

No full text“Two souls” as a philosophical-psychological and aesthetic phenomenon of transitional epoch (based on the Belarussian prose of the 1st third of the 20th century)
Every culture has its own set of tools that convey national characteristics. The universally precedent phenomenon of “two souls” is particularly significant in the artistic conception of the characters in the Belarussian prose of transitional epoch. “Two souls” presupposes duality of human nature; dialectic of good and evil, reason and feeling; mental peculiarity of Belarussian identity, its organic nature, including religion, social awareness of ambivalent reality, the contradiction between human and social, humanist and ideological aspects; an acknowledgement of traditional values in their complex combination with the internalization of new ones; type of conflict; symbolically very significant search of perfection and inner unity by a character, a neutral “territory” of resistance to dogmatic thinking; apology of cultural hero; split character. The concept of “two souls” is the artistic emblem of identity crisis and defines the peculiarities of time and space settings, color symbolism, character nominations, means of laugh culture in the works of M. Gorky, Z. Bedulya, M. Zaretsky, L. Kalyuga, etc. The conflict of day and “night” consciousness which marks the tragedy of the individual and testifies the misbalance of mental harmony as one of the symptoms of the social crisis is emphasized.
