LANGUAGE OF CULTURE
Culture can be considered as a peculiar language. It has a number of
features of a national language, thus by analogy with natural language
culture as a means of transferring social experience and communication
between people, can we call it language. The language of culture is a
combination of forms, symbols, sings, texts, etc. A community dedicated
to storing and transmitting information to a person, a group of people,
carrying this culture. The essential characteristic of the language of
culture is dialogcity. The language of culture fulfills its function only
when there is a subject who understands this language. Otherwise,
cultural phenomena: Symbols, texts, sings and shapes can physically
exist as objects in real time and space. But they will be deprived of
the original knowledge that they had and thus will no longer be
able to reform the function of storing and transmitting information
characteristic of language. In such a case, the language of the culture is
silent, it is not understood, and thus it no longer exists as a language.
Every culture has its own language. It creates a unique image of the
world and man, which in turn is reflected in specific forms of culture. In
order of the language of a culture to fulfill its function, it is necessary to have people who understand this language, thus understanding the
language of culture is essencial. On the one hand, the artifact of culture
consists of real-physical characteristics, on the other hand, there are
carriers of sense, an unreal dimension, it is the introduction of sense
into a natural fact that turns it into a cultural phenomenon. After all,
the phenomenon of culture diff ers from the fact of nature in that it is
the bearer of sense and meaning. In order for a person to be able to
relate to the phenomenon of culture as such, he must understand its
meaning. Understanding the sense requires knowledge of the language,
sings, symbols, forms in which the sense is encoded. Culture exists in
signs and symbols, and thus it is a peculiar language, in this sense,
culture is a language, the knowledge of which is a necessary condition
to understand the culture embodied in this language

SPEAKING/ FUNCTIONAL NAMES AND THE DIFFICULTIES OF THEIR TRANSLATION
Scientific literature mentions several ways of transferring proper
names from one language to another. These are transliteration,
transcription, transposition, borrowings and calque (S. Vlakhov, I.
Alekseeva, Kh. Beridze, A. Mumladze...). While discussing the peculiarities of transferring onomastic
vocabulary from one language to another, translation theorist and
translator G. Tsibakhashvili, in his book, “Issues of Translation Theory
and Practice” (2000), distinguishes several groups of names: first names,
surnames, pseudonyms, nicknames and functional names.
Based on the translation practice, G. Tsibakhashvili points out that
if the bearer of a name with a common origin is a historical or a real
person, the name is transposed into the target language following the
established norms. However, if the bearer of the name is a literary
character, while transferring, the sound form of the original is kept.
We disagree with this definition and believe that both types of names
should be rendered in the target language by preserving the sound
form and transcription/transliteration; for example, Ann- ენი and
not ანა (Anna), Kate – ქეითი (and not ქეთი (Keti) or ქეთო ( Keto),
Фёдор – ფიოდორ (Fyodor) and not თეოდორ (Theodor), Алекса́ндр
ალექსანდრ (Alexandr) and not Alexander, etc.
G. Tsibakhashvili also discusses the problems of translating
pseudonyms, nicknames and speaking names with additional functions.
According to his conclusion, a pseudonym should not be translated,
whereas a nickname should. As for the speaking names (anthroponyms,
toponyms), Tsibakhashvili maintains different approaches during
translation: a speaking name is translated, but a surname is not. This
is because, in the case of the translation of the latter, the nationalspecific image of the work changes completely.
The speaking/functional name is mostly found in fiction (mainly,
in children’s literature) and publicistic texts. It is a unique trope,
is stylistically marked and serves to create the personality of the
character. Thus, it has both semantic meaning and expressive-emotional
parameters.
To analyze the difficulties of translating speaking/functional names
from one language to another, we chose T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of
Practical Cats and its Russian and Georgian translations. It is noteworthy that there are many Russian translations of this book (incomplete: by
S. Marshak, N. Goli, S. Stepanov, B. Letarov; complete by V. Betak, S.
Dobovitskaya, A. Birger, A. Sergeev, I. Polyuakhtov and Y. Koval). The
text was translated into Georgian by Z. Ratiani and A. Kopaliani. In 2021,
Anna Kopaliani’s translation won the “Best Translation of the Year”
nomination for the “Saba” literary award.
Tomas S. Eliot began work on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats in
1934-35. The book was fi rst published with the writer’s illustrations in
1939 by Faber and Faber Publishing House.
Tomas S. Eliot’s book includes 15 poems. Each chapter has its
own title represented mostly by speaking/functional names (author’s
felinonyms or “variations on cats from famous poems and songs”): The
Old Gumbie Cat, Growltiger’s Last Stand, The Rum Tum Tugger,
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer, The Song of the Jellicles, Mungojerrie
and Rumpelteazer, Old Deuteronomy, Mr Mistoff elees, Macavity: The
Mystery Cat, Bustopher Jones: The Cat about Town... Each chapter of the
book is both an independent poem and an integral part of the text
structure.
Comparing the speaking names of T.S. Eliot’s book Old Possum’s
Book of Practical Cats and their translations (Russian, Georgian)
revealed that translators use different methods of translating names:
transcription, transliteration (implicit information is lost, in such cases),
partial and full calques (semes of the original text are preserved),
contextual translation and also, neologisms are created.
We think that when translating speaking/functional names, it is
necessary to preserve the meaningful and expressive information
embedded in them, preserving the national-cultural semantic
components

between goods and services. In case of modification of contracts, it is important to apply the rule to reflect the
requirements of IFRS 15 in practice. This requires the economic entity to identify the criterion for the
separation of additional goods and services – the possibility of receiving benefits from them separately.
• The content of the digital contract is a computer program and does not legally correspond to traditional
contracts. These contracts are "attached" to the traditional contract and provide for the conclusion,
performance and termination of the contract. Thus, a digital contract as a computer program should be
separated from the contract in that it facilitates the conclusion, performance and termination.
• Legal recognition of digital contracts requires the creation of a legal and legislative environment that
automates the process of drafting, concluding, performing and enforcing legal contract

economists develop simple economic models by abstracting from reality. These models have some
mathematical foundations and encompass only the necessary characteristics of the market. The study
discusses the theory behind the development of such models and the problems encountered in the process. As
no model describes reality perfectly, the question is to tell whether a model is good enough. Moreover, the
study discusses a new method of conducting empirical research by utilizing experimental data, where
economists try to find natural experiments and show causal relationships between variables
The Tomb of Giorgi Kazbegi (1839-1921) has been traced in Istanbul
The tomb of Giorgi Kazbegi, a prominent public figure,chairman
of the Society for Spreading Literacy among Georgians (1908-1921), a
graduate of the General Staff of the Russian Empire, lieutenant general,
writer and scientist, has not been known until recently.
The Georgian National Academy of Sciences, National Agency for
Cultural Heritage Preservation and Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University
have sent a team of scientists to the Republic of Turkey,Istanbul
to find the lost grave of Giorgi Kazbegi. The search team shifted all its
attention to the Greek Orthodox necropolis in Shishli. With the help of
Father Demetrios, the pastor of the church of the Transfiguration, we
have traced the book of the dead which is now kept in the archive of the
Greek Orthodox Church of St.Mary.
The entry in the Latin alphabet of the book informs us: Giorgi
Kazbegi died on March 24, 1921.Funeral expenses №15674 in accordance
with the receipt in 540 kurush (at a modern exchange rate -approximately 250 Euros) as it should not seem surprising , paid by Consulate
of Soviet Russia. Unfortunately, in 1924 due to nonpayment of maintenance
and care costs for this №519 grave, the body of Giorgi Kazbegi
was transferred to the collective grave

In the twenty-first century, the phenomenon of crime and criminality is still unexplained. There are many biological, psychological and sociological theories on the problem of crime and criminality in criminology. Modern criminology has also applied an integrated method of theories and concepts. However, this approach has not yet yielded positive results, as the criminogenic situation in the world is becoming increasingly dangerous; new forms of crime are emerging and the scale of crime is increasing. Taking into consideration the given setup, the Hamartiology, the Christian doctrine of sin, is gaining importance as sin is considered to be the source of all negative events in general, including crime and criminality.
The present article expolres the transcendental and features of sin in the legislative and criminological concepts of crime and criminality. It turns out that both categories are conceptual forms of sin, which, from a scientific viewpoint, allows the concepts of crime and criminality to be shaped in a completely “new” manner

David Kldiashvili’s Character Names
ეძღვნება თსუ-ს ემერიტუს პროფესორ ლელი ბარამიძის დაბადებიდან 90-ე წლისთავს/ Dedicated to the 90th Birthday of Emeritus Professor of TSU Leli BaramidzeIn classical literature the choice of character names does not seem to be an
automatic, easy process. This is the case with David Kldiashvili’s works as well. Unlike E.
Ninoshvili and G. Tsereteli, David Kldiashvili does not employ any telltale names in his
writings. At first sight, the character names evidenced in his works are ordinary, widespread
Christian names encountered in Imereti region of Georgia: Platon, Kirile,
Aristo, Jimsher… Melano, Elene, Dariko; the family names also sound realistic: Samanishvili,
Miminoshvili, Bregadze, Kamushadze… Thus, picking a specific Christian or
family name for a character does not seem to be essential for D. Kldiashvili. However,
the study of the writer’s manuscripts has proved the opposite: in the process of creating
his works the author often changed character names, he seemed to be in constant
search of suitable names for them. In this reference, Sergo Kldiashvili’s (David Kldiashvili’s
son) memoirs on one of the stories -“Solomon Morbeladze”, are of particular
interest: David Kldiashvili told his son: “I had the plot of the story, but I couldn’t decide
on a name for the main character; that troubled me and hindered me from finishing the
story.” At that time, it happened so, that he heard the family name Morbedadze, that
according to D. Kldiashvili struck him “as a surprise, I modified Morbedadze to Morbeladze,
the family name ‘dragged’ the Christian name Solomon, and the story was
written with ease. It was not just work but a true pleasure!’ It is difficult to say why the
family name Morbeladze ‘dragged’ the Christian name – Solomon, or why the writer
considered this pair to be a perfect match for his character.
Obviously, David Kldiashvili tries to fit names to his characters on the basis of their
personal qualities; as the writer suggests: every character should have “a name of their
own and not a borrowed one”. The given phenomenon triggers a number of questions;
is it plausible to answer them or find any explanation to the above-said? Presumably,
the answers are known to the author…or, more convincingly, to the one “who grants us
inspiration” (Anna Kalandadze)

migration should be noted. Restrictions caused by COVID-19 pandemic had negative impact on effectiveness of
educational process. Educational process has partially or completely shifted towards distance learning.
Distance learning is a new challenge not only for Georgia, but for the world. Experience for pandemic
management is non-existent. Hence, health and especially educational sector were unprepared for COVID-19
pandemic. Having insufficient computer equipment as well as inadequate amount of digital technologies are one of
the main challenges for the educational sector. Access to high quality internet is a big problem in rural areas.
Which was most negatively reflected in the education sector. The quality of learning has declined during distance
learning
