THE RUSSIAN CONSTRUCTION CHTO X, CHTO Y: ISSUES IN ITS SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS
Full text linkThe Russian coordinative construction chto X, chto Y ‘whether X or Y; both X and Y’ merits
attention for several reasons: first, due to the absence of systematic corpus-based studies
of its use; second, due to the lack of clarity as to the composition of its meaning from
those of its parts, including chto itself, which has a multitude of uses in Russian; and finally,
due to the complexity of the relations between the multiple uses of chto. This paper
undertakes a quantitative study of the construction in the main corpus of the Russian
National Corpus, establishing the emergence of purely conjunctive uses on a par with pre-existing free choice uses and embedded alternative question uses, which appear to
be going out of use. Further, I interpret free choice uses as an instance of the unconditional
(concessive conditional) construction known from the literature to be segmented
into two clausal parts and to involve no overt conditional complementiser, just as Russian
uses in question behave. Basing on this observation, I suggest that the three kinds of uses
share the same semantics of the construction, i. e. the alternative set {X, Y}, and show
how the meanings of three requisite types can be derived from it. Finally, the connection
between chto and alternative set formation calls for a new look on the relation between
pronominal and complementiser uses of chto where the emergence of the latter is mediated
by a stage at which the pronominal chto occupies a projection associated with
clausal polarity. Refs 20.Исследование выполнено при поддержке РНФ, проект № 19-78-10048,

RIDDLES ABOUT CELESTIAL OBJECTS AND NATURE PHENOMENA IN СOLOMBIAN LINGUOCULTURE
Full text linkThe article presents a study of the seven most common images of nature phenomena
in folklore (the sun, the moon, the stars, the day, the night, the wind, the rain) in Colombian
riddles. The riddle is one of the oldest genres of oral folk art, a means of preserving cultural memory, educating ingenuity and creative thinking. The article reflects the stages
of the development of Colombian riddles from the appearance of the enigmatic genre
in Europe, the popularization of the riddle in Spanish, its export to the New World to
the acquisition of national-specific Colombian features that accumulated the features of
European, Indigenous and African cultures. The material of the article was about 300 Colombian
riddles, most of which were taken from collections of traditional riddles of the
departments of Colombia; riddles posted in Colombian Internet sources. The article also
presents the results of a linguistic experiment conducted among Russian and Colombian
youth to solve Colombian riddles in Spanish. The main research methods are semantic,
interpretative, linguoculturological analysis, cultural commentary. The main objective of
the article is to analyze the ethnolinguistic features of the figurative representation of
nature in the Colombian linguoculture, as well as to find out how modern youth understands
the metaphorical description of natural phenomena in riddles. The article finds
that the Colombian riddles combine traditional Spanish cryptic texts and the realities of
everyday life, cultural and religious associations peculiar to Colombia. Refs 8

National qualification systems and remuneration systems: Features of the legal relationship
No full textStarting in 2007, the Russian legislator radically changed his approaches to wage regulation,
and eight years later he began to reform the processes of training and advanced training of personnel. However, in the process of law-making, contradictions were revealed in the definitions
and content of individual innovations. The legal conflicts that have arisen have already
created or may create problems related to the reasonable application of various elements of
the national qualifications system in labour relations. For example, the establishment of requirements
for the qualification of an employee based on professional standards may lead to
unjustified intensification of labour, the introduction of unjustified work and rest regimes,
and a reduction in wages. The analysis of these processes is reflected in this article. In addition,
theoretical and practical problems of establishing and improving the professional skills
of employees and their remuneration have been resolved. Special attention is paid to the introduction
into practice of elements of the national qualifications system and wage systems. A
comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the stated problems makes it possible to identify
patterns of interaction between qualification and salary systems, to show their current state
and directions of subsequent development. A lot of authors’ ideas about amendments and
additions to the current legislation and law enforcement practice are given. The article uses
extensive regulatory material, including international legal documents, federal and regional
legislation, departmental legal sources, the results of the rule-making of social partners and
local regulations. The article analyzes the judicial and local practice of applying labour legislation
when using professional standards, skill levels, forms, systems and wages
Labour market and employment in the post-pandemic reality: Fault lines and vectors of development (review of the 6th St Petersburg International Labour Forum)
No full textThe article is an analysis of the results of academic events held within the framework of the 6th
St Petersburg International Labour Forum, held on March 14–18, 2022.The attention of the
forum participants was focused on changes in the functioning of the labour market and new
forms of employment in the post-pandemic period. The new socio-economic reality brought
to life by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which are associated with the breakdown
of traditional economic and social ties in conditions of isolation and migration restrictions,
has significantly changed the sphere of work. This requires prompt decisions to restore
employment, to introduce new forms of employment, to analyze the impact of modern types
of work and the changed conditions of its implementation on labour relations and the quality
of life of the population. To implement the solutions found, it is necessary to change legislation
in various spheres of public life, change the ways of implementing management decisions
and, in general, changes in state policy on the labour market and in the field of employment.
Within the framework of the Forum, recommendations were developed on more than 50 sites
for public authorities, businesses, educational organizations, and the scientific community
on improving the functioning of the labour market and its adaptation to new post-pandemic
conditions, including on improving labour legislation and legislation regulating economic activity,
on improving law enforcement practice in this area, on accounting the impact of digitalization
on various areas of public life, including to protect against interference by foreign
companies in the digital sphere, under a reasonable restriction on the use of social networks
for commercial purposes. Special attention was paid to informal employment and measures to
control its expansion. Priority directions of scientific research in the field under consideration,
as well as measures to improve the quality of management activities are proposed
Информационно – аналитические модели организации трудовых процессов / аудиокнига
No full textПереход отечественных предприятий и организаций к регулированию трудовых отношений с сотрудниками на основе действующих профессиональных стандартов по-прежнему остается очень сложной и многообразной задачей. Трудности, возникающие в процессе такого перехода, вызваны не столько новизной возникающих при этом проблем, сколько недостаточной проработанностью целого ряда вопросов методического характера. Устранению подобного несоответствия может, по мнению авторов, способствовать широкое применение методов построения информационно - аналитических моделей, основанных на функциональном анализе содержания должностей и регламентации управленческого труда
The doctrine of the Image of God by Archbishop Feofan (Prokopovich) and Amand Polyansky: The comparative analysis
No full textThe article is devoted to the analysis of the doctrine of the image of God by Archbishop
Feofan (Prokopovich) and the reformed theologian Amand Polyansky. The
main engine of church reform, Archbishop Feofan, was repeatedly accused of Protestantism,
while others considered his position Orthodox and believed that he used
the works of Protestant authors to build his position. The anthropocentrism of the
New time has posed new questions to theology that require answers and an appropriate
reaction and development of the anthropological provisions of the Christian
doctrine. In this era, there is a surge of appeals to the teachings of St Augustine, on
which both Protestant and Catholic authors relied. At the same time, the assessment
of the Synodal period largely began to be based on the concept of the Western
influence of Russian theology. There is no doubt that there was an influence of
Western theology on the Russian tradition, but it seems premature and unreasonable
to unequivocally negative assessment of this period, which is little studied in
the scientific literature. An assessment of this period becomes possible when referring
to its origins. Using the example of a narrow section of the anthropology of
Archbishop Feofan (Prokopovich), the doctrine of the image of God, it is proposed
to compare his theological positions with the provisions of Amand Polyansky, the
proximity to which has been repeatedly noted by researchers both modern and prerevolutionary
researchers
How to measure spirituality? Review of new methodologies in the research of spirituality
No full textInconsistency of the universal character of the theory of secularisation and the increasing
presence of religion in social life has resulted in a new paradigm in sociology
of religion, according to which religion has not been losing its social significance
but has been transforming. Religiousness and spirituality are being differentiated,
with the latter often being a wider construct that also includes religiousness. The
article presents an analytical review of some of the new approaches and measuring
scales published in “Assessing Spirituality in a Diverse World” in 2021 under the
editorship of A. L. Ai, P. Wink et al. These scales are specifically interesting for the
further application of the methods to multidimensional research of students’ spirituality.
During the research the concept of ‘spirituality’, widely used in educational
field, was specified within new paradigms in sociology and psychology of religion;
and three of the most recent approaches in the study of spirituality including research
of ‘new’ spirituality, (non)religiosity/ (non)spirituality, and spirituality as an
aspect of meaning in life were analysed. The analysis shows potential strengths and
weaknesses of the showcased measuring instruments. Review of the recent western
theories and methodologies in the study of spirituality, developing within the field
of sociology and psychology of religion, enriches interdisciplinary knowledge exchange
and invites researches from other fields of humanities to test existing western
methodologies in Russian context.The article was prepared with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research,

context of polyconfessionalism: Theological and psychological-pedagogical approaches”
Computer games in legal research: On the prerequisites of the regulation model
No full textGames in general and computer games in particular have long been a subject of research in
legal research starting from the focus on the analogy between law and games (known inter
alia from the works by A. Ross). However, by the beginning of the 21st century computer
games and, above all, multiplayer computer games (virtual worlds) became an independent
subject of legal research, both because of the interest in private legal problems and based on
the methodological premise in the spirit of L. Lessig, according to which the study of the legal
dimension of multiplayer game worlds, just as it was earlier with the Internet, can provide new knowledge about the law in general. Computer games are a commercially successful type of
media, reflecting the acute problems of “digital law” and one of the significant theoretical and
legal problems of determining the reasonable limits of law intervention in “non-serious” or
“virtual” relationships. To understand the peculiarities of computer games, including for the
purposes of legal research and improvement of the model of legal regulation, a broad interdisciplinary
view that takes into account the approaches developed in media studies (M. McLuhan,
L. Manovich et al.) and in studies of games as such (J. Huizinga and R. Caillois et al.).
As a result, computer games can be considered as a kind of new media the qualities of which
are reflected in their main legal qualifications — as the results of intellectual activity, information,
means of communication and, actually, games. These qualities can be considered as basic
for the development of the model of regulation of computer games and the game industry,
taking into account the balance of interests of developers, publishers and the game community,
as well as taking into account national interests.This article was prepared with financial support from the Russian Science Foundation (RNF), project
