Abstract

The research purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of ATLAS.ti application in quantitative content-analysis.
Procedures и methods. A potential spectrum of ATLAS.ti program for quantitative content-analysis is observed. The order of ATLAS.ti procedures on the example of article frequency analysis in Spanish text “Mensaje del presidente de México, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, con Motivo del Debate General del 75 periodo de sesiones de la Asamblea General de la ONU” is presented.
Results. Some quantitative facts about article frequency results in the text in numerical and percentage terms were obtained. The results were achieved applying ATLAS.ti program observed as a software tool used mainly for qualitative content-analysis.
Theoretical significance consists in functional potential determination of ATLAS.ti program for numerical aspects of linguistic researches.
Practical significance lies in a possible usage of the results and examples in different aspects of applied linguistic researches, particularly in glossary compiling (frequency dictionaries) as well as some grammar manuals of Spanish language.
Conclusion. As a result of the research special program application (on the example of ATLAS.ti) in quantitative content-analysis conduction for automatic data processing in linguistic researches is considered to be effective and rational for time and efforts saving achievement.

Abstract

In this day and age of globalisation and the development of contacts between countries, consecutive interpreting has a special role to play, which facilitates the emergence and maintenance of links between people from different cultures. Various interactions between peoples (political, economic, cultural, travel) are carried out through consecutive interpretation.
The purpose of the study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the quality of consecutive interpreting based on the emotional competence of the interpreter and to consider the role of the emotional-empathic component of communicative competence in the work of consecutive interpreters.
Methods. The methods of component and structural analysis, formalisation, and logical comparison were used in this article. Consecutive interpreting in different types of discourse – religious, entertainment, political – was analysed. As a result of the study, the nature of the phenomenon of empathy, its role in consecutive interpreting, as well as the influence of emotion-empathy interaction skills on the quality of consecutive interpreting were determined, and it was established that in the process of communication, the emotive component can be expressed through verbal and non-verbal means of communication. Verbal means of expression include vocabulary with emotional-evaluative connotation and a certain organised syntax of the statement; non-verbal means include intonation, tone of voice, interjections, gestures, facial expressions and eye movements, pause.
Conclusion. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that with the growth of the emotional component in speech, the translator faces new tasks: to recognise hidden and overt means of emotionality transmission, to determine them, and to make a translation decision - to convey (or not toconvey) them in the process of translation.

Abstract

The work analyzes the features of the language representation of the Russian cultural code in the minds of the youth socio-demographic group based on the results of a sociolinguistic study.
Nowadays, the concept of «code» is becoming a subject of study in various humanitarian disciplines as one of the means to understand culture. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the fact that the formation of the Russian culture code in the field of constructing national identity is one of the key features of the civilizational development of Russian society and the state in modern social and political dynamics. In the global world with its high degree of uncertainty and dynamism, the state and society are faced with new challenges, the main goal of which is the transformation of traditional models of functioning. The latter require adaptation to domestic politics in order to ensure the stability of the political system and preserve national unity.
The aim of the study is to identify the structure of language representation of the Russian culture code in the consciousness of a youth socio-demographic group (students of Kursk higher educational institutions of aged from 17 to 20), and also to determine the specifics of the verbalation of components of the Russian culture code.
The research methods are: descriptive, comparative, statistical, content analysis (method), definition analysis, questionnaire. The research was based on the answers received during the sociolinguistic study among 124 students of higher education institutions in Kursk.
As a result of the experimental study (work, research), the components of the concept of ‘culture code’ in the respondents’ minds were identified. During the survey, the structural components of the language (linguistic) representation of the Russian culture code in the youth environment were determined. It has been established that the most significant means of objectification of the studied phenomenon are tropes.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of reflecting non-specific and specific names of religious semantics in the Russian language picture of the world of the second half of the 18th - first quarter of the 19th centuries on the example of one of the main layers of the vocabulary of the Russian language – substances on -ia, -ie, marked as heading lexemes in the works of Russian lexicography of the civil press. During the study, methods of linguotextological, component, historical-etymological, morphemic and word-forming analysis, as well as a statistical method were used. In the work, the nouns of religious semantics on -ia, -ie are analyzed in word-forming, lexical-grammatical, semantic and historical-etymological aspects. The analysis revealed the ability of the analyzed substances on -ia, -ie to be related in word formation to different types of foundations, as well as the productivity and ambiguity of the -ijsuffix for this word production. This formant, as the study showed, could participate in the formation of substances of religious semantics of different lexico-grammatical categories that have a complex thematic organization. Most of these derivatives in the civil dialect of the second half of the 18th - first quarter of the 19th centuries. belonged to monosemantic two-root lexemes with Greek equivalents and formed from nominal and verbal stems. As in Old Russian and modern Russian, the bulk of the analyzed substances belong to abstract vocabulary, while the most developed system of names and a large semantic variety are characterized by derivatives with the meaning of action. It has been established that the nouns of religious semantics on -ia, -ie in their entirety form one of the significant layers of vocabulary of the Orthodox doctrine in the Russian language picture of the world in the second half of the 18th - first quarter of the 19th centuries.

Abstract

Purpose of research. The paper analyses a televised interview with the American presidential candidate D. Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) with the aim of revealing the role of conflict behavior of a TV journalist in deconstructing the semantic opposition “the leader – the led” which is regarded as the basic principle of TV interviews, and in emotionally destabilizing the opponent with a view to manipulating him into making frontpage news.
Methods. The main research method is structural analysis which reveals the role of the semantic opposition “the leader – the led” in constructing the communicative space of media discourse. Methods of linguo-stylistic and linguo-semiotic analysis serve to identify the role of verbal and non-verbal means in bringing to the surface the hidden emotions of the participants in the media event, and to identifying the contribution of emotional manifestations to deconstructing the underlying opposition and changing communicative roles.
Results. The article proves that in media discourse the situational semantic opposition “the leader – the led”, with the journalist playing the main role, can be reversed due to its conflict with the social status opposition, where the lead is played by a statesman or a politician. Deconstruction of the opposition “the leader – the led” can be provoked by the presenter’s aggressive behavior as he/she refuses to take into account the high status of the guest trying to trick him into some scandalous confession or statement.
Conclusion. The emotional field of the media space is structured so as to provide conditions for scandalous statements and unexpected revelations. Investigations into the ways of structuring the media space with regard to the means of its emotionalization is important for a deeper understanding of the underlying processes. This knowledge has practical value as it can be used in the course of preparing and holding interviews, debates, PR campaigns, and while analysing various social events.

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the methodological potential of military songs as authentic linguocultural material in teaching Russian as a foreign language at the initial stage. The aim of the research is the development and theoretical substantiation of a methodology for integrating military songs into the educational process for the simultaneous formation of students' linguistic, communicative, and sociocultural competencies.
The study employs methods of theoretical analysis of the linguistic and cultural features of the texts, a descriptive method for systematizing the characteristics of the song material, the method of linguocultural commentary to identify culturally marked units, as well as the modeling of a methodological system for working with a song.
The main result of the research is a three-stage working model (pre-listening, while-listening, and postlistening), which has undergone successful testing. The model includes a set of tasks aimed at mastering lexical and grammatical material, developing speech skills, and familiarizing students with historical and cultural realities. Techniques for working with historical concepts, symbols, and emotional-figurative vocabulary are demonstrated.
In conclusion, it is stated that military songs are highly effective for the initial stage of learning due to emotional engagement and involuntary memorization of language units. The significance of this material for deep immersion into the cultural and historical context of Russia, fostering respect for the country's traditions, and maintaining sustainable motivation among learners is emphasized. The materials of the article can be successfully applied in the practical teaching of RFL.

Abstract

The article actualizes the problem of developing a methodology for the formation of foreign-language text competence in students in the context of training graduates of the bachelor's degree in pedagogical direction to write research-oriented texts. The purpose of this article is to develop an algorithm for the formation of foreign-language text competence in the scientific field in students during practical classes in a foreign language.
Methods. The theoretical basis of the study was articles, scientific developments of research scientists on the issues of teaching text competence, methods of text activity, methods of teaching scientific style of speech. The study used the methods of structural text analysis and extrapolation.
Results. The authors present the formed textual competence as a manifestation of humanitarian education, as well as a means of mastering basic cultural skills, exploring the cultural and educational space. Mastering foreignlanguage textual competence in the scientific field allows students to carry out intercultural written scientific communication, contributes to the improvement of the general culture of speech, the level of textual analysis, writing foreignlanguage annotations, essays, articles. Particular attention is focused on the main errors in the production of primary scientific text (failure to comply with the rules of writing an article, the requirements of objectivity, brevity/completeness, clarity, accuracy; failure to comply with the generally accepted structure of scientific work, scientific style, terminology). The author defines the characteristic features of the linguastructural elements of a scientific and methodological article; identifies the stages of developing students' skills in writing linguastructural elements of a scientific and methodological article; has developed a set of exercises to develop students' textual competence in the field of foreign-language scientific speech.
Conclusion. In conclusion, it is noted that the developed algorithm for the formation of foreign language text competence in the scientific field in a future bachelor of pedagogical education provides for a gradual transition from an adequate understanding of the author's text to constructing one's own, from speech reproduction to the production of speech that characterizes the level of personality culture. The effectiveness of this algorithm is supported by the quality and quantity of tasks.

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of occupational safety promotion in order to prevent violations of safety requirements and minimize the risk of occupational injuries. The purpose of the article is to study the emotional context of occupational safety posters in order to achieve greater motivation for employees to work safely.
Materials and methods: theoretical analysis of scientific papers, comparative analysis, classification, generalization. Results. The various emotional contexts used in poster design can make certain responsive emotions in employees, thereby motivating them to the desired actions and behaviors. Recommendations are offered on how to create effective posters that take into account the psychological characteristics of information perception.
Conclusions. Occupational safety posters as a means of preventing occupational injuries are able to influence the viewer not only on a rational, but also on an emotional level. The motivational effect is the result of the influence of its emotional context on a person's motivation, achieved through carefully thought–out emotional coloring, which is designed to awaken a whole range of emotions in the viewer - from empathy and fear to awareness of the possible negative consequences of violating safety requirements, responsibility and motivation to comply with occupational safety regulations. The motivational effect of the poster. The motivational effect of posters is that they reveal potential dangers, thereby increasing motivation for safe work. Using different emotional contexts allows you to create posters that effectively motivate employees to comply with occupational safety regulations. To create the emotional tone of a poster, you can use the following techniques: emotionally charged images; emotionally attractive text; color palette, stylistics and compositions. To achieve maximum effectiveness, it is necessary to use a balanced approach that combines emotional impact with rational content.

Abstract

The research problem is to examine the contradiction between the standardization of measures aimed at developing university faculty motivation and the need to create an individualized approach to developing intrinsic motivation. The purpose of the study is to examine the motivational structure of higher education faculty.
The research hypothesis is that the creation of an individual teacher profile and the development of a set of corrective measures based on it will contribute to increasing the intrinsic motivation of higher education institution employees.
The individual motivational profiles of university faculty, based on empirical and theoretical evidence, are key characteristics in the development and adjustment of intrinsic motivation. The authors' scientific results are essential for teachers to understand the key characteristics encompassed in the concept of "intrinsic motivation" and their role in their professional work. For employers, knowledge of an employee's individual profile will help optimize the work process, taking into account the interests and capabilities of the teacher.
This article presents the results of an empirical study examining the motivational structure of higher education faculty. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of various perspectives on the classification of motives that influence professional motivation for teaching. They identified groups of factors that influence the personal effectiveness of both the teacher and the entire teaching staff.
The paper presents the results of a study of 60 respondents from the faculty of Southwestern University. The aim of the study was to examine the motivational structure of higher education teachers through a number of key components that serve as factors in motivational profiles such as «progressive», «regressive», «expressive», «impulsive », and «flattened».

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the level and nature of professional motivation among university teachers.
The article analyzes the phenomenon of internal motivation in the structure of professional activity among university teachers and identifies key aspects of work that determine the level of professional activity and job satisfaction among teachers. The article presents the factors that have the most significant impact on the formation of internal and external professional motivation among teachers, and identifies ways to optimize working conditions and stimulate productive activity.
Methods. We used the following diagnostic methods: "Multifactor Inventory of Labor Activity Motivation (MILAM)" by M. V. Prokhorova and O. M. Ovsyannikova and the questionnaire "Diagnosis of Work Motivation" (JDS) by G. R. Oldham and J. Huckman.
Results. The study revealed a strong internal motivation of university teachers aimed at professional development, interesting work and support from colleagues. At the same time, teachers have a high level of motivation to avoid failure, based on the fear of negative consequences and unfavorable situations in the workplace. The majority of teachers assessed the motivational potential of their work as average. Correlation analysis showed the closest relationship between this phenomenon and such labor characteristics as autonomy, feedback from work, completeness and significance of professional tasks, and diversity of professional skills. The study of cognitive assessment of the quality of labor results showed that employees do not sufficiently perceive their work as significant, valuable, and worthwhile, and do not see their personal responsibility for the results.
Conclusion. Constructive internal motivation is the foundation of sustainable and effective professional activity of a higher education teacher. Its maintenance requires attention from university administration, including the creation of conditions for creativity and personal growth. In an era of rapid changes in education, it is this motivation that ensures adaptation and progress, making the work of a teacher not only a duty, but also a source of deep satisfaction.
