Abstract

   The relevance of this work is determined by the urgent need to find out clear structural and semantic parameters of business phraseology of the modern English language in order to prepare them for anticipated typological classifications in promising scientific projects in the near future. The work is devoted to the study of the quantitative and semantic characteristics of terms of phraseological properties with the structure of “noun + noun” in modern business English with the aim of (a) identifying the most productive grammatical structure of business terminology, which is — in view of the semantic transfer of the component composition — phraseological units, (b) identifying phraseological terms with a complete semantic transfer of compo-
nents and phraseological terms with a partial semantic transfer of components and determining their quantitative ratio in the modern phraseocon, (c) identifying the presence of paradigmatic relations in the studied language subgroup.
   The object of the research is phraseological terms from the field of economics, marketing, finance, credit, etc., extracted from one of the newest and most authoritative dictionaries of business English, i.e. the Longman Business English Dictionary.
   The subject of the research is the nature of the semantic transfer of the components in the combination of words, which served as the prototype of the term-phraseological unit in the studied sphere and systemic paradigmatic relations within the subgroup.
   In the process of selecting the object of research, the method of phraseological identification proposed by Professor A. V. Kunin was used. In the course of researching the structure and semantics of the selected phraseological units, the method of phraseological analysis and description, methods of analysis of definitions, were used.
   Conclusions. On the basis of semantic and quantitative analysis, the number of phraseological units of a given grammatical structure with a complete semantic transfer of the components and with a partial semantic transfer of the components, as well as their percentage, is revealed. The presence of such paradigmatic relations as synonymy and polysemy is also clarified and their percentage is determined.

Abstract

   The article presents the results of the study of the semantics of polysemical adjectives of the size of the modern French language at the level of paradigmatics and syntagmatics. When describing the structural composition of the analyzed units, the method of component analysis, as well as the method of transformation, was used. The analysis of the content of single-level units at the level of paradigmatics was supplemented by the analysis of their functioning at the level of syntagmatics. The proposed cross - analysis of the semantics of adjectives at the level of paradigmatics and syntagmatics as a method of identifying the proper semantics and the system of meanings of a polysemical word is based on the semantic proximity of adjectives united in one lexical – semantic group and the conditionality of their use as part of nominal combinations with nouns, the meaning of which includes signs of spatial characteristics. At the level of syntagmatics, there is a mutual highlighting of certain semantic features in the content of the meaning of both members of the noun phrase, which clarifies the meaning of a polysemantic adjective and expands the content of the meaning of the defined name. At the same time, the study of the content of a separate unit / or the lexical-semantic variant of the word/is carried out in parallel with the analysis of the relationships that are established between the units within the group. The study was conducted on authentic textual material using onomasiological and semasiological approaches. Explanatory dictionaries of the modern French language were also used as lexicographic sources. The reliability of the obtained results was also checked by interviewing native speakers of the French language, teachers of the Department of Lexicology of the French Language of Moscow State University, Moscow (formerly MSPI). Lenin). The result of the study was the conclusion that it is a comparative analysis of a sufficiently large number of lexical units describing a certain semantic space in its entirety that allows us to obtain an adequate description of the content of individual adjectives. A comparative analysis of the functioning of lexemes at the same time at the level of paradigmatics and at the level of syntagmatics allows us to solve the problem of differentiating different meanings of a polysemic word and the patterns of their use in nominal phrases.e content of individual meanings of adjectives. A comparative analysis of the functioning of lexemes at the same time at the level of paradigmatics and at the level of syntagmatics allows us to solve the problem of differentiating different meanings of a polysemic word and the patterns of their use in nominal phrases.

Abstract

   Relevance. Modern life is characterized by using information technologies in all spheres, which affects both communication process and approaches to its studying. However, as can be concluded from our experience, despite technologically advanced communication forms, the process is often ineffective, because students lack the skills to extract information from multimodal texts. Consequently, the problem of developing the skills for effective communication in the digital multimodal environment which depend rather on the skills of analytical and synthetic information processing than on the computer literacy skills, remains unresolved.
   The purpose of this work is to comprehensively analyze foreign studies on multimodality issues to reveal research and development trends.
   The objectives set by the authors involve collection, analysis, classification, and systematization of the foreign studies data on multimodality; clarification of the concepts of ‘multimodal text’ and ‘multimodal analysis’; identification of the multimodal analysis implementation techniques when reading/viewing multimodal scientific texts in order to increase communication effectiveness.
   Methodology. To fulfil the objectives set we applied such general scientific methods as acquisition and processing of information, methods of classification and systematization.
   Results. The results obtained showed that the issues related to multimodality are considered from different positions: multimodality as a phenomenon and as an approach to its studying; a multimodal text is a text which use several modes of communication simultaneously; the concept of ‘literacy’ is expanded to ‘multiliteracy’, interpreted as an ability to ‘read the world’. A multimodal analysis is defined as the analysis, search, and extraction of semiotic patterns in multimedia databases in order to explore the relationship between semiosis, text, and context, those patterns that reveal individual, social, cultural and global patterns of meaning creation. Practice-oriented studies propose various models for multimodal analysis implementation: J. Álvarez’s fourcomponent model, F. Serafini’s model, and a Model for Cultivating Multimodal Literacy by K. Danielsson and K. Selander. A number of authors analyze the work of students/children when reading / visualizing digital multimodal texts, but they investigate perception rather than methods of information processing.
   Conclusion. Thus, in the presence of an extensive multimodal communication theoretical and practical developments, the analyzed works do not provide algorithms for performing multimodal analysis. In this regard, the problem raised by the authors remains topical, and the research requires further development to improve learning process effectiveness when using digital multimodal scientific texts.

Abstract

   The article attempts to establish a motivational structure and for the value итэҕэл (faith) and its motivational significance. On the basis of the phenomenological approach to action as an active experience and interpretation on the basis of previous experience, the activity theory of attitudes, the activity theory of the two-way structure of motivation and the theory of speech activity, parameters are determined for the psycholinguistic analysis of the value success as an indicator of spirituality: the nature of the regulatory function; dominant emotions and assessment as a motivational basis for value; the degree of satisfaction and "strength" of motivational formations as the nature of the attitude; the nature and mechanism of the actual attitude associated with social value. With the help of typologization of the data of the associative experiment according to the selected parameters on the basis of an integrative model of psychological meaning, identified emotions and needs associated with итэҕэл (faith), as well as the nature of its role in identification processes; the resulting model of the actual personal meaning of итэҕэл (faith) is compared with the previously analyzed model of вера (faith); it is concluded that there are signs of value-semantic selfdetermination of the individual in speech actions associated with the итэҕэл (faith), which, together with the actualization of the ethnic component in the content of the conceptual component, indicate the importance of the итэҕэл (faith) as an ethnic value; there are no such signs in the content of the model of вера; psycholinguistic analysis of values reveals the specifics of meaning formation – the generalized “national” content of values, their consolidating emotional component, and its refraction in ethnic consciousness in interaction with the content of traditional values.

Abstract

   The article deals with comparative analysis of the peculiarities of the verbalization of the concept “daughter” in English and Russian folklore lyric poetry. The research of folklore lyrics allows to comprehend many phenomena of a particular linguistic culture such as history, everyday life and national character of representatives of a particular linguistic and cultural community. It is possible to recreate the folklore picture of the world analysing the art world of oral poetry works. The analysis of folklore texts conducted with the help of descriptive, comparative, field as well as computer processing methods, indicates the presence of vocabulary that manifests the concept “daughter” in Russian and English folk songs. The analysis includes the frequency of lexemes, their syntagmatic relations in the text, the place of the chosen concept in the folklore picture of the world that is an art reflection of of a certain community’ mentality, its worldview. The analysis is supported by examples from contexts using vocabulary that explicates the concept. The authors identified the basic structure of the concept “daughter”, its general and specific characteristics inscribed by means of both languages as well as the attitude to the phenomenon designated by them in both the cultures. Special attention is paid to the interlanguage comparison of verbalization means of the concept as while comparing the units of different language, the linguistic pictures of the world are compared, the manifestation of specific features of the linguistic consciousness of different peoples is found and most importantly, common, universal features are revealed. The article concludes that there is an ethnic identity in the verbalization of the concept “daughter” in the languages of English and Russian folk songs. The authors present their findings in the form of lexico-semantic fields verbalizing the concept “daughter” in two languages.

Abstract

   This article is a continuation of a series of publications on the results of the experimental study of the images of basic Russian color terms from the standpoint of psycholinguistics. In this work, we relied on the works of A. A. Zalevskaya [1] (psycholinguistic theory of the word), F. Sharifian [2] (theory of cultural knowledge), studies by E. I. Goroshko [3] and O. V. Safuanova [4 ] (works devoted to the study of color and color names), as well as on works on the study of phraseological units with a green component. The article proposes a complex study of the image of the Russian color term Green in the linguistic consciousness of the representatives of modern young people. Psycholinguistic methods (free associative experiment and semantic differential), linguistic methods (definitional analysis) and methods of statistical data processing (factor analysis) were used as methods of experimental research.

   The subject of the research is the image as a reflection of objects and phenomena of the material world in the linguistic consciousness of an individual.
   The associative experiments described in the work were carried out in different years. This, as well as the comparison of our results with the data of the Russian Associative Dictionary, made it possible to study the image of the color tern green in both the synchronous and diachronic aspects. In the course of the work, the gender difference in perception was shown. We also described the gender characteristics of the associative field of the Russian color term green and the dynamics of its change. The complex research technique used in this work is universal and can be used to study the images of various words in the linguistic consciousness of representatives of various languages and cultures.

Abstract

   The article “American political figures: idiolect” is aimed at classifying and analyzing idiolects of former American presidents using speech patterns of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Donald Trump as an example. The peculiarities of their speech patterns which include gradation, repeat and concretization as stylistic techniques as well as the usage of descriptive attributes and emphatic amplifiers are presumably based on the level of their education, social and party belonging. In this article we are going to use both possible ways of interpretation of the notion idiolect (its narrow and wide meaning) and we are going to analyze speech peculiarities of former American presidents treating them as language personalities. Despite some similarities of the stylistic techniques used by the former presidents-members of the US Democratic Party we can also trace some obvious differences characteristic for Donald Trump’s speech who is the representative of the US Republican Party. There is no room for doubt that the ex-president is an outstanding, extraordinary political figure that does not correspond to classic perception of a politician either in his speech or in his behavior. The usage of slang elements in his speech that are more typical for young people makes his public statements more emotional and different from other politicians. Nevertheless, he does not ignore standard for the Democratic Party members’ techniques such as gradation, for instance, to make his public appearance unforgettable and to produce a strong impression on the audience.

Abstract

   The relevance of the study is justified by the fact that schoolchildren’s language consciousness psycholinguistic specifics are studied in little detail.

   The research focuses on the studies of formation of cognitive structures in the language consciousness of a modern pupil studying the first foreign language. The material of the study is new as well. The latest scientific research on formation of mental representations considered mainly adults, consequently, the cluster of secondary school children (artificial bilinguals –  the term coined by V.I. Belikov and L.P. Krysin) is studied not enough, though the topic is essential in the modern scientific world. Relying on the experiments conducted by E. N. Guts and N. V. Antonova, in our research we aimed to unveil the cognitive structures in the language consciousness of a modern pupil. The material for the research was selected according to its relevance in printed press, in mass media, in speeches of political leaders, in the Internet. The following everysemantic words were chosen to act, to claim, to support, support, to deliver, delivery, to expose, exposure. The paper describes the results of the experiment within one verb to support. It is studied in the 6th form according to the curriculum for schools advanced in the English language. The paper looks at multiple meanings of the lexical unit and gives their complex analysis based on the comparison of the meanings envisaged for learning by the school children and those registered by the dictionary. The research was performed with the students of secondary and high school within various educational specializations. On the basis of the empirical data analysis some dominant trends characterizing the method of working with the word based on the language of the reaction as well as relating to the formation of the corresponding cognitive structure were noted. They characterize every educational level group. The grammatical relationship between the stimuli and the reaction was registered as well as the associative field of everysemantic verb to support.

Abstract

   The development of the export of education for Russia is of particular importance for increasing the competitiveness of the national economy in the international arena, especially with our strategic partner in foreign economic and foreign policy activities - the PRC.
   The purpose of the work is to study the prospects for the export of Russian higher education and the practice of Russian-Chinese educational cooperation, taking into account the promising directions of promoting Russian education.
   Methods. The method of analyzing documentary and legal sources was used to study the regulatory framework for cooperation between the Russian Federation and the PRC in the field of education; The statistical method was used to analyze the indicators of the export of educational services between the Russian Federation and the PRC based on the basis of The Institute of International Education, UNESCO Institute for Statistics.
   Results. Educational cooperation between the Russian Federation and the PRC is going on an ascending line, but the Russian Federation does not fully use the potential that Russian universities and educational organizations have (Rossotrudnichestvo). There is a need for state support for various areas of educational cooperation that can bring real income to the country.
   Conclusions. The mission of further promoting the ideas of educational cooperation between the Russian Federation and the PRC will be put into practice in the short term within the framework of the federal project "Export of Education".

Abstract

   The article focuses on the problems of professional formation through the development of skills based on universal competencies. Globalization processes reveal the problematic vectors of the educational system, making adjustments to the process of training of future architects, where the leading method is design based on intellectual activity aimed at developing semantic and qualitative indicators of objects and phenomena. Professional training of architects in general is focused on introducing to the component of the formation of the scientific picture of the world through the development of the processes of human creative activity, as well as the design of various material objects. The single reference points, on which the steps (sites) of the project activities are based, have been determined. It is necessary to understand that any project is preceded by serious research work, which involves an in-depth study of design systems and techniques, sources of creativity, and the expansion of the artistic language of architecture. It is this kind of work that forms a whole block of universal competencies of future professionals who influence the creative processes in the field of architecture and design. Students' understanding of the current problems of the history and theory of architecture in the context of modern processes in culture, society, and technology, rather than memorizing individual texts, becomes a promising educational vector that ensures interest in improving architectural science.

   The contemporary society imposes requirements on the education system and teachers who are considered as knowledge translators. Thus, a teacher should not just adapt to alter conditions but be ready to change and perfect themselves to align with the new status. Modern professional education should focus on the training of future teachers who not only know their subject but are highly motivated ones with a high value-based attitude towards a pedagogical profession. This idea specifies the relevance of the study. The process of value-based attitude formation towards a pedagogical profession must be controlled during a study at a university. The developed model showing the process of value-based attitude formation towards a future foreign language teacher was tested on students of the foreign language faculty. The practical implementation of theoretical and methodological issues is a pedagogical experiment on a real-time basis.

   Consequently, the purpose of the work is to study theoretical and practical aspects of a pedagogical experiment.

   To accomplish the purpose, the objectives were set 1) to study pedagogical conditions for practical implementation of the pedagogical model; 2) to analyze the data obtained. As the main methods, the theoretical analysis and the systematization of scientific researches, the method of interpretation and consolidation, were used. The results proved the validity of the developed pedagogical model and the hands-on training based on the model. The discussed pedagogical experiment is a part of a sophisticated experimental work on value-based attitude formation towards a future foreign language teacher during the study at a university.

Abstract

   Recently, mass communication media have an intense psychological impact on the attitudes of adolescents with not yet fully formed psyche, which is difficult to adapt to modern realities and exclude the impact of the Internet and social networks on their lives, as well as to choose media that are beneficial for the harmonious and intellectual development of the individual.
   The aim of the study was to study the influence of social networks on the formation of socio-psychological attitudes of adolescents.
   The article presents a theoretical analysis of the concepts of "social networks" and "socio-psychological attitudes", describes the functions and properties of social networks, and identifies the possible risks of the influence of social networks on the socio-psychological attitudes of adolescents. As a result of an empirical study, it was found that adolescents who spend more than two hours a day on the Internet, material, personal and creative socio-psychological attitudes predominate. For them, the leading one is the Self-orientation, which determines, as a priority, the attitudes towards rapid enrichment, the satisfaction of their own interests, and the achievement of their own goals. Social status and prestige are of particular importance to them. Also, this category of teenagers showed a tendency to increase the indicator of selfishness, a strong orientation towards money, for which you can buy any life, love and happiness. Also, empirical data were obtained that confirm the statistical reliability of the results that there is a direct relationship between the time spent by adolescents on the Internet (more than two hours a day) and the degree of severity of their negative socio-psychological attitudes. Thus, adolescents with predominant negative socio-psychological attitudes need specially organized psychological and pedagogical support. Psychological and pedagogical support of adolescents in the context of the formation of their socio-psychological attitudes under the influence of social networks and the Internet is a systemically organized professional activity of teachers aimed at creating psychological and pedagogical conditions that contribute to the gradual transformation of negative attitudes into adequate, positive attitudes that contribute to the formation of a healthy, harmoniously developed personality of a teenager.

Abstract

   The future doctor has quite high requirements for the level of professional knowledge, skills, and individual and personal qualities. For a doctor, it becomes important to form a professional and social culture of a specialist. One of the important competencies of a doctor is the possibility of social cognition and interaction in society with different categories of citizens, which is largely due to social intelligence.
   The aim of the study was to study the severity of social intelligence of medical university students.
   The article presents a theoretical analysis of the concept of "social intelligence", describes the approaches to understanding this phenomenon. As a result of an empirical study, it was revealed that the level of development of social intelligence of the majority of students corresponds to the average. Students are able to understand the motives of people's behavior through logical reasoning, can predict the behavior of others, are able to understand the meaning of verbal and non-verbal expression, on the basis of which they can show role plasticity. The most well-formed are the abilities to logical generalization, to identify essential features in various nonverbal reactions and patterns of the interlocutor, to understand the change in the meaning of similar verbal reactions of a person depending on the context of the situation that caused them. Despite this, difficulties in students manifest themselves at the level of integration of the abovedescribed abilities in complex, ambiguous situations, with a mismatch of the verbal and non-verbal context, and in the medical profession such situations are not uncommon. The profession of a doctor puts forward quite high requirements for the skills of effective interaction, planning, control and correction of their activities, often in a limited time frame for decision - making. Therefore, the formation of social intelligence already at the training stage is of practical importance.

Abstract

   State support, the allocation of grant funds, legalizing the concept of volunteering, increase the number of volunteers actualize exploratory activity in the study of this phenomenon. The development of professionally oriented volunteer activities helps in the professional development of the individual. However, there are various manifestations of mental burnout, which are reflected on the emotional level. The study of the emotional intelligence of volunteers reveals the possibilities of considering it as a factor in the onset of mental burnout and a resource for overcoming it.
   Thus, the study of the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental burnout of medical volunteers in a professionally oriented volunteer activity is the aim of the study.

   88 medical volunteers aged 18 to 23 years, studying at the Kursk State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia, took part in it. Observation and conversation, as well as standardized psychodiagnostic research methods "Professional burnout" (PV) (Russian version of N. Vodopyanov, E. Starchenkov) and "Emotional intelligence Emin" (D.V. Lyusin) were used to collect data. The processing of the results was carried out using the methods of descriptive statistics, comparative (nonparametric H-Kruskal-Wallis test) and correlation types of analysis. Significant and highly significant correlations between indicators of emotional intelligence and mental burnout have been proven empirically. The average values on the scales included in the interpersonal emotional intelligence indicate the empathic nature of the volunteers, their understanding of the emotions of their wards and the knowledge of how to change the mood background if necessary. The implementation of volunteer activities implies control over emotions, their understanding and timely elaboration in order not to harm the beneficiaries, which helps to find contact and build adequate relationships. At the same time, this can contribute to excessive control and accumulation of emotions, and, ultimately, to their uncontrolled manifestation and mental burnout.

Abstract

   An increase in the number of victims of school bullying in many European countries has led to a change in legislation: the appointment of responsibility for bullying (bullying) of a participant in the educational process.

   There is an active discussion in the pedagogical community in Russia about the problem of bullying in schools. Students with disabilities are at high risk of being bullied. In this regard, the aim of the study was to study the relationship between personality traits and the risk of bullying among adolescents with mild mental retardation.

   In this regard, the study of the relationship between personality traits and the risk of bullying among adolescents with mild mental retardation was the goal of the study. 43 students with a mild degree of mental retardation at the age of 15-16 years of the regional state general educational institution "Boarding school for children with disabilities No. 3" of the city of Kursk took part in it. Observation and conversation were used to collect data, as well as standardized methods for diagnosing the risk of bullying and personality traits, and for processing the results, computer methods of mathematical and statistical analysis were used. The results obtained are of practical importance and serve as the basis for organizing preventive and corrective work with predictable bullying. Autism of students with a mild degree of mental retardation, indecision and inability to make responsible decisions, shyness and stiffness in interpersonal relationships contribute to an increase in the risk of developing school bullying. An increase in the level of interpersonal anxiety increases interpersonal distance, ensures the uncontrollability of the group, which reduces the likelihood of stopping bullying in a situation of its development and determines the emergence of systematic outsiders and hierarchical and power relations.

Abstract

   The article presents the author's program of psychological support for addicts at the stage of their resocialization, based on the active use of approaches and methods of Gestalt therapy. This program should facilitate the return of people who have previously used surfactants to social ties and functions that have been partially or completely destroyed (family, work, profession, skills of healthy self-regulation and normal communication with others). The presented program was tested on the basis of the rehabilitation center «Vershina-Orel». The article describes the indications and contraindications to Gestalt therapy in terms of its use in the process of resocialization of addicts. According to the authors, the use of Gestalt therapy is appropriate when addicts are able to be critical of their behavior, are aware of the existence of addiction and are ready to take responsibility for the work of self-change. The article deals with some organizational aspects of the program of psychological support for addicts, the main stages of the program implementation and their content. The topics of group classes (psychological hours) with addicts are proposed. The authors point out the main tasks of Gestalt therapy dependent, it is possible to patients ' requests for individual work, consider the specifics of the application guidelines and psychotherapist Gestalt therapy in the context of resocialization dependent. A set of psychodiagnostic techniques is proposed, which can be used to study the effectiveness and features of the resocialization of addicts. The success of the re-socialization dependent as a result of implementation of the author's program of psychological support were investigated on a number of indicators of such generalized parameters of re-socialization as values and life orientations, characteristics of self-esteem and level of claims, aggressive behavior, and relationships. A repeated study of the studied indicators of re-socialization of addicts after the implementation of the support program revealed a positive, statistically significant dynamics in almost all indicators of resocialization compared to the results of the initial study. The obtained data demonstrated a sufficiently high efficiency of the presented program.

Abstract

   The article identifies and analyzes the features of the course of communicative conflicts in the field of civil aviation.

   The relevance of studying the problem of the emergence, establishing the causes and effective resolution of communication conflicts in the domestic aviation industry is that ensuring safe, efficient and balanced flights is the
primary task of any state. The reliability of the aviation industry depends on individual skills and knowledge of productively resolving communication conflicts on board an airliner.
   The purpose of this study was to consider such a phenomenon as communicative conflict in the field of civil aviation. One of the leading indicators influencing the reliability of air travel is the human factor.

   Knowledge of the causes and peculiarities of the course of communicative conflicts in the field of civil aviation contributes to an increase in the conflict resistance of the crew members, the effective resolution of disputes and, in general, ensures flight safety. The paper presents the results of a pilot psychological study, the purpose of which was: statistical analysis of the main problems in communications; identification of the leading causes of conflicts in the field of civil aviation. The methodological basis of the research was formed by the approaches: systemic, axiological, humanistically oriented. The research methods were the theoretical analysis of scientific research devoted to the problem of communicative conflicts of the individual in the field of civil aviation; organizational methods; empirical methods; questioning, testing, survey, psychodiagnostic methods. The data obtained from the pilot study indicate the need to draw up and implement a program of measures for psychological support and escort of aircraft crew members in order to resolve conflicts, reduce critical values of social tension and improve the psychological atmosphere of the workforce.
