The article deals with the questions of electronic literary text cohesion and coherence specifity. Development of informational and communicational technologies in modern world transformed the text materiality. Nowadays its basic categories relate mostly to the electronic communication features. Electronic text became significant in all spheres of human communication. This factor makes this phenomenon relevant for the research and educational options on the topic. The research materials include several electronic texts (based on different platforms and technologies such as Adobe Flash, Scalar, HTML 5) that demonstrate the use of conceptually valid poly-code elements in their semantic structure. The basic characteristics of the text (printed or electronic) are the categories of cohesion and coherence. The cohesion specifity results from dual (verbal and non-verbal) structure of electronic literary text. The author suggests that the structural aspect of the electronic literary text semantic cohesion is not isolated from the other types of verbal and nonverbal elements correlations because it is not semantic self-contained and complete. The semantic cohesion of electronic literary text poly-code elements is usually represented in both structural and identifying aspects.

The article deals with the cohesion specifity in electronic literary texts, which results from dual (verbal and non-verbal) structure of  electronic literary text. The research materials include several  electronic texts (based on different platforms and technologies such  as Adobe Flash, Scalar, HTML 5) that demonstrate the use of conceptually valid poly-code elements in their semantic structure.  The main methods of the research are general scientific methods,  such as monitoring and description in conjunction with the method of comparative analysis and complex linguistic and stylistic analysis of  literary text. As a result, the author concludes that the electronic  literary text cohesion on semantic level is represented in structural,  identical and indexing aspects. All of them are provided by verbal  and nonverbal elements of the electronic literary text. The semantic  unraveling of this or that main topic of the electronic literary text is  provided by the mental combination of verbal and visual elements in  recipient’s mind during the electronic text perception process. In this  case the poly-code paralinguistic elements enhance semantic resources of electronic literary text and emphasize its visibility.

Human Communication

The paper looks at the major technological, sociocultural and linguistic factors that are changing the nature of interpersonal communication in the Information Age, and some manifestations of these changes. Rapid progress of technology, above all, the advent of the Internet, brought about dramatic changes in the modes and parameters of human communication over the recent decades. New types of written communication arose and have firmly established themselves on the global scale – in social networks, chats, blogs, forums and various Internet communities. Having created unprecedented possibilities for connecting with people irrespective of their location, age or social status, innovative technology is at the same time challenging standards of communication ethics and speech culture. Sociocultural transformations in the modern society, democratization of social relations contribute to weakening of speech norms and deterioration of overall speech culture, especially among young people. The increasing role of English as a language of global communication and its reputation of the dominant language of new technology and virtual reality are inevitably influencing speech habits of the Internet users across the globe. The combined work of all these factors results in visible deterioration of speech culture, standardization and simplification of speech, elimination of cultural specificity, tendency to replace expressive language means with emoji, downgrading of style, defying norms of spelling, word use and grammar. Obvious irreversibility of technological progress and the growing share of life people spend online call on specialists from various related fields to continue comprehensive analysis of transformations of speech culture in the modern world with the aim to assess societal risks and work out timely and adequate countermeasures.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the transcultural literary text as a space for the “meeting” of languages and cultures. The modern world exists in the conditions of global transculturalism (F. Ortiz), when sign systems interact, giving rise to new images of the world. The language, which translates into a wide communicative space the elements of the original culture for the author, experiences its influence on itself. The literary text acquires multidimensionality and “convexity” due to the inclusion in it of alternative genre forms, narrative strategies and tactics, archetypes. On the basis of the novel series “Dreams of the Damned”, written by the Kazakh writer A. Zhaksylykov, we demonstrate in this work the mechanisms of “internal intercultural interaction” between Kazakh and Russian cultures, using the methods of hermeneutic commentary, mythopoetic and narrative analysis. We come to the conclusion that cultural content requires the creation of adequate forms of artistic representation. The result is the creation of new novel forms of depiction, the complication of the artistic images of the world and the strengthening of the empathic effect that a literary text can provide.

The article discusses the most common biological traits of a person by voice and oral speech to identify the announcer in the study of video, sound recording and linguistics. The article purpose is to review some of the social and biological traits of the announcer by oral speech, which are used in modern practice to obtain the most complete information about a person/his personality. The application fields of biological traits regarding human voice and oral speech in the modern world are considered, namely: in medicine (diagnosis of many diseases), law enforcement agencies (identification of criminals, crime prevention, etc.), in customer service banking, etc. The article outlines the possibilities of voice and speech forensic diagnostics in a modern technological society in order to determine the basic socio-biological traits of a person, since one of the most common means of communication between people is still oral speech. As a special kind of human communication, oral speech is based on the psycho-physiological functions of the individual organism and personality consciousness in the framework of a particular society. In order to obtain the most complete information about the studied object, there is a need to record traces on digital media (sound traces of speech). From the analysis of conducted examinations and publication on the study and systematization of biological features of human oral speech, the author of the article came to the conclusion that there is a need to further study these traits and integrate with automatic systems in the 21st century in order to not only provide the institute of justice with reliable examination, but also to use this knowledge in various fields of human life.

The research focuses on the study of the actualization of the concept MARRIAGE in the context of the linguocognitive and linguocultural paradigm. The article analyzes the means of modeling the concept MARRIAGE in the British language picture of the world, its content, structure and cognitive interpretation. The concept-cognitive MARRIAGE is considered in the direction of anthropocentrism with consideration of modern achievements of cognitive linguistics, and also the place of this concept in construction of the British national picture of the world is defined. In the English language tradition, this social phenomenon is expressed through the lexical-semantic field of the concept MARRIAGE. The composition of other basic concepts of linguistic consciousness largely depends on the concept MARRIAGE. The article presents the results of etymological analysis. It plays a big role in determining the typology of culture and the need for this analysis helps to establish the source of origin of the conceptualizer. The analysis of dictionary definitions made it possible to investigate all the meanings of lexical units of the outlined nominative field. This allowed us to understand the nature and types of semantic structure of words that belong to different semantic groups and semasiological subclasses, as well as to look at the epidemiological relations of the key. In order to describe the complex structure of the organization of a multi-valued keyword, the notion of lexical-semantic variant is used. Basic characteristics of the concept MARRIAGE are possible to be found in the dictionary definitions and the complex structure of the concept is defined as a field structure, that is: denotative central content with semantic nucleus, peripherality and connotative surrounding.

The article features the phenomenon of electronic literary text. The research objective was to identify the structural and semantic features of electronic literary texts within the framework of post-structuralism. The electronic literary text resulted not only from the development of information technology: it is also the product of the development of philosophical and linguistics ideas of post-structuralism. The post-structuralism perspective was not repeated exactly on the technological level of the electronic text representation. However, the post-structuralist text theory was reflected in the electronic literary text structure, i.e. its rhizomatic, decentered, fragmentary, intertextual, and simulation character. In particular, the attempt to build cohesion of semiotically diverse components in the electronic environment reflects the post-structuralists idea of chaos and disorganization. The attempt to provide the navigation in this multi-component unity by the key-word hyperlinks reflects the idea of the total interconnectivity of all structural components, i.e. intertextuality. The phenomenon of intertextuality defines the culmination of decenterment and nomadism in the text theory. It is connected with the rhizomatic concept and hypertextuality. The research used electronic literary texts based on Adobe Flash and HTML. The research employed general scientific methods, such as monitoring and description, in conjunction with the method of comparative linguistic analysis. The author concludes that the text perception and electronic virtual world immersion become much more important than the artifacts in the electronic literature of XXI century. The electronic literary text became the poststructuralist concept of the new esthetic object, lost its integrity and composition stability, and opened itself to external input.

The Middle Ages

We can always use critical studies that question both what constitutes a literary text in the Middle Ages and what form those texts have, as is the case with the essays collected by Robert J. Meyer-Lee and Catherine Sanok. They define form as “a historically contingent set of attributes defining privileged texts as literature so that the latter may serve particular social, economic, and political interests” (4). They hasten, however, and quite correctly, to warn us about the difficulty in being overly specific in light of the contingency of such formal criteria, which might undermine the entire effort here to some extent, even though they then emphasize again that the articles “meditate upon the question of the relation between form and the literary” (6), as it manifested itself in medieval and late medieval England, which is supposed to be the exclusive terrain covered here, thought that is not always true. Taking us back to this deliberate (?) seesaw, they then return to highlight that in the pre-modern world the differences between literary and non-literary were rather fluid (8). What might then be the focus of this book? The sub-heading of the book itself leaves us a bit puzzled: “Beyond Form,” so why does the introduction then highlight formality issues so centrally?

In this paper, the author discusses main characteristics of integration and globalization as economic phenomena. Basic characteristics of the contemporary wave of globalization were compared with the characteristics of the first wave of globalization (1870-1913). Two waves of globalization have important similarities. Ignoring of data from economic history became a source of myths about processes in modern world economy.

This article deals with the aspect of naming the perfume and make-up goods. Special attention is given to the specifications of goods names in the sphere of interacting with the nomination types. Perfume and cosmetic names are created involving primary and secondary types of nomination and simultaneously describing corresponding features, qualities and individual characteristics of these goods. In the case of a primary nomination, a motivation feature is designated with a word that has the basic meaning containing the indication of the motivation feature. Name meaning correlates with the reality which is denotated and causes the direct reflection of object features. In the case of a secondary nomination, the indication of the distinguished feature is realized through comparison or confrontation with another object having the same features. Perfume and cosmetic naming is realised within the frame of the naming complex. This complex contains two naming components: the individual name and the goods name. Functioning within one common naming complex, these two names influence each other. Perfume goods creating aromatic, fragrant effect have olfactory feature as their basic characteristics. It means that combinations of smell, scent, aroma, fragrance concentrated in aromatic solutions of different substances correspond to the essential requirements to aromatic liquid goods. The goods in the branch of make-up creating visual effect have colour and colouring as their basic characteristics. The process of secondary naming, when perfume and make-up goods obtain individual names, consists of four basic stages: (1) archseme fading; (2) seme displacement; (3) potential seme actualisation; (4) occasional seme formation. At the very end of these transformations, the individual name is turned into a semantic derivative, the product of a secondary nomination. The most frequent semantic derivation for creating perfume and make-up names is metaphorical transferring that is based on the feature resemblance of two objects which are not connected with reality. The semantic structure of individual names of naming frames is the reflection of the relation existing between objects of extralinguistic reality. It also reflects the results of the cognitive activity of a nominator. The process of the name functional adaptation takes place when the individual names create passing from the primary to the secondary nomination.
