The article is aimed at proving that evaluative units display a semantic shift from more concrete to more abstract meaning. Evaluative lexemes are known to include a denotative (more concrete) seme and an evaluative (abstract) seme. In the process of usage, the denotative seme is suppressed and the lexeme acquires purely evaluative meaning. In the process of “name calling”, “bad” words lose their denotative element and become pure invectives. The denotative seme may not even be known to the speaker. The loss of denotative meaning may occur in the process of word borrowing. Latin “paganus” – a rural dweller – came to mean “pagan” in European languages and the word “поганый” in Russian means just “bad”.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128294469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If in the past the local government saw itself as a nonprofit organization that served the community, the reform in the water industry converted the community activity of the municipal sector into a totally capitalist business operation. In the first years of the establishment of the State of Israel, it was clear that the State had to provide water to its residents as a source of livelihood and a basis for agricultural development and the conquest of the wilderness, but today in the era of privatization the precious resource, water, has become a “product” from which economic benefit can be derived and which can even be traded. The local governments acquire water “to the city gate” and then they sell it to the city resident at a high mark-up, with the addition of VAT, when the difference goes to the Water Corporations. The neoliberal approach has reached a basic product such as water, without distinction between the socioeconomic situations of people, while placing the burden on the resident. Many Investigation Committees on the topic of the water sector have noted the improper management of the government, which does not prioritize alternative solutions such as desalination, use of treated wastewater, and re-use of water for industry and agriculture. Instead, dozens of water corporations have been established to be used as collection agents and to place the economic burden on the citizen’s back.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"231 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120968931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paraparental care is a new phenomenon in the modern man life, which defines the specific care of children with parents who are labor migrants. In the interim essential are a group of other issues related to the socio-pedagogical peculiarities of this care. The objective of this article is to study the influence on young people of this specific care. The research is based on the qualitative methodology and is realized by means of the semi-structural interview. My expectations are pointed towards the absence of the parent(s) which is the main cause of changes in children’s social maturity. In this critical situation, the respondents point out that they have personal qualities that have not yet demonstrated – assertiveness, self-analysis, responsibility, etc. In general, there is a need to support children in a situation of paraparental care with the help of important family members (when possible) and by competent professionals to work in a preventive and corrective plan with children and adolescents within the family and, if necessary, outside.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125455693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
