{"title":"Soul — Anguish — Perfection: Oscar Wilde’s Dialogue with Kropotkin and Dostoevsky","authors":"S. Koroleva","doi":"10.47388/2072-3490/LUNN2020-52-4-112-126","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47388/2072-3490/LUNN2020-52-4-112-126","url":null,"abstract":"Much has already been said about the ‘Russian theme’ in Oscar Wilde’s works. Yet the question concerning Russian sources of the motifs of anguish and the soul’s way to perfection has not yet been cleared up sufficiently. The article aims at defining the particular character of appropriating Petr Kropotkin’s philosophy of anarchism in Wilde’s works in the context of its reference to the notions of ‘Nihilism’ and ‘self-sacrifice’, and through them, to Dostoyevsky’s novels. The basic material of the research is Wilde’s essay ‘Man’s Soul under Socialism’ and his early play ‘Vera; or, The Nihilists’. The key method used in the research is comparative analysis (in the way it is used in comparative literature). The author argues that in these texts, the motifs of Christian self-sacrifice and anguish bring Nihilism (understood as Kropotkin-style anarchism) together with the spiritual psychology of Dostoyevsky and that the way to inner perfection in Wilde’s philosophy of individualism is connected with the concepts of soul, man, and society the writer formulates based on Kropotkin and Dostoevsky. Bringing the notion of ‘soul’ close to the notion of ‘socialism,’ defining Christ as a perfect personality, treating pain and anguish in contemporary society as a way to this sort of person-ality, and opposing inner feelings to outer morals, Wilde combines the philosophy of individ-ualism with the pathos of Kropotkin’s doctrine of anarchism: moral, even Christian at its core. He also adheres to the idea of resurrecting inner morals through anguish and compassion: the idea he appropriated from Dostoyevsky. As a result, in Wilde’s essay the doctrine of individ-ualism turns into a doctrine of the soul’s natural Christianity (holiness) and of resurrection in perfection through a ‘true Socialism.’ In Wilde’s play ‘Vera; or, The Nihilists’ the motifs of personal love and social pain, connected with social disorder and common unhappiness, con-stitute the very image of contemporary man’s way to personal perfection that is philosophical-ly described in his essay nearly ten years later.","PeriodicalId":151178,"journal":{"name":"Nizhny Novgorod Linguistics University Bulletin","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125514964","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}

{"title":"Axiological Aspects of Stylized English Communication: Developing a System of Positive Evaluation Language","authors":"I. Starostina, A. Kharkovskaya","doi":"10.47388/2072-3490/LUNN2020-52-4-66-80","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47388/2072-3490/LUNN2020-52-4-66-80","url":null,"abstract":"Positive assessment in English communication performs a fundamentally significant function, linking informative fragments, contributing to the productive development of communication, and supporting the principle of communicative cooperation. The choice of positive evaluative language, as well as auxiliary means of modeling the positive evaluative potential of an utterance, often determines the success of the communicative situation. The aim of the study, the results of which are presented in the article, was to systematize English positive evaluative remarks with subsequent qualitative and quantitative analysis of frequency of lexical axiological markers and expressive syntactic constructions in the context of the discourse parameters in the stylized communicative space. The material of the research is presented by positive evaluative utterances within the framework of stylized English communication, represented by the drama discourse. Despite a certain artistic transformation of colloquial speech in the context of drama, the latter reliably reflects the general use of evaluative structures in everyday speech, since stylized communication borrows the most typical from the natural and fixes it in the most common form. The study has enabled the authors to develop a system of positive linguoaxiological markers, which includes three classes of linguoaxiological means, depending on their belonging to the language level; as well as functional and semantic potential of positive-evaluative linguistic means in terms of discourse analysis. Special attention was paid to the linguistic means of intensifying and de-intensifying the evaluative potential of a remark, which allows communicants to model an expressive message plan depending on the discursive characteristics of the communicative situation. Thus, the analysis of the positive evaluative aspect of stylized English communication made it possible to fully represent the entire range of positive evaluative means that communicants have, which provides an opportunity to express not only a general positive view of the object, but also to convey the nuances and shades of evaluative attitudes. In this regard, the presented algorithm of research analysis can be used for further systemic studies of axiological parameters of other discourse practices.","PeriodicalId":151178,"journal":{"name":"Nizhny Novgorod Linguistics University Bulletin","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122836679","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}

This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of reflective learning in terms of contributing to students’ professionally oriented foreign language competence as well as certain personal qualities and soft skills. In the course of the research, we organized several homogeneous groups of students, experimental groups and control groups, building the language training of the students in the experimental groups on the principles of reflective learning and integration of in-class and out-of-class work. In these groups, the content and communicative activities were designed in such a way that students acquired knowledge and skills through a system of decision-making processes. Independent work involved participation in interactive activities, during which students reflected on the process and the result of their activities. The analysis of the students’ self-assessment results after three interactive activities showed that they had increased their knowledge of the language and improved their speaking skills. Most of the respondents in the experimental groups also noted an improvement in a number of qualities and soft skills that would be professionally significant for their future careers. The students in the experimental groups coped better with mandatory tests and final tasks. Thus reflective learning of a foreign language has a positive influence on the development of students’ linguistic persona, and one of the results of such learning would be better psychological preparedness of future engineers for successful cross-cultural communication.","PeriodicalId":151178,"journal":{"name":"Nizhny Novgorod Linguistics University Bulletin","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126015580","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}
