Our models include 5 indices, one at surface level (i.e., sentence length) and 4 syntax features (i.e., mean verbs per sentence, mean adjectives per sentence, local noun overlap, and global argument overlap). We identified and validated the five statistically significant features out of 45 linguistic features extracted from our research corpus consisting of 91.185 tokens. The shortest sentence length is found in Russian language textbooks while the longest sentences are identified in Natural Science texts. The mean number of verbs, nouns, and adjectives per sentence is higher in Natural Science textbooks, whereas Mathematics discourse is characterized by the shortest word length, highest local noun overlap, and highest global argument overlap. We assign the metric differences between the three discourses to their functions: Natural Science texts are characterized by descriptions and narrative passages in contrast to Philology that is associated with opinions. Mathematical discourse operates with precise definitions, explanations and justifications thus exercising numerous overlaps. The discriminant analysis built on top of the features supports the development of text profilers targeting parametric analyses. The automation of these features and the provided formulas for classification enable the design and development of text profilers required for textbook writing and editing. Our findings are useful for professional linguists, technologists, and academic writers to select and modify texts for their target audience.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115651591","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 discursive comprehension of the communicative event which generates linguistic images is carried out through its cognitive-metaphorical interpretation. The genesis of the linguistic image is considered from the stage of the emergence of the naïve concept, that primordial framework which connects the object-sensible image with the discursive and modus concept. Its paradigm contains the cognitive and eventual component, which, being addressed to the pragmatic component of the communicative situation, generates the architectonics of the linguistic image. The idea is held that discursive and modus hypostasis of a communicatively significant event serves as a primary basis for the formation of visual outlines of the corresponding fragment of the verbalized picture of the world. This, in turn, involves the work of the so-called discursive consciousness. In line with this judgement, the ways of formation of a linguistic image are shown. The initial stimulus here is the cognitive reproduction from the annals of ethno-cultural memory of sensations and perceptions received earlier, correlated with the actual communicative event. Interpreted by the discursive consciousness in the form of an ethno-cultural concept, the object-sensual image transforms into a linguistic image. Its categorical features are established: associativity, metaphoricity, polysemy, originality, ethno-cultural conditionality, intellectual-emotional synergy of thought and feeling.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123293135","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 definiteness effect is still one of the most topical and controversial problems to discuss. The existing studies of the definiteness effect are centred on the definite article and skip the prenominal possessives. Considered as strong determiners the prenominal possessives can occur in existential contexts under certain conditions. The corpus-based analysis results in fixing these licensing conditions. We suggest that it is the enumeration and not the definiteness/indefiniteness distinction that sets the constraints for this licensing. We assume that being scalar-neutral elements the possessives support the listing contexts at any stage of the enumeration process: at the beginning, in midstream or at the final point summing up the previous ideas. The enumeration process is associated with pointing the location of the mentioned objects, which in turn supports the deictic meaning inherent in existential sentences with possessive postverbal noun phrases. The scheme constructing the unified meaning of there-sentences with possessive pivots covers four features: existence, enumeration, location and deixis. It is enumeration that ultimately turns out to be the necessary licensing condition.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122232985","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}

As a result of the PU-terms semantics examination, coupled with private-paradigmatic methods for analysing their dictionary definitions and contextual usages recorded in the BNC and COCA, I found out the quantitative correlation of Business English PU-terms with a full meaning transfer and those with a partial meaning transfer. Among the latter, I identified two subtypes of the incomplete semantic transfer of the PU-term component composition and assign the following terms to them: an evident partial shift of meaning and a non-evident partial shift of meaning in the components. Another result of the study, presented in the text of the paper in the form of a bar graph, is the clarification of the nomenclature of the most active business English domains that operate with business PU-terms. Extensive linguistic material of the study, the proven method of phraseological identification introduced by A. V.

The sense of a text exists in reality only within human communication, within a situation of a dialogue. Dialogue turns out to be impossible when its participants only consider the interlocutor's messages through their own usual and limited set of senses, or they try to fully perceive the interlocutor’s way of comprehension by tending to break all links with their sociocultural environment’s normative-valued systems. And only partial digression beyond the limits of the conventional enables us to find common ground for understanding. Therefore, understanding always appears not simply as a dialogue, but as a collision of \"the usual\" and \"the unusual\". This process is connected with loosening of well-known ideas, taking phenomena out of their comprehension’s familiar context and destructing the old sense. Understanding starts from the initial point in dialogical movement – a given text requiring understanding as a communicative subject. A movement to the past – past contexts, when it is necessary to understand the text the way the author understood it himself without going beyond this understanding. The solution of this hermeneutic issue is rather difficult and requires the involvement of a huge amount of material. And finally, a movement to the future – prescience, construction of further contexts. Senses \"flatten\" without such a work of understanding. They transform into knowledge and stop dividing (changing). Every author is a prisoner of his epoch, of his contemporaneity. Subsequent times liberate him from this captivity, and literary studies are called upon to assist this liberation. Hence there is a need for the skills of not only understanding, but also explaining and interpreting texts. When we move from understanding a text to interpreting it, we leave the text in its semantic uniqueness and move into the communicative space of semantic transformations.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122658493","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 aim of the present study is to specify the main themes of the Yakut cinematic discourse and emotions that are transmitted by the films and reflected in reviews. The material of analysis includes 72 reviews for five Yakut films released between 2016 and 2020. The choice of the films is determined by such factors as time of release, genre affiliation, popularity, number of available reviews. The reviews are written by both critics and common viewers. The research is based on the content and sentiment analysis of the material carried out by means of computer programs. The results of the research show that the main themes of the Yakut cinematic discourse are everyday life of the Yakut people, nature of the republic, non-urban community, social issues, family relations, fate. The Yakut cinematic discourse depicts gloomy life full of hardships and unfairness in harsh climatic conditions. The sentiment of the film reviews as well as the cinematic discourse is predominantly negative. The findings of the current study suggest the possibility of exploration of specific cinematic discourse through secondary texts and discourse in order to discover its particular features. Film review is able to interpret and comprehensively represent cinematic discourse.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128790658","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 effort is triggered by the growing popularity of the software among professional translators, which is in line with the general trend of abandoning typing in favor of speech-to-text applications. Insisting that better effectiveness of such programs is contingent on their accuracy, the researchers analyze major factors, both linguistic and technical in nature, affecting the computer-assisted speech transcribing quality. This leads to an experiment, putting the hypothesis to a test. Based on numerical and performance data, errors and their breakdown into categories in an attempt to figure out their origins, it dwells on various approaches to dictation in a combination with several hardware options and configurations. These pave the way for recommendations on the improvement of STT performance based on the Dragon software. The authors arrive at a conclusion that it is possible to boost the STT accuracy up to 99 percent by adjusting the program profile to accommodate phonetic features of the speaker with due consideration of his accent, adding to the dictionary the most complex and rare vocabulary beforehand, and fine-tuning input hardware.

The relevance of the work is determined by its inclusion in the problem field of dialogic linguistics, one of the unresolved issues of which is the question of creating the next turn in a dialogue. The novelty of the research lies in the presentation of the genesis of the next turn as a manifestation of the algorithmic nature of the language – the recoding algorithm as a predictive interpretation process that genuinely anticipates the perception of the image of the language unit by the addressee. The research is carried out in accordance with the dialogical model of language as a version of the immanent-centric theory of the language. It is founded on a hypothesis under which the language is structured in such a way and not otherwise in order to serve the dialogue situation. The emergence of the next turn in a dialogue is described as the implementation of text recoding algorithms. The research is grounded on the material of the Internet dialogue, presented by a news article and comments to it in the amount of 258 units. The paper identifies and describes analytical and synthetic algorithms of text dynamics in a dialogue. The analytical algorithms are differentiated according to the form of the initial phrase, which can be either monological or polylogical. Two analytical algorithms are being distinguished and described: divergence and neutralization. The synthetic algorithms of text dynamics are represented by two varieties, stated as quoting and retelling. It is concluded that the destination image is included in the recoding algorithm. The analytical algorithms of text dynamics include a situational image of the addressee. In contrast the synthetic algorithms include an extra-situational image of the addressee. The obtained outcomes clarify the idea of the forms of updating the dialogical utterance and the specifics of its genesis.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123556158","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}

Collective memory is driven by political interests and framed by ideological narrative which undergoes changes throughout time. The royal family as a symbol of the country voices the core values and principles of the whole nation and transmits ideology. Taking critical discourse analysis as the methodological framework for the study, we analyze the commemorative speeches related to the celebration of victory in WWII delivered by the members of the royal family (King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II) in 1945 and 2020 in order to investigate the transformation of the British collective memory about World War II and identify the linguistic means used for its production and transmission. The analysis is based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework of critical discourse analysis, as well as on the principles of systemic functional linguistics developed by Halliday. We also applied the three-step model of social actor analysis provided by Darics and Koller. The study suggests that British collective memory has transformed but its core principles and ideas are still the same and used for pursuing the aims connected with political, ideological issues of the present. The language means used in the construal of the collective memory in Great Britain reveal how the past and current narratives were produced to serve the specific purposes to meet the challenges in different periods of time.","PeriodicalId":346928,"journal":{"name":"RESEARCH RESULT Theoretical and Applied Linguistics","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125135565","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}
