The focus is made on classroom management and prosodic characteristics used in the speech of two groups of non-native informants. We aim to find the connection of speakers’ national identity and language teaching. Regarding pronunciation as part of a person’s identity, the authors carry out a comparative analysis of English and Russian cultures and examine linguistic and paralinguistic expression of national indexical features in communication. Singling out the strategies that allow teachers to carry out classroom interactions with their students, identifying the correlation of classroom interaction language and speech prosody with politeness strategies provide the novelty of the research. We clearly stated that conventionality of classroom language discourse varied at the level of prosody and reflected national specific characteristics in the speech of a foreign language teacher. Due to perceptive and analytical methods of analysis, we recognized that CELTA candidates follow standardized teaching framework requirements, whilst future language teachers demonstrate the influence of native language interference to a greater degree. The findings show that the tendencies that reveal the status inequality in classroom interactions between teachers and students are in the choice of prosodic features and language construction. University students in teaching realize strategies of positive politeness culture typical of their own Russian culture; in the group of CELTA candidates the level of phonetic competence and personal experience is higher thus they choose phonetic features characteristic of negative politeness culture.","PeriodicalId":43335,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism","volume":"306 2-3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135566910","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}

Zh. Zalikhanov (1917-1996), who was at the forefront of the development of written literature in the native language. The paper examines the main methodological principles of the aesthetics of socialist realism: a truthful, historically concrete reflection of reality, the assertion of new socialist ideals and relations aimed at the formation of the literature that is “national in form and socialist in content”. Using Zh. Zh Zalikhanov’s novels “Mountain Eagles”, “Burning Hearts” and “The Baksan Star” as an example, the paper explores the main ways of artistic expression that give the writer’s works national specificity and colouring (images, symbols, signs). Zh. Zh. Zalikhanov’s creative work reflects such principles of the socialist realism method as historicism, artistic truth, national spirit, which are used as means of historical truth (depiction of specific events, biographies of real historical figures), on the one hand, and as ways of reflecting national specifics (anthroponymic and toponymic units, phraseological expressions, proverbs and sayings, etc.), on the other hand. The research is original in that it is the first to examine the aesthetic principles of artistic merit in the creative work of Zh. Zh. Zalikhanov using not only a historical but also a culturological approach to a literary work as a “culture code”. The research findings have shown that the socialist realism method contributed to the development of new means of visual and artistic expression of Soviet literature and the formation of new principles of artistic merit of the literature “national in form and socialist in content”.","PeriodicalId":43335,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism","volume":"315 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135565575","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}

There are cases when a writer who has achieved fame, for various reasons, begins to create under a different name, attempts to write in a different manner and sometimes achieves success again in a new incarnation. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility of intentionally making significant changes to an author’s literary style. Numerals present in the texts by a particular author are used as a style marker. Examples from English, French and Russian literature demonstrate that the use of numerals is a literary ‘fingerprint’ that manifests in all or most of sufficiently long texts by that author. The obtained results show that, contrary to an author’s attempts to write in a ‘new’ way, the usage of numerals is conservative and allows for the recognition of fictitious authorship. This conclusion is drawn based on the analysis of works by R. Gary and B. Akunin (G. Chkhartishvili), who are known for their literary hoaxes. The analysis of numerals usage is also applied to the issue of authorship regarding Harper Lee’s novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. Conclusions about the similarity/difference of literary styles are made based on hierarchical cluster analysis and are supported by the Pearson chi-squared test. The scientific originality of the paper lies in taking a new approach to the search for a literary ‘fingerprint’ and text attribution.","PeriodicalId":43335,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism","volume":"183 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135977797","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 paper presents the results of analysing quoted and reported speech in written genres of scientific communication using the material of the Russian National Corpus.

As a result, it has been found that the main functions of quoted and reported speech in scientific discourse include the informative, argumentative, nominative and constructive functions. Among the described functions, the dominant position is occupied by the informative and the argumentative functions, which is due to the key tasks that a scientific work is designed to solve as a tool for communication and transmission of scientific knowledge. In addition to the main functions, the expressive one has been also highlighted, which may be characteristic of verbatim quotations that preserve the stylistic originality and distinctness of the original text.

The paper is original in that it is the first to substantiate the connection between Percy’s theoretical inquiries in the philosophy of language and the principles of construction of plots and characters’ images in his later novels. Percy finds that the main function of language is not in naming facts of reality or establishing abstract connections between them, but in a person’s realization of the ontological meaning of what is happening through an awareness of the social and vital significance of what is being uttered. Mechanical manipulation of clichéd expressions and the dominance of form over content in speech become indicators of the characters’ internal emptiness and their loss of human essence. The return of individual meaning to spoken words is closely linked to the internal spiritual transformation of the characters. As a result, the research demonstrates that the characters’ speech in Percy’s novels serves an important function in characterizing their existential status: changes in speech signify essential changes in the characters’ nature, their proximity or distance from the understanding of the meaning of life.","PeriodicalId":43335,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136132437","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, the process of conceptualization of exile taking into account a wide philological and ethno-cultural context has been presented.

The scientific novelty of the paper lies in examining linguistic markers of the category of dialogue peculiar to the business language of the 18th century and to N. A. Demidov as a linguistic personality. As a result of analysing the form of documents sent to higher authorities, it has been determined that the category of dialogue is represented even in the initial block of the letter – in the document requisites “sender” and “recipient”, whereas in letters sent to lower authorities, the requisite “sender” is contained within the requisite “recipient”. In the main part of the analysed documents and letters, the category of dialogue is represented by core markers: interrogative, imperative and negative constructions, references to documents initiating business communication (new speech subjects) presented in the form of indirect speech using the subjective particles де and якобы that indicate the unreliability of the information provided. In the business correspondence sent to lower authorities represented by a collective subject or a specific individual, N. A. Demidov uses both core and peripheral means of expressing the category of dialogue (parenthetical words and phrases, evaluative vocabulary) characteristic of the Russian language of the 18th century.","PeriodicalId":43335,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136318877","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 research is novel in that it is the first to use the memoirs of a person who was born and formed in the environment of the Russian white émigré community, in the traditions of noble Russia, participated in World War II, lived in the post-war Soviet and post-Soviet country and was known in Volgograd and the Volgograd region as a cultural figure, educator as the research material. As a result, the researcher finds that the author masters the entire stylistic palette of the Russian literary language, he is familiar with non-literary forms of the common language and has knowledge of foreign languages. The use of stylistically marked forms, foreign expressions is determined by the speech situation, the author’s goals and objectives. The study highlights the author’s interest in and attention to language, the use of its expressive resources, the utilisation of stylistic devices, word play, a variety of precedent names that are significant for Russian and world culture, which indicates the author’s broad outlook, his system of views and a complex and rich worldview.
