The article raises the problem of methodological foundations of sociohumanitarian knowledge. The opinion that has been established since the constitution of the social and humanitarian sciences that there are fundamental differences in the methodology of natural science and socio-humanitarian knowledge has become perceived as an axiom. This situation did not contribute to the creation of an adequate theory capable of sufficiently implementing the explanatory and predictive functions of science in this area.Methodology and sources. Obstacles to the creation of an adequate methodology for the study of human existence are misunderstood thesis about the specifics of socio-humanitarian knowledge and inadequate understanding of the nature of the object of socio-humanitarian knowledge. The unity of criteria and standards of scientific research in the natural sciences and socio-humanitarian sciences is achieved on the basis of the post-non-classical model of science. The concept of scientific paradigms developed by V.S. Stepin can serve as a source of a new approach to the formation of the methodology of socio-humanitarian knowledge.Results and discussion. The classical model of scientific research posited the opposite of the method of natural and socio-humanitarian sciences on the basis of the opposite of the methods of mastering the objects of research: sensory means and intelligible. In this way, indeed, it is impossible to combine the criteria and standards of science in relation to natural science and socio-humanitarian research.Conclusion. The post-non-classical model of science is based on the understanding of the research object from the point of view of its structure, which allows us to consider the phenomena of human existence as having a single nature with the object of natural science, since in both cases, objects have a complex, systemic nature and belong to self-developing objects.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74727424","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}

To date, in the scientific discourse, an approach to the definition of digital capital as an object of research in sociology is only being formed. Sociological analysis is important for the study of digital capital because it is able to reveal its specifics, features, material and non-material components.Methodology and sources. The study and theorization of digital capital is based on theoretical and methodological positions and studies of the processes of digitalization and digital capital proposed by researchers earlier. Based on this, the author proposed her own definition of digital capital and research methodology and conducted a pilot empirical study.Results and discussion. It is revealed that, on the one hand, the development of society under the influence of digitalization and the presence of digital capital among representatives of various socio-demographic and professional groups contributes to the development of society. But on the other hand, the simplification of structural processes in connection with the introduction of digital technologies entails a number of objective problems: a shortage of specialists with the necessary competencies, a decrease in the quality of qualifications existing specialists, inequality among professional groups, unemployment, etc.Conclusion. In one way or another, digitalization has affected either the working conditions or influenced the transformation of the profession, including new specialties and requirements. The main advantage of digitalization is to increase the productivity of the enterprise by reducing the time required to develop a new product, release it to the market and deliver it to the consumer, as well as to optimize the company's resources, which increases the efficiency of its work as a whole. Respondents employed at IT enterprises noted that the process of digitalization minimally affected their field of activity, since it was always “in numbers” anyway. At the same time, the IT profession has really transformed. This lies in the fact, that earlier it included only those who are engaged, for example, in programming, and now this profession includes everyone who is somehow connected with a digital product.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84846487","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 purpose of the paper is to show the prospects of the problem of actual infinity for understanding the ways of New European classical epistemology. The relevance of the work is due to the need to fill a gap in the history of New European epistemology, which today makes it difficult to understand the essence of its crisis. Such a lacuna was formed by the lack of grounds for the transition from the probabilistic concept of natural science, which takes into account apophaticism associated with the idea of actual infinity, to positive science, which presupposes a positive understanding of actual infinity.Methodology and sources. The author of the paper reconstructs and critically analyzes the attempts of the founders of New European science (Galileo and Descartes) to reform the ontological project of Nikolai Kuzansky due to the need for a positive understanding of the actual infinity. The author distinguishes between the reception of the problem of actual infinity in the New European philosophy and its objective state. Based on a comparative analysis, the author of the article establishes the identity of the logic of the development of the problem of actual infinity in the studies of Zeno of Elea and in New European epistemology, thereby testifying to its enduring significance.Results and discussion. The author shows that in the development of the problem of actual infinity, an objective regularity manifests itself, consisting in the fact that an unjustified assumption of the possibility of changing physical nature on the basis of the actual infinite really leads to a change in nature, but only the basis for this change is not actual, but potential infinity. This logic was reproduced in the history of New European epistemology. Thereby, mathematical natural science really turned out to be possible, but not on what its creators put in the basis (actual infinity), but on a derivative of it (potential infinity), and as a result it strengthens the position of supporters of non-classics.Conclusion. The problem of actual infinity makes it possible to understand the logic of the development of New European epistemology from its genesis to the modern crisis, and shows a deep interconnection between these two points.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"365 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78010424","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 article is devoted to the study of the specifics of stylistic techniques within translation of non-equivalent and culturally marked lexemes. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that a rapidly developing films production market requires a high-quality adaptation of foreign films for other cultures. There is a need for a comprehensive study on adaptation mechanisms of various ethno-cultural phenomena displayed during translation from one language to another.Methodology and sources. This research was conducted in the context of a linguostylistic approach to the text analysis. Following methods were applied: comparative, directional sampling, classification, text interpretation, component analysis of lexical units, as well as the methods of contextual, semantic-cognitive and linguocultural analysis. The research is based on the transformations classifications by L.K. Latyshev and L.V. Solonovich, as well as the classification of culture-specific concepts by V.S. Vinogradov. The British-American series “Good Omens” was chosen as the research material. The analysis was conducted on the basis of the officially published script translated by Y. Poleshchuk.Results and discussion. Linguocultural adaptation of a foreign language work includes complex translation and stylistic transformations. In most cases, stylistic transformations within the series adaptation are related to idioms, metaphors and other expressive lexemes, due to discrepancies in the system of images between languages and due to the ways of conveying emotional tones in Russian and English. Nevertheless, it is not recommended to abuse the adaptation of culture-specific concepts, otherwise the meaning and national peculiarities transmitted through the original text will be lost. In the context of translating a series, this issue can be particularly acute due to inseparable connection between image and text.Conclusion. Cinematographic works, distinguished by their inseparable combination of audio and visual images, are able to unite cultures, to be a tool in the study of other cultures and languages. A pragmatic attitude towards a foreign language recipient requires a responsible approach to adapting the film text translation. The key role in this process is played by stylistic translation transformations, which are related to culturally marked lexemes, allusions, and other stylistic devices.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85326629","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 tragic times of trials at the beginning of the 20th century motivated existentialist philosophers and imaginists poets to search for the temporal meaning of despair in people's lives. Philosophers comprehended the nature of despair, and came to the conclusion about its origin in person’s soul at the moment of subordination of human temporality to objective time as the cause of inevitable losses. Liberation from its power begins with the person’s turn to the value content of their own temporality. The word-image connects despair with the present moment of time as part of human temporality and outside of objective time. Revealing the features of the temporalization of despair in imaginists poetry, the author suggests that the word-image changes the existential attitude of a desperate person, giving value to their temporal existence.Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of the work is a hermeneutic approach to understanding the concept of ”despair”, a conceptual analysis of the term “word-image”, a method of component analysis of language units with temporal meaning and a comparative analysis of the interpretations of the temporalization of despair in existentialist philosophy and imaginist poetry.Results and discussion. The results of studying the problem of the temporalization of despair are the following conclusions. Firstly, despair may be a consequence of the involvement of a person who hopes, into objective time or part of the subjective time of a desperate person. Secondly, despair may lead a person not only to losses, but also to the search for values in the confrontation of objective and subjective times. Thirdly, the temporalization of despair is understood as a transition from a temporary experience to a timeless concept in philosophy and is expressed by the timelessness of this experience in poetry. Fourth, in philosophy the meaning of despair is revealed in the temporal sequence of losses, and the word-image puts a limit to losses in poetry, which returns a desperate person to values and contributes to the correction of their temporal existence.Conclusion. The scope of objective time expands in the technogenic epoch and subordinates a person's temporality to its rhythms, leading them to despair. Existentialists consider temporalization as a way to reveal the true meaning of despair, and imaginists use it so that a person experiences this feeling differently and builds their temporal existence in a different way.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85025744","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 representation of people with disabilities affects the formation of the image in the public mind. The media play a significant role in shaping the representation of people with disabilities, and this affects the assessment, perception, value judgments about people with disabilities, which for a long time were built incorrectly, stereotyped, and did not contribute to integration, and contradicted the ongoing social policy of the state. Based on the study, the authors noted the neutral nature of the presentation of materials in print media, the use of the term “disabled”, which corresponds to the human rights model of disability, and their representation through materials related to the social policy of the state and charity.Methodology and sources. The research formed on the basis of understanding sociology, structural functionalism, phenomenology and modern communication theories. The article uses the ideas of M. Weber, T. Parsons, N. Luhmann, G. Lasswell, D.P. Gavra, M. Heidegger and E. Yarskaya-Smirnova. The main research method is the qualitative content analysis of federal media articles.Results and discussion. The study made it possible to identify the dominant ideas about people with disabilities and formulate recommendations for changing the nature of the representation of disability and the image of a person with a disability. The image of a disabled person is built on the basis of a medical model of disability and stereotypes based on perception through pity, sacrifice and helplessness. The predominance of such materials in the information field could form a negative image of people with disabilities as helpless people and being a “burden” in the minds of society members. It is required to increase the number of materials in the media that tell about the achievements of people with disabilities, as well as the formation of a monitoring system that will allow monitoring the observance of the rights of people with disabilities in the media.Conclusion. Based on a comparative analysis of the author's research and materials of other authors, it was made a conclusion about the stagnation of the representation of people with disabilities in the federal media, which is a social problem. More frequent use of the image of a disabled person as an independent actor and popularization of the trend for inclusion are required to solve it.

R-linguistics uses the axiomatic method in its approach to modeling the world and language [1]. Axioms define the categories of language, their properties and ways of formation. On this basis, when processing the accumulated data in the form of relations, it is possible to form systems of categories and determine the verbs connecting these categories. A reasonable question arises: if categories (to be such) must satisfy certain axioms, does this requirement apply to verbs as well? The purpose of this article is to deal with this issue.Methodology and sources. The results of the previous parts of the series are used as research tools. The axioms and methods of verb categorization formulated earlier are used to develop the necessary mathematical representations of the verb axiomatics.Results and discussion. The article introduces the axiom for the verbs of the language (the axiom of the verbal cross) and shows that this axiom is related to the categorization axiom (the correctness axiom). Although this connection is not identical, it becomes such with the additional use of the axiom of extensiveness. This relationship made it possible to formulate the fundamental principle of linguistics – the principle of duality.Conclusion. The axiomatics of verbs and categories of a language turns out to be connected, and one determines the other, so that by and large it does not matter which of them is the source of the model of the world and the appearance of language. This unity is formulated as the principle of duality in linguistics. The manifestations of the principle of duality in the language are diverse, but this article focuses on the discussion of the appearance in the language of verbs-processes and adverbs. This transition is considered, starting with obtaining the initial data about the world, to the emergence of ideas about processes and adverbs as a feature system of verbs.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"379 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91448311","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 article presents the results of an analytical review of scientific papers reflecting the stages of formation and development of the theory of scientific discourse in Russian linguistics.

The paper is based on theoretical concepts in the field of discourse analysis, considering discourse as a type of social practice, as a methodology of corpus linguistics using software tools and quantitative methods to extract language structures from large arrays of texts. An overview of the existing empirical research base is given.Results and discussion. As a result of the review study, the evolution of approaches to scientific discourse is characterized, their chronological framework is determined, key concepts that influenced the modern understanding of scientific communication are identified (genre-stylistic, sociocultural, cognitive, linguocultural, pragmalinguistic, communicative-pragmatic approaches), modern interpretations of scientific discourse are analyzed and prospects for further research are outlined. It is shown that in the study of scientific discourse, the corpus methodology is today in demand and is used in its synchronic and diachronic description. The diachronic development of the English-language scientific discourse by the example of a scientific article genre is an extremely interesting issue, which, according to our data, has not been thoroughly studied before. That is why our further works will be devoted to its consideration.Conclusion. It is shown that despite the long and intensive study of scientific discourse in the scientific literature there is an insufficient number of works highlighting the trends in the development of scientific communication genres, which demonstrate a certain historical dynamics and changes in the collective consciousness.

This article discusses the values of a modern female manager in social and structural relations of the business sphere from the gender point of view. The author sets the task of comparing the value positions of a female and a male manager in terms of several indicators (financial independence, career ambitions and expectations, balance between work and family, education and self-development) to identify gender differences in their activities, including those that affect the success of the organization in general.Methodology and sources. Using the methods of complex analysis, as well as data obtained in the course of a sociological survey that covered managers of various status in the employment of Russian and foreign companies of various forms of participation and different market segments, through the prism of values, the specifics of the labor status of a female manager in socio-structural relations in business area. A questionnaire on the value orientations of modern manager in business and their attitude towards success in professional life was developed for the study. Territorial scope: Russian Federation. Timeframe: autumn 2019 – January 2022. The sample is represented according to “the employee level in organizational hierarchy” criteria. The study involved 130 participants.Results and discussion. It was found that the value structure of women and men differs slightly, and those qualities that women possess by “their nature” could be “useful” in business. It was also found that family and children are no longer an obstacle to professional growth and development for a modern woman, allowing her to easily compete with men in various business segments, including management.Conclusion. The author concludes that in modern conditions not only the value orientations of a woman have changed, but also her behavior in the social life. This is explained by the fact that values, in particular social ones, are the product of a woman's socialization, her assimilation of social, moral, aesthetic, and ethical ideals and the requirements placed on her as a member of society. The same is true of the basic values – their structure has changed and today expresses the fundamental, universal orientations and norms of human behavior dictated by modern realities – digitalization, the economic crisis, political instability, and the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":75784,"journal":{"name":"Dental Discourse","volume":"2 Suppl A 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83646123","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 article is devoted to the linguocultural study of humorous texts/metaphors which appeared in German during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The relevance of the research is due to the interest of modern linguistics in the study of national specificity of humour.Methodology and sources. The research is conducted within the framework of the linguocultural approach using descriptive, comparative and interpretative analysis methods.

The main thematic dominant theme in the COVID-19 pandemic discourse is “us and them in the context of the new reality”. The study showed: the pandemic discourse is characterised by expressiveness and axiology, irony and self-irony, stereotyping and interpretation of self and self through the prism of others. Pandemic / self-isolation → stress → carnivalisation of consciousness represent the average German as a person who overcomes reality and evaluates it on the basis of ethno-cultural ideas about norms and patterns of behaviour in certain circumstances (the concept Ordnung).
