This article further discusses the topic of Lithuanian linguistic islands. It focuses on two particular aspects: a) synchronic aspect which is concerned with contemporary situation of the islands; b) diachronic aspect which focuses on the issue of the formation of Lithuanian islands. The article is of a discussable nature and some of the hypotheses that it raises are a result of an on-going work and thus are preliminary and they need to be tested and researched properly in the future. At this stage the key aims have been to raise and address those issues and questions that have only scarcely been addressed in extant linguistic literature. From the synchronic perspective, Lithuanian linguistic islands are classified according to the criterion of vitality. It is suggested that they be divided into three groups according to the level of their vitality: vital, endangered and dead. The analysis of the diachronic aspect, i.e. the history of the development of Lithuanian islands, the following questions of discussion are raised: 1) the question of the methodological approach with regard to Lithuanian islands. In dealing with it, it is suggested to consider not only the autochtonous model of the formation of islands but also examine the alochtonic (migrational) as well as mixed models. 2) The question of migration. The fact that people who spoke Slavic language varieties migrated to the ethnic Lithuanian lands in which Lithuanian was spoken is obvious. However, in theory, an opposite phenomenon might have been possible, i.e. it is possible that Lithuanians migrated to the areas of Slavic languages. In addition, the possibility of internal migration should not be underestimated either. In other words, it is possible that Lithuanians migrated in their own ethnic Lithuanian lands. 3) The question of dialectal situation. The main goal of the studies in this area is to establish dialectal identity of the linguistic islands. A theoretical assumption is made that in the ethnic Lithuanian lands in which Lithuanian islands formed, there might be dialectal units which used to be independent and which were not necessarily a relic of continental dialects. 4) The necessity of systematic linguistic studies. Lithuanian linguistic islands require systematic analysis and a synchronic research of Lithuanian islands’ phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical structures. 5) Sociolinguistic question, especially from the perspective of historical sociolinguistics in which the key issue addressed is the interplay of the use of different languages and the situation of bilingualism. 6) Methodological concerns and the question of the necessity of complex studies. The main objective is for scholars of different fields to discuss, consider these points, to make use of the practical and methodological experience gained by foreign linguistics and to try to develop the research methodology of Lithuanian linguistic islands of a complex and synthetic character.

Systematic analysis of the level of communication efficiency at an enterprise ensures its increased performance. Thus, it helps to establish long-term partnership relations with contact audiences and to form consumer loyalty in the external environment. As for the internal environment of an enterprise, the analysis of communication processes can reveal the “unformalized” relations between management and subordinates, determine the degree of autonomy of the individual units, evaluate the effectiveness of the feedback between the components of the management structure. It thus helps to establish effective communication processes within the enterprise. Therefore, assessing the effectiveness of communication processes at an enterprise is of particular significance. In view of this, the purpose of the article is to develop a methodological support for estimating the level of internal communications efficiency at the enterprise. The system of indicators for the internal communications assessment has been proposed, which includes quantitative and qualitative indicators and makes it possible to comprehensively assess the state and the level of internal communications efficiency. In order to assess the level of internal communications effectiveness, the methodological approach is proposed, which is based on the use of expert methods, taking into account logical rules for constructing functions of each element attribute and the process of internal communications. This methodological approach may be used at the industrial enterprises in order to determine the level of internal communications efficiency at the operating departments or at the enterprise as a whole.

Introduction. The transport industry and its supporting component – transport infrastructure are extremely important for ensuring the innovative development of the country. This is due to the fact that the operation of transport infrastructure, transport networks and vehicles covers almost all types of innovations: product, procedural, marketing, management.The hypothesis of scientific research is finding out that the results of the transport industry obtained in the course of innovation activities extend to other sectors of the economy (there is a so-called diffusion of innovations).The aim is substantiation of the architecture of the national innovative transport HUB as a system of state regulation of innovative development of transport infrastructure.The research methodology is comparative analysis and graphical method – to reflect trends in transport infrastructure; systematization and classification – for the classification of structural elements of transport infrastructure; system approach – for the formation of theoretical foundations of state regulation of transport infrastructure in the system of economic knowledge; modeling – to substantiate the model of innovative development of transport infrastructure.Results: the main factors determining the conditions and nature of forced internal migration in Ukraine in 2014–2017 were determined. The main directions  of  forced internal migration since the beginning of hostilities in the Donbass were determined. The emergence of regional asymmetry of migration processes at the level of aggregate migratory flows is investigated developed a model of innovative development of transport infrastructure in the form of national innovative transport HUB as a system of state regulation of the hexagon of individual components: innovation-production, resource-energy, environmental, investment, international and social, the use of which will create integrated into the world transport network safe, interactive, innovative and efficient transport infrastructure of Ukraine, increase the level of competitiveness of the national economy. Conclusions: the concept of innovative development of transport infrastructure is specified; a systematic analysis and classified models of state regulation of transport infrastructure, proposed a theoretical and methodological approach to the formation of national innovative transport HUB as a system of state regulation of innovative development of transport infrastructure, the implementation of which will bring the level of their provision and infrastructure to European standards. environment, to ensure socially responsible innovative development of transport infrastructure.

Lost In Translation

When soul is lost in translation: Metaphorical conceptions of soul in Dostoyevsky’s original Братья Карамазовы (The Brothers Karamazov) and its translations into Polish, Croatian and EnglishGiven that our understanding of such an abstract concept as soul is almost purely metaphorical, this paper provides a comparative cross-linguistic analysis of the system of metaphorical conceptions of soul in Dostoyevsky’s original Братья Карамазовы (The Brothers Karamazov) and its Polish, Croatian and English translations. Special attention is paid to those metaphors that are translated differently between the various translations, either in conceptual or linguistic terms.This paper adheres to the cognitive-linguistic approach to Mind (Reddy, 1979; Sweetser, 1990; G. Lakoff & Johnson, 1999). Consistent with conceptual metaphor theory in general (G. Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; G. Lakoff, 1987; Grady, 1997; Kövecses, 2000; G. Lakoff, 2009; etc.), this paper’s theoretical and methodological approach is based on Sweetser’s (1990) analysis of the system of metaphors for knowledge, on G. Lakoff and Johnson’s (1999) systematic analysis of the metaphorical conceptions of Mind and Soul, and on Štrkalj Despot, Skrynnikova and Ostanina Olszewska’s (2014) comparative analysis of the metaphorical conceptions of ДУША/DUSZA/DUŠA (‘soul’) in Russian, Polish, and Croatian.The metaphors for soul were examined in a parallel corpus that consists of Dostoyevsky’s original Братья Карамазовы (The Brothers Karamazov) and its Polish, Croatian and English translations. Linguistic metaphors were detected using the MIPVU procedure (Steen et al., 2010).The main questions that this paper ains to answer are: Which metaphors for conceptualizing soul are shared by all the languages in question? Which metaphors are translated differently and why? If metaphors are translated differently, is the difference conceptual, cultural or linguistic? Does the type of metaphor (primary, complex) have any influence on the decision to translate the source language (SL) metaphor into a different one in the target language (TL)? What cultural differences are revealed through the analysis of the way metaphors have been translated to other Slavic and one non-Slavic language? Pojęcie duszy zagubione w tłumaczeniu: Metaforyczne ujęcie duszy w oryginale powieści Братья Карамазовы (Bracia Karamazow) Fiodora Dostojewskiego oraz w jej tłumaczeniach na język polski, chorwacki oraz angielskiRozumienie tak abstrakcyjnych pojęć, jak dusza jest w pełni metaforyczne. Niniejszy artykuł zawiera porównawczą, przekrojową analizę lingwistyczną systemu konceptualizacji pojęcia dusza w powieści Fiodora Dostojewskiego pt. Братья Карамазовы (Bracia Karamazow) oraz w jej polskim, chorwackim i angielskim tłumaczeniu. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na te metafory, które zostały przetłumaczone inaczej w każdym wariancie tłumaczenia, pod względem pojęciowym albo językowym.W artykule zastosowano kognitywno-lingwistyczne podejście do umysłu (Reddy, 1979; Sweetser, 1990; Lakoff & Johnson, 1999), podejście teoretyczne i metodologiczne – zasadniczo spójne z teorią metafory pojęciowej (Lakoff i Johnson, 1980; Lakoff, 1987; Grady, 1997; Lakoff, 1999; Kövecses, 2000; Lakoff, 2009 i in.) – opiera się na analizie E. Sweetser (1990) dotyczącej systemu metafor wiedzy, systematycznej analizie G. Lakoffa i M. Johnsona (1999) dotyczącej metaforycznego pojmowania umysłu i duszy oraz na analizie porównawczej K. Štrkalj Despot, I. Skrynnikovej i J. Ostatniny-Olszewskiej (2014) pojęć metaforycznych ДУША/DUSZA/DUŠA (dusza) w językach rosyjskim, polskim i chorwackim.Przeanalizowano metaforyczne określenia duszy w korpusie paralelnym, w którym znalazła się powieść Fiodora Dostojewskiego pt. Братья Карамазовы (Bracia Karamazow) w oryginale oraz jej przekłady na język polski, angielski i chorwacki. Metafory językowe wskazano, korzystając z procedury MIPVU (Steen i in., 2010).Niniejsza analiza jest próbą odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: które metafory pojęcia dusza są tożsame we wszystkich analizowanych językach? Które metafory zostały przełożone w odmienny sposób i dlaczego tak się stało? Jeżeli metafory zostały przetłumaczone inaczej, czy jest to różnica pojęciowa, kulturowa czy językowa? Czy rodzaj metafory (podstawowa, złożona) wpływa na próbę przetłumaczenia metafory w języku źródłowym inną metaforą w języku docelowym? W jaki sposób metafory i rozumowanie metaforyczne w różnych językach wskazują na różnice i podobieństwa kulturowe w pojmowaniu świata?

Prerequisites. The relevance of the study is caused by the fact that the personality of P. Shatilov does not have a sufficient scientific reflection in the literature from the standpoint and with the use of methods of studying medical local lore. In particular, historical research methods are neglected, however, they can be used to study the work of P. Shatilov in Kharkov in more detail during the epidemics that engulfed the city in 1919-1921. Today, when the whole world suffers from coronavirus infection, it is extremely important to give an example of medical struggle in emergencies, the victories of P. Shatilov not only as a physician but also as a citizen, because such examples instill responsibility to society. Task was to provide an updated biographical study of P. Shatilov for the centenary of his death, taking into account the methods of historical research, which had not previously been used in works of this kind. After all, medical personnel require a wider use of methods than previously represented biographical studies on the figure of P. Shatilov. To reproduce the biography of a scientist on a historical background, highlighting not only personal data, but also depicting the era in which the scientist lived and worked. Materials and methods. The results of similar studies have indicated that it is necessary to rely on conceptually important general scientific epistemological principles: historicism, objectivity, a combination of both logic and historicity, systematicity. The same methods were used in this study. The methodological basis of this type of research is a specific group of approaches and methods that are used for systematic analysis of the general historical process and medical personalia as an integral part of historical and medical knowledge. The biographical approach, thanks to which the historical reality is considered in time and space, widely covers the problem in a large historical context is a leading one. Phenomenological and paradigmatic approaches provide the necessary scientific tools to reproduce the atmosphere of the time period, reconstruct the preconditions for the formation of worldviews of P. Shatilov, clarify the sources of influence on personality development, the formation of views and beliefs of the scientist, generalization of views and beliefs and his impact on the development of medical science. The high share of this innovative and traditional form of research is provided upon the condition of following the principle of historicism, objectivity of coverage of facts, adequacy in the use of all sources of information, as well as avoiding idealization of the provisions and ideas of the past, giving them a dogmatic status. Results. As a result of a comprehensive study, a medical personalia of P. Shatilov was created, which is based on the application of a comprehensive methodological approach. This is what distinguishes this study from previously created ones and provides an example to researchers for studying topics related to personalities. Conclusions. P.I. Shatilov's work in Kharkiv in recent years has been marked by difficulties in combating the plagues that have engulfed the city. However, the scientist tried to introduce a systematic action to combat plagues, based on the principles of contemporary scientific knowledge.

The film Downfall, released in 2004 at the height of an unprecedented "Hitler wave," has to be seen in a long tradition of literary and cinematic attempts to deal with Germany's "unmasterable past." The filmmakers claimed that by focusing on Hitler's final days before the end of WWII they had discovered "new territory" and presented the "facts behind the guilt." This article points out, however, that the film is historiographically based on the account by Joachim Fest's book Downfall-in which the author, as in his earlier work, follows a methodological approach that personalizes history and focuses on Hitler as "singular personality," rejecting any systematic analysis of political and social context. The film goes even further in its unscrupulous blurring of fact and fiction and simplistically juxtaposes a very small group of perpetrators (basically Hitler and Goebbels) and the large group of victims, i.e., the general population that only wanted to survive. Such an attempt to focus on a tragically failing, isolates Hitler, who alone is to blame for nation's "Downfall" is hardly suitable to help Germans to step out of the shadow of their past.

This article presents and discusses Accidental Ethnography (AccE), a methodology for practitioners to examine past experiences and contribute their findings to scholarly discourse. Accidental ethnography is the systematic analysis of prior fieldwork. It utilizes extant data “accidentally” gathered (i.e. the data were not collected as part of a predesigned study) to provide insight into a phenomenon, culture, or way of life. The accidental ethnography method—a nascent method in research literature—was developed to provide a means of in-depth exploration of past practitioner learning experiences beyond personal reflection. This article organizes, advances, and systematizes an accidental ethnography method for practitioner–researchers. We propose here a method that encompasses broader intentionality on the part of the researcher and a potentially unorthodox chronology of steps in the ethnographic research process. For practitioners in education, where much is learned through action and reflection, accidental ethnography offers a methodological approach for rigorous reflective research by front-line practitioners who have traditionally had difficulty finding time to make rigorous contributions to the discipline. This article introduces the methodological approach, elaborates the accidental ethnography research process, situates the method within action research methodology, and provides an example of an accidental ethnography project.

Purpose – this work aims to modernize and supplement the methodological approach developed to measure the solidarity economy as a socio-economic phenomenon to determine the reserves and potential for transformation of solidarity at the level of national economies. Research methodology – the presented research has a conceptual character. For the formation of the algorithm for evaluation used the method of logical generalization and systematic analysis, for search and analysis of descriptive data – thematic analysis of literature sources, for the formation and selection of indicators of solidarity economy of the agricultural sector – content analysis of data characterizing the development of cooperatives in agriculture and their environment functioning, using of secondary data allowed to synthesize existing knowledge, to analyze the current state of solidarity of the agricultural sector. Scientific articles of the Scopus database, publications of web portals of the solidarity economy (SE), and information from the Eurostat methodology were used as sources. Findings – the research contributes to increasing the visibility of the positive effects of the SE in the agricultural sector to improve its social and political recognition. Research limitations – the research is limited by the chosen methodological approach that makes it unable to conduct an expansion and development of a system of qualitative indicators of estimation of solidarity economy with a specific focus on agriculture(SEAGro), which can be used for the development of the classification of indicators of SERagro, research of influence of solidarity of farmers on sustainable development of a regions. Practical implications – measuring the scale and impact of SE in the agro sector will help to establish the socio-, eco-logical, and economic effects for Sustainable Development in general and contribute to further institutional and policy transformations. Originality/Value – not only quantitative and qualitative indicators of SE as a socio-economic phenomenon were stud-ied in order to determine the reserves and potential of solidarity transformations, but also developed a scientific and methodological approach to assessing the solidarity of the agricultural.
