The article surveys Medieval English nicknames and the derivative modern surnames carrying Christian associations through their motivation. Most commonly, these nicknames would originally refer to a clerical order or office (e.g. Clark < clerk) and then subsequently take the form of a patronymic (e.g. Vickerson < vicar). Some of these are properly occupational, designating the office itself (e.g. Prest) or the relation to people in holy or monastic orders: a familial (the name could be inherited by legitimate or, after the 12th c., illegitimate, children) or working one (e.g. Monkman). Alternatively, such nicknames are metaphoric denoting people that resembled priests, monks, etc. (e.g. Cardinal). A number of nicknames refer to diverse minor church offices like sexton and chanter, as well as religiously and socially marked people like palmer. There is also the type of metonymic nicknames that describe the conduct of the bearer in religious and moral terms, e.g. as pious or prayerful (e.g. Holyman). Less widespread but more varied are “event-nicknames” under which heading the author subsumes what is traditionally called pageant names, from the alleged roles in Medieval drama (e.g. Herod), and names deriving from church festivals (e.g. Christmas). Religious associations also appear in names derived from oaths and favourite phrases of the named persons (e.g. Godspeed). The array therefore puts on display a wide range of Medieval social roles and attitudes, and allows to speculate on their respective prominence. Parallels are drawn with Old Russian names and nicknames, and several alternative explanations or specifications for English nicknames are suggested. The article continues the series of publications devoted to the influence of Christianity on the English and, wider, Medieval European namegiving.

The science and practice of management are presented from a completely new, original author's point of view — as a social action of managers who implement given social roles. In existing theories over the past 100 years, management has been considered as a set of functions, as a process, as a talent, but not as a social action that is carried out by a specific person representing a specific social stratum — managers. Sometimes the theory is too boring and difficult to understand and implement them in practice in the management of specific companies. In this book, the author presents the theory of management as an exciting game that is played not only by managers, but also by staff, consumers, and competitors… In each section, the reader is offered training tasks aimed at developing practical management skills. It will be of interest to entrepreneurs, managers, managers, undergraduate and graduate students studying in the field of "Management", "Economics", "innovation", as well as a wide range of readers interested in management and personal development.

The article’s subject matter—verbs functioning in the sermons of the Old Russian church writer Cyril Turovskij (second half of the 12th century)—is considered in details for the first time on the basis of the earliest source, Tolstovskij Sbornik (second half of the 13th century). Since Cyril’s sermons were addressed to a wide range of listeners and readers they had to be based on intelligible and simple language forms that also preserved a connection with literary standards. This manifested itself in the significant Russification of the preaching language. The article describes the following features of the language of Cyril’s sermons: the earliest and widespread usage of “praesens historicum”; the exclusive usage of aorist forms with additional endings (načętъ type); the special functional and syntactic nature of the aorist rěšę; the unusually wide usage of 2 Sg. aorist and imperfect forms; the usage of perfective imperfect forms and imperfects with additional endings; the prospective future tense and modal functioning of the paraphrastic forms with the auxiliary verb xoščè; special cases of 1 Pl. imperatives usage; the special character of the reflexive enclitic sę; and the extraordinary distribution of periphrastic preterits forms. Some similarity of verbs functioning in Cyril’s homilies and The Tale of Igor’s Campaign is detected as well as in the original Chronicle, early Old Russian translations, and Paroemiarion.

AbstractMuch social cognition and action is dialogical in nature and profitably understood from a second-person perspective. The elemental social roles of “debtor” and “creditor” are of great importance in explaining the structure and history of a wide range of social facts and institutions. Yet these person-level experiences of indebtedness and the mental spaces they engender are not sufficient to account for complex social facts. Sovereign money systems are a leading example where our person-level experiences of exchange lead us astray by actively hindering our ability to grasp money’s macroeconomic functions. This article provides a comprehensive account of money as a distributed cognitive phenomenon. It summarizes and critiques a prior analysis of money as a conceptual blend enabling

Individual Educational Program

Nowadays, attitude towards childhood is changing, the value of individual development of the child is intensifying. The demand for the construction and maintenance of individual educational path is increasing. This creates a demand for new professional duties, including support of the individual educational program delegated to the profession of a tutor. The study aims to identify the social roles of the tutor in the first year of formation of the educational community of a private school. The hypothesis of the study: within the process of active formation of social community of the new school tutor, while interacting with parents, teachers and administration, takes on a number of informal duties associated with individual work with the student in excess of educational tasks. The qualitative research strategy was applied due to the need for in-depth analysis and identification of cause-and-effect relationships and hidden meanings in the system of social interactions. The sample (21 people) included representatives of various social roles: tutors — 8 persons; parents of pupils — 5 persons; representatives of administration — 3 persons; subject teachers — 3 persons; psychologists — 2 persons. Data gathering was carried out by the method of in-depth semi-formalized interview based on the developed research program (40 initial questions). It was revealed that the role-based set of duties of the tutor in the new school is not a given characteristic of the profession in question, but is a product of contexts and interactions that form the content of a unique institution under conditions of emerging communications, events and school’s way of life. At the end of the first cycle of life of the educational community of the school a wide range of roles of the tutor was formed, which actualizes the task of professional self-determination of the tutor in the system of social interactions.

A participle is a special form of a verb in which verb grammatical features are conjugated with adjectival ones. This is manifested both at the level of categorical meaning, and at the level of grammatical categories and syntactic functions. The participle is a verb form located on the periphery of the verb system, so verbal grammatical categories often manifest themselves in a flawed form. Due to this hybridity, syncretism, participles are subjected to changes in the process of historical development. This determines the relevance of the study, identifying the reasons for a dynamic development of the participle system, determining current trends in their functioning. In the course of the research methods of observation, description, functional and semantic analysis, quantitative methodology were used to assess the dynamics of functioning of future participlesin the process of historical development. As sources of language material we used Russian writers' works selected from the National Corpus of the Russian Language. On the basis of the research, it was found out that the system of participles underwent significant transformations during the period from the Old Russian language to the modern one. This is manifested in significant grammaticalization processes that led to the restructuring of the verb system and the temporal and collateral verb paradigm. It is revealed that in the modern Russian language participles remain an unstable form, which is manifested in the processes of transformation of verbal grammatical categories in participles, leading to their transition to the system of adjectives. The study of the language material allowed us to establish a wide range of gradual transitions from participles to adjectives. We analyzed the reasons for the activation of future participles in modern publicistic and artistic texts, the dynamics of their functioning from the XIX century to the present, the possibilities of participles in overcoming paradigmatic limitations in the process of functioning in the text.

This article is dedicated to the transformation of the genre of lamentation in modern youth mass media. The antique genre of lamentation, including the Old Russian literature, implied regret for the lost, mourning for losses, and sadness about things that will not come back. The specificity of the discourse of lamentation in interpretation of modern youth bloggers and journalists consists in their regret for the loss of a country they have never been to, or lived only for a short time. Numerous regrets about the loss of the Soviet Union are expressed by the people born in the Russian Federation. The subject of this research is the rhetorical interpretation of the image of lamented object in its transformation from antiquity to the present day. The article employs the method of comparative analysis for studying the world-modeling categories of text in their comparison with the corresponding discourse of antiquity and the Old Russian writing. The novelty of this work consists in comparison of the paradigm of the antique and Old Russian rhetoric with modern topoi of lamentation. The author proves the preservation of the basic topical structure of the genre of lamentation, which in his opinion, is associated not with the direct orientation towards the examples of antiquity, but rather their indirect perception through a wide range of texts that oriented towards the corresponding paradigm. The conclusion is made that the genre of lamentation has been continued in modern tradition in form of reconstruction in accordance with the similar topical and compositional pattern. The common features of this genre infiltrate into the composition of text and video fragments dedicated to the Soviet Union. The video and text analysis indicates the distinct reconstruction of the traditions related to different historical times, which in fact, does not fully depict any of the real historical epochs of existence of the state.

This chapter discusses the high Persianate intellectuals in Islamic history. The ulama were not the only patricians of Bukhara, but they were the only elite cadre whose claim to authority rested on the mastery of Perso-Islamic knowledge. Indeed, the Islamic scholars stood at the apex of a historical synthesis integrating a wide range of Perso-Islamic knowledge forms into a single whole. Just as Islamic and pre-Islamic Persian forms were inexorably intertwined in the city's mythologization, so too were the disciplines and social roles of the ulama. By the nineteenth century, tens of thousands of graduates were emerging from Bukhara's madrasas and it was not enough to simply have mastered Arabic grammar and theology: scholars distinguished themselves through their “extracurricular” and “postgraduate” scholastic pursuits. Never before had scholars had so much in common across such an eclectic range of competencies, nor would they again, following the rise of reformist Islam and the Soviet transformation.
