The language is a specific type of human activity, «a shape of thought». As a means of communication, it acts as an exponent of the speaker’s spirit and world outlook. The issue of shaping a linguistic world view in students of non-linguistic colleges and, in particular, the problem of the language impact on the way of view of life still requires its solution. The author of the article harks back to the history of foreign linguistic school of thoughts of German linguists Wilhelm von Humboldt (founder of theoretical linguistics) and Johann Leo Weisgerber (who proposed the term «the linguistic world view»), of American ethno-linguists Edward Sepir (author of the comprehensive typological classification of languages of the world) and Benjamin Whorf (author of the theory of linguistic relativity), of an English philosopher John Langsho Ostin, one of the creators of the theory of speech acts. The article mentions some ideas of the Russian world view presented in works of the national linguists, such as A.A. Potebnya, A. Vezhbitskaya, Ye.S. Kubryakova, V.M. Vorobyev. Drawing on many years of experience of teaching the English language in departments of international relations, linguistics and translation studies in St. Petersburg Institute for External Economic Relations, Economics and Law, the author examines the methods of shaping the linguistic world view in students of International Relations and Linguistics. As an example, the author brings forth a scenario of the lecture course in the discipline «Professional Foreign Language (English) in Studying the Topic «National Identity».

AbstractChinese and Western archaeologists (especially those of the anthropologically-oriented tradition) often seem to be talking past each other, not only because they are publishing in different languages, but also because of differences in theory and method. While most of the major theoretical works in Western languages are by now available in Chinese translations, hardly any English-language publications exist that explain Chinese approaches to archaeological method and theory. This article helps to bridge the gap by introducing the history of debates on archaeological method in China to a Western audience, focusing particularly on issues of typology and classification. Discussing in detail the merits—and issues—of approaches suggested by four of the most influential Chinese archaeologists (Li Chi, Xia Nai, Su Bingqi, and K. C. Chang), this article provides a deeper understanding of the preconditions of archaeological research in China. It also suggests future directions for archaeological work by local and foreign archaeologists, including but also going beyond the classification of the rich body of artifacts coming to light in Chinese excavations.

History Of

Given the essential positive history of China’s relations with India, China’s world view and the fact of geographical contiguity, the essential approach that China follows vis-à-vis India post 1949 is based on bilateralism. The bilateral approach has defined China’s negotiations over the border as well as economic relations between the two. In the past bilateralism has allowed China to consolidate its control over Tibet and follow a mercantilist economic policy vis- a- vis India. But the change in the geopolitical status of both nations indicates that bilateral relations, after Wuhan, have been reset to represent those between two ‘major powers’ who have broader regional and global interests as well. Although bilateralism will continue to underline their policies towards each other in matters of common development, regional development or the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, China will need to redefine its approach to bilateralism by broadening and deepening it to create a truly mutual relationship.

В данной статье аргументируется необходимость пересмотра номенклатуры профессионально-профильных устно-речевых умений как объекта контроля при обучении практической фонетике английского языка в языковом вузе в условиях функционирования английского языка как глобального лингва франка. Основываясь на результатах анализа научных и нормативных источников, автор предлагает расширенный перечень профессионально-профильных устно-речевых умений, формирование и развитие которых представляется целесообразным для студентов, обучающихся по программам бакалавриата языкового вуза (педагогический профиль). Предлагаемая номенклатура продуктивных и рецептивных умений учитывает требования к нормативности в оформлении устной речи будущего преподавателя английского языка, необходимость формирования медиативных устно-речевых умений при овладении фонетикой английского языка как глобального лингва франка, а также необходимость формирования и поддержания готовности студентов языкового вуза к общению в условиях социокультурного разнообразия и произносительной вариативности. This article seeks to justify the necessity of rethinking and re-establishing the range of professional pronunciation skills that English language teaching and linguistics majors are required to develop. This change is conditioned by the status of English as a global lingua franca, i.e., the primary language of international communication, and the consequent recent change in international requirements towards English learners’ pronunciation. The suggested list of pronunciation skills is based on the recommendations outlined in contemporary phonetics research as well as Russian and international educational standards and requirements. It takes into consideration the necessity of developing students’ mediation skills as well as their readiness to participate in intercultural communication with the representatives of various sociocultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Jerzy Kmita’s conception of humanistic interpretation is an appropriate reconstruction of communicative discourses, but it does not allow reconstruction of the non-communicative ones. In order to extend the range of application, I have employed John L. Austin’s performative-constative distinction, but have expanded its scope from speech acts to any discourses. As a result, the classification of discourse is as follows: explicit and implicit constatives, and explicit and implicit performatives. The efficacy of the new categorisation has been demonstrated with selected discourses sourced from the history of aesthetics.

The phenomenon of Anglicism is one of the hot linguistic topics which exists in almost every language in the world, especially in the French language. We look back to the history of English and French, and introduce the definition and classification of Anglicism. Considering the predominant place of the UK and the USA in many fields, the English language undoubtedly becomes Lingua franca in recent years.In certain high-tech domains, there are some irreplaceable words or the words which can't be translated properly in the target language. In order to introduce relative concepts, we have to ask the original language for help. That's how the Anglicism appears. And since then, the Anglicism has grown rapidly.By analyzing the history of the two languages, the origin of Anglicism and its development, we try to find out whether the phenomenon of Anglicism causes positive or negative effects for the French language.

Annotation. Introduction. The article is devoted to the issues of historical conditionality of modern features and institutional barriers on the way to the development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine, its internal content and social role as innovative and socially responsible activity, the history of emergence and development of an enterprise as a social-economic phenomenon and types. Also, it describes the objects, organizational and legal forms of management in different branches of economy, classification of public-private partnership; axiological aspect of state property; description of the organizational and legal form of the legal entities; main advantages and disadvantages of organizational and legal forms of management in the current conditions of modernization and globalization of economic relations. The article deals with understanding of property as belonging to means and products to the corresponding physical and legal persons. The notion of property is outlined as a social, economic, and legal category. Purpose. The paper shows the owner’s position following some property rights where he possesses, uses, and disposes of his property that doesn’t contradict the current legislation. The value of the axiology in economic relations is outlined as positively significant in meeting the needs of participants in public life. Results. As the article concerns there are the most significant features that distinguish organizational and legal forms: some participants in the created business entity, characteristics of the property owner; sources of the property as a material basis of entrepreneurship; limits of property liability; the method of sharing profits and losses; the form of business entity management. Conclusions. Organizational legal form is considered as a form of legal person ( a subject of entrepreneurship) which characterizes the peculiarities of its creation, property status, peculiarities of the owners’ interaction, founders and participants, their duties and obligations in the legal entity. It is proved that the ownership can be private and state and the last can acts as a form of ownership that plays some role in the economy of Ukraine. This form of ownership can be implemented based on public-private partnerships. Keywords: property; organizational and legal form; axiology of enterprise’s value; social responsibility; activity; entrepreneurship.

And Linguistics

Abstract This paper argues that linguistic typology, and linguistics more generally, got off to a good start in the 19th century with scholars like Wilhelm von Humboldt and Georg von der Gabelentz, where the understanding was that each language manifests a unique world view, and it is important to study and compare those world views. This tradition is still alive, but was sidelined and even denigrated for many years due to the rise of Structuralism, which attempted to study language structures divorced from their linguistic and socio-cultural contexts. The paper reviews the understandings the early scholars had and points out their similarities with cutting edge current views in cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, and interactional linguistics, which had to be rediscovered due to the influence of Structuralism for so many years. It then argues that we should make linguistic typology (and linguistics more generally) more modern, scientific, and empirical by returning to our roots.

The best pedagogical practices in the teaching of the History of the English Language (HEL) recommend the incorporation of new research paradigms. Historical pragmatics and historical sociolinguistics are both relatively new fields of study, and both clearly locate the English language in its social and cultural context. This chapter will give you examples of historical pragmatic studies (e.g., the evolution of discourse markers and changes in directive speech acts) and historical sociolinguistics (e.g., the use of you/thou in relation to social rank and gender, changes from positive (neutral) politeness to negative politeness) that can fruitfully be incorporated into HEL courses.

English is the most known and spoken language in the world. In this regard, we are interested in the history of the English language. English belongs to the largest and most widespread group of languages called Germanic languages. Germanic languages are a group of closely related languages spoken by more than 500 million people across the globe. The article considers the modern Germanic languages, their distribution and classification, and their ancestors - the Germanic languages. The relevance of this work lies in the fact that Germanic languages are the ancestors of the modern Germanic languages that are native languages for most countries of Europe and South Africa. It is also possible to increase interest in the science of language as interlinguistics, and as a result, further development of linguistics as a whole. The aim of this work is to investigate the role of the Germanic languages in the history of linguistics, and also give the knowledge about phonetic and morphological features. The objectives of this article: to give a classification of modern Germanic languages, to indicate the distribution area, to highlight the phonetic and morphological features of old Germanic languages. In the paper we have used the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, and abstracting

Clinical Diagnostic Criteria

Objective Neck-Tongue syndrome (NTS) is characterized by brief attacks of neck or occipital pain, or both, brought out by abrupt head turning and accompanied by ipsilateral tongue symptoms. As the disorder is rare, we undertook a systematic review of the literature to identify all reported cases in order to phenotype clinically the disorder and subsequently inform clinical diagnostic criteria. Methods Two electronic databases were searched using the search term “neck tongue syndrome”. All English language references were reviewed in full. Cases were abstracted using a standardized abstraction form and the references of the retrieved articles were reviewed by hand to identify additional references and cases. Conference proceedings from recent headache meetings were searched. We also report six new cases from our centers. Results There were 39 primary cases, 56% of which were female. Mean age (SD) at onset was 16 (12) years. Twenty (53%) experienced neck pain, seven (18%) occipital pain, and 11 (29%) both. Pain was most often sharp or stabbing and severe, lasting several seconds to several minutes. Eleven experienced numbness and/or tingling in the neck/occiput following the pain. Thirty-six had an accompanying tongue sensory disturbance and three a motor/posture disturbance; five had both. Thirteen had other headaches, and four a family history of Neck-Tongue syndrome. Conclusions Neck-Tongue syndrome typically has pediatric or adolescent onset, suggesting that ligamentous laxity during growth and development may facilitate transient subluxation of the lateral atlantoaxial joint with sudden head turning. Familial cases suggest a genetic predisposition in some individuals. Neck-Tongue syndrome should be re-instated in the International Classification of Headache Disorders.
