Communicative Strategy

The article examines the communicative strategy of self-presentation in female dialect discourse. Female dialect discourse is understood as a gender-marked type of dialect discourse. On the one hand, it incorporates all the features of dialect discourse; on the other, it has a number of features due to the gender of the subject. The sources of the study were oral autobiographical stories recorded during dialectological expeditions organized by the staff of Tomsk State University from 1946 to the present time in the areas where Russian old-timer dialects of the Middle Ob region are in use. The description of self-presentation strategy tactics in the female dialect discourse includes the following stages: identification and typification of the main tactics; analysis of their content; description of their linguistic expression. Based on the nature of the data provided (presence or absence of a subjective evaluative component), the authors identified the key tactics implementing the strategy of self-presentation: transferring objective information and transferring subjective information. The tactic of transferring objective information about oneself involves the transfer of factual information of a logical nature, which is based on facts: age, marital status, presence/absence of children, profession, place of residence, etc. The tactic of transferring subjective information contains the respondent’s evaluation of their appearance, character traits, intellectual level, life experience, description of the emotional state, interests, demonstration of attitudes. A positive impression of oneself in female dialect discourse is verbalized through the creation of a worthy image that corresponds to social and moral norms. Women demonstrate the following character traits and life principles: diligence, honesty, decency, calm temper, cleanliness, hospitality, negative attitude to alcohol, etc. Life values and principles are expressed through a positive description of close relatives, contrast with other people, negative evaluation or condemnation of actions and moral qualities of other people. The transmission of negative information about oneself is associated with evaluations of one’s intelligence, memory, speech abilities, appearance, age-related changes, as well as the informants’ belonging to rural culture, low educational level, lack of qualifications and profession. The communicative self-presentation strategy tactics in female dialect discourse are verbalized using multilevel linguistic means: evaluative vocabulary, metaphors, comparisons, numerals, adverbs, and various types of statements.

The article is devoted to the study of the subgenre "portrait interview-sketch", which has not been studied within the English-language Olympic discourse. The analyzed materi- als were published on the official website of the US Olympic team during the 2018 Winter Olympics. The means of implementing a self-presentation strategy designed to create a positive image of athletes-members of the Olympic team, which can be used as the basis for representing the image of the country as a whole, are identified and illustrated at the lexical, phraseological, morphological and semantic levels. The current research has demonstrated the disengagement of this genre from politics.

Moral and civic education is complex and achieved in time. Students are active subjects of society involved in community life by means of their families, groups of friends but also specific relationships they have with various institutions. Moral development theories are elements that support the illustration and translation of the educational space into the form of skills, moral habits, positive character traits expressed at the level of the school population. Our research demonstrates the importance of using moral and civic education strategies consistent with the curriculum objectives and content, to contribute to the formation of character traits and socio-moral behaviour of students.  The theme was researched during the 2015-2016 school year at “G. M. Cancicov” Middle School Bacău and involved the support of 4 headmasters of 6th-grade classes, together with 2 teachers of Civic Culture and Religion teaching at these classes. The research group consisted of 90 students, aged 12-13, of whom 45 are girls and 45 boys. There were applied initial evaluation, formative evaluation and final evaluation tests. Comparing the results from the initial and final evaluations it was found that the students’ situation has improved, most students have translated into practice the theoretical elements accumulated,  they built a sense of will and character, as well as moral feelings (friendship, comradeship, respect, etc). From the observations made in various situations it was found that all students have acquired certain moral norms, theoretical aspects were put into practice to a higher degree, students showed more respect towards older, vulnerable people and others, became more polite, with attitudes of openness towards others, regarding punctuality, sincerity and other features as compulsory character traits.

Positive Memories

Abstract Centrality of an event (CE) is a characteristic denoting how important a life experience is to one’s identity. Usually, positive memories are more central than negative ones in the community samples. Nevertheless, there is emerging evidence showing substantial individual differences in how one perceives CE. Especially regarding age, one could expect pronounced differences due to age-related changes in personal goals. In this study, we investigated how older adults differ from young and middle-aged adults. Apart from age, we tested whether personality traits such as neuroticism and openness to experience influence the CE ratings among age groups. The sample comprised of 363 German participants, age ranging from 18 to 89 (M=49.57, SD=17.087), 67.2 % of the sample were women. Using multilevel analysis, we found the CE of positive memories to be higher in all age groups. The CE of positive events significantly differed for older adults compared to younger adults but not to the middle-aged group. With respect to personality, neuroticism had an impact only on the CE of negative memories in younger and middle-aged adults. For older adults, neither neuroticism, nor openness to experience had an impact on CE ratings. This shows that while older adults significantly differ from younger adults in the CE of positive memories, other individual differences characteristics do not have an impact on the way older adults perceive memories as central to their identity.
