This research establishes Database of Morpheme Meaning Annotations for Compounds, and statistically analyses the using frequency of morphemes and their meanings in the database. The research shows that the using frequency of “zi” (子) and “er” (儿) is the highest, and their meanings with the highest using frequency are applied when the morphemes are affixes. Among various meanings of one morpheme, only one meaning would be applied with high frequency, with simpler and specific implications. By overviewing all morphemes, it is observed that those with higher using frequency do not necessarily have meanings with high frequency of use. By analyzing internal structures of compounds, this paper finds that noun-modification compounds are the most, followed with verb-object compounds and affixation compounds. The semantic logic relations between morphemes and compound words can be: word definitions can be the abstraction of objects signified by morpheme meanings, or of senses signified by morpheme meanings, or of spatial meanings signified by morpheme meanings.

The article considers the place of Abay's poems in modern Kazakh artistic texts. Each author conveys his worldview and worldview in different situations through an artistic text. His lexicon includes, along with various means of the national language, fragments of various texts known to varying degrees in a certain linguistic and cultural community, as well as the word use of poets and writers who lived and worked before him. Such fragments may be used without change or А.С. Əділова, Б.С. Каукербекова 12 Вестник Карагандинского университета with a transformation. In the Kazakh linguistic and cultural community, Abay's poems can be called strong literary texts with a high frequency of use. Quotation at the level of structure, word, phrase, sentence, whole text can be seen in poetic and prose texts of the last 60–70 years in the Kazakh literary process. In this regard, the texts of such writers as M. Makataev, M. Magauin, J. Abdrashev, G. Zhailybai, G. Sаlykbai, M. Raiymbek, J. Sarsek are immediately recalled. Pointing out that this trend continues by young poets engaged in creativity in the last decades of this, XXI century, the authors concludes that the legacy of Abay is a standard of verbal art for more generations of poets and writers.

The purpose of this research paper is to look into the current situation of using learning strategies and the key factors that influence English learning strategies of tertiary students who major in economics at Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City. On the basis of Oxford’s (1990) theory on language learning strategies, the study conducted a questionnaire survey with the participation of 300 students. The results show that economics-majored students use English learning strategies at a relatively high frequency, with the metacognitive strategies group having the highest frequency; the groups of affective strategies and compensation strategies have the lowest frequency of use. It also draws a conlusion that individual factors such as gender, grade level, and major do not appear to have a significant impact on students' use of English learning strategies. There are no significant differences between male and female students, between students of all grades, and between students of different majors in the frequency of using English learning strategies.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to better understand the characteristics of the language-related skills of bilingual children with specific learning disorders (SLD). The aim is achieved by analyzing language-related skills in a sample of bilingual (Italian plus another language) and Italian monolingual children, with and without SLD.Patients and methods: A total of 72 minors aged between 9 and 11 were recruited and divided into four groups: 18 Italian monolingual children with SLD, 18 bilingual children with SLD, 18 Italian monolingual children without SLD, and 18 bilingual children without SLD. Each child underwent tests to evaluate different aspects of language skills: lexical and grammar, metalanguage and executive functions.Results: With regard to lexical and grammatical skills, the conditions of SLD and bilingualism both impact naming in terms of total number of errors for words with low frequency of use, while the condition of SLD has an effect on semantic errors for words with low frequency of use. The condition of bilingualism impacts on the total errors for words with high frequency of use and on circumlocution-type errors for words with low frequency of use. There were significant effects of bilingualism and SLD on the metalinguistic test for understanding implicit meaning, and an impact of SLD on phonological awareness was also found.Conclusion: The results suggest that both SLD and bilingualism have an effect on some lexical skills, in particular for words with low frequency of use. Both conditions, bilingualism and SLD, seem to impact on metalinguistic abilities that depend on lexical knowledge. These findings reinforce the importance of improving understanding of the neuropsychological profile of bilingual children with SLD.

The article attempts to examine the inter-penetration of certain lexical syntagms and their role in political discourse, i.e. to observe how they are applied to demonstrate political reality. The detailed investigation reveals that the lexical syntagms under observation have acquired the value of political terms due to a high frequency of use. Otherwise stated, they have become politicized and in combination with other lexical units, they tend to create reproducible or patterned political expressions.

Expressive prefixes are a specific word-formation category, unknown in synchronic derivatology. It is about word-formation elements which are essentially prefixes, but which are not recognised as such in the structure of the word. They can be isolated only by word-formation and etymological analysis. In the present paper, this category is studied within the context of dialectal material provided by J. K. Koprivica?s Dictionary of the Banjani, Grahovo and Oputne Rudine Speech. It is concluded that the examined speech contains a considerable number of expressively prefixed forms. Many of them have developed word families (e.g. ceprljati ?to dig, scratch?, comrgiti se ?to frown?, kovrijeziti se ?to be angry?, kovrljati ?to roll?, koprciti se ?to show off, boast?, temezgati ?to be slow, sluggish?, totrciti se ?to swagger?), which testifies to their full integration into the lexical system of language and high frequency of use. The analysed material corroborates the statement that the expressive preverbs are a ?productive? word-formation category in the Serbian language.

There are very few studies on the pattern of neuroleptic prescription for schizophrenics in Asia. 106 schizophrenic patients in a psychiatric unit of a general teaching hospital in Hong Kong were surveyed. The mean daily dose (in chlorpromazine equivalent) was low (568.5mg). The mean daily dose of high potency agents was four times that of low potency agents. A high frequency of use of anticholinergic drugs may indicate that Chinese are more susceptible to acute extrapyramidal side-effects.

The article deals with the features of the formal and structural organization of financial terms and designations in the Russian and Chinese languages of different structures, as well as the problems of distinguishing between one-word and names consisting of several words in the Chinese language. Special attention is paid to the problem of the correspondence of Chinese characters to the significant parts of the nominative unit and the division of Chinese financial names into significant structural fragments (morphemes, parts of complex and compound words, names consisting of several words, etc.). The main structural types of financial names in Russian (one-word and consisting of several words) and Chinese (simple, synthetic and consisting of several words) languages are identified, the differences of abbreviated names in Russian and Chinese languages are shown, the quantitative relations of the structural types of Russian and Chinese financial names are considered.

This study aims to identify nominative adjectives in Japanese that are difficult to categorize based on the occurred changes when these words are produced along with the other words. For non-native Japanese learners, this has become a challenging issue. The main reason is the adjective that was classified into two categories in accordance with their changes, i.e., i-adjectives and na-adjectives. These adjectives presented different forms of change that had a tendency of transforming into nouns when collaborating with other nouns. Not only did learners in elementary and secondary level face the difficulties, but also those in upper levels did. The data in this study focused on adjectives with a high frequency of use that were collected from "Gendai Nihongo Kakikotoba Kinko Koopasu". The data was analyzed based on the use of adjectives in sentences taken from the corpus data, which underwent different forms of changes. The results of this study indicated that there were many adjectives that underwent different forms of changes and could be classified into multiple word classes.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mngidentifikasi kata sifat-kata sifat yang bersifat nominatif dalam bahasa Jepang yang sulit dikategorikan berdasarkan perubahan saat berhadapan dengan kata lain. Bagi pembelajar bahasa Jepang non-native speaker, hal seperti ini merupakan permasalahan yang dirasa sulit. Alasannya adalah karena kata sifat yang menurut perubahannya diklasifikasikan menjadi dua yakni kata sifat -i dan kata sifat -na, mengalami perubahan yang tidak seragam dan cenderung menjadi nomina saat dihadapkan dengan nomina. Tidak hanya pada pembelajar tingkat dasar dan menengah, pembelajar tingkat atas pun mengalami kesulitan. Pada penelitian ini, data akan difokuskan pada kata sifat dengan frekuensi pemakaian yang tinggi dan dikumpukan dari “Gendai Nihongo Kakikotoba Kinko Koopasu”. Proses analisis data dilihat dari penggunaan kata sifat dalam kalimat diambil dari data corpus, yang mengalami perubahan tidak seragam. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan banyak kata sifat yang mengalami perubahan tidak seeragam dan dapat diklasifikasikan ke dalam kelas kata ganda.

The article deals with prepositional units formed on the basis of prepositional-noun and widely used in modern Russian media. These units were studied in different aspects and were referred to by different terms. We, following M. V. Vsevolodova, use the broader term “prepositional units” and divide prepositional units into three groups. The first group includes prepositional units of the type ввиду (чего-н.), вместо (кого-чего-н.), вроде (кого-чего-н.), which have a structural integrity. The second group includes such as в силу (чего-н.), в честь (кого-чего-н.), в течение (чего-н.), which differ separately. The third group is prepositional units of the type в рамках (чего-н.), в области (чего-н.), на фоне (чего-н.), etc., which were characterized by the possible insertion of consistent adjectives or pronouns. In the article, using the transitivity scale of V. V. Babaytseva, the similarities and differences of prepositional units are revealed, and the stages they occupy on the path of identification depending on the specifi use are revealed. From the point of view of the diachronic transition of language phenomena, these prepositional units reflect the process of their lexicalization, that is, it is clear that they have turned from separate syntactic units into a single lexical unit. On the other hand, there is also a grammaticalization process, that is, there is a desemanization and decategorization of each element within the unit. It indicates a close relationship between lexicalization and grammaticalization. The functional similarity of the prepositional forms of the noun and the preposition, a high frequency of use «предлог+падежная форма существительного» facilitate the transition into the prepositional units.

Abstract At the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP), various vessels are designed to be agitated with internal pulse jet mixers (PJMs) in order to provide a means of mixing with no moving parts local to the vessel. PJMs are operated by use of an applied vacuum to draw liquid in followed by motive air to force liquid out (while not completely discharging all the liquid). This continual operation results in mixing of the vessel contents. In off-normal conditions, PJMs may completely discharge resulting in air rapidly injected into the vessel (PJM overblow). An evaluation is complete to determine the statically applied transient acoustic event loads resulting from Pulse Jet Mixer (PJM) overblow on a vessel’s internal submerged structures. The high-frequency acoustic load on internal structures is determined via analysis of overblow hydrophone test data, vessel modal and harmonic analysis, determination of an overblow forcing function through a Fourier analysis of test data compared to modal analysis of the vessel, application of the overblow forcing function in a finite element analysis model with acoustic fluid elements, use of a displacement-response spectra, and Hooke’s Law. Compared to previous analyses, this improved method can account for changes to PJM cavity pressure, PJM nozzle diameter, and more accurately represents the loads because it considers geometric constraints.
