The study of auto- and heterostereotypes of Tuvans and Komi was performed using a specially developed technique. The study conducted in the republics of Komi and Tuva, Russian Federation, involved 60 Komi and 130 Tuvans, respectively. Every participant was asked to perform a free classification of 36 psychological and behavioral traits, each represented by a separate card, relative to the proposed ethnic groups, in accordance with their ideas about these ethnic groups, as well as to characterize him/herself using the same characteristics. The data were processed using the correspondence analysis. The results signal the similarity of self-descriptions (self-image) and descriptions of their own ethnic group by the participants from Komi Republic, whereas significant differences were found in the self-descriptions and the descriptions of their own ethnic group by the Tuvans. We describe the “nuclear” characteristics of the Russian ethnos in the perception of the Tuvans and Komi. The results of the study of auto- and heterostereotypes of Komi and Tuvans can presumably be explained by the transformation of the ethno-cultural and socio-economic environment in the Republics of Komi and Tuva.

Semantic Transformation

Dialect systems, especially island and resettlement, are more conservative and less dynamic in comparison with an actively developing literary language. The oral form of existence of a dialect predetermines a careful attitude to the language and cultural facts leading to the self-identification of an ethnoconfessional community. The preser- vation – in dialects of Local (Lower) Pechora of the Ust-Tsilemsky Region of the Komi Republic of the Russian Federation – of options of phraseological units which, having undergone lexical, structural or semantic transformation, have become steady turns of the literary language is discussed in this article

The article is devoted to the perception and verbalization of somatic (bodily) codes of culture in the conditions of bilingualism and biculturalism. The ability of Komi-Permian bilinguals to identify somatic codes of their culture was revealed. The experiment was conducted in the form of an individual questionnaire in the Komi-Permyak district of the Perm region of the Russian Federation. The experimental material was created using the method of generalized portrait. Two images of real girls (Komi-Permyak and Russian) were superimposed on each other with the help of Face Morph program. “Artificial” person is obtained as a result, which combines somatics representatives of two non-related ethnic groups (Indo-European and Finno-Ugric). Three images (Russian, Komi-Permyak and “artificial” faces) were presented to respondents. It is established that the Komi-Permians recognize faces somatic code well. In the conditions of bilingualism and biculturalism somatic codes of culture in the consciousness of Komi-Perm change more slowly than in Russian. 62% of Komi-Permyaks choose the face of their ethnic group. The Komi-Permians “artificial” person likes least of all (9% of respondents). 29% of the Komi-Perm choose Russian face. Interpretation of the code is a subjective process and often depends on personal perception in the control groups of Russians. Russians choose an “artificial” person is 4 times more often than the Komi-Permians. Choose more often (52%), Komi-Permyatskiy face the Russians, who constantly live in the Permian Komi district. Russians who are not affected by Komi-Permyak culture choose Komi-Permyak face in 42% of cases. Russians Komi-Perm district choose the Russian face 6 times less likely (8,7%) than  face of Komi-Permyaks (52%). Komi-Permians choose a Russian face 3 times more often (29%) than the Russians themselves. The analysis of verbal responses showed that the physicality in the minds of the Komi-Perm with mental and moral characteristics, not physical. These characteristics are actual bodily identifiers for the Komi-Permians.

Contextual Differences

Increasing immigration and intermarriage in Sweden and Japan have led to a growing multiracial and multiethnic population. Approximately 7% of the Swedish population and 2% of the Japanese population are multiracial and multiethnic today. Based on a total of 39 interviews with mixed persons in Sweden and Japan, I examine the self-claimed and ascribed identification among mixed Japanese and mixed Swedes. I argue that, despite the contextual differences, there are commonalities of experiences and identification. These commonalities of experiences shed light on the conditions the mixed individuals feel that they must fulfill in order to have their different claims to identities validated. The study gives a unique insight into how racial appraisal constrains individual choices of identity in a context where there is no official classification of racial and ethnic groups.

Voice Modulation

In every human interaction, interlocutors strive to maintain appropriate decorum and politeness in order to avoid undue feeling of not being ‘nice’ or being insensitive to co-participant’s self-esteem or image. This culture of being ‘nice’ is expressed not only through verbal codes, but also through non-verbal cues such as pitch, tone, voice modulation, facial expression and other forms of body language. Nigeria legislative House reflects the uniqueness of Nigeria as a multicultural nation with about two hundred and fifty ethnic groups. Each tribe has a unique way of expressing ‘nice’ (politeness). This paper examines how Nigerian legislators from different ethnic groups acknowledge the self-esteem of other legislators during senate debates. The study used Scollon and Scollon’s politeness principle which states that in every interaction there is a continuous ‘face’ (self-image) negotiation and this ‘face’ which is made up of two aspects - involvement and independent- must be balanced during interactions because ‘face’ is a paradoxical concept. The interest of this study is to identify and to explain how politicians, who though are in opposition, acknowledge the self-esteem of others. Six hansards were sampled from 2009 to 2010, one bill from each quarter of the year. It was discovered that speakers almost always punctuate their contributions to debate with different types of politeness indicators as a means of acknowledging both the involvement and dependent face wants of participants. The politeness indicators often used by senators include address forms which are used not only as vocative (to the presiding senator) but also as designative (for reference to a third person mentioned in the speech), first person plural pronouns, rhetorical (speech) politeness markers and ritualized utterances.

The article is devoted to the issues related to the names of ethnic groups of the Komi-Perm people, as well as the Russians living in the Komi-Perm district. Special attention is paid to the modern ethnonym Komi-Permyak , which contains in its composition both the foreign component (Permyak) and the term-self-name (Komi), as an exceptional example of such self-identification among all representatives of the Finno-Ugric language family. The article touches upon the problem of variability of names denoting today the Yazva and Zuzdin Komi-Perm people living outside the Komi-Perm district. Reasons for the emergence of pejorative ethnonyms in the speech of the Komi-Perm are revealed. The material shows that the opposition "the person of my group" - "the person of a different group" (even if the languages are cognate) first of all is based on the features of language as the most important sign of any ethnos. A number of features characterizes the names denoting ethnic groups of the Komi-Perm people at the present stage. For the official designation of the ethnic group (Komi-Permyak), a variant containing both an external ethnonym and a self-name component were adopted. In an informal setting, the self-name (Komi) is preserved, while the foreign term (Permyak) is lost. Yazva Komi-Perm and Zuzdin Komi-Perm for the self-identification adopted the received external identifier (Permian) and lost touch with the self-name (Komi). To implement the leading interdialectal differences in the area the name-pejorative lodz/vodz "gadfly" is used. The Russian-speaking population of the Yurlinsky district, called paryonki “steamed vegetables” by the Komi-Perm, identifies itself as a nickname of Russian origin.

A total of 253 British and 318 American students were asked to make various estimates of overall intelligence as well as Gardner's (1999a) new list of 10 multiple intelligences. They made these estimations (11 in all) for themselves, their partner, and for various well-known figures such as Prince Charles, Tony Blair, Bill Gates, and Bill Clinton. Following previous research there were various sex and nationality differences in self-estimated IQ: Males rated themselves higher on verbal, logical, spatial, and spiritual IQ compared to females. Females rated their male partner as having lower verbal and spiritual, but higher spatial IQ than was the case when males rated their female partners. Participants considered Bill Clinton (2 points) and Prince Charles (5 points) less intelligent than themselves, but Tony Blair (5 points) and Bill Gates (15 points) more intelligent than themselves. Multiple regressions indicated that the best predictors of one's overall IQ estimates were logical, verbal, existential, and spatial IQ. Factor analysis of the 10 and then 8 self-estimated scores did not confirm Gardner's classification of multiple intelligences. Results are discussed in terms of the growing literature in the self-estimates of intelligence, as well as limitations of that approach.
