Based on the publications of Russian scientists, the notions of the symbol in the humanities are studied. The problem of the nature, essence and purpose of a symbol, raised back in Antiquity, remains quite relevant at the present time. In Russian linguistics, the "symbolic" theme occupies one of the leading places, but a clear and unambiguous definition of the symbol is still missing. It is established that a symbol is an umbrella semantic formation, covering the subject areas of several scientific disciplines, outside the context of a specific scientific field or theory; it is a pro-term and can act as a generic name for any semiotic unit. The symbolism of the exact sciences and most of the linguistic signs falls into the category of conventional signs, in which the correspondence of the plans of expression and content is arbitrary, the symbolism of the exact sciences and most of the linguistic signs, while the symbolism of all other areas of knowledge falls into the category of motivated semiotic units, in which the plan of expression is one way or another connected with the content plan, and this connection is conditioned by similarity, contiguity, or in some other way. Endowing a motivated sign with a name leads to a ―doubling‖ of the semantic structure of a new formation, when the signifier of this sign – an image or a generalized representation – turns into a signified, sending to another signified, in relation to which it acts as a signifier. A symbol in its most general form is a sign in which the primary content is used as an exponent of another, more abstract and culturally valuable content. The list of specific characteristics of a symbol, both obligatory and optional, compiled according to scientific discourse, includes: ―vector‖ – the direction of symbolization from the concrete to the abstract; transcendence – going beyond the limits of real existence; vagueness and fragility of semantic boundaries, layering and depth; interpretation – the need for active work of thought and imagination to comprehend the symbolized meaning; coded deep meaning, mystery and mysticism; ―passwordness‖, intended for the initiated; intuitiveness; emotiogenicity, mobilizing force; axiology and ideology. The optional properties of a symbol are aesthetic appeal, emphasizing its socio-cultural significance, and, for ancient symbols, ―archetypeness‖ as belonging to the number of primary ideas and images. The functions of the symbol include: generally semiotic – informative and communicative; specific – epistemological, axiological, emotive-affective, social, cultural-unifying, representative, and in some of the symbols – aesthetic and mobilizing.

The article is devoted to the definition of concept in modern linguistics. Various points of view and definitions of the basic concepts are considered: "concept", "conceptual sphere", "content". The aim of the article is to describe and explain such a complex unit as a concept from the point of view of linguistics. The object of research is studied in its various manifestations, the combination of verbal and nonverbal means of information expression in the conceptual sphere is revealed. the relevance of this topic is due to the need for a detailed consideration of the concept of concept based on the works of prominent scientists and linguists. Researchers treat the concept as a cognitive, psycholinguistic, linguocultural, cultural and linguistic phenomenon. The concept is an umbrella term because it "covers" the subject areas of several scientific fields: primarily cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics.

Nowadays, more than 1 billiard of “computer names” have been registered, that is why it is vital to outline the Internet-onomastics into a separate branch of onomastics. The article reflects upon discussions in the Ukrainian and Russian linguistics related to the interpretation of the new terms of proper names that function in the Internet. Though the Internet communication has been constantly developing, linguists have not developed a unified system of proper names for the Internet-communication. Some terms that have been proposed are not always consistent with main word-formation requirements: relevance, eloquence and analogy. Moreover, they do not reflect Slavic onomastic naming tradition. There is an urgent need to create a unified system of the Internet-onomastic; in particular, by minimalizing a range of synonymic terms and by actualizing their transparent motivation. Researchers give some propositions as to the aptness of usage and active introduction of some terms, justifying some motives for the nomination.

This article examines the universal category of space and its representation in the multicultural and multilingual Khatango-Anabarsky cultural landscape. The Dolgan language in Khatangsky and Anabarsky multilingual societies develops evenly and has specifics of functionality. The Russian language that is the state language in the Russian Federation, along with the Yakut language that is cognate to the Dolgan language and has greater communicative capacity in the territory of Yakutia,  play considerable role in these processes. The description of the Dolgan concept of space is carried out by the following scheme: 1) semantic analysis of the lexis that reflects space and is notionally named spatial; 2) spatial analysis of the regional toponymy and ethno-economic territorial system of the Dolgan people; 3) psycholinguistic analysis of content of the concept. The novelty of this research lies in description of the peculiarities of linguistic consciousness of the bilinguals on the example of the Dolgan concept of space, which is viewed alongside the regional toponymy and ethno-economic territorial system of the Dolgan people. Space is the subject of research in various scientific disciplines. This article reviews its psycho-linguoculturological aspect. In accordance with the anthropocentric research model, the study explores the correlation between the language, culture and mentality, and complies with the definition of the concept as a certain "bundle of culture within human mind” [Stepanov, 2001, p.43]. Thus, the special lexis, besides the generally accepted binary oppositions, should include the geographical terms with landscape peculiarities, which in the authors’ opinion, can be the reflection of space.

In this article, the author examines the theoretical foundations of the study of the academic discourse of Russian and foreign authors. The definition of «scientific discourse / text / style» used in Russian linguistic and philological disciplines goes back to the paradigm of functional stylistics. The definition of «academic» in relation to «communication / discourse / text», emerging from the English-speaking tradition, grows out of the methodological direction of applied linguistics «English for Academic Purposes». Having considered these concepts, the author comes to the conclusion that the nomination «academic discourse» is used by analogy with Russian «scientific discourse» and English «academic discourse» to denote the entire set of communicative phenomena within the framework of the interaction of subjects of scientific and pedagogical spheres of activity.

The name of this commission was recently changed from “Parallaxes and Proper Motions”. These data are at this time indeed obtained mostly by the techniques of photographic astrometry, but so is the bulk of relative star positions. It is clear, however, that the nonabsolute determination of relative positions and data derived from them in narrow fields (which describes the scope of this Commission) is going to be carried out more and more also by nonphotographic methods, namely photoelectrically (Earth and satellite based) by interferometry (optical, radio, and speckle) and by direct imaging. This therefore creates considerable overlap with the subject areas and methods of a number of other Commissions, especially Commission 8, and it will be appropriate for Commission 24 in the near future to examine critically the overlapping areas of interest and to come to an agreement about the definition of the proper responsibilities of the individual commissions.

In all sciences, there is a general agreement that hypotheses can be defined under the rules of scientific defining. Consequently, with most authors in different sciences and scientific disciplines, it is indisputable that there is a general agreement of different theoretical and methodological directions that hypotheses are based on assumptions about the phenomenon, problem, and subject of research, which are expressed in the form of attitudes and judgments and have some cognitive value, in all sciences as well as in historical research. Hypotheses are determined by the definition of the problem, the subject of the research, and the goals of the research, primarily scientific ones. Hypotheses in all sciences, even historical ones, consist of variables and attitudes of a hypothesis that expresses the relations between variables. It is necessary to distinguish hypotheses in the process of acquiring scientific knowledge and in scientific research projects.

The paper presents the first in Russian scientific discourse public relations (PR) concept analysis on the digital data-driven mediatization context. These phenomena comparative analysis results offer a more relevant research approach, conceptual framework and tools for the public relations and mediatization studies. It is important to use the subject-to-object research paradigm to identify the main subjects - communication customers - to determine the parameters of the communicative figuration in the mediatization studies more accurately. The practical and conceptual mediatization and public relations framework is being transformed due the newest deep mediatization paradigm which provokes a conceptual mediation and public relations convergence.

The article is devoted to the analysis of conceptual (scientific) and methodological strategies for designing the content of the regional component of the educational area “Art” on the example of Transbaikal Studies. A new educational sphere “Art” has been introduced into the educational programs of Russian schools. In a multinational state, the federal law “On Education in the Russian Federation” presupposes the implementation of the national-regional component in the lessons of the integrated course “Art”. This actualizes the need for a textbook on the art of Transbaikalia, which suggests a constructive reformatting of the definition of the content of the subject, which, in our opinion, should be preceded by an analysis of the conceptualization of scientific approaches to the selection of sections of the curriculum, subject and thematic components, educational technologies that develop the creative potential of the student. In modern education, the main subject areas of art are a fairly harmonious system of knowledge, value attitudes, artistic skills that ensure the full realization of the student’s creative potential. The relevance of the introduction of new subject areas is determined by the fundamental importance of integrating school education into contemporary art and culture.The widespread use of the figurative representation of knowledge in modern conditions (visual, iconic, pictoral), technical means of creating new imagery and the problems of simulating aesthetic worlds arising in this case, the peculiarities of the cognitive development of modern students (mosaicism, fragmentation, clip-like thinking) determine their perception of art. New sources of student motivation and ways of teaching students in a distance learning environment, current trends in technology, culture and art (D. Bachman-Medic, K. Schwab) have led to fundamental changes in the modern culture of education, the activation of additional resources for the cognitive development of students. Keywords: regional component, educational area “Art”, classical theory of art, design of the content of the subject area, principles of content selection, gaining epistemological agreement, consensus of subject specificity of the course

The article presents a methodological approach to studying iterative processes in the school course of geometry, by the example of constructing a Koch snowflake fractal curve and calculating a few characteristics of it. The interactive creative environment 1C:MathKit is chosen to visualize the method discussed. By performing repetitive constructions and algebraic calculations using ICT tools, students acquire a steady skill of work with geometric objects of various levels of complexity, comprehend the possibilities of mathematical interpretation of iterative processes in practice, and learn how to understand the dialectical unity between finite and infinite parameters of flat geometric figures. When students are getting familiar with such contradictory concepts and categories, that replenishes their experience of worldview comprehension of the subject areas they study through the concept of “big ideas”. The latter allows them to take a fresh look at the processes in the world around. The article is a matter of interest to schoolteachers of computer science and mathematics, as well as university scholars who teach the course “Concepts of modern natural sciences”.

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.
