The development of information technologies, change of political system and other socio-political changes in the life of any state, leave an imprint on the linguistic consciousness of a typical native speaker. Notwithstanding, the national conceptual sphere or nave linguistic picture of the world has undergone significant changes, for all the changes in the world around us are fragmentally recorded in the collective linguistic consciousness of Russian language native speakers. The concepts of old age that were relevant to the residents of our state three decades ago, have undergone significant changes. Negative attitude to the old age, pessimism, and a sense of the inevitable end of life, have been replaced by the hope of a prosperous, happy, financially stable old age. The younger generation does not hesitate to draw a parallel between such concepts as old age and retirement - this fact was recorded for the first time as previously, the scientific studies based on data from associative experiments, hadnt noted similar approach. The above conclusions were obtained as a result of a chain associative experiment with the word-stimulus old age, which involves obtaining 3 reactions of students to this stimulus (on the basis of the Faculty of Philology of the RUDN). 99 students (aged 17-25), native speakers of the Russian language, were selected to participate in the experiment (these parameters are reflected in the questionnaire of the subjects). Due to the unfavorable epidemiological situation and the conditions of distance learning, the experiment was conducted in an online format using the MS Forms application. The obtained resulting associative-verbal network of the concept old age was compared with the characteristics of the above-mentioned concept, recorded in the Associative Dictionary of the Russian Language edited by Yuri Nikolaevich Karaulov.

The research is devoted to one of the modern trends in linguistics - cultural linguistics. The topicality is related to the study of the Russian language functioning as the language of diaspora in the eastern region of Latvia - Latgale. The research aims to characterize the means of expressing the concept fire based on modelling and analyzing its associative field in the aspect of Latvian picture of the world. Theory and practice of the associative experiment were used as a methodological framework for the research. The method of free associative experiment reveals the specific features of different cultures, as well as the functional peculiarities of the linguistic consciousness both of a separate individual - a native speaker, and of a certain ethnic or national group. The word fire (Latvian - uguns) was suggested as a stimulus word. The received reactions were analyzed according to linguistic and cultural-contextual aspects. A comparative analysis of the associative fields revealed both the specific features of the Russian linguistic picture of the world, which combines the characteristics inherent in the Russian language of the metropolis and the ones that indicate the influence of the linguistic and cultural environment, and the features and signs that coincide or are identical in the Russian and the Latvian linguistic picture of the worlds. The data processing and the analysis define the concept fire precisely as a full-fledged concept in the perception of the native speakers of the Russian language in Latgale, since not only the dictionary meaning is actualized in their linguistic picture of the world, but also a multi-level associative field, unique in terms of contextual connotations, is modelled.

В статье рассматриваются особенности выражения пространственных отношений именными локативными группами с названиями частей тела. Анализ показал, что выбор предлогов в или на при выражении пространственных отношений существительными, называющими части тела, в большой степени обусловлен особенностями восприятия мира носителями русского языка. The article touches upon the subject of spatial relations expressed by means of body part names in Russian language. The research demonstrated, that the choice of prepositions v (in) or na (on) when expressing spatial relations with body part names is largely due to the peculiarities of the perception of the world by native speakers of the Russian language.

The paper presents the study of the mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya (Damp Mother Earth) as a part of the Russian language picture of the world. Mythologeme is a phenomenon of language consciousness going back to a certain archetype. The authors have revealed that the linguistic consciousness of the Russian language native speakers firmly holds the linguoculturological meanings of the mythologeme under study, with most striking, firmly rooted in the Russian language picture of the world, the differential signs associated with this mythologeme being: ‘person (female)’ (48.5 %), ‘mother’ (26.3 %), ‘goddess’ (17.3 %), ‘surface’ (5.4 %), ‘grave’ (2.5 %). The mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya combines two differential signs: ‘birth’ and ‘death’. The earth is the birth womb and grave into which a person leaves after death. There is evidence of syncretism of sememes due to the change of religion: the adoption of Christianity when a new ritual practice of funerals came to Russian culture. According to the analysis, the mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya implements a complex of signs in the Russian linguistic culture, with the prototype being a more ancient mythologeme - Velikaya Boginya Mat’ (the Great Mother Goddess). The study has revealed the following associative meanings related to the mythologeme Mat’-Syra-Zemlya in the Russian linguistic culture: 1. Earthly life in this world; 2. Agricultural activities of man (plowing); 3. Family - earthly and heavenly; 4. Ritual practice (oath, frankincense; handful / pinch of land transported to a new land); 5. Death and funeral; 6. Birth and return to earth.

The article analyzes functioning of winged units nominating officials in literary and publicistic texts included in the Russian National Corpus. The authors consider that every winged phrase is a combination of mental ideas of the nation. Thus, winged units are important concepts verbalisators though they are found at the semantic field periphery. The article brings out the differences in the usage of winged units with the common seme “official” in texts by native Russian speakers which allows to reconstruct the image of an official existing in the Russian linguistic picture of the world. Most units can be found at the periphery of the semantic field and thus cannot claim to be universal in nominating officials because of low frequency of their use. The most universal nominations for officials are the following ones: Derzhimorda, Kuvshinnoe rylo, Schvonder, Sergeant Prishibeyev, Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, that can be related to the near periphery of the concept “Official” field verbalisators. The analysis of winged units’ meanings with the seme “official” allows specifying ideas of an official in the Russian linguistic picture of the world: the majority of the winged units convey a negative attitude of native speakers to officials.

The object of this article is the language game in its various manifestations. The subject of this research is the proverbs and sayings of the Swahili language, in which the author attempts to trace the linguistic phenomenon. Special attention is given to various means of language game at different language levels. The goal is to determine whether it is possible to interpret the term “language game” in a broad sense, as well as the extent of application of such linguistic tool in proverbs and sayings of the Swahili language. The article explores different perspectives upon the concept of language game. Analysis is conducted on the Swahili paroemias that demonstrate different ways of language game. The survey results carried out among the native speakers of Swahili are presented. This article is the first to analyze the ways of realization of language game in proverbs and sayings of the Swahili language on the various linguistic levels. The author demonstrates the examples from the corpus of Swahili paroemias, which were translated into the Russian language for the first time. The conclusion is made that language game takes place not only in the written texts, but also in folklore, which indicates that alongside a writer or a linguist, the author of the language game can also be a native speaker. It is underlined hat versatility is also characteristic to the Swahili language paroemias.

The fairy tales contain plot and language elements that illustrate the ethical concepts of the Russian language picture of the world. Linguistic and cultural unit, which is rich in Russian fairy tale, known to every native speaker, on the one hand, complicate the understanding of them foreigners, and on the other help to understand the “Russian spirit” and traditions of Russian involved in Russian culture and allow formation of linguocultural competence for learners of Russian language. When referring to fairy tales, it is effective to use a linguocultural comment. Linguistic and cultural commentary refers to additional culturally significant information contained in texts and disclosed in their interpretation. This comment can be used at the elementary and basic levels. At an advanced level, you can analyze concepts that reveal the features of the Russian worldview. Ethical concepts reflect the value picture of the human world. These concepts include love and loyalty, humility and submission, joy and suffering, wisdom and patience, charity, and others. Russian fairy tales, describing the way of life, customs and traditions, spiritual and ethical values of the Russian people, are a reflection of the Russian mentality. For successful communication with native speakers and comfortable stay in a foreign language space, foreigners need to understand the values and mentality of the Russian people. Studying ethical concepts in fairy tales in the RFR classes forms a linguistic and cultural competence for foreign students, whose knowledge leads to rapid and successful adaptation in Russia, and the elimination of cultural and communicative barriers when communicating with native speakers of the Russian language.

The article deals with the concept, project and originality of the new type of onomasiological naming dictionary formation. There are a number of psycholinguistic studies on the basis of the Naming Dictionary articles. The results of these studies show linguomarketing potential of the words-bionyms and their real function in company names, peculiarities of the native speaker linguistic consciousness, correlation lexicographic and “psychologically real” meaning of the word and peculiarities of the linguistic sign variation. The Naming Russian Dictionary reflects the knowledge about words in fundamentally new dimension: not according to the prescriptive function (in the current dictionary it is kept to the minimum) but in terms of the native speakers’ idea about word semantics and its reference with reality. An additional point is that the dictionary is made on the basis of the linguistic experiment. It provides not only enlargement of current linguistic studies in the sphere of the linguomarketology but it allows one to study an ordinary linguistic consciousness of native speakers of the Russian language.

The need to write this article is due to the linguistic situation, that has developed, in particular, in Ukraine, when, as a result of the activation of migration processes, the object of forensic research is increasingly becoming speech with foreign language elements. Based on this, an acute problem arises of developing methodological approaches to the forensic study of speech material with signs of interlingual interference, its distinction from common speech using foreign language elements (pidgin in Ukrainian realities), and, if necessary, the appearance of signs of imitation of speech in a non-native language. The article deals with the universal basic criteria for establishing signs of interlingual interference: consistency, complexity, predictability, stability of their manifestation, which makes it possible to distinguish them from signs of speech in the native language, and, no less important, from signs of pidgin or imitation, which do not have the above properties. The possibilities of obtaining useful information in the process of studying speech with signs of interlingual interference are also analyzed, which concerns, in particular: 1) establishing whether the speaker is a native speaker of the language in which he speaks; 2) establishing the native language of the speaker (provided that the expert is fluent in this language); 3) establishing whether the participants in the polylogue or dialogue are speakers of one or different languages; 4) conducting an identification study of speech in a non-native language of two speakers of the same language, etc. Proceeding from the fact that interlingual interference is, in fact, a complex feature that can be unambiguously established only if its manifestations are recorded at different linguistic levels, the article discusses possible forms of its implementation in phonetic, prosodic, morphological, lexical, syntactic, ethnolinguistic levels. As specific examples of a comprehensive study of the signs of interlanguage interference, the article sets out the systems of the main signs of interlanguage interference that can be recorded in the speech in Russian of the native speakers of the Ukrainian language and in the speech in the Ukrainian language of the native speakers of the Russian language.

Актуальность рассматриваемой проблемы в общелингвистическом аспекте связана с региональным варьированием русского языка, а в частноязыковедческом плане с недостаточной его изученностью на территории РСО-А. Такое изучение дает возможность познакомиться с особенностями его функционирования в поликультурном пространстве, взаимодействием с различными сферами осетинской языковой картины мира, а также выявить региональные культурные маркеры. Цель исследования состоит в изучении в коммуникативном пространстве РСО-А лексико-семантических особенностей регионального варианта русского языка, обусловленных лексическими заимствованиями из осетинского языка, отражающими воздействие осетинской культуры на русскую региональную культуру. Для достижения поставленной цели использовались следующие методы: описательный (сбор материала, обработка, интерпретация и обобщение), включающий приемы сопоставления, типологизации анализируемого материала; социолингвистический (методика наблюдения, включающая анкетирование, интервьюирование, эксперимент); лингвокультурологический, предусматривающий исследование языковых явлений в тесной связи с культурой носителей языка. Научная новизна работы заключается в том, что в ней исследованы актуальные, социально и культурно значимые для современного местного русскоязычного социума осетинские регионализмы, выявлены сферы языковой картины мира носителей русского языка, наиболее подверженные влиянию со стороны осетинского языка. Установлено, что функционирование осетинских локализмов носителями русского языка обусловлено психологическим, социальным, культурным взаимодействием с носителями осетинского языка. Динамика функционирования регионализмов зависит не только от их собственного языкового «веса», но и культурной значимости. Доказано, что использование русскоязычными говорящими осетинских регионализмов не ощущается ими в качестве непрестижного, а рассматривается как средство их идентификации в культурном пространстве своего региона, что обусловлено как историческими, так и социокультурными причинами. В результате исследования авторы пришли к выводу о связи регионального варианта русского языка на территории РСО-А с процессом заимствования, который демонстрирует различную степень освоения и тем самым устойчивого и ситуативного употребления заимствованного из осетинского языка слова в русском высказывании. Лексико-семантическая специфика регионального варианта русского языка на территории РСО-А заключается в том, что он включает в свой состав определенное количество осетинских регионализмов, заполняющих существующие лакуны в основном в сфере бытового общения. Употребление осетинских регионализмов носителями русского языка всегда мотивировано: регионализм выступает в качестве единицы особого номинативного, семантического, экспрессивного содержания, функционирующей в ситуации непринужденного общения, когда социальный контроль за речью проявляется в меньшей степени. Именно эти качества обеспечивают устойчивость региональных явлений в русском языке. Регионализмы неоднородны в лексико-грамматическом и семантико-тематическом аспектах. The relevance of the problem under consideration in the general linguistic aspect is associated with regional variation of the Russian language, and in the special linguistic plan with insufficient knowledge of it in the territory of North Ossetia-Alania. Such study makes it possible to get acquainted with the features of its functioning in a multicultural space, interaction with various areas of the Ossetian language picture of the world, as well as identify regional cultural markers. The purpose of the study is to study in the communicative space of North Ossetia-Alania the lexical and semantic features of the regional version of the Russian language, due to lexical borrowings from the Ossetian language, reflecting the impact of Ossetian culture on Russian regional culture. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: descriptive (collection of material, processing, interpretation and generalization), including methods of comparison, typology of the analyzed material; sociolinguistic (observation technique, including questioning, interviewing, experiment); linguoculturological, involving the study of linguistic phenomena in close connection with the culture of native speakers. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it investigated the Ossetian regionalisms that are relevant, socially and culturally significant for the modern local Russian-speaking society, identified areas of the linguistic picture of the world of native speakers of the Russian language that are most affected by the Ossetian language. It is established that the functioning of Ossetian localisms by native speakers of the Russian language is due to psychological, social, cultural interaction with native speakers of the Ossetian language. The dynamics of the functioning of regionalisms depends not only on their own linguistic "weight", but also on cultural significance. It is proved that the use of Ossetian regionalisms by Russian-speaking speakers is not perceived by them as non-prestigious, but is considered as a means of identifying them in the cultural space of their region, which is due to both historical and sociocultural reasons. As a result of the work done, the following results were obtained. The regional version of the Russian language in the territory of the North Ossetia-Alania is associated with the borrowing process, which demonstrates a different degree of development and thereby the sustainable and situational use of the word borrowed from the Ossetian language in the Russian utterance. The lexical and semantic specificity of the regional version of the Russian language on the territory of North Ossetia-Alania lies in the fact that it includes a certain number of Ossetian regionalisms that fill the existing gaps mainly in the field of everyday communication. The use of Ossetian regionalisms by native speakers of the Russian language is always motivated: regionalism acts as a unit of special nominative, semantic, expressive content, functioning in a situation of informal communication, when social control over speech is manifested to a lesser extent. It is these qualities that ensure the sustainability of regional phenomena in the Russian language. Regionalisms are heterogeneous in the lexical-grammatical and semantic-thematic aspects.
