In exploring the viewpoints and methodology of text linguistics, the paper presents the results of the author?s research into the role of syntactical units in relation to the units of semantic nature in the formation of the complete structure of a given text as a unit at the level of language pragmatics. The research was done by means of interpretation of language samples in the field of two functional styles, with a focus on defining the role of syntactical structures in the formation of bounded (situational) discourse. The object of examination is (a) the communicative language, by which term the author understands the language of the speaker?s/writer?s report in the casual practice of communication, here - in the practice of school lectures/textbooks in the field of primary curriculum in the domain of natural and social sciences. The author does this by applying the typical instruments of our text linguistics in the analysis of chosen textbook discourse samples. In addition, the author presents his interpretations of syntactical structures? role in the formation of (b) the narrative discourse/text, by applying the same instruments of text linguistic analysis, here - on the selected sample taken from the work of a typically Belgrade-style example of literary language written by Slobodan Selenic. Naturally - all these function in their respective segments of definitions or descriptions (portrayals).

AbstractThis article provides some groundwork for applying the cognitive linguistic theory of force dynamics (Talmy 1988, 2000) to narrative discourse. It proposes that Talmy's analytic apparatus is suitable for revealing character-related dynamics in literature, especially by exploiting the previously unnoticed convergence with the notion of actancy proposed by the narratologist Greimas (1966). Force imagery both in ordinary action descriptions and in metaphor opens a vista on how readers infer, stabilize, and elaborate narrative macro-representations of “who wants what” and “who does what to whom?” Hence, texts subtly encode aspects of higher-level story logic through forces, enabling readers (and scholars) to detect and scale up coherence patterns that shed light on character motives, protagonist interaction, and plot dynamics. A full-scale text linguistic analysis is proposed. My case study of about 500 text units found in Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's novella Carmilla (1872) reveals a dynamic web of driving, penetrating, manipulating, attracting, and erupting forces between the two main protagonists, a beautiful girl vampire and her 19 year-old victim.

The Subject

This work is dedicated to the role of research culture in promotion of scientific articles. Analysis is conducted on the most common errors or inaccuracies in writing the scientific articles. Definition is given to the research culture; the variants of derogation from research culture are described. At the same time, in comprehension of the role of research culture in scientific publications on social sciences, of particular importance is the experience of researchers, peculiarities of their social mentality, and engagement in the scientific context on the subject matter, as well as consonance of their scientific approach to one or another research school or direction. Maintenance of gnoseological status of the research is also of holds much significance. The following conclusions were formulated: 1) research culture is associated with the type of social mentality, which is of prime importance for the works on social sciences, thus, the articles dedicated to the topical social problems should reflect the specificity of social mentality; 2) command of the norms and rules of the Russian literary language also indicates the research culture, the authors of the article often do not pay due attention to this factor, and thus it affects the fate of their publication, necessitating revision; 3) research culture correlates with the questions of ethics in the research.

The present work is devoted to the linguistic analysis of the first Bashkir ABC books, textbooks and dictionaries compiled on the basis of the Russian script at the end of XIX – the beginning of the XX centuries. The linguistic characteristics, the graphic and phonetic analysis, comparison of the written sources with dialects of the modern Bashkir literary language are the main directions in which the research was conducted. In this work, proceeding from the character and the purpose of the studied material, the widely applied in linguistics descriptive (i.e. the careful description of each separate source at the level of a graphophonetics, graphomorphology, morphology) and historical and comparative (comparison of separate historical stages of development of the Bashkir literary language) methods are used. The results of the research allow to find out the influence of the studied sources on formation and development of the Bashkir writing and language standards of the literary language. During this period a new type of the Bashkir literary language, different from Turkic began to be formed, i.e. Bashkir gained recognition as an independent language with the writing based on the Russian script.

The Right

The notion of default and override can serve linguistic analysis in different ways. In the lexicon defaults are used for the resolution of rule competition, to capture lexical blocking, to select the right stem where there are choices, and when used in inheritance systems to provide for instances that do not meet every characteristic of their class allowing exceptionality to be expressed as semi-regularity. Defaults in syntax and semantics play a more organizational, ontological role, expressing markedness in lists of features and their possible values and resolving conflicts that may arise when two sub-systems intersect. The chapters discuss how defaults and overrides can address specific linguistic phenomena, suggest an architecture of the grammar, and assess the role of morphology in language and cognition.

Conceptual Confusion

Chapter 10 provides a summary of the argument of the book. It elaborates some of the benefits of Literalism, such as less conceptual confusion and an expanded range of entities for research that might illuminate human cognition. It motivates distinguishing the questions of whether something has a cognitive capacity from whether it is intuitively like us. It provides a conceptual foundation for the social sciences appropriate for the increasing role of modeling in these sciences. It also promotes convergence in terms of the roles of internal and external factors in explaining both human and nonhuman behavior. Finally, it sketches some of the areas of new research that it supports, including group cognition and artificial intelligence.

This chapter proposes a framework for approaching the theological significance of rhythm through phenomenology, prosody, and the social sciences. In accordance with the general categories of phenomenology established by Merleau-Ponty and the “rhythmanalysis” of Henri Lefebvre, the chapter investigates two experiences of rhythm: approaches to analysing the human encounter with rhythm in the reading of poetry and the role of rhythm in social interactions introduced through commonalities between rhythm in conversation and in jazz performance. These explorations establish two features of rhythm that are of analytical importance for the chapters that follow: (1) the synchronic and the diachronic as two necessary but distinct theoretical perspectives on rhythm, each of which emphasizes different features of rhythm and (2) the importance of interruption for understanding rhythm’s significance.

This chapter discusses Indonesian historical writing after independence. At the time Indonesia became independent, knowledge of academic history-writing was virtually non-existent. Indonesian elites then faced the postcolonial predicament of having to adopt Western nationalistic approaches to history in order to oppose the Dutch version of the archipelago’s history that had legitimized colonial domination. Soon after independence, the military took over and dominated the writing of history in Indonesia for several decades. Challenges to the military’s view of history came from artistic representations of history, and from historians—trained in the social sciences—who emphasized a multidimensional approach balancing central and local perspectives. However, it was only after 2002 that historians could openly criticize the role of the military.
