Введение. Изучение речемыслительной деятельности автора и адресата в процессе сотворчества на основе текста как формы коммуникации относится к числу наиболее актуальных проблем в русистике. Современная когнитивно-дискурсивная парадигма научного знания и развитие коммуникативной теории текста открывают новые перспективы в исследовании текста как объекта восприятия, интерпретации и понимания. Цель – опираясь на теорию регулятивности как одно из направлений коммуникативной стилистики текста, выявить некоторые лингвокогнитивные механизмы формирования гиперконцепта как результата интерпретационной деятельности воспринимающего текст субъекта. Материал и методы. Исследование основано на анализе, сравнении и обобщении научной литературы по теории и истории вопроса, на использовании методологии и понятийно-терминологического аппарата теории регулятивности, разработанной в коммуникативной стилистике текста, применении концептуального, лингвосмыслового, семантико-стилистического анализа. Материалом исследования послужили стихи известных русских поэтов Ф. И. Тютчева, И. А. Бунина, З. Н. Гиппиус, Н. А. Заболоцкого. Результаты и обсуждение. За исходное взято положение о том, что в основе интерпретации текста адресатом лежат лингвокогнитивные механизмы – речемыслительные процессы, формирующие обобщенный смысл текста (гиперконцепт), стимулированные общей системой текста, включающие когнитивные операции анализа, сравнения, синтеза с опорой на ассоциативную деятельность и имеющийся у индивида опыт. В выявлении гиперконцепта важны регулятивная стратегия текста, способы регулятивности, регулятивные средства и структуры, использованные автором в тексте с ориентацией на сотворчество с адресатом, «управление» его познавательной деятельностью. Особенно значима лексическая система текста, стимулирующая его ассоциативно-смысловое развертывание в сознании читателя. Интерпретационная деятельность предполагает взаимосвязь актуализированных в тексте концептов в рамках его общей концептуальной структуры на основе отношений дополнения, усиления, контраста, включения, сопоставления, обобщения. С учетом этого, опираясь на теорию регулятивности, были выявлены лингвокогнитивные механизмы формирования гиперконцепта: 1) сквозной усилительно-конвергентный, связанный с последовательным усилением ключевого концепта различными регулятивными средствами и структурами в рамках индуктивно-дедуктивной лексической макроструктуры текста, с повтором как способом регулятивности и регулятивной стратегией поэтапного усиления семантических признаков ключевого концепта; 2) замкнутый последовательно-дополнительный, проявляющийся в по этапной художественно-образной конкретизации разных признаков гиперконцепта на основе использования сильной регулятивной стратегии однородного эксплицитного типа и повтора как основного способа регулятивности; 3) сопоставительно-парадоксальный, стимулированный регулятивной стратегией парадоксально-контрастивного типа, контрастом как основным способом регулятивности и текстовыми парадигмами антонимического типа как регулятивной доминантой; 4) сопоставительно-синтезирующий, отражающий синтез (обобщение) на основе сопоставительного ассоциативно-смыслового развертывания разных граней (признаков) ключевого концепта, стимулированных ступенчатой лексической макроструктурой индуктивно-дедуктивного типа. Заключение. Использование теории регулятивности и ее понятийно-терминологического аппарата позволяет судить о некоторых заданных в поэтическом тексте автором закономерностях организации интерпретационной деятельности адресата и лингвокогнитивных механизмах формирования общего смысла текста. Полученные наблюдения представляют интерес для дальнейшей разработки проблемы смысловой интерпретации и методики смыслового анализа текста. Introduction. The study of verbal and cognitive activity of an author and an addressee in the process of co-creation based on the text as a form of communication remains an urgent problem. The modern cognitive-discursive paradigm of scientific knowledge and development of communicative theory of text offer the challenge in the study of text as an object of perception, interpretation and understanding. The aim of the article is the detection of some linguo-cognitive mechanisms of hyperconcept forming as a result of interpretative activity by a subject perceiving the text relying on the regulative theory as one of the directions of the communicative stylistics of the text. Material and methods. The research is examined on the analysis, comparison and generalization of scientific literature on the theory and history of the issue, on the use of the methodology and conceptual and terminological apparatus of the regulative theory, on the application of conceptual, linguistic, semantic and stylistic analysis. The material for the study was the poems of famous Russian poets F. I. Tyutchev, I. A. Bunin, Z. N. Gippius, N. A. Zabolotsky. Results and discussion. The starting point is the following: the interpretation of the text by the addressee depends on linguo-cognitive mechanisms – verbal and cognitive processes that form the generalized meaning of the text (hyperconcept), stimulated by the general system of the text, including the cognitive operations of analysis, comparison, synthesis based on associative activity and an experience of a person. In identifying the hyperconcept, the regulatory strategy of the text, the methods of regulation, the regulatory means and structures which the author used in the text with an orientation towards co-creation with the addressee, “control” of his cognitive activity are important. The lexical system of the text stimulating its associative and semantic deployment in the mind of the reader is especially significant. Interpretive activity presupposes the interconnection of the concepts actualized in the text within the limits of its general conceptual structure based on the relations of complement, enhancement, contrast, inclusion, comparison, generalization. Taking this into account, relying on the regulative theory, the following linguocognitive mechanisms of hyperconcept formation were identified: 1) through amplifying-convergent mechanism, associated with the sequential strengthening of the key concept by various regulatory means and structures in the context of the inductive-deductive lexical macrostructure of the text; with repetition as a way of regulation and a regulatory strategy for the stepwise enhancement of the semantic features of the key concept; 2) closed sequentialadditional, manifested in a phased artistic-figurative concretization of various signs of a hyperconcept based on the use of a strong regulatory strategy of a homogeneous explicit type and repetition as the main way of regulation; 3) comparative-paradoxical, stimulated by the regulatory strategy of the paradoxical-contrastive type; contrast as the main method of regulation and textual paradigms of the antonymic type as a regulatory dominant; 4) comparativesynthesizing, reflecting synthesis (generalization) on the basis of parallel comparative associative-semantic deployment of different facets (features) of the key concept, stimulated by a stepped lexical macrostructure of the inductive-deductive type. Conclusion. The use of the regulative theory and its conceptual and terminological apparatus makes it possible to determine some of the patterns organized by the interpretive activity of the addressee and the linguo-cognitive mechanisms of the formation of the general meaning of the text given in the poetic text. Obtained observations are of interest for further development of the problem of notional interpretation and methods of semantic analysis of the text.

Dynamically altering reality stimulates the use of new means and ways of communication in the process of textual activity. Peculiarities of present-day media communication (polycode, polydiscursiveness, intertextuality, interactivity, openness, etc.) and anthropocentrism of the modern linguistic paradigm determine the dialogue between the author and the addressee based on the text, which requires special study. The identification of the means and ways of expressing the category of media text dialogicity in the aspect of idiostyle is carried out on the basis of the analysis of the texts regulativity in the context of the communicative-activity approach to it. A broad range of linguistic and extralinguistic means of dialogization, which are typical of the author's journalistic texts, was revealed in the mainstream of the theory of regulation as one of the directions of communicative stylistics, based on the articles of 2020 in the "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" by the famous journalist and political scientist L. Radzikhovsky. The sphere of communication, the author's idiostyle, the peculiarities of the representation of regulation as a systemic quality of the media text are considered as factors that influence the dialogue with the addressee. The approach to the analysis of the media text based on the allocation of various regulatory means, structures, methods of regulation, and regulatory strategy that controls the cognitive activity of the addressee allows us to judge upon the specificity of the dialogic character of the modern publicistic text in accordance with the genre of the article in the aspect of the author's idiostyle. The proposed approach also is of interest for media linguistics and mediastylistics, the communicative theory of text, theory of speech impact.

Introduction. The vocabulary of the plant world of the Khanty language contains a significant amount of information, closely connected with ethno-mentality, ethnography and thinking of the people. In this regard, the study of vegetation seems to be one of the most interesting layers of the vocabulary, since it reflects the degree of practical and cultural development of the surrounding nature. The purpose of the article is to establish the lexical and semantic features of the nominations of wild-growing herbs, the definition of dialectal features. The aim of the research is to identify the nominations of herbs with the greatest possible completeness, to establish the lexical meaning of each name in dialects of the language. The relevance of the topic is determined by the research interest to the study of differences between the dialects in the theoretical and practical terms; the attention recently been paid to folk spiritual and material culture; and the loss of certain plant names in the modern Khanty language. Materials and Methods. The study uses a set of methods and techniques for analyzing linguistic material: the method of semantic classification, lexical-semantic analysis, word-formation, linguistic-geographical analysis, as well as the elements of etymological analysis. The description is the main method for studying names of the plants. The source of the material is based on the vocabulary of the Khanty language, which was collected during field work; the source of Eastern dialects was the materials contained in lexicographic publications. When collecting the lexical material, the observation was conducted mainly on the speech of representatives of the older generation, as well as the people who have a traditional way of life, who retain the patterns of active spoken language. At the same time, not only facts that are in the active vocabulary of speakers were recorded, but also the words related to the passive vocabulary, which native speakers use only in conversations and sharing the memories of the past. Results and Discussion. The study of dialectal material based on the names of plants in the Khanty language is of great research interest. The life of the Khanty people since ancient times is closely connected with nature, the vocabulary of the plant world covers almost all spheres of economic activity of the Khanty, thereby making up a significant part of their vocabulary. In Khanty linguistics, this vocabulary has not yet been the subject of a special and detailed study, which makes it an urgent research task for today. The article identifies the signs that underlie the motivation of plant names and highlights the borrowed words. Conclusion. The collected vocabulary tells about the richness and vastness of phytonymic vocabulary of the Khanty language. The authors collected about 50 Khanty names of wild herbaceous plants in the Northern and Eastern dialects of the Khanty language. As a result of the research, new lexemes were identified and described, and the interpretation of the semantics of lexemes was clarified. Late borrowings of Russian origin are recorded. It was found that some dialect words are not actively used in the modern Khanty language. In flora vocabulary, the diversity and multiplicity of the nomination principles was revealed.

The subject of this article is the analysis of clauses of aim, cause, consequence and condition in French in view to the automatic processing. Our theoretical framework is that of lexicon-grammar. This study differs from the usual grammatical analyses. Here, the complex sentence is studied on the model of the simple sentence, defined as an operator accompanied by its arguments. The conjunctive phrase is our starting point for this study, and it is then shown that the noun around which it is formed, is of predicative type and has the main clause and the subordinate as arguments. This is a predicate «of second order». Automatic processing requires extremely accurate notation of syntactic and semantic properties if ambiguity and polysemy are to be correctly handled. Those descriptions based on syntactico-semantic features are insufficient, which is why the concept of « class of objects » is brought in. There are as many types of relations as there are semantic types of predicate. This is the reason why a semantic typology of predicates is sketched out, integrating lexical, syntactic and semantic components. It is shown that each semantic type can have its own appropriate lexical means of expression and specific syntactic behaviour.

Correlations of genetic variation in DNA with functional brain activity have already provided a starting point for delving into human cognitive mechanisms. However, these analyses do not provide the specific genes driving the associations, which are complicated by intergenic localization as well as tissue-specific epigenetics and expression. The use of brain-derived expression datasets could build upon the foundation of these initial genetic insights and yield genes and molecular pathways for testing new hypotheses regarding the molecular bases of human brain development, cognition, and disease. Thus, coupling these human brain gene expression data with measurements of brain activity may provide genes with critical roles in brain function. However, these brain gene expression datasets have their own set of caveats, most notably a reliance on postmortem tissue. In this perspective, I summarize and examine the progress that has been made in this realm to date, and discuss the various frontiers remaining, such as the inclusion of cell-type-specific information, additional physiological measurements, and genomic data from patient cohorts.

This study aims to analyse the semantic features in fraudulent ads in Facebook. This study is conducted by using two kinds of advertisement which are found in Facebook. The researchers are analyzing the word, sentence, or phrase that suspected as the way to convince the customers by following theory of meaning from Leech (1981). The data that the researchers got showed that the first type of advertisement is emphasized more to the affective and social meaning where the seller leads the customers’ opinion that the seller is a good or trusted person. Moreover, the seller uses prase that include to conceptual meaning to explain the condition or specification of the cellphone in detail.In the second type of advertisement, the element emphasized by the seller is thematic mining by referring to the emphasis of the word used in the advertisement.More over, theresult for identification of fraudulent ads in this study is still dominated by the usual way, such as by looking at the price offered. However, the results of this study can also be used as a consideration in identifying fraudulent ads.

The article represents the results of ancient Greek proverbs’ with dendronym component peculiarities research (with tree species name, name of a part or a fruit of a tree and their derivates). On the basis of their linguocultural and semantic analysis the characteristics of their inner form were described. On this ground an assertion was made that dendronym FIG TREE has the greatest potential for proverb forming in ancient Greek language. The existence of different lexemes in ancient Greek language for certain types and parts of this tree designation attests the wide extent of this tree and its parts usage in everyday life of Hellenes. The proverbs containing dendronym OAK are also quite numerous, while dendronyms APPLE TREE, OLIVE TREE, MYRTLE TREE, LAUREL, MULBERRY TREE, PINE TREE, MASTIK TREE, THORN TREE, POMEGRANATE TREE, CORK TREE and PEAR TREE are used much less often. Such quantitative asymmetry is caused by the peculiarities of their everyday usage by Hellenes. The largest group consists of FU, in which the specific name of the tree (and not part of the tree or fruit) is used. The study of inner form of ancient Greek FU with the dendronym component allowed to determine the cognitive mechanisms of the secondary meaning formation. 62 % FU are formed on the basis of metaphorization (on models “specific → abstract”, “plant → human”, “plant → object”, “object → object”). An equally large group consists of proverbs with a dendronym component, based on metaftonimy, a complex cognitive mechanism of metaphor and metonymy combination (the type “metonymy within metaphor” is much more productive than the type “metaphor within metonymy”). The least numerous are FU formed on the basis of metonymy. The analysis of semantics of ancient Greek FU with the dendronym component made it possible to distinguish the following types of FU motivational basis: the physical characteristics of trees, their parts and fruits, associated with the experience of their practical usage; the practice of using trees, their parts and fruits in various rituals and customs; a historical event in which a certain tree or its part was involved; characteristics of tree parts and fruits concerning their consumption as food; the mention of trees in myths and legends.

The article is concerned with investigating the problem of synesthesia that manifests itself in the fact that stimulation in one sensory-based system or cognitive system that leads to automatic reaction in another one. This article is the continuation of the research published in the previous one (Еливанова, Семушина, 2017) in which we described statistically significant sound / alphabet letters-color and words-color correlations typical for synesthets. Тhe aim of the next stage was to research synesthets’ capability of sound-color and phono-semantic analysis of a poetic text. Phonosemantics is a Russian branch of linguistic, its subject matter is sounds that create images. 12 synesthets took part in the research at the first stage. We offered them to analyze a piece of poetry “Grasshopper” by V. Hlebnikov (В. Хлебников). We revealed that synesthets have different capabilities of sound-color analysis of a literary poetic text that manifest individual and typological specifics of sound-color capability. 2 (16.7%) of examined respondents who have artistic type of higher nervous function with its high potential color-sound language system are good at intuitive phono-semantic analysis of a poetic text. Then we offered 3 curated synesthets extracts of poetry by А. Блок, А. Белый and Edgar Allan Poe (in original and in the translation by 3 different Russian poets). Analysis showed that individual method of synesthets partly coincides with the method of automatical analysis that is based on letter occurrence frequency in a text. Synesthets do not necessarily feel colors of frequent letters / sounds that have not equal meaning for the color perception of words and the text as a whole.  Synesthesia specifics combined with emotional image reflection of color-sound of analyzed texts let synesthets intuitively decode motivation coded with the help of phonetic means of language in the text by the authors of poems. In spite of individual variability of synesthetic perception of a text there is phono-semantic general invariability that is caused by imaginative comprehension of sound-color of poetic texts.

The purpose of the study is to prove the innovative approaches of F. Schubert in vocal works on the example of his later opuses – the vocal cycle „Winterreiseˮ, op. 90 („Winter Roadˮ) and the song collection „Der Schwanengesangˮ („Swan Songˮ). The methods of this proposed scientific article are based on the research approaches (historical, compare, analytical), which allow to us to follow the path of dramatization of the song in the late works of F. Schubert, as well as to determine the conformity of the vocal intonation to the poetic text. The material of scientific intelligence there are ten separate songs, namely, five songs from the vocal cycle „Winter Pathˮ and five songs on the lyrics by G. Heine from the collection „Swan Songˮ. In our opinion, they are not only indicative, but also similar in form, methods and content. The scientificnovelty of this research is to in the treatment to the issues of determining the correspondence of vocal intonation to a poetic text. Conclusions. Lyrics by Wilhelm Muller and Heinrich Heine are the peak of Schubertʼs vocal lyrics, the starting point for the further development of the song (romance) genre. Simplicity and the associated „sociability” of song intonation, on the one hand, naturally continue the traditions of the Austro-German song Lied. However, while the melody of Schubert reveals time fundamentally new qualities caused by the composerʼs innovative attitude to its formation. The reason for this is a great attention to the verbal text. The close interaction of poetic words and music, especially in the late works of the composer romantic, gives rise to a fundamentally new type of vocal intonation, a new level of voice and accompaniment and, as a final result, the emergence of a new quality of the chamber-vocal work – „poems with music”, thereby pushing on the further path of development of chamber vocal genres.

This article is part of a deeper study of the phenomenon of "picto-poetry" on the example of Paul Eluard and Man Ray's collection "Free Hands". The article proves the intermediality hypothesis of a collection based on the history of its creation, where the two types of arts not only complement each other, but merge into one, creating new forms and genres of French poetry. The purpose of the study is to determine the nature and imagery of the interaction of visual and verbal codes of artistic reality in the collection "Free Hands", as well as to identify the basic features of the composition " in four hands" on the example of the frontispiece of the collection. Research methods: descriptive, structural and semantic analysis methods that allow the identification of relationships between different sign systems (visual, plastic, etc.). The main feature of Paul Eluard and Man Ray's picto-poetic collection "Free Hands", in the preface to which P. Eluard outlined the principles of a single picto-poetic reproduction of the world, is the special principle of organizing the artistic space, when graphic realities also become "literary text", and the poetic text and its graphic "second voice" cannot be interpreted separately. The multi-layered and heterogeneous internal connections in the texts and graphics of authors serve as a form of reproduction of the underlying processes that take place in the human psyche, and the texts of Eluard create visual metaphors that resemble dreams.
