The article is devoted to the modern methods of translating the names of places and proper names from French into Russian. All languages have special letters, particular personal names, some of which are deeply rooted in the culture of the speakers of the particular language; consequently, they can create unique difficulties in understanding the culture-specific texts. It is interesting to note that some personal names have different allusions indicating gender, age, geography, history, specific meaning, playfulness of language and cultural connotations when omitting this implied information will result in an appropriate translation. To analyse the transmitting of the names of places and proper names and their meaning from one language to another were taken the translation transformations, transliteration method and practical transcription with the emphasis on providing and explaining numerous examples. It has been revealed that the translation of the names of places and proper names form French into Russian are actively influenced by extra-linguistic factors, including cultural, socio-political, economic, including the realities of the book publishing process and market conditions.

The article is devoted to the study of personal names from a cognitive point of view. The study is based on the cognitive concept that speech actually exists not in the speech, not in linguistic writings and dictionaries, but in consciousness, in the mental lexicon, in the language of the brain. The conditions for identifying personal names can encompass not only the context, encyclopedias, and reference books, but also the sound form of the word. In the communicative process, during a free associative experiment, which included a name and a recipient’s mental lexicon. The recipient was assigned a task to quickly give some association to the name. The aggregate of a certain number of reactions of different recipients forms the associative field of a proper name. The associative experiment creates the best conditions for identifying the lexeme. The definition of a monosemantic personal name primarily includes the search of what it denotes, while during the process of identifying a polysemantic personal name recipients tend have different reactions. Scientific value is posed by the effect of the choice of letters for the name, sound symbolism, etc. The following belong to the generalized forms of identification: usage of a hyperonym; synonyms and periphrases or simple descriptions; associations denoting the whole (name stimulus) by reference to its part (associatives); cognitive structures such as “stimulus — association” and “whole (stimulus) — part (associative)”; lack of adjacency; mysterious associations. The topicality of the study is determined by its perspective to identify the directions of associative identification of proper names, which is one of the branches of cognitive onomastics. The purpose of the study is to identify, review, and highlight the directions of associative identification of proper names; the object of the research is the names in their entirety and variety; its subject is the existence of names in the mental lexicon, which determines the need for singling out the directions for the associative identification of the personal names.

Proper names of people as creating stems are represented in oiconymy of Ukraine. Anthroponymy separated from o iconymy of Ukraine ending in *-inъ is only a small fragment of a large amount of proper names and their variants. The actual problem is creating the dictionary of personal names of people, which would contain anthroponymy derived from archaic oiconymy. It would enrich not only the Ukrainian anthroponymicon but AllSlavonic one. 251 anthroponym of canonical origin is distinguished from geographical names of Ukraine ending in *-inъ. Most of Christian anthroponyms are represented in dictionaries as names of people or as bynames/proto-surnames. It is found out that 30 names (12%) are not represented in lexicographical works: Аврата (< Гаврило), Горпа (< Агрипина//Горпина), Демх(ш)а (< Дем’ян), Домашла (< Домна, Домнікія, Домаха), Ільпа (< Ілля), Кузята (< Кузьма), Макиш(х)а (< Матвій, розм. Макій), Макош(х)а (< Матвій, розм. Макій), Манята (< Марія), Мар’ята (< Мар’яна), Матюш(х)а (< Матвій), Митула (< Дмитро), Михла (< Михайло), Мишера (< Михайло), Мишута (< Михайло), Нита(я) (< Нит), Ол(ъ)ма (< Олъма), Панчоха (< Пантелеймон), Парута (< Парасковія), Пилипчата (< Пилип), Савара (< Север, Северин), Стеська (< Степан), Таша (< Наталія), Теола (< Теофіла, Феофіла), Тимота (< Тимофій), Томара (< Тамара), Фетюха (< Федір), Юриця (< Юрій), Якота (< Яків), Янкулиха (< Ян).

Introduction. There has been limited discussion on Open Monograph Press (OMP) although its  potential is recognized to support academic publications in Indonesia. This is due to the lack of access to information and dissemination of OMP by academic publishers that have implemented OMP in their publication process. Data Collection Method. This paper used a qualitative approach by starting the elaboration publication process in Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) Press. This paper examined how OMP-based online publishing system is able to accommodate book publishing process in LIPI Press. Primary data in this study was collected through records of the user interface of the online page of LIPI Press which uses OMP. Data Analysis. The data was analyzed by using  a descriptive-analytic approach. Results and Discussions. OMP is useful not only to accommodate all roles and processes of scientific publication but also to accommodate the publisher's need for a catalog website. OMP metadata can be indexed by Google Scholar and can be a helpful tool for product distribution. Conclusion. OMP is suggested to become a standard in publication process.

Personal name – ethnic stereotypes – prejudices. Findings of an examination The paper examines categorization and stereotypes from the perspective of social psychology, using the findings of so-called type creation and prototype theory. In connection with a group of personal names, i.e. the names that can be related to Roma ethnic groups, the author analyses the processes of developing stereotypes and prejudices, focusing primarily on how proper names as potential information sources to judge ethnic categories are involved in developing stereotypes. The author’s findings show that the correlation between the examined ethnic-marking first and/or family names (Levente Szabó, Bence Orsós, Rikárdó Kovács, Renátó Lakatos) and the assessments of the papers handed in is insignificant. Even the strongest correlation based on variation analysis is insignificant, which means that the results deduced from over 300 assessments examined by the author do not support the assumed connection between ethno-stereotypical names and lower grades in school. With respect to the examined typical ethnic-marking name form consisting of both a first and a family name (Renátó Lakatos) positive discrimination cannot be unambiguously proven either on the basis of the materials at hand.

The article launches a new approach to studying coincident proper names in different cultural conditions - names viewed in a synchronistic perspective, in the Jungian sense. The paper purports to answer a number of questions adding to the theory of language, depth psychology and cognitive science. The main research methods, such as cognitive analysis and reconstruction, allow recovering data on deep cognitive attitudes of a person and possible connections of his/her mental sphere with physical reality. In this regard, the functional and cognitive nature of proper names is analyzed. It is determined by a number of characteristics that form the basis for further research. The paper further elaborates on the conditions and models of synchronistic coincidences of proper nouns (mostly personal names). The identified conditions and models are as follows: a) thematic seriality of personal names; b) their cross-matching; c) their systemic parallel matching; d) their complete coincidence in space and time; e) their promising coincidences in fortune telling; f) coincidence of ideal and real personal names; g) coincidences of personal names “framing” certain historical epochs; h) coincidences of proper names, removing the referential certainty of the named subjects. The data presented in the article made it possible to make some generalizations and to outline research prospects in this area. First of all, researching proper names from the point of view of synchronistic coincidences allows us to have an insight into human cognition and shed light on its deep structure. In addition, such studies have interdisciplinary significance bringing cognitive linguistics and the fundamental sciences closer together. Finally, the analysis of synchronistic coincidences of proper names allows us to reconstruct some deep cognitive attitudes in the human psyche, demonstrating the unity of mental and physical realities. Even more promising in this regard is the unification of cognitive linguistics with other advanced scientific disciplines engaged in this issue.

This article focuses on the study of various forms of the vocative case of nouns in the communicative space of Ukrainian public radio. The variety of forms of address is interpreted as a result of expansion of unofficial communication of authors and presenters with politicians, experts, independent experts, ordinary citizens. The paper proves the extensive use of etiquette words "pane", "pani" with proper names (personal names or surnames) and common nouns – names of persons by position, military or academic rank, other characteristics. The author analyses difficulties and typical errors in the use of forms of the vocative case of some male and female personal names or two proper names – personal name and patronymic. The obtained results indicate the new tendency to consistently distinguish the forms of the vocative case of common nouns depending on the sex of the person. The author concludes that the morphological norm, which is the grammatical specificity of the Ukrainian language, returns to the communicative space of the Ukrainian public radio.

AbstractThe history of Greek personal names (PN) related to the theonym Eros is striking.1 Despite being one of the most important gods, Eros, along with Aphrodite, is largely absent from Greek proper names in the archaic and classical periods. Later, however, and especially under Rome, there is a remarkable increase in PN at Rome and Pompeii, as well as in Hispania. The reason for the absence of Eros in early Greek names is most likely the sense of the Greek term ἔρως as ‘passionate love’, whereas its increased popularity in Hellenistic and Roman times reflects the more genial representation of the god of love in statues and reliefs.

A social language could reflect culture which is correspondent and its manners show in the contents of words and vocabulary. The same to the animal words what contains rich and profound cultural customs of various nationalities and reflects the philosophical and cultural mentality of all ethnic groups profoundly.In the course of the development of human history, animals keep in touch with human beings. Many animals yet have been being human beings’ pets and friends. Many animals have formed a certain symbol in the minds of people, and are embodied in the language. Animal words are also forming a specific meaning in these processes. There are abundant words in English and Chinese with large number of animals as a metaphor. The cultural diversity of all nations around the world causes people to have different emotional attitudes towards animals in the different cultures, thus, the meaning of animal vocabulary is different in different cultures. It’s helpful to improve the communicative competence of English for the understanding of the cultural connotations of English and Chinese. To promote English learning and intercultural communication is of great practical significance.

The article conveys some tendencies in the lives of the Chechen people who lived in Grozny in the first quarter of the XX century. The period of the 1900-1914 is characterized by the rapid development of the Grozny economic region, an increase in the number of Chechen workers who were engaged in crafts and trades, and in the number of urban population. The author underlines such aspects of urban socio-cultural development as features of the development of public education, the formation of librarianship, book publishing, and the local nature of cultural activities. The revolutionary events of 1905–1907, February and October of 1917, contributed to the radicalization of the urban environment. Considering military-political, economic and criminal instability, most of the urban Chechens were forced to leave Grozny. The subsequent 100-day battles of the Grozny proletariat with bicherakhists (August-November of 1918) turned the life of the townspeople into harsh trials. The Civil War left debilitating scars. The Soviet power obtained the Grozny oil industry in a ruined state. The new economic policy, in particular, the creation of syndicates, trusts, concessions, led to a revival of the Grozny oil industry.

In the 1930s, the scientific and bibliographical activity was localized in the western Ukrainian lands and in the emigration centers. As far as a thorough and comprehensive study of the bibliographic product, as a separate segment of the Ukrainian book publishing process during this period, has not been carried out, the disclosure of the methodological approaches and methods for making bibliographic indexes, in view of their thematic and genre characteristics, is relevant and important. The research being done, has shown that the bibliographic segment of the repertoire of the western Ukrainian and the whole Ukrainian emigration books of the 1930s was formed by the auxiliary advisory, book publishing guides of different genres. The most significant were the auxiliary indexes, which were divided into universal, sectoral, thematic, and personal ones. The members of the Bibliographic (since 1934 – the Bibliologic) Comission of the Shevchenko Scientific Society (NTSh) in Lviv Volodymyr Doroshenko, Yevhen Yulij Penenskyj, Petro Zlenko, Ivan Shendryk played a decisive role in their preparation. These editions are perfect in their level of the methodology, as far as their compilers were real experts. The reference bibliographic indexes and lists, represented primarily by the editions of «Prosvita», corresponded the cultural and educational objectives of this Institution. The book catalogs advertised the production of numerous publishers and bookstores, among which the bookstore of NTSh was the most active. The content indexes of periodicals, especially «Novi Shlachy» by Ivan Krushelnytskyj and «Nova Zoria» by Olexandr Moch, should be mentioned. The results of the research can be used for studies in the history of the bibliography of the interwar period, the study of the scientific inheritance of bibliographers and scientific societies, publishers and bookstores.
