Spatial Continuum

The question of ways of creating a spatial continuum in the early stories of I. A. Bunin “On the wrong side”, “On the farm” and “On the Donets”, united by a single principle of nomination and included in the first book of the writer’s prose “To the end of the world” (1897) is considered in the article. The semantics of the title actualizes the spatial component of the author’s linguistic picture of the world, which determined the path of linguistic and stylistic analysis of the linguistic material of stories. The authors pay special attention to the means of lexical representation of space as one of the basic linguo-cognitive categories. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the language material has been identified, systematized and described, which makes it possible to determine the individual author's characteristics in the creation of the spatial continuum of I. A. Bunin’s early stories. The relevance of the study is due to the appeal to the problems of cognitive linguistics. On the basis of statistical, descriptive and linguo-cognitive methods of analysis, the authors identify and describe the means of lexical representation of the spatial model created in the stories of I. A. Bunin, which is characterized by a clear structuredness and individuality of the author’s approach. In the course of the study, the authors come to conclusions that make it possible to characterize the features of the construction of space in the early stories of the writer, taking into account the individual characteristics of the author's world modeling, and also to analyze the linguistic parameters of the idiostyle of I. A. Bunin.

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of creative abilities and cognitive interests of students. The main directions of development of the creative person according to the social needs of the present are considered. It is noted that creative activity becomes a form of knowledge of the material-objective world; identifies personality possibilities, new ways of one’s personal development. Therefore, the problem of developing the creative abilities of students in the course of educational and cognitive activity is of an exceptional relevance. The author believes that influencing the organization of creative activity is possible only under certain conditions, in particular: to conduct classes in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and co-creation, perceiving each student as a person; to give preference to the dialogical form of conducting classes, when students have an opportunity: to think independently, to make suggestions, to defend their own point of view, presenting their own arguments; it is advisable to create situations of choice at classes and to enable students to carry it out. The author notes that the observance of certain organizational and methodological conditions can significantly contribute to the development of creative potential of students, namely: the creative vision of the world through the systematic organization of work with students; development of creative values through the proper level of teacher's teaching skills; deepening the perception of the world picture through the integration of various types of students’ creativity, works of art and their figurative reproduction in their own creative activity; individual peculiarities of perception and emotional attitude through the use of the educational potential of the family, organization of creative activity. When performing creative tasks the individual characteristics of students to select the material of the appropriate level of complexity must be taken into account. The article examines the examples of students' creativity during the European Cultures Festival, debates and clubs on the basis of the Kryvyi Rih National University.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the specificity of the lexical-semantic and syntactic valency of lexical units nominating emotions in the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that it has been carried out in line with the linguo-cognitive paradigm and aims to identify the specifics of the compatibility of emotions nominations with other lexical units verbalizing the fragment of the concept “the emotional world”. The novelty of the research is associated with its anthropocentric orientation and interdisciplinary nature of the interpretation of the material, which implies the study of the artistic concept sphere “the emotional world” on the material of the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore from the standpoint of cognitive linguistics, psychology and literary criticism.Methodology and sources. The theoretical basis of this research is presented by the works of scientists V.Yu. Apresjan, E.V. Galeeva, N.A. Krasavskii, I.N. Kucher, S.G. Lyubova, K.O. Pogosova, E.A. Rozhnova, who considered the essence of emotional concepts as culturally conditioned mental constructs, i.e. directly related to the worldview of representatives of a particular ethnic group.In the article we use the following research methods: the method of definitional analysis, the functional-semantic method, the method of component analysis, the descriptive method, as well as methods of continuous sampling and quantitative data processing.Results and discussion. In the present study, the classification of lexical units verbalizing the manifestations of emotional states in the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore has been made. In the semantic structure of the lexemes under consideration, we highlight and categorize the semes marked by the correlation with the emotional sphere of people. The linguo-cognitive analysis of the lexic and syntactic valency of the primary and secondary nominations of emotions, carried out in the work, revealed the specifics of the conceptualization of emotional states and experiences in the individual author's picture of the world.Conclusion. It has been established that the artistic conceptual sphere “emotional world” in the poem “Then, fare thee well” by T. Moore consists of two closely interrelated concepts – “negative emotions” and “positive emotions”, verbalized by lexemes nominating a wide range of emotional experiences of the lyrical character. It is concluded that the associative-figurative characteristics attributed to a specific emotion in the artistic world of the author carry valuable culturally relevant information about the individual characteristics of the interpretation of emotional concepts both by the poet himself and by the “naïve” thinking of an English-speaking person as a representative of his language and culture.

Yellow Arrow

Statement of the problem. The conceptual world picture of an author of a text is a key element to his/her understanding and correct interpretation. It helps to make conclusions about the author’s individual understanding of the world. The concept “way” is one of the basic concepts both in the Russian language and in the individual author’s pictures of the world, and is put on a par with such universal concepts as life, death, God, etc. The purpose of the article is to study the semantic content of the concept “way” in V.O. Pelevin’s novel “Yellow Arrow” and the ways of its lexical representation, identifying the features of the individual author’s picture of the world. Methodology (materials and methods). Research material consists of contexts verbalizing the concept “way”, extracted by continuous sampling from the text of the story “Yellow Arrow” by V.O. Pelevin. Basic analysis methods include descriptive and conceptual analysis, contextual and component analysis of lexical units, semantic analysis of dictionary definitions. Research results. In the aspect of verbal contextual representations, the concept “way” denotes a direction, a vector of development of human life in the novel: the common human route moves to the “destroyed bridge”. This idea is embodied in the lexemes of the near periphery (passengers, arrow) and the far periphery (knocking of wheels, low-style proper nouns). Not everyone can find an individual path, but the main character was able to “get off the train”.

Debate in neotectonics mainly hinges on how far back in time the prefix ‘neo’ should be taken. The term ‘neotectonics’ means, in a first approximation, geologically young, recent or living (active) crustal structures and processes. Some of the many definitions (Angelier 1976; Mercier 1976; Beloussov 1978; Hancock and Williams 1986; Vita-Finzi 1986; Winslow 1986) focus neotectonic studies only on active deformation (late Quaternary–Present) and accept neotectonics as more or less synonymous to active tectonics, while others trace the neotectonic period mainly from the Middle Miocene. It is very difficult to identify a standard time period for defining the beginning of neotectonics, but the present-day opinion is that it depends on the individual characteristics of each geological environment. According to Fourniguet (1987), no time limit is fixed and the field of investigation extends from the present as far back into the past as necessary to understand present or active deformation. The INQUA (International Union for Quaternary Research) Tectonic Commission has accepted the definition of Mörner (1978): ‘Neotectonics is defined as any earth movements or deformations of the geodetic reference level, their mechanisms, their geological origin, their implications for various practical purposes and their future extrapolations.’ Pavlides (1989) proposed a definition along the following lines: ‘Neotectonics is the study of young tectonic events (deformation of upper crust), which have occurred or are still occurring in a given region after its final orogeny (at least for recent orogenies) or more precisely after its last significant reorganization.’ When western Europe is considered, a major change in boundary conditions occurred in the Upper Miocene (7 Ma) when the motion of Africa became directed to the north-west (Dewey et al. 1989). Geological, seismological, and geodetic data in the Mediterranean region and in continental Europe show that the relative motion of Africa and Europe is still in this direction. For this reason we think that for the neotectonics of western Europe one cannot go far back in time beyond the Upper Miocene. The study of the state of stress of the lithosphere around the world has recently been attempted within the World Stress Map Project of the International Lithosphere Programme (Zoback 1992).

The work of Michael Jabara Carley gives a unique perspective on the diplomatic relations of the key world powers in the pre-war period and appeals to a wide audience who are not indifferent to the history of the world. The events described took place almost a century ago and over the years have received a variety of interpretations in the domestic and foreign literature about those times. Painstaking work with archives combined with s fine psychological approach made it possible to recreate and visualize the peculiarities of international relations of those years. This thorough analysis resulting in a vivid cultural description of the fateful period falls neatly within the framework of historical cultural studies and adds to our understanding of the intricacies of world diplomacy. Looking into the past, the author sees in the faded lines of the archived documents more than mere facts: there are people with their principles and insecurities, societies striving for peace and countries earning for power and security at all costs. Sketching portraits of the main characters with a few sharp strokes, Michael Carley manages to immerse the reader in the thick of events and understand the human side of diplomatic relations between countries, which could be allies should things have happened somewhat differently. The translation of the paper does not give verbatim quotations from the Russian language archives, but rather follows the author’s conception. The intention behind the book is not limited to a chronological compilation of dispatches, diaries and reports. On the contrary, it becomes obvious that written documents record dry facts, and only taken in a broader context can they truly shed light on the complex, uneven negotiations. The unique features of the era, traced in the text along with the individual characteristics of the persons involved, deserve readers’ attention as the non-trivial optics with which the author approaches the subject will allow a fresh look at the foreign policy relations of the USSR in 1933-1934. One will see how the cultural canvas through major trends and minor happenings influences the fate of the world. The vision that can be projected to the many and many other events of the past and present.

The article considers the correlation of cognitive linguistics key notions, such as "frame" and "concept". The frame is presented as a structure of data or knowledge about any notion, concept – as a complicated and multidimensional mental complex, which in addition to the notional basis also has socio-psycho-cultural component. Interpretation of the concept implies that it has a wide semantic field. A frame with its clearer structure can be used to model or structure the concept, i.e. the concept can be represented as a frame structure. A description of the experience of modeling the LIFE concept using a frame structure by identifying subframes and analyzing their deployment in Amelie Notomb's novel "The Character of Rain" is presented. According to the method of semantic-cognitive frames analysis of a fictional work, it is determined that the frame structure of the LIFE concept unites 9 slots (mental nodes of the frame structure): EXISTENCE, MOVEMENT, DESTRUCTION OFDREAM, DEGRADATION, EMPTINESS, DEVELOPMENT, INDEPENDENCE, DISAPPOINTMENT, SUICIDE. Deployment of the LA VIE frame, which goes in the direction of such subframes as L’EXISTENCE, LE MOUVEMENT, LA DESTRUCTION DU RÊVE, is reflected in the subframes DÉGRADATION, LE VIDE, LE DÉVELOPPEMENT, L’INDÉPENDANCE, LA DÉCEPTION, LE SUICIDE. This process is due to the fact that the life of a person who feels nothing and rejoices in nothing is an existence: miserable, ordinary, boring, meaningless. EXISTENCE, invaded by a disease, sooner or later leads to the DEGRADATION in all spheres of activity. The result is EMPTINESS, everything becomes the same: it does not matter if something bad or, conversely, something joyful occurs. MOVEMENT is an important component of a full life. It leads to the DEVELOPMENT of both: physical and individual development in society. Movement means autonomy, and as a consequence, INDEPENDENCE. DISAPPOINTMENT appears when you realize, that people you are closest to do not understand you at all: they have no idea what you enjoy, what makes you laugh, what is a pleasure for you and what you are capable of. When you realize that society does not need you, when you are deprived of what you are used to and of what is most precious to you in the world, it leads to SUICIDE. These subframes are reflected in the DREAM DESTRUCTION subframe. Involvement of semantic-cognitive methods complex in the study of frames reveals their cognitive-communicative dynamics. Thus, underlying semantic processes that take place in the literary text, reflect the tendency to unfold the frames. We can assume that the frame structure of the LIFE concept is the result of generalization of the vocabulary meaning of the word and the individual author's sphere of concepts.

The work is devoted to the consideration of improving the quality of teaching students the discipline “Numerical methods” through the development of the cognitive component of computational thinking based on blended learning. The article presents a methodology for the formation of computational thinking of mathematics students, based on the visualization of algorithmic design schemes and the activation of the cognitive independence of students. The characteristic of computational thinking is given, the content and structure of computational thinking are shown. It is argued that a student with such a mind is able to manifest himself in his professional field in the best possible way. The results of the application of the technique are described. To determine the level of development of the cognitive component of computational thinking, a diagnostic model has been developed based on measuring the content, operational and motivational components. It is shown that the proposed method of developing computational thinking of students, taking into account the individual characteristics of students’ thinking, meaningfully based on the theoretical and practical aspects of studying the discipline, increases the effectiveness of learning the course “Numerical methods”. The materials of the article are of practical value for teachers of mathematical disciplines who use information and telecommunication technologies in their professional activities.

The urgency of the researched problem is connected with the growing role of mass media in modern conditions leads to change of values and transformation of identity of the person. The active growth of the role of the media, their influence on the formation and development of personality leads to the concept of “media socialization” and immutation in the media. The aim of the study is to outline the possibilities of the process of media socialization in the context of immutation in the media. The methods of our research are: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, literature, synthesis, comparison, generalization. The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of immutation in the media and the transformation of the information space. In the context of the mass nature of the immutation of society, the concept of “media socialization” becomes relevant, which is the basis for reducing the negative impact of the media on the individual.The author identifies the lack of a thorough study of the concept of “media socialization” in modern scientific thought. Thus, media socialization is associated with the transformation of traditional means of socialization, and is to assimilate and reproduce the social experience of mankind with the help of new media.The article analyzes the essence of the concepts “media space”, “mass media” and “immutation”. The influence of mass media on the formation and development of the modern personality is described in detail.The study concluded that it is necessary to form a media culture of the individual, to establish safe and effective interaction of young people with the modern media system, the formation of media awareness, media literacy and media competence in accordance with age and individual characteristics for successful media socialization. The role of state bodies in solving the problem of media socialization of the individual was also determined. It is determined that the process of formation of media culture in youth should take place at the level of traditional institutions of socialization of the individual.The author sees the prospect of further research in a detailed analysis and study of the potential of educational institutions as an institution and a means of counteracting the mass nature of the immutation of society.Key words: immutation, media socialization, mass media, media space, information.

The Cold War

The Berlin Wall came down on 9 November 1989 and marked the end of the Cold War. As old antagonisms thawed a new landscape emerged of unification and tolerance. Censorship was no longer the principal means of ensuring group solidarity. The crumbling bricks brought not only freedom of movement but freedom of thought. Now, nearly thirty years later, globalisation has created a new balance of power, disrupting borders and economies across the world. The groups that thought they were in power no longer have much of a say and are anxious about their future. As protest grows, we are beginning to see that the old antagonisms have not disappeared but are, in fact, resurfacing. This article will start by looking at the dissembling of a marriage in which the wall that had peacefully maintained coexistence disintegrates and leads to a psychic development that uncannily mirrors that of populism today. The individual vignette leads to a broader psychological understanding of the totalitarian dynamic that underlies populism and threatens once again to imprison us within its walls.
