This article is dedicated to the semantic arrangement of rap lyrics. Based on the quantitative and statistical processing of the material, the author determines the lexical units that acquire a new functional purpose and conceptualization in the literary text. The goal of this research is to describe the functionality of the universal concepts of “human”, “time” and “life”, as well as the methods of their representation in the Russian rap lyrics. The relevance and novelty of this work are defined by the fact that despite the attempts existing in the linguistic science to determine the semantic and conceptual fields common to the lyrics of rap culture, this topic remains poorly studied within framework of interpretation of the Russian rap lyrics as a literary text. The concepts of “human”, “time”, “life” in rap lyrics manifest as the key indicator of the system arrangement of a literary text; and despite their universal nature, reflect the specific content, which is substantiated by communicative and stylistic peculiarities of rap. The conducted analysis of rap lyrics demonstrates that the concept of “life” can perform a leading role one in arrangement of the lexical-semantic space of the text, as it suggests a complex representation of social reality (time and space), life activities of the subject and their assessment, reflection on the new life and new people. The article employs descriptive method, contextual analysis, quantitative-statistical analysis, as well as the method of continuous sampling.

This study aims to analyze linguistic contact in a written language on a sample of advertisements for Russian-speaking immigrants in the German city of Nuremberg, where there is a well-developed infrastructure for Russian-speaking immigrants, including the availability of periodicals. The study has the following research questions: What functions do Russian and German, as well as other languages, perform in advertisements in periodicals for Russian-speaking immigrants? Is there a correlation between the subject matter of the ads and the language or languages used? What phenomena of language contact found in the spoken language of Russian-speaking immigrants are characteristic of advertisements? A corpus consisting of 443 advertisements, obtained through continuous sampling from periodicals, was collected for the study. The analysis revealed that Russian, German, English, Ukrainian, and Latin fulfil specific functions in the advertisements. It was found that, depending on the subject matter, advertisers choose a particular language or language combination for their ads. At the lexical and morphosyntactic levels were identified borrowings from German and English, entirely or partially grammatically integrated into Russian, and cases of code-switching between Russian and German. Thereby, the study highlights one aspect of the linguistic situation of the Russian-speaking community in Germany and may implicitly serve to assess the vitality of the Russian language in Germany.

The analysis of errors induced by cross-language interference in the sounding speech of Italian-speaking students is carried out. The material was collected by continuous sampling. The results of the analysis showed that the system of the Russian language, which is not easy to learn, and the influence of the native language and English as compulsory in the study of Italian students, are the main reasons for errors in sounding speech. The relevance of the undertaken research is ex-plained by the fact that the compilation of a typology of speech errors and the inclusion of each of them in the corresponding paradigm is the key to successful teaching work leading to excellent results in mastering the normative Russian language by Italian-speaking students. The subject of the research is the errors induced by cross-language interference in the sounding speech of Italian-speaking students. The purpose of this research is to analyze the linguistic and psychological na-ture of the speech errors of our recipients.

The subject of this research is the integration of the elements of old genres in to a composition of Arthur Honegger’s dramatic oratorio. Particular attention is paid to formation of the system of interrelated intonation-dramaturgical spheres and vocal-symphonic development of recurring themes, motifs and sound symbols. The author examines the interaction of verbal and vocal-symphonic elements of sound fabric. The goal consists in identification of the traits of old genres and other archaic elements within the synthetic form of musical/dramatic theatre, as well as determination of the dominant aspect of musical meaning therein. Research methodology is based on the musical-hermeneutic reconstruction of the process of composing, detection of the fundamental principles of musical dramaturgy along with functions of cited by the composer Latin texts in the synthetic form of dramatic oratorio. The main method for this work became the musical-theoretical analysis of polyphonic vocal-symphonic musical fabric, and analysis of the verbal texts of voice part in the French and Latin languages, in de visu score. This article is first to interpret integration of the genre codes of medieval mystery play and citations from liturgical texts of the previous eras, including the Holy Scripture, into the compositions of dramatic oratorio of Arthur Honegger as the means for creating temporal multidimensionality of the synthetic form of French musical/dramaturgical theatre of the XX century within the context of Christian tradition. Honegger has overcome the linearity of narration through integration into the composition of the traits of previous eras. The citation of liturgical texts, including Holy Scripture, lead to expansion of the semantic space of literary text of the dramatic oratorio. This established the idea of synthesis of time and eternity characteristic to Christianity.

Language redundancy is an actual problem for native Russian speakers. In this article, the authors consider the issue of linguistic redundancy in written communication, and describe some of its aspects using examples derived from various scientific and popular-scientific articles in the field of humanities (psychology, linguistics, literary criticism) selected from public Internet sources. The article describes the history of the scientific study of the problem of linguistic redundancy in texts of various styles, presents a typology of examples of linguistic redundancy primarily at the level of a combination of lexical units and at the level of text construction. The research also gives arguments on the reasons for linguistic redundancy emergence and possible steps to overcome it. The object of the study is a popular-scientific and scientific text, the subject of the study are stylistic errors and elements of language redundancy. The material of the analysis is represented in the texts obtained by the method of continuous sampling from collections of scientific articles in the Russian language, posted on the Internet. In each specific example, the authors propose their own way of expressing content without unnecessary lexical units, omitting or replacing them with synonyms and synonymous expressions. The stylistic error causing the problem of linguistic redundancy is a violation of the formal connection of sentences in the text, in which the reference words or link words are repeated. The article provides their typology and examples of errors of this type. The scientific novelty of the research is primarily related to the lack of research on linguistic redundancy on the material of scientific texts In Russian. The authors of the article see the practical value and possible implementation of the results in the drawing attention of the authors of scientific texts to their works in terms of their compliance with the norm in this aspect.

Purpose. LT is a complex and multifaceted object of philological analysis, which allows for a plurality of approaches to its interpretation. New impulses in the philological study of literary text (LT) are associated with the development of narrative and cognitive trends in modern humanities. These trends allow studying the individual demiurge’s worldview reflected in LT through the prism of artistic and aesthetic concepts. At the current stage of linguistics development, the issues of interaction between language and thinking, language and culture, language and ethnicity are especially relevant. As thinking plays a leading role in the process of forming a linguistic worldview, an important role in linguistic research in recent decades is played by the cognitive direction, through which the functioning of language is seen as a kind of cognitive activity, and the concept is the basic unit integrating language and culture.Key concepts of culture have an important presence in the collective language consciousness, so their study becomes an extremely important issue. Characterization of the Robert Burns’s basic individual-authorial concepts from the linguo-axiological standpoint became the purpose of the study.To achieve the purpose, one must solve problems such as framing the term “concept” with further defining the term “conceptual system”, description of the R. Burns’s idiodiscourse conceptual system and its integral structural elements, as well as the analysis of the values that form the basis of the individual-authorial worldview.Methods used during the study include contextual and conceptual analysis, the continuous sampling and descriptive methods.Results. The mental organization of the R. Burns’s works, which concentrates the totality of all concepts, consists of the following concepts: LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, FREEDOM, HONOR, POVERTY, JOY, HYPOCRISY, LABOR, NOBLES, which are endowed different axiological characteristics. The values that R. Burns uses in his works are condemnation of the nobles cruelty, contempt for material wealth and accumulation of savings, but compassion for the poor, respect for friendship, fidelity to brotherhood and sincere love, as well as the assertion of equality and freedom, honor and sense of human dignity.Conclusions. The conceptual system of R. Burns’s idiodiscourse consists of concepts that are endowed with positive and negative axiological characteristics: the concepts of LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, FREEDOM, HONOR, JOY have a positive value; concepts NOBLES, HYPOCRISY have negative-value; concepts POVERTY, LABOR are ambivalent-value.Key words: conceptualization, concept, linguoaxiology, axiological characteristic, worldview, literary text. Мета. Художній текст є складним і багатоаспектним об’єктом філологічного аналізу, який уможливлює множинність підходів до його тлумачення. Нові імпульси у філологічному вивченні художнього тексту пов’язані з розвитком наративного та когнітивного напрямів у сучасному гуманітарному знанні, котрі дають змогу досліджувати відображену в художньому тексті індивідуальну картину світу автора-творця крізь призму художньо-естетичних концептів.На сучасному етапі розвитку лінгвістики особливо актуальними стають питання взаємодії мови та мислення, мови та культури, мови й етносу. Оскільки мислення посідає чільне місце у процесі формування мовної картини світу, важливу роль у лінгвістичних дослідженнях останніх десятиліть відіграє когнітивний напрям, за допомогою якого функціонування мови розглядається як різновид пізнавальної діяльності, а концепт є основною одиницею, що інтегрує в собі мову та культуру в їх взаємопроникненні.Ключові концепти культури займають важливе місце в колективній мовній свідомості, тому їхнє дослідження стає надзвичайно актуальною проблемою. Характеристика базисних індивідуально-авторських концептів Роберта Бернса з лінгвоаксіологічних позицій і стала метою цього дослідження.Досягнення встановленої мети включає розв’язання таких завдань, як визначення поняття «концепт» із подальшим з’ясуванням специфіки терміна «концептуальна система», опис концептосистеми ідіодискурсу Р. Бернса та її невід’ємних структурних елементів, а також аналіз ціннісних орієнтирів, що становлять основу індивідуально-авторської картини світу.Методи, застосовані під час виконання дослідження, включають контекстуальний та концептуальний аналізи, метод суцільної вибірки, описовий метод.Результати. Проведене дослідження дає змогу отримати результати, які свідчать про те, що ментальну організацію творів Р. Бернса, де зосереджена сукупність усіх концептів, становлять такі концепти: LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, FREEDOM, HONOR, POVERTY, JOY, HYPOCRISY, LABOR, NOBLES, які наділені різними аксіологічними характеристиками. Ціннісні орієнтири, якими Р. Бернс оперує у своїх творах, – це осуд жорстокості класу знаті, презирливе ставлення до матеріального блага та накопичення, але співчуття до бідняків, шанобливе ставлення до дружби, вірність братньому духу і щирій любові, а також затвердження рівності та свободи людей, честі та почуття людської гідності.Висновки. Концептуальну систему ідіодискурсу Р. Бернса становлять концепти, які наділені позитивними і негативними аксіологічними характеристиками: концепти LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, FREEDOM, HONOR, JOY – позитивно-ціннісні; концепти NOBLES, HYPOCRISY – негативно-ціннісні; концепти POVERTY, LABOR – амбівалентно-ціннісні.Ключові слова: концептуалізація, концепт, лінгвоаксіологія, аксіологічна характеристика, картина світу, художній текст

We present the modern views of literature studies scholars, linguists and culturologists on the concept of irony in a poetic work. We analyze different ways of expressing irony on the example of contemporary Russian-language poetry by D. Nakipov. We center on material of the research literature on the analysis of the text poetics and lyrical poems of the Russian-speaking poet of Kazakhstan. Research methods: we use the method of continuous sampling to establish elements of irony in poetic texts; component and semantic analysis is used to determine the ironic meaning at various levels of literary text: lexical, grammatical, syntactic. Conclusion: in the works of D. Nakipov irony conveys the inner attitude of the narrator to what is happening, his mood and feelings through pun, antiphrasis, changes in phraseology, the use of neologisms, etc. Different ways of expressing irony create an ironic worldview. The ironic appeal, promise, readdressing, common-language and individually-author’s words and expressions with an ironic tone serves several functions (emotive, expressive, characterological) and passes several meanings (state, attitude, influence, characterization).

This article is aimed at presenting a methodology for the conceptual analysis of poetic texts based on their lexical structure using the theory of communicative stylistics. The lexical structure of the literary text is considered to be a means of aсquainting the reader with the values manifested therein. The study of values intertwined within written works is particularly significant for the development of an axiological approach to teaching the Russian language. This article proposes a method for a sequential analysis of the lexical structure of a poetic text, which can be used at Russian language lessons.
