Статья посвящена описанию структурных и содержательных характеристик трактатов и диссертаций XVII века, а также современной диссертации на английском языке. Выполняется сравнительный анализ научных трудов на начальном этапе национализации медицинской науки в Великой Британии, и современных диссертаций - в период функционирования английского языка как lingua franca в мировой науке. This research is devoted to the linguistic study of English dissertations in medicine. The scientific works are represented by the genre of a written scientific medical text in English with the characteristic of functional features and they were defended in Great Britain. Diachronic research of linguistic phenomena involves the study of written scientific works and they belong to different periods of British history and medical science and it is important to correlate the studied phenomenon at different stages with the medicine development.

Few periods of Irish history have been more extensively written about than the later eighteenth century: a mere list of books and papers dealing with the Volunteer movement, ‘Grattan's parliament’, the insurrection of 1798 and the legislative union of 1800 would make up a moderate-sized volume. Most of these writings are concerned, directly or indirectly, with the constitutional relationship between Ireland and Great Britain. Indeed, it might be said that this relationship is the basic theme in the Irish history of the period, even for social and economic historians; and the pattern is so well-established that it may well seem rash to assume that it can be substantially modified, or even made significantly clearer, except, perhaps, by the production of new and hitherto unsuspected evidence. Yet there is something to be said for looking again at the whole subject on the basis of our existing knowledge, not simply, as Irish historians are inclined to do, from the standpoint of Ireland, nor yet as if events in Ireland were a mere appendage to British history, but rather, as Professor Butterfield has done for one brief period in his George III, Lord North and the people, to consider Anglo-Irish constitutional relations during the late eighteenth century as part of the general political history of the British Isles.

British History

(In this commentary all titles mentioned may be assumed to be available in paperback unless explicitly stated otherwise.)According to E. J. Hobsbawm in an article in the Times Literary Supplement in the spring of 1966, the number of history titles published in Britain in 1965 increased by 15 per cent over 1964, and in the United States by 24 per cent. Just where paperbacks figure in this rise, it is impossible to say, but for the United States the Bowker catalog, Paperbound Books in Print, for February 1965 lists 30,700 titles; the catalog for June 1966 lists 38,500 titles. The February 1966 issue of Paperbacks in Print … and on Sale in Great Britain, published by J. Whitaker & Sons, Ltd., incorporates 18,000 titles; the catalog for October 1966, 22,000 titles. Thus far have paperbacks come since July 30, 1935, the day of birth of Penguin Books, London, with ten titles.American booksellers, generally speaking, are less articulate than English. It is not difficult to get an English dealer to talk about the boon of the paperback. And some talk lyrically. I. P. M. Chambers, director of the Bryce Bookshop, Museum Street, London W.C. 1, may be taken as representative. “Paperbacks have been a conveyor belt to prosperity,” were approximately his words, “for without them many a bookshop in this country would have closed after the war. The paperback has done more for education than any institution.

Perlocutionary Effect

The article analyzes fake news texts from the perspective of linguistic pragmatics and its key concept, speech act theory. The specificity of fake news lies in the fact that, while ontologically functioning as a carrier of factual information, this type of text contains intentionally false information deliberately presented as real facts, often rendered provocative. Linguistic study of the fake news phenomenon is especially relevant since there is a clear demand for effective tools that would help disclose fake news texts, understand their nature, and describe functional features of such texts in political communication. Analyzing the modern German political discourse, the authors identify a trend of using fake news texts to vilify and destroy the authority and reputation of certain political forces and describe a number of key features of fake news texts. The article outlines issues related to the linguistic study and verification of fake news texts with the hope to develop reliable models for describing this text type and to develop practical guidelines that would enable users to detect fake news in discourse. The study justifies the high explanatory potential of the speech act theory which offers objective means to examine the manipulation mechanism in fake news texts in terms of the illocutionary force and the perlocutionary effect of an utterance. The analysis of the illocutionary struc-ture of fake news messages leads to the conclusion that false propositional content in conjunction with the constitutive rules of the illocution “statement” of the text type “news” is conditional on the high perlocutionary effect of fake news in the modern German political discourse. The article evaluates the prospects of studying fake news texts from within the paradigm of the speech act theory and links them to identifying linguistic markers of deliberate distortion of the true propositional content.

Recent Advances

In this initial volume of a new series of "Advances," the editors state in the preface that their aim "is to provide a readable account of selected important developments [in clinical chemistry], of their roots in the allied fundamental disciplines, and of their impact upon the progress of medical science." The editors have drawn on eminent authorities from Australia, Sweden and Switzerland as well as Great Britain and the United States to contribute nine chapters on a wide variety of subjects. The reviews, which in general are of exceptional quality, provide a critical evaluation of important advances in methods of analysis and their clinical significance. In addition to much useful information on analytic techniques of value to the investigator, the reviews contain a wealth of information clearly and succinctly presented which reflect the authors' thorough syntheses of recent advances in their special fields. The extensive bibliographies include a large number of references in the foreign literature.
