The relevance of the study. The traditional idea of a cadence as a primarily harmonic phenomenon does not completely correspond to some musical styles, including Renaissance and early Baroque. Revealing the polyphonic essence of cadences in vocal works of the Renaissance, which is the aim of the article, allows deeper understanding peculiarities of musical thinking of that period. Scientific novelty. The historical approach to the analysis of cadences is quite common in foreign musicological works; this approach is still new for Ukrainian musicology. The research material is also new: the cycle of motets by G. Palestrina on the text of “Song of Songs” was unfairly ignored by Ukrainian and foreign scholars. Thus, the study is relevant both in relation to the method and in relation to the musical material involved in its approbation. The purpose of the article is to show the specifics of cadences in the style of a strict counterpoint using the motets from the cycle “Canticum Canticorum” by G. Palestrina, to reveal the role of cadences in the modal and compositional processes of a Renaissance work. Research methods. The study systematizes the data obtained as a result of the analysis of the cadences of G. Palestrina’s motets, thus, the main research method is inductive. The main results and conclusions of the study. Cadences in vocal polyphony of the Renaissance have a polymelodic nature, which is realized by combining typical melodic turns (clausulae) in different voices. The clausulae order in the voices and their completeness degree are effective criteria for the classification of cadences (e. g. the classification by E. Rotem). Cadences in which the main clausulae are presented in full (i. e. contain ultima and penultima) are strong. Cadences in which one or more clausulae are incomplete are weak. The role of strong and weak cadences in the composition is different: strong cadences are placed at the nodal points of the piece, they have a dividing function; weak cadences are placed in the middle of the text line and they have a connecting function. Strong cadences are the norm, while weak ones violate the norm, revealing the author’s ingenuity. There are a few ways to weaken the cadence: replacing the ultima with a pause or a different sound, distributing the clausula between several voices, extending the melodic line of one of the cadence voices, etc. Weak cadences significantly outnumber strong cadences. In the Dorian motets from the cycle “Song of Songs” by G. Palestrina weak cadences play an important role in the formation of the mode within the sound scale, as well as in revealing the meaning of the verbal text.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the connection in the speech of a personal deixis with the facets of a linguistic personality, which are explicable to the speaker. Deixis is one of the important ego-markers and most clearly manifests itself in a dialogue situation, which determined the choice of radio interview as a research material. The interview involves three participants in the communicative act: the interviewer, the interviewee and the interview listener. The interviewer, despite his role as the organizer of the interview, manifests himself as a carrier of subjective assessment (explicit and implicit), and as a discursive personality, and as a professional. Depending on this, the speaker uses the pronoun “I” in speech in different meanings: from “I” as a formal element that organizes communication between interview participants to “I” as a marker of the speaker’s personality (biographical and mental). Similar meanings of the pronoun "I" are highlighted in the speech of the interviewee. In accordance with the function of the pronoun “I”, we propose the following general classification of the personal “I” deixis: “I” deixis of the organizer of the communicative act, which includes performative and discursive “I” deixis, and “I” deixis of the person of the speaker, consisting of the biographical and mental “I” deixis. It is proved that deictic, regardless of the function performed, contains an element of subjective assessment, that is, the speaker, even in the formal role of the organizer, always brings his point of view to the statement

We consider consonant complexes at the beginning, middle, and end of Mordovian (Moksha and Erzya) words absent in related Finno-Ugric languages. The purpose of the study was to find out the reasons for the origin of this phenomenon (the absence of consonant complexes) and to determine to what historical period of language development it belongs. The research material was Mordovian (Moksha and Erzya) languages, in which there is a large group of words with consonant complexes. The main research methods were synchronous descriptive and comparative historical, involving the classification of linguistic facts, their analysis, and restoration of certain historical aspects. The study revealed that the consonant complexes in Mordovian languages are innovative. At the beginning of the word, their appearance cannot be attributed to one historical period. The reason for the loss of the vowel of the first syllable should be sought in the changes that have occurred in the accentological system: a more sonorous vowel or vowel from the diphthongal combination of not the first syllable acquired the ability to pull the stress from the narrow or reduced vowel of the first syllable onto itself. In the middle and at the end of the word, consonant complexes are observed at the junction of morphemes, with there being two reasons for their formation: 1) loss of the final vowel (often reduced) non-derivative basis during agglutination of the relational or derivational affix; 2) joining of the affix with the initial consonant to the primary consonant base.

The article is a report of research aimed at identifying and describing the educational functions of descriptive assessment, especially in the field of supporting the role of the student as the "creator of actions", the role of a colleague and the role of a person. This was related to an attempt to reach the role model of a student, colleague and person adopted by the teacher, because according to the perspective of symbolic interactionism, the models of perceiving the child in these roles have an impact on the teacher's educational activities. Discourse analysis was used as the main research method. Understanding discourse as a tool for analysing social space allowed for the interpretation of descriptive assessment through a specifically understood language and allowed to look at the assessment as a way of the method of communication between the teacher and the student. The research technique used was the analysis of documents, i.e. the analysis of classification descriptive assessment, which were treated as tools for talking to children and parents. The results of the research lead to the conclusion that descriptive assessment does not have to be a disciplinary tool for the student, a form of control or authority over the student, and the student does not have to be perceived by the teacher as a "performer of activities". Descriptive assessment may become a helpful diagnostic tool in education based on constructivist ideas if teachers are original and pay attention to such features of the student's role that help to develop reflection, independence, creative thinking, intrinsic motivation. Such teachers are able to combine the expectations directed to the "student" with the expectations directed to the "person" and "colleague". In the descriptive assessments they construct, the model of the student as the "creator of actions" is clearly distinguished. For them, the assessment is a helpful work tool, and gives students the opportunity to enter the reflective learning process.

Introduction. In mythologies of the world, the image of the snake ranks among the most studied characters and has various interpretations. In folklore of Turko-Mongols, it has also been a subject of multiple analyses. Still, the article makes a first attempt at revealing the image of the snake as a taboo sacred character in ritual folklore of the Mongolic peoples. Goals. The paper primarily seeks to identify functions of the snake therein, delineate the symbolic framework, reveal positive and negative connotations. Materials and Methods. The main research method employed is that of comparative analysis instrumental in examining the image of the snake as a semiotic sign. Interdisciplinary analysis of ethnographic and folklore materials, as well as comparisons to Turkic ritual actions, expand the boundaries of identifying the semantics of the image. Results. The snake in shamanic mythology of the Mongolic peoples appears in the hypostasis of the otherworldly Spirit closely associated with the shaman. Images of snakes in cave drawings, petroglyphs, shamanic ongons (sanctuaries), and costumes emphasize their sacred function. In shamanic practice, a snake image can be used as a protective element in the form of a walking-stick or whip. Symbolically, a snake in the form of straps implies a connotation of the animal’s magical abilities. The role of a mediator between worlds allows the snake simultaneously performing the function of a protective force. Functions of the snake in rites are interchangeable and complement each other. Shamanic texts of the Mongolic peoples consistently mention the main function of the snake is that of a carrier between worlds, which is closely related to its transforming abilities. Conclusions. The study resumes the snake in shamanic ritual actions of the Mongolic peoples — with positive connotations — functions as an assistant, intermediary, carrier, and envoy from another world that provides communication between realms. It also reveals patterns of transcoding the snake image in different semiotic systems, interconnectedness and interchangeability of sacral reptile functions.
