The article is devoted to the most famous ancient sanctuary of the northern Selkups – Shaman Mountain Lozyl-lakka on Lozyl-to Lake. The purpose of the study is to combine the information available about it in the scientific literature and in the author's field archive and to find out what this object of the sacred landscape is. The research methods were description, semantic analysis and fieldwork. The result of the study was the conclusion that Lozyl-lakka is a family sanctuary, where sacrifices were made to the spirits-masters of the ancestral fishing grounds, on which the success of members of the clan in the trade "depended". The memory of the sanctuary has survived to this day due to its location in a remarkable natural place. It was also found that the sacred mountain serves as an indicator of the state of the modern ethnic identity of the Selkups. It is characterized by the preservation of faith in spirits and strict adherence to a number of traditions that this belief dictates, therefore, the process of transformation of traditional culture into new modern forms among the Selkups, which is ongoing among the northern peoples today, is hampered by the vitality of some elements of this very traditional culture. A separate comprehensive study of the Lozyl-Lakka sanctuary, including the standpoint of the attitude of modern Selkups, constitutes the scientific novelty of the study. The publication of summary data on the sanctuary preserves it as part of the cultural heritage for future generations of Selkups and replenishes the data bank of ethnographic science.

Today the education internationalization has become one of the economy sectors in the developed countries; the export potential of Russian education is still largely underutilized. Until now, domestic and foreign scientific literature lacks a comprehensive study of state policies pursued by national states to develop the internationalization and/or regionalization. The study of internationalization policies tends to focus on in-depth case studies across two to three countries. However, studies with a narrow geographic scope, although they provide valuable information about this phenomenon, do not allow us to see a holistic picture. The article attempted to overcome the indicated gaps in scientific research by analyzing the strategies of higher education regionalization and internationalization at countries that occupy a large market share and formulate recommendations for Russia. The article argued that in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the priority area for the internationalization is the development of virtual mobility and internal internationalization and regionalization.

This article is dedicated to the problem of the choice of name for a text semantic field formed within a literary text. The goal consists in determination of factors that hinder or preclude the naming of a text field. The subject of this research is the text semantic field observed particularly in the novels of F. M. Dostoevsky “The Idiot” and I. S. Turgenev “Home of the Gentry”. The author establishes that the text semantic field is closely connected to the contexts where elements of the field can be equitable, which complicates determination of the core and periphery of a text field, namely its name. In the course of research, the author applied the methods of analysis of scientific literature, interpretation of literary text as an aesthetic system, and method of semantic analysis. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the author is first to discuss the question of difficulties of naming a text field using the materials of the novels “The Idiot”  by F. M. Dostoevsky and “Home of the Gentry” by I. S. Turgenev. The conclusion is made that in majority of cases a text field can be named by the most frequent element therein. At the same time, the name “Idiot” in F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel does not fully reveal the content of a text field. In some instances it is impossible to name a text field (as in the novel “Home of the Gentry” by I. S. Turgenev), since elements of the field deal with the equitable mutual implication.

Cultural Functions

В основу статьи легли положения акад. С.М. Толстой о том, что «символика предмета может мотивироваться разными его свойствами и признаками»; что «один и тот же признак может порождать несколько разных символов»; что «далеко не все объекты внешнего мира, как и не все предметы освоенного человеком пространства, вовлекаются в систему символов и обрядности». В них кроется объяснение, почему одни из реалий фигурируют в культурных контекстах, а у других наблюдается отсутствие и культурных функций, и символических значений. Авторы статьи преследовали цель выявить культурные контексты, культурную семантику и функции такого элемента природного кода традиционной народной культуры, как «волос(-ы)». Их интересовало, как они вовлекаются в систему символов и обрядности, в каких символах находит выражение эта природная реалия, сохранились ли первичные символы, образы и аллегории, закрепленные в символах волос, в современном представлении людей. Информация относительно поставленных вопросов почерпнута из работ лингвистов, этнографов, научно-популярной литературы и собранного авторами полевого материала. The key issues of the article are the ideas of academician S.M. Tolstaya, who claims that “the symbolism of an object can be motivated by its various qualities and features” and that “one and the same feature can bring forth several different symbols”, and also that “not necessarily all the objects that a man has learned to use should be involved into the system of symbols and rituals”. This accounts for the selectiveness with which culture endows some terms with the ability to exist in cultural contexts, while others are bereft of both cultural functions and symbolic meanings. The authors' aim was to reveal cultural contexts, cultural semantics and functions of such an element of a traditional culture as (a) hair, whether it is involved in the system of symbols and rituals, in what symbols this natural realia is expressed and whether the primary symbols, images and allegories, secured in the symbols of (a) hair have been preserved in the perception of modern people. The research was based on the works of ethnographers, on popular scientific literature and on field data gathered by the authors themselves.

The article considers the secret means of Kazakh communication and analyzes the purpose and place of using secret means of communication. The types of secret communication, the national characteristics of the phenomenon using examples from works of art are described. It shows that both verbal and non-verbal means of communication take an important place in communication. Based on the semantic analysis of auxiliary means of communication used depending on the worldview and culture, history and lifestyle of each nation, on the basis of language facts the author shows an important place of this phenomenon in the life of each people. Secret language is a phenomenon that exists in a language, but has not been the object of special research, except for one or two statements in the scientific literature. Therefore, our goal is to reveal the nature of the whole phenomenon in language and determine the ways of their transmission.

Предметом данной статьи является семантика образа барана / овцы, как особо почитаемого животного в традиционном мировоззрении хакасов. Основными источниками для исследования послужили историко-этнографические материалы. Используемые в работе архивные этнографические данные вводятся в научный оборот впервые. В работе представлена характеристика роли и места барана в повседневной жизни хакасов. Животное имело широкое практическое применение в хозяйстве, в частности, как источник мясной пищи и сырья. В повседневной жизни это парнокопытное служило мерой стоимости товаров и услуг, использовалось в меновой торговле и было одним из главных атрибутов процессов дарообмена. В мировоззрении народа образ барана устойчиво связан с идеями витальности и плодородия. Это животное играло важную роль во взаимоотношениях людей с миром духов. В связи с этим в хакасской обрядности существует практика посвящения домашних животных различным духам-покровителям, что подразумевает подношение животных в качестве живой жертвы определённому духу. Такие животные являлись воплощением плодородия и благодати. Аналогичную функцию могли выполнять и другие избранные животные, называемые в народе мал кизiк или мал талаан, а также соответствующие каменные изваяния кӧзее / обаа. The purpose of this article is to characterize the image of a ram / sheep in the traditional culture of the Khakas, as an animal that gives a person well-being and prosperity. The chronological framework of the work covers the late 19th — mid-20th centuries. The choice of such time boundaries is due to the state of the source base for the research topic. Leading in the study is the principle of historicism, when any cultural phenomenon is considered in development and taking into account a specific situation. The research methodology is based on historical and ethnographic methods: remnants (relic) and semantic analysis. As a result of the analysis, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. in the traditional culture of the Khakas, the ram / sheep and its image occupied an important place. The animal in question was extremely in demand due to its utilitarian and sacred meaning. In practical terms, it was undoubtedly perceived as an important and accessible source of meat food and raw materials for household needs; 2) The presence of a large number of small ruminants along with other domestic animals was the basis of material prosperity and a high social status of a person in society; 3) In folk life, the ram served as a measure of the value of goods and services, was widely used in exchange trade and was a widespread subject of gift exchange processes; 4) The image of a ram was consistently associated with the idea of vitality and fertility; 5) Some rams / sheep were included in the category of sacred domestic animals — yzykh. They acted as living sacrifices to various patron spirits. They believed that they mystically contributed to the well-being of the economy. Yzykh had the status of an inviolable creature and were distinguished by ritual ribbons — chalama; 6) The images of some patron spirits of sheep, to whom the yzykh were dedicated, had their own material image and were called tos. There was a ritual practice in relation to them; 7) The Khakass also gave sacred status to special animals called mal kizik or mal talaan. They usually had the appearance of a lamb and personified the center of happiness and well-being of the entire human economy; 8) In the cult practice of the Khakas, the veneration of a stone statue of a ram khucha tas, the embodiment of the life force of livestock, became widespread.

The paper describes the semantics of the preposition "по", which is the most ambiguous and common preposition of the modern Russian language. Thus, it reveals a tendency to blurred semantics, which makes a deeper consideration of this problem quite relevant. The author analyzed scientific literature on this issue and built a classification its meanings. The semantic analysis and statistical calculations were conducted in the basis of scientific texts. The preposition proved to be used mostly in the meaning of adverbial modifier of manner "to act in accordance with something, on the basis of something". Within this meaning, a number of semantic shades were highlighted: to be defined according to some parameter; act on the basis of certain data, facts; act in accordance with a certain way of organizing the phenomenon; act on the basis of someone's will (decision), desire; act in accordance with certain official documents and procedures; to be defined according to a certain naming method; to be defined on the basis of some measurement method. The analysis can improve the semantic structure of the preposition "по" in modern Russian.

The Creation

This study intended to identify which referent features are more frequently selected in the naming of the concept class of places and, in turn, determine which are the preferred conceptualizations in Mapudungun. This language is mainly spoken by Mapuche people in central and southern areas of Chile and in the Central-West area of Argentina. To identify the features of this conceptualization, a cognitive-semantic analysis of the conceptual patterns of 112 nominal compounds pertaining to the concept subclasses of natural places (intervened and non-intervened) and non-natural places (installations and territorial divisions) was conducted. Results show that, for non-intervened natural places, an entity present in the natural place is preferably selected in the name, whereas for intervened places, an agricultural activity or an animal associated to the place is preferably chosen. Concerning installations, the preferred conceptual pattern specifies, by means of the constituent ruka ‘house’, the man-made nature of the place. Regarding territorial divisions, the preferred naming pattern combines two place concepts. This information is crucial for the creation of neologisms in Mapudungun because it guarantees that newly formed lexical units are coherent with the Mapuche worldview and do not import foreign models.

This article addresses migration in the late seventeenth and the eighteenth century from Eastern Tibet to Chang Tang, the enormous high-plateau in Western Tibet. Evidence is presented about the rise of an intriguingly well-regulated nomadic society, questioning the dominant, environmentally framed narrative of Chang Tang as an uninhabited wilderness. The article examines why people started migrating, sheds light on specific migratory events and their cumulative effects. The article examines nomads’ adaptation to a sacred mountain landscape, an inhospitable climate, established customary practices and contending centralised sources of religious and political authority, while drawing on their own martial ethos and diverse skill sets. In order to explain causes and outcomes of specific events, the article employs an interdisciplinary theoretical approach. This approach unravels Chang Tang as pastoral realm, sacred landscape and contested frontier – sought controlled by the lords of distant Lhasa and empires of the Western Himalayas and Central Asia.
