The purpose of the article is to determine the genre specificity of the Chinese original children's musical Sanbao “The Wanderings of San Mao” (2011), created on the basis of Zhang Liping's (1940) comics of the same name. Methodology - historical, comparative, genre. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the establishment of genre specificity of the Chinese children's musical. Genre specificity of the Chinese children's musical is distinguished both by its audience purpose and by the reinterpreted implementation of the features of comics of the same name, the reliance on which determined the storyline, the image of the main character, the dramaturgical features of the stage work. The general genre features of comics and musicals are systematized, the influence of graphic and literary prototypes on the musical “The Wanderings of San Mao”, observed in the system of genetic, historical, genre, and content prerequisites are revealed. The content commonality of comics and musicals is embodied, in particular, in their genre names, which reflect their inherent comedic origins. The historical unity of comics and musicals is due to their gaining popularity since the middle of the 19th century. From a genre point of view, comics (based on the union of graphics and literary text) and the musical (based on the interaction of comic opera and operetta, vaudeville and burlesque, show and variety, ballet and dramatic interlude) have a mixed nature. The Sanbao musical seems to absorb the constituent elements of comic opera, adding them to the context of other genre components of the theatrical whole. Since comics are a kind of literary genre, it becomes possible to interpret them as the libretto of a children's musical. The scene of the musical as a self-sufficient variety number is likened to a drawing from a comic strip, correlated with coherent plot development, the story of the hero's life set out in the short stories. Inheriting the nature of comics as a sequence of drawings, the Chinese children's musical appears as a kind of suite cycle of musical and dramatic scenes-novellas from the life of the protagonist. The discontinuity of the musical's scene-narratives is overcome, as in comic books, by the story of the main character's adventures and dreams unfolding through the story. The author contrasting pictures of the short story musical are united by a thorough plotline, the role of the principle of “three unities” (events take place during one day in the slums of old Shanghai, where a simple child's dream becomes unattainable). Conclusions. The genre peculiarity of the Chinese children's musical “The Wanderings of San Mao” is conditioned, firstly, by the specificity of the audience; secondly, by the embodiment of Zhang Liping's comic book features as a graphic-literary prototype of Sanbao's musical and stage work.

The theme of illegitimacy Guy de Maupassant evolved in his works this article perceives as one of the factors of the author’s concept of a person and the plane of intersection of the most typical motifs of his short stories. The study of the author’s concept of a person through the prism of polivariability of the motif of a bastard is relevant in today’s revision of traditional values, transformation of the usual social institutions and search for identities, etc. The purpose of the study is to give a definition to the existence specifics of the bastard motif in the Maupassant’s short stories by using historical and literary, comparative, structural methods of analysis as dominant. To do this, I analyze the content, variability and the role of this motive in the formation of the Maupassant’s concept of a person, the author’s innovations in its interpretation from the point of view of literary diachrony. Maupassant interprets the bastard motif in the social, psychological and metaphorical-symbolic sense. For the short stories with the presentation of this motif, I suggest the typology based on the role of it in the structure of the work and the ideological and thematic content: the short stories with a motif-fragment, the ones with the bastard’s leitmotif and the group where the bastard motif becomes a central theme. The Maupassant’s interpretation of the bastard motif combines the general tendencies of its existence in the world’s literary tradition and individual reading. The latter is the result of the author’s understanding of the relevant for the era issues: the transformation of the family model, the interest in the theory of heredity, the strengthening of atheistic sentiments, the growth of frustration in the system of traditional social and moral values etc. This study sets the ground for a prospective analysis of the evolution the bastard motif in the short-story collections of different years or a comparative study of the motif in short stories and novels by Maupassant.

Linguistic Phenomenon

The comprehension of admirativeness as an independent category took place relatively recently – at the end of the 20th century. Until now, some scholars have not recognized an independent character of admirative. However, in recent years there has been an increasingly noticeable tendency to recognize the separate role of admirativeness and to indicate that the expression of surprise evoked by unexpected information cannot be combined with similar meanings. At the same time, the ways and degree of expression of admirativeness in different language systems vary significantly. The introduction of such grammatical category as admirativeness and the term “admirative” refers to the second half of the 19th century. In 1879, O. Dozon coined the term in his works on the Albanian language. The choice of this name (Fr. admiratif comes from the verb “to admire”) is determined by the fact that the linguist interpreted the concept as a certain sense of admiration or surprise, often having an ironic character. Further the development of this direction showed that admirative had the meaning of surprise rather than admiration. In this connection, in 1997, S. de Lancey first singled out this concept into a separate grammatical category. The scholar substantiates it by the fact that in a number of languages, such as Korean, Turkish, Tibetan, Dardic, Sanvar, etc., admirative has a separate grammatical expression. The identification of admirativeness as a separate linguistic phenomenon with a number of specific features has been still the subject of controversy among the researchers. Characteristics and distinctive features of admirativeness, allowing for the separation it from other similar categories will be considered later in the paper (Davletbaeva et al., 2013). In his writings, S. de Lancey uses the term “mirative”, thereby excluding its correlation with admiration introduced by O. Dozon from the meaning of the concept, and indicating that its primary function is to convey the subject’s astonishment. To date, the term “mirative” is widely used in English-language grammar. V.A. Plugnyan notes that the use of this term is more grounded from a typological point of view, however, the use of the concept “admirative” is often retained in domestic works (Smagina, 1996).

"Marcel Proust : The Berma, Actress’ Figure, Motherhood’s Character. La Berma is an actress in Proust’s novel À la recherche du temps perdu. Her main model is Sarah Bernhardt and she has the same beautiful voice, a golden voice. Both of them are famous for their role of Phèdre in Racine’s drama. Theatre represents firstly a family matter and a social challenge. The child discovers theatre outside theatre where he is not allowed to go, that is on posters from the Morris column. And the first approach is semiotic. Theatre is included in narration, through two performances that the hero attends. With them, we have an image of theatre in the 19th century, from a sociological and artistic point of view. In the first one, theatre is considered as a low art and actresses are immoral women. Theatre is a cruel world which leads from glory to death, brings rivalry between actresses. In the latter, theatre is above all a text; Proust is interested in gesture and costume. He is focused on the quality of interpretation in comparison with the role. He shows that interpretation is a real art, which can be compared to painting and music. Keywords: art, gesture, interpretation, verse, voice, Phèdre, Proust, Sarah Bernhardt."

Abstract The nineteenth century was a time of beginnings for the cultural press, marked by the actions of personalities who actively participated in the development of this field, but often the involvement of women is less valued, compared to that of men. Therefore, we consider opportune a study focused on the cultural-journalistic activity of three remarkable ladies: Maria Rosetti, Sofia Nădejde, Cornelia Morţun, who had an important contribution, not only in terms of the topics they covered, but also through their point of view, reformulating the role of women in that era.

Constructing history – constructing names. Personal names of early Hungarian history and the posterity The topic of the paper is how people of modern times attempt to approach the onomasticon of personal names of the past, of which they lack sufficient knowledge; and how they create a picture of it for themselves and their peers. The paper presents the topic with the help of examples from different eras and genres of cultural history. The paper is based on sources, originating from centuries later, of personal names of the Hungarian Middle Ages, especially the time of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (the end of the 9th century). In the case of the 13th-century Gesta Hungarorum, the intentions of the author and the methods he applied to create and give personal names to narrate the events of the Conquest, of which he had little knowledge, can be easily identified. The writers and poets of the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century – which was the era of national awakening, language reform and romanticism – also exemplify how authors could use old or create new personal names in their historical works influenced by the conditions of their era. Continuing the topic, the paper discusses the process and methods of renewing the onomasticon of first names in national contexts, the role of first names registries from this point of view, and how these often paint a misleading picture of their subject, and thus Hungarian history. Finally, the paper deals not only with the laic considerations of our oldest personal names, but also with the problems of their discussion from a historical point of view, emphasizing the need to involve not only historical onomastics but also the approaches of literary onomastics, folk and applied onomastics.

The aim of the paper is to present a semantically based approach to the teaching of the Spanish article usage from the point of view of contrastive analysis, taking into account the role of plurilingualism and the development of  the learner’s linguistic awareness, as envisaged by the CEFR. Dealing with the development of the linguistic awareness of the Slovene learners with regard to the acquisition of the Spanish article, we try to explain the uses of the Spanish article and the linguistic (or extralinguistic) mechanisms employed by the Slovene language to express definiteness on the basis of examples from Julio Cortazar's short story Las babas del diablo and its Slovene translation  by Vesna Velkovrh Bukilica. Also, the most problematic uses of the article with which Slovene learners may have problems –because of significant differences between Slovene and Spanish in the areas of grammar concerned – have been classified according to the different levels suggested in CEFR and in Plan Curricular of Instituto Cervantes. The final purpose of the study is to show the pedagogic implications of the use of contrastive analysis in language learning, especially in dealing with complex grammatical issues such as the acquisition of the Spanish article by Slovene learners.

El objetivo de esta investigación es realizar un estudio de las bases políticas y sociales que definen los primeros años de la Restauración en el Lugo decimonónico. En general, los orígenes de la Restauración se han analizado desde una perspectiva centralista que privilegiaba el papel de los políticos actuantes en el centro madrileño. En este artículo, por el contrario, se adopta una visión periférica que concede el protagonismo a los actores locales y provinciales. El estudio del activo papel de los alfonsistas lucences, de la peculiar traducción provincial de las disposiciones renovadores de diputaciones, ayuntamientos y empleados públicos, del papel del gobernador civil siempre muy condicionado por los políticos de la provincia o de los sólidos espacios de poder que se estructuran alrededor de estos poderosos provinciales, define un escenario de cambio muy complejo que en absoluto puede explicarse recurriendo únicamente al análisis de las ordenanzas gubernamentales y al conocimiento del activismo de los políticos capitalinos.The aim of thls investigation is to carry out a study of the social and political basis which define the first years of the Restoration in Lugo in the 19th century. Generally, the origins of the Restoration have been analized from a centralist idea which favoured the role of the politicians settied in the centre of Madrid. On the contrary, in thls article, local and provincial actors are treated as the protagonist from a peripheral point of view. The study of the active parí of the «alfonsistas» of Lugo, the study of the special provincial translation of the renewed ideas of the deputations, counciis and public empioyers, the study of the civil gobernar always condicionated by the provincial politicians and the study of the power arranged around these powerful people, define a very changeable complex stage which can't only be explained from the governmental point of view or from the activist knowledge of the politicians of the capital.

Labor Potential

Несмотря на высокий интерес ученых из различных сфер к исследованию понятия «трудовой потенциал», в настоящее время до сих пор не сформирован единый категориальный аппарат раскрытия сущности понятия. Цель статьи - сформулировать определение понятия «трудовой потенциал» на микро и макро - уровнях, основываясь на методологии системного подхода. Это особенно актуально для оценки трудового потенциала с экономической точки зрения. Научная новизна заключается в попытке поиска решения следующих исследовательских задач: очертить контуры понятия «трудовой потенциал», основываясь на исследованиях статистики, демографии и других наук; провести сравнение теорий управления трудовым потенциалом; рассмотреть особенности подходов к пониманию сущности понятия «трудовой потенциал»; раскрыть составные элементы понятия «трудовой потенциал». Сформулированные выводы по итогам проведенного исследования необходимы для уточнения терминологии и понимания сущности понятия «трудовой потенциал» в едином виде различными учеными, поскольку роль трудового потенциала в современной рыночной экономике - как фактора роста социально-экономического развития государства очень велика. Despite the high interest of different scientists to the investigation of «labor potential» concept, nowadays we don’t have a unified categorical apparatus for revealing the essence of the concept. This is especially relevant for assessing labour potential from an economic point of view. The article attempts to find a solution to five research problems: to outline the concept of «labor potential», based on statistics and demography data. The article compares labour potential management theories, analyzes the peculiarities of approaches to understanding the concept of «labour potential» reveals the constituent elements of the «labour potential» concept based on the methodology of the system approach and defines «labour potential» at micro and macro levels. The conclusions drawn from the study are necessary to clarify the terminology and understanding of the «labor potential» concept since the role of labor potential in the modern market economy is an essential factor in its socio-economic development.

Introduction. The study of the civilizational development stages of Russia is relevant due to the increasing role of the civilization factor in the modern multi-civilization world. The analysis of the scientific literature on the civilizational development of Russia shows that views on the nature of Russian civilization are pluralistic. The aim of the work is to analyze the historical stages of the civilizational development of Russia. The main tasks include the analysis of the Orthodox, Soviet and modern Russian civilization, their role in the multi-civilization world. Materials and Methods. The theoretical civilization model of S. Huntington is used as a theoretical and methodological basis for the analysis of the Russian civilization. To identify the stages of formation of the Russian civilization, historical, comparative, institutional and structural-functional methods were used. Results. From the point of view of its civilization development, Russia has gone through three stages: the formation of an Orthodox civilization, Soviet and Modern. Orthodox civilization was the core of a multi-ethnic and multi-religious cultural community of the Russian Empire. Its unique qualities did not predetermine confrontation and hostility towards the states of other civilizations. The Soviet civilization was formed as a result of state policy on the basis of communist ideology. It was in confrontation with the capitalist states of other (primarily Western) civilizations. The modern civilization of Russia is formed on the basis of the historical cultures of the peoples of Russia and the institutions of a democratic state of law. Its characteristic features create the possibility of cooperation with other civilizations of the modern world. Discussion and Conclusions. The civilizational development of Russia includes three stages, within which three different civilizations were formed: Orthodox, Soviet and Modern. Throughout its history, Russia has interacted with its surrounding countries and carried out a cultural and civilizational exchange with them. In most cases, this exchange was peaceful and mutually beneficial.
