The article is devoted to the functional-semantic aspect of obsolete vocabulary, which is widely used in poetic texts of Serhiy Zhadan. The traditional approach to the classification of obsolete vocabulary is revealed, among which archaisms and historicisms are distinguished. Groups of archaisms – lexical, lexical-word-forming, lexical-phonetic, morphological, lexical-semantic are considered. It is noted that historicisms, in contrast to archaisms, have no synonymous equivalents in modern Ukrainian language. They perform proper nominative function in historical texts, reproducing facts, events and phenomena of past epochs.It was found that Serhiy Zhadan introduced outdated words, which he has organically inserted into the artistic fabric of poetic works. In poetic texts of the artist (the collections of poems “Templars”, “Antenna”, “List of ships” were taken as the source base of the study) among obsolete vocabulary lexical archaisms, lexical-phonetic and lexical-word-forming were found. The following semantic groups of archaisms: names of body parts; names of diseases; names of individuals by profession, occupation, etc.; names of military items, ammunition, concepts, etc.; names of family relations; names of numbers are distinguished.In Serhiy Zhadan’s poetic texts archaisms give the language a solemn sound, express the author’s attitude to the depicted, convey his feelings and enhance the emotionality of poetic works.Historicisms in poetic texts of the artist outnumber archaisms. The following semantic groups of historicisms are revealed in his creative works: geographical names; words that characterize the social status, place of an individual in society; names of former professions, occupations; names of extinct nations; names of historical epochs; names of household items, women’s jewelry, etc.; names of buildings or their parts; names of various scientific studies, directions, etc.A detailed analysis of Serhiy Zhadan’s poetic language made it possible to identify the main functions performed by obsolete words in poetic texts: realistic depiction of the events of certain historical epoch; strengthening of solemnity, pathos of the depicted; creation of strong perceptual effect; expression of author’s opinion, etc.Key words: archaisms, historicisms, semantic groups, stylistic means, expressive function, nominative function. Стаття присвячена функціонально-семантичному аспекту застарілої лексики, що широко вживається в поетичних текстах Сергія Жадана. Розкрито традиційний підхід до класифікації застарілої лексики, серед якої виділяють архаїзми й історизми. Розглянуто групи архаїзмів – лексичні, лексико-словотвірні, лексико-фонетичні, морфологічні, лексико-семантичні. Зауважено, що історизми на відміну від архаїзмів не мають у сучасній українській мові синонімічних відповідників. Вони виконують власне номінативну функцію в історичних текстах, відтворюючи факти, події, явища минулих епох.З’ясовано, що Сергій Жадан широко послуговується застарілими словами, які органічно вводить у художню тканину поетичного твору. У поетичних текстах митця (джерельною базою дослідження послужили збірки поезій «Тамплієри», «Антена», «Список кораблів») серед застарілої лексики виявлено лексичні архаїзми, лексико-фонетичні й лексико-словотвірні. Виділено такі семантичні групи архаїзмів: назви частин тіла; назви хвороб; назви осіб за професією, родом занять тощо; назви військових речей, амуніцій, понять тощо; назви родинних стосунків; назви чисел.У поетичних текстах Сергія Жадана архаїзми надають мові урочистого звучання, виражають авторське став-лення до зображуваного, передають його почуття, переживання, підсилюють емоційність віршованого твору.Історизми в поетичних текстах митця кількісно переважають над архаїзмами. У його творчому доробку виявлено такі семантичні групи історизмів: географічні назви; слова, що характеризують соціальний стан, місце людини в суспільстві; назви колишніх професій, роду занять; назви зниклих народів; назви історичних епох; назви предметів побуту, жіночих прикрас тощо; назви будівель, їх частин; назви різноманітних наукових учень, течій, напрямів тощо.Детальний аналіз поетичної мови Сергія Жадана дав змогу виділити основні функції, що виконують застарілі слова у віршових текстах: реалістичне зображення подій певної історичної епохи; підсилення урочистості, пафосу зображуваного; створення сильного перцептивного ефекту; увиразнення авторської думки тощо.Ключові слова: архаїзми, історизми, семантичні групи, стилістичний засіб, експресивна функція, номінативна функція.

This paper tackles how speech acts offer deep insights into the social structure in poetic text. Most relevant research on poetic speech acts has shed much light on Western speech and literature, neglecting the speech act behavior of Arabic literature, particularly poetry. This study aimed to treat the effect of cultural aspects on the production of main speech acts in Al-Jawahiri's masterpiece 'O Sir! Inspire Me’. Relying on Searle's classification of main speech acts and the findings of analysis, the results show that the poet Al-Jawahiri utilizes more representative and expressive speech acts in his poem to enhance that what he presents is a fact to be believed concerning the praise and description of the king, His Majesty Hussein bin Talal, on the one hand, and his heartfelt love and emotion towards the king, on the other. This is also accompanied by the findings that there is an association between the socio-cultural aspects and the production of speech acts in poetic texts. Islam, Arabism and prestigious ancestry are factors that have been found to play an important role in defining the cultural norms of the production of main speech acts in the poem under scrutiny.

Benefits of using social-psychological approach in the analysis of labor motivations are considered in the article. Classification of employees as objects of economic analysis is offered: "the economic man", "the man of the organization", "the social man" and "the asocial man". Related models give the opportunity to predict behavior of the firm in different situations, such as shocks of various nature.

The article provides a philosophical analysis of the tropological theory of the history of H. White. The researcher claims that history is a specific kind of literature, and the historical works is the connection of a certain set of research and narrative operations. The first type of operation answers the question of why the event happened this way and not the other. The second operation is the social description, the narrative of events, the intellectual act of organizing the actual material. According to H. White, this is where the set of ideas and preferences of the researcher begin to work, mainly of a literary and historical nature. Explanations are the main mechanism that becomes the common thread of the narrative. The are implemented through using plot (romantic, satire, comic and tragic) and trope systems – the main stylistic forms of text organization (metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony). The latter decisively influenced for result of the work historians. Historiographical style follows the tropological model, the selection of which is determined by the historian’s individual language practice. When the choice is made, the imagination is ready to create a narrative. Therefore, the historical understanding, according to H. White, can only be tropological. H. White proposes a new methodology for historical research. During the discourse, adequate speech is created to analyze historical phenomena, which the philosopher defines as prefigurative tropological movement. This is how history is revealed through the art of anthropology. Thus, H. White’s tropical history theory offers modern science f meaningful and metatheoretically significant. The structure of concepts on which the classification of historiographical styles can be based and the predictive function of philosophy regarding historical knowledge can be refined.

Abstract Parents who serve as trustees, and solicitors who draft trusts that involve family relations, may need to address whether parents are free to entertain conflicts and benefits that may be attributable to parent status. I discuss in broad terms the kinds of conflicts and benefits that normally should not be objectionable. The definitive consideration is the social definition of when parent access is a limited access.

In social media, users are spreading misinformation easily and without fact checking. In principle, they do not have a malicious intent, but their sharing leads to a socially dangerous diffusion mechanism. The motivations behind this behavior have been linked to a wide variety of social and personal outcomes, but these users are not easily identified. The existing solutions show how the analysis of linguistic signals in social media posts combined with the exploration of network topologies are effective in this field. These applications have some limitations such as focusing solely on the fake news shared and not understanding the typology of the user spreading them. In this paper, we propose a computational approach to extract features from the social media posts of these users to recognize who is a fake news spreader for a given topic. Thanks to the CoAID dataset, we start the analysis with 300 K users engaged on an online micro-blogging platform; then, we enriched the dataset by extending it to a collection of more than 1 M share actions and their associated posts on the platform. The proposed approach processes a batch of Twitter posts authored by users of the CoAID dataset and turns them into a high-dimensional matrix of features, which are then exploited by a deep neural network architecture based on transformers to perform user classification. We prove the effectiveness of our work by comparing the precision, recall, and f1 score of our model with different configurations and with a baseline classifier. We obtained an f1 score of 0.8076, obtaining an improvement from the state-of-the-art by 4%.

Sentiment Analysis/Opinion Mining is associated with social media and usually aims to automatically identify the polarities of different points of views of the users of the social media about different aspects of life. The polarity of a sentiment reflects the point view of its author about a certain issue. This study aims to present a new method to identify the polarity of Arabic reviews and comments whether they are written in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), or one of the Arabic Dialects, and/or include Emoticons. The proposed method is called Detection of Arabic Sentiment Analysis Polarity (DASAP). A modest dataset of Arabic comments, posts, and reviews is collected from Online social network websites (i.e. Facebook, Blogs, YouTube, and Twitter). This dataset is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method (DASAP). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) prediction quality measurements are used to evaluate the effectiveness of DASAP based on the collected dataset.

SYNOPSISOne hundred patients, selected to be representative of those attending general practitioners with non-psychotic psychiatric disorders were followed up for one year. standard assessments of mental state, personality, social stresses and supports were carried out for each patient at the outset and after a year.The outcome for this cohort determined both by the level of psychiatric morbidity at interview after one year and by the pattern of the psychiatric morbidity during the year has been analysed with reference to the assessment measures. Discriminant function analysis indicates that the initial estimate of the severity of the psychiatric morbidity and a rating of the quality of the social life at the time of follow-up are the only factors that significantly predict the psychiatric state after one year. Social measures also predict a pattern of illness charactorized by a rapid recovery after the initial assessemtn. Patients who reported continuous psychiatric morbidity during the year were, older, physically ill and very likely to have recevied psychotropic drugs. Receipt of this medication during the year was associated with initial assessments of abnormality of personality, older age, and a diagnosis of depression.The findings of this study are seen to support a triaxial assessment and classification of non-psychotic psychiatirc disorders, with symptoms, personality and social state being rated independently.

This paper evaluates the keywords and subject areas in records management (RM) publications, as indexed in the Scopus database, with a view to mapping RM research from 1971 to 2018 so as to determine the direction of research in the field. A total of 4 762 documents were obtained from the Scopus database using the term records management and searching within the title, abstract and keywords fields. The data was analysed using VOSviewer software. The findings reveal that interest in RM research has grown as the volume of publications has continued to increase. Whereas there was no dominant area of research in the 1980s, as far as RM research is concerned, the main focus in the 2010s was the management of electronic health records, thereby signalling a shift in RM research from being just an information management exercise to being used for the management of records in the medical and health sector. Other popular research areas in the 2010s were health care, electronic medical record/s, information management, medical computing, information systems, and electronic document exchange. A classification of the RM publications according to Scopus’s broad subject fields revealed that RM research is mainly conducted in computer science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. The study predicts a slow growth in the number of RM publications in the next ten years (2019-2028), greater focus on RM in the health sector, and continued dominance of computer-based systems and electronic records as topics of RM research.

The classification of Russian culture-bound terms used in the novel “Quiet Flows the Don” by M. A. Sholokhov and in its translation into the English language. The novel “Quiet Flows the Don” by M.A. Sholokhov and its translation into English done by Robert Daglish have served as the source for the research of culture-bound terms. These terms have been classified on the basis of the subject division offered by S. Vlakhov and S. Florin. It is proved that the interest to the study of culture-bound terms is still important. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that despite numerous research papers in this field the origin, classification and translation of these terms still need some investigation. The aim of the present study is to classify the culture-bound terms taken from the novel “Quiet Flows the Don” by M.A. Sholokhon and its translation into the English language. As a result, there have bben taken 407 samples of the lexical units with a cultural component which were classified according to the subject principal offered by S. Vlakhon and S. Florin. The culture-bound terms have a great influence on a foreign reader as they are cultural units that transmit the information of the daily routine and the historical epoch described in the novel. The culture-bound terms taken from the novel “Quiet Flows the Don” by M.A. Sholokhov and its translation are analyzed and classified. The division of the culture-bound terms according to the subject principal allowed to reveal that most terms refer to the daily routine, social and political life and military terms.
