The cognitive features of imperative utterances in the modern Kyrgyz language have been investigated. As you know, the imperative has two different meanings: one means urgency, necessity and importance, and the other - attempts to influence the actions of other people. Imperative means something extremely important or necessary. It also means order. The analyzed imperative statements are considered in the mainstream of conceptual grammar, which allows you to highlight syntactic concepts, or mental images that stand behind linguistic signs and are reflected in the analyzed syntactic structures. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe imperative utterances in the Kyrgyz language, to reveal the mechanisms for changing the prototypical meaning of the verb lexicon in the structure of the imperative using theories such as the theory of functional styles, the theory of discourse, the theory of speech acts and the theory of grammar of constructions. The relevance of the article is due to the need to study the semantic features of the imperative statements of the modern Kyrgyz language. The purpose of this work is to show the features of imperatives, to carefully study the types and functions of imperatives in the Kyrgyz language. The data were analyzed using a comparative analysis to find out the differences and similarities of the imperatives of the Kyrgyz language with other languages. The study belongs to qualitative research, as it was conducted using the method of contrast analysis as a comparison of languages. The object of the research is the data imperatives were taken from the sources that were needed for the research.

The age of new technology is fraught with contradictions, engagement and communications that the customer with the crisis of meaning and absurdity that stems from obedience and consumption. And in the same vein, authenticity, which Katler considers to be the most effective element in this era, in order to achieve a sustainable development and response to the psychological adventures of the customer, which he calls the human soul. Also, the efforts of brands to maintain and develop their own beliefs and philosophies have made it necessary to study the concept of authentic marketing. And, on the other hand, the study of its interaction with the pragmatic marketing, which is a response to the material needs of the client, is necessary, therefore, their consequences can be the answer to the theoretical vacuum of marketing science to solve customer's contradictions in the new paradigmatic shift. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and uses the method of qualitative research in the form of the Structural Foundation data theory. Methods of collecting data is through in-depth interviews and observing. Eventually, data were analyzed using the principles related to underlying theory (open and selective coding, continuous comparative analysis, creation of concepts and compilations). Finally, this study suggests that changing marketing paradigm to solve the problems of new age for authentic brand production.

Especially from the viewpoint of one who translates texts from one language into another, it is obvious that interlinguistic one-to-one correspondences of lexical words are rather hard to find. The first and foremost circumstance that accounts for this phenomenon is that speakers of different languages conceptualize reality in different ways. Even if one subscribes to the hypothesis that there is a universal stock of semantic features by means of which designata can be analysed, it remains true that languages differ considerably with regard to which features their speakers consider relevant to situations, and which not. Thus seemingly corresponding words may have different designata, to the degree that translation requires a clear contextual setting according to which equivalence relationships can be established. Polysemy, hyponymy and synonymy have largely differing distributions even in affiliated languages. A polysemous SL lexeme may require the coice of a TL lexeme which is not its immediate correspondent according to the bilingual dictionary. Conceptual synonyms (or, rather, quasi-synonyms) should be dealt with suspiciously, since differences in connotation, mode or register may necessitate the use of one term to the exclusion of the other. Even semantically equivalent terms may show different grammatical behaviours in SL and TL in that, for example, the TL imposes selection restrictions on a given term which do not apply to its correspondent term in the SL. Further complications may derive from collocational differences between languages. Finally, quite a lot of interlinguistic lexical anisomorphy, is due to differences in culture and social conventions - even to the extent that semantically and pragmatically corresponding expressions take on astonishingly deviant forms. In order that they may account for these differences translation didactics as well as foreign language teaching can rely on models which have been elaborated by certain present-day disciplines whose concern is the study of linguistic phenomena. Thus componential analysis still provides a sound basis for comparative lexical analysis, while the theory of speech acts and Permyako's 'paremiological model' explain how semantic and pragmatic invariance goes hand in hand with socio-cultural variability.

Much is written about how criminal suspects, defendants, and undercover targets use ambiguous language in their interactions with police, prosecutors, and undercover agents. This book examines the other side of the coin, describing fifteen criminal investigations demonstrating how police, prosecutors, undercover agents, and complainants use deceptive ambiguity with their subjects, which leads to misrepresentations of the speech events, schemas, agendas, speech acts, lexicon, and grammar. These misrepresentations affect the perceptions of judges and juries about the subjects’ motives, predispositions, intentions, and voluntariness. Deception is commonly considered intentional while ambiguity is often excused as unintentional performance errors. Although perhaps overreliance on Grice’s maxim of sincerity leads some to believe this, interactions of suspects, defendants, and targets with representatives of law are adversarial, non-cooperative events that enable participants to ignore or violate the cooperative principle. One effective way the government does this is to use ambiguity deceptively. Later listeners to the recordings of such conversations may not recognize this ambiguity and react in ways that the subjects may not have intended. Deceptive ambiguity is clearly intentional in undercover operations and the case examples illustrate that the practice also is alive and well in police interviews and prosecutorial questioning. The book concludes with a summary of how the deceptive ambiguity used by representatives of the government affected the perception of the subjects’ predisposition, intentionality and voluntariness, followed by a comparison of the relative frequency of deceptive ambiguity used by the government in its representations of speech events, schemas, agendas, speech acts, lexicon, and grammar.

This chapter revisits trade-offs that qualitative researchers face when balancing the different expectations of area studies and disciplinary audiences. One putative solution to such trade-offs, mixed-method research, emphasizes the triangulation of quantitative and qualitative methods. CAS, as defined above, essentially encourages a different form of triangulation—the pooling of observations and interpretations across a wider array of cases spanning multiple areas. This kind of triangulation can be facilitated by cross-regional contextualized comparison, a middle-range approach that stands between area-bound qualitative research and (Millean) macro-comparative analysis that brackets out context in search of causal laws. Importantly, this approach relies upon an area specialist’s sensibilities and experience to generate awareness of local complexities and context conditions for less familiar cases. The examples of cross-regional contextualized comparison considered in this chapter collectively demonstrate that engagement with area studies scholarship and the pursuit of disciplinary knowledge can be a positive-sum game.
