Статья посвящена проблемам варьирования норм современного хакасского литературного языка, выявляющимся в процессе работы редакторов с текстами. Справочной литературой, на которую опираются редакторы, являются такие словари хакасского языка, как «Хакасско - русский словарь», «Орфографический словарь хакасского языка». Автор статьи приводит факты наличия словообразовательных вариантов с пересекающимися значениями, которые подаются в словарях как стилистически нейтральные и соответствующие нормам хакасского литературного языка. Выделены также варианты названий одних и тех же понятий, относительно которых пока что не выработаны единые нормы их применения. Обращается внимание на бытование многовариантной записи собственных имен как на хакасском, так и на русском языках. Также привлекается внимание к проблеме отражения на письме долгих гласных хакасского языка. The article is devoted to the problems of varying the norms of the modern Khakass literary language, which are revealed in the process of editors' work with texts. The reference literature that the editors rely on is such dictionaries of the Khakass language as the Khakass - Russian Dictionary and the Spelling Dictionary of the Khakass Language. The author of the article presents the facts of the presence of word - forming variants with overlapping meanings, which are presented in dictionaries as stylistically neutral and corresponding to the norms of the Khakass literary language. There are also variants of the names of the same concepts, for which no uniform rules for their application have yet been developed. Attention is drawn to the existence of multivariate writing of proper names in both Khakass and Russian languages. Attention is also drawn to the problem of reflecting the long vowels of the Khakass language in writing.

This article provides an overview of multiple equivalence presentations in "Polish-Russian Dictionary of Translation Pairs" ("Polsko-rosyjski słownik par przekładowych") edited by Wojciech Chlebda, which provides more than one Russian equivalent for a Polish lexical item. The uniqueness of the dictionary is in its arrangement that is re-product functioning as a dictionary entry, which determines its choice for analysis. "Re-product" is understood as a single-word or multi-word reproducible language item assigned to specific communicative situations. Such a broad definition allowed including a wide variety of items – from single words, through fixed phrases, proper names, titles of literary works and films, popular expressions, proverbs and sayings, scientific terms, linguistic etiquette formulas – into the lexicographical edition under analysis. In the course of the dictionary content multi-aspectual analysis it became evident that its input item arrangement is based on multiple equivalence; moreover, the dictionary provides meticulously selected equivalents, meeting at the same time the main conceptual requirement related to the use of the collected material for the purposes of teaching Russian. However, the analysis also revealed certain shortcomings to light, pointing to the need for a more precise gradation of equivalents and more accurate use of qualifiers, and requirement to provide some translation pairs with additional equivalents. In single cases, other (than those included in the dictionary) Russian equivalents were suggested.

The lexicographic activity of Ivan Kotlyarevsky, the founder of the new Ukrainian literary language, has constantly attracted and attracted the attention of researchers. The further in time his figure moves away from us, the more noticeable is his influence on the present. In the field of linguistic interests, the most prominent place is the issue of selection and extension of lexical and phraseological means, syntactic constructions of the author of “Aeneid”. Less attention is given to the research of I. Kotlyarevsky's work as a lexicographer – the founder and sponsor of the author's lexicography. The article attempts to trace the impact on the following Ukrainian lexicographic works of the Dictionary of the Lesser Russian words contained in “Aeneid” and many other Little Russians used for the fourth part of I. Kotlyarevsky. Small in size (1,125 words) and composed mainly to the text of the one work (“Aeneids”), Kotlyarevsky's dictionary is valuable both as the first Ukrainian-Russian dictionary with a vocabulary register of the new Ukrainian literary language, and as a model for compilling similar dictionaries in different editions. The lexical and phraseological units, attested in the annex to the “Aeneid” in 1809, are traced to the presence in the following Ukrainian lexicographic works of the 19th – beginning of the 21st centuries. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of Ivan Kotlyarevsky as the originator of Ukrainian author's lexicography in connection with the creation of the vocabulary of the creative personality language.

The article in a comparative aspect describes the main prescriptive methods of the “Dictionary of the Ukrainian language” edited by Borys Grinchenko (1907–1909) and the most well-known codes of the new Belarusian literary language of the first half of the 20th century: “Belarusian-Russian Dictionary” by M. Baikov and S. Nekrashevich (1925) and “Russian-Belarusian Dictionary” by S. Nekrashevich and M. Baikov (1928). It is stated that the “Dictionary of the Ukrainian language” edited by Borys Grinchenko differs in his prescriptive methods from the Belarusian codes under consideration, in many respects it is more thoroughly and thoroughly thought out. In the dictionary edited by Borys Grinchenko describes the variability and synonymy of units better than in the considered Belarusian ones. Comparison of the specifics of the descriptions of the Ukrainian and Belarusian dictionaries of the 20th century will help identify the characteristic features of the tradition of lexicographical description of vocabulary in two national schools, show ways of establishing prescriptive linguistics of Belarus and Ukraine in the specified period.


Our understanding of Anglophone modernism has been transformed by recent critical interest in translation. The central place of translation in the circulation of aesthetic and political ideas in the early twentieth century has been underlined, for example, as well as translation’s place in the creative and poetic dynamics of key modernist texts. This volume of Katherine Mansfield Studies offers a timely assessment of Mansfield’s place in such exchanges. As a reviewer, she developed a specific interest in literatures in translation, as well as showing a keen awareness of the translator’s presence in the text. Throughout her life, Mansfield engaged with new literary texts through translation, either translating proficiently herself, or working alongside a co-translator to explore the semantic and stylistic challenges of partially known languages. The metaphorical resonances of translating, transition and marginality also remain key features of her writing throughout her life. Meanwhile, her enduring popularity abroad is ensured by translations of her works, all of which reveal sociological and even ideological agendas of their own, an inevitable reflection of individual translators’ readings of her works, and the literary traditions of the new country and language of reception. The contributions to this volume refine and extend our appreciation of her specifically trans-linguistic and trans-literary lives. They illuminate the specific and more general influences of translation on Mansfield’s evolving technique and, jointly, they reveal the importance of translation on her literary language, as well as for her own particular brand of modernism.

This paper discusses the formation of synthetic compounds with proper names. While these are possible in English, Greek disallows such formations. However, earlier stages of the language allowed such compounds, and in the modern language formations of this type are possible as long as they contain heads that are either bound roots or root- derived nominals of Classical Greek origin. The paper builds on the following ingredients: a) proper names are phrases; b) synthetic compounding in Modern Greek involves incorporation, and thus proper names cannot incorporate; c) by contrast, English synthetic compounds involve phrasal movement, and thus proper names can appear within compounds in this language. It is shown that in earlier Greek, proper names had the same status as their English counterparts, hence the possibility of synthetic compounds with proper names. It is further argued that the formations that involve bound/archaic roots are actually cases of either root compounding or root affixation and not synthetic compounds.

The article is devoted to the study of personal names from a cognitive point of view. The study is based on the cognitive concept that speech actually exists not in the speech, not in linguistic writings and dictionaries, but in consciousness, in the mental lexicon, in the language of the brain. The conditions for identifying personal names can encompass not only the context, encyclopedias, and reference books, but also the sound form of the word. In the communicative process, during a free associative experiment, which included a name and a recipient’s mental lexicon. The recipient was assigned a task to quickly give some association to the name. The aggregate of a certain number of reactions of different recipients forms the associative field of a proper name. The associative experiment creates the best conditions for identifying the lexeme. The definition of a monosemantic personal name primarily includes the search of what it denotes, while during the process of identifying a polysemantic personal name recipients tend have different reactions. Scientific value is posed by the effect of the choice of letters for the name, sound symbolism, etc. The following belong to the generalized forms of identification: usage of a hyperonym; synonyms and periphrases or simple descriptions; associations denoting the whole (name stimulus) by reference to its part (associatives); cognitive structures such as “stimulus — association” and “whole (stimulus) — part (associative)”; lack of adjacency; mysterious associations. The topicality of the study is determined by its perspective to identify the directions of associative identification of proper names, which is one of the branches of cognitive onomastics. The purpose of the study is to identify, review, and highlight the directions of associative identification of proper names; the object of the research is the names in their entirety and variety; its subject is the existence of names in the mental lexicon, which determines the need for singling out the directions for the associative identification of the personal names.

The article deals with the phonetic, grammatic and lexical features which penetrated into the London Dialect from the Middle English Northern and North-Eastern dialects and evenyually were fixed in the literary language. The article claims that the penetration of the Northern features took place as the result of the London dialect base shift which took place due to the extralinguistic reasons, namely by social and demographic reasons. The article describes both direct influence (lexical) and indirect (partially phonetic and partially grammatic). The article claims that systemic changes in English, such as reduction of unstressed syllables and concequent simplification of grammatical paradigms were greatly fascilitated by the influence of Northern dialects on the London dialect in Late Middle English period
