AbstractJeffery et al. accurately identify the importance of developing an understanding of spatial reference frames in a three-dimensional world. We examine human spatial cognition via a unique paradigm that investigates the role of saliency and adjusting reference frames. This includes work with adults, typically developing children, and children who develop non-typically (e.g., those with autism).

The study tested the semiotic approach to the system of evaluation marks allocated on the basis of pragmatic function. Traditional triad - semantics, syntactics, pragmatics - is accompanied by sigmatech as a branch of semiotics, determining the relationship between sign and object, which has not been properly studied yet. The system of evaluation of signs - function, connotation, pragmem, their functional and semantic differences are described through the prism of the semantic structure of the word influenced by the pragmatic function. Non-standard character of pragmatic mark is denotative-significative, expressing the nature convoluted judgment is focused on the subject of speech and its axiological intentions. The article demonstrates semantic, syntactic and pragmatic nature of Prameny sign evaluation with special feaches of its semiotic nature. Three types of evaluation signs - functions, connotations, pragmem -are compared and the role of pragmem in the system is defined. The leading role of pragmem in the axiological fragment of the linguistic picture of the world is determined.

This paper analyses the construction of deverbal adjectives in European Portuguese, focusing on the interface between morphology and semantics, specifically on the role of Thematic Hierarchy and Semantic Prominence on affixal selection.Supported by paradigmatic morphology, the paper shows that suffixes that work in macro-paradigms of deverbal adjectives establish a relationship with specific semantic features of the lexical-semantic structure of the base verb in order to construct the derivative. The analysis concludes that suffixes are sensitive to thematic hierarchy, which is based on the semantic prominence of features of the verbs’ theta-roles at work in the paradigm. Data from psych verbs is highly relevant to this finding.The paper is dedicated to Professor Ana Maria Brito, who has always been keenly aware that scientific knowledge is not confined to a specific theory.


The article reveals the Intermedia aspects of the collection of V. Symonenko "Silence and thunder", in particular, the incorporation of cinematic elements. The relevance of the topic, its relationship with previous research are proven. The emphasis on the fact that in the sixties of the XX century in Ukraine the rapid development of all kinds of arts caused art diffusion.

Particular attention is paid to the features of portraiture in the collection, portraits are shown in dynamics. The role of the eyes in the dynamic image is emphasized. The cinematic elements in the intimate lyrics of the collection Silence and Thunder are considered.On the basis of observations on literary clips of V. Symonenko a number of conclusions are made. Mini-movies of collection based on peasant subjects at least for two reasons. First, the poet himself is a native of the village, and secondly, there is the influence of Soviet cinema about the village. Obviously, the author proves that the topic of the village can be a ground for broad generalizations. The cinematic material is most often the basis for the author's thoughts, so some of the poems of the book "Silence and thunder" resemble the structure of the fable. Using cinematic elements, the poet emotionally claims his stance, moralize, makes philosophical insights. Literature clips in the book combines the realistic and neo-romantic beginning. Neo-romantic intentions especially filled with footage that cannot be removed through the resources of traditional cinema, need animated effects.

The article deals with the phonostylistic and semantic features of acoustic images in the early realist stories of Alexander Grin. The conclusion is made about their important compositional role. Attention is focused on vocabulary with acoustic semantics, as well as onomatopoeia understood as the imitation of both the sound and its meaning. The functions of sound polyphony in the depicting of landscapes and emotional states and in the plot structure are discussed. The role of alliteration, the temporal characteristics of acoustic images, a combination of autologous and associative images, and variable functionality of remarks in dialogs are described. The prosodic features of the narrative are analyzed. The motifs of silence and music and their role in the semantic structure of Grin’s stories are noted.
