A HOUSE AND NOTIONS OF IT IN RUSSIAN FOLK WEDDING SPEECHES

In this work, a list of the house nominations, stylistic and poetic means and techniques used to describe the groom’s and bride’s houses are considered based on published and archival materials of the 19th — early 21st centuries. The description of the newlyweds’ houses is formed by depicting three macrolocuses: the adjacent territory, or courtyard; the zone connecting the courtyard with the interior of the dwelling (porch, door, threshold) and the interior of the house, the image of which is formed by sequentially naming the loci that are most significant from the ritual viewpoint (place of honor, wide bench, furnace, etc.). The houses of both the groom and the bride are described using the very same poetic means of the ‘house’ semantic group. The concept of the bride’s house as a “strange” space for the groom’s party is manifested in speeches related to climbing the porch, opening doors, crossing the threshold and entrance. As the groomsman progresses and claims the house territory, the sense of the house as “strange” intensifies, reaches a critical point at the moment of crossing the threshold and declines after the entrance to the house. The dynamics of the groomsman’s image is revealed in speeches emphasizing the crossing of the threshold. The entrance of the best man to the house is interpreted as a case of crossing the boundary: penetration of the “strange” space is accompanied by a deterioration in vision, the onset of limpness and muteness, being marked, losing clothes or shoes, and giving away material values (money). As he claims the “strange” space and transcodes it into “own space,” the temporary physical indisposition of the groomsman passes. The courtyard, staircase, steps, porch, and threshold are regularly depicted in the descriptions of houses and adjacent territory. The most frequent epithets arewide andnew. Numerous diminutives are another feature of the texts that describe the house.

Joints Properties of Aluminum Foams/Aluminum Plate by Transient Liquid Phase Bonding Process

Aluminum foams/aluminum plate was transient liquid phase diffusion bonded with Cu/Al/Cu composite interlayer, then the investigation on joint microstructure, element diffusion and joint strength was conducted at 565°C. The results showed that, there was a significant grain boundary penetration phenomenon near the interface and it was more seriously at the side of aluminum foams. The XRD results showed indicated that the main phases near the interface were α-Al, CuAl2, AlCu, Al4Cu9, Al2O3. By EDS line scanning, it indicated that the diffusion behavior of elements was different at three regions, compared with the edge region, the interface of the central region was better and the depth of element diffusion is larger, at the pore region, the liquefaction of interlayer was not successfully and the morphology was lamellar. Mechanical properties test showed that the largest shear strength of joint was 4.61 MPa when the duration was 40 min. Key words: Aluminum foams; transient liquid phase bonding; microstructure; element diffusion; shear strength

Vacuum Brazing of GH2132 Superalloy Using BNi-2+BNi-5 Composite Filler

In order to overcome the over formed intermetallic compound and the grain boundary penetration phenomenon in superalloys brazed joint using BNi-2 filler, the three variable portion of BNi2+BNi-5 composite filler is used to vacuum braze GH2132 superalloy. The results showed that the addition of BNi5 filler can decrease the formation of intermetallic compounds. For composite brazing filler of BNi2+40%BNi5, the brazing seam mainly composes of solid solution phase. The amounts of intermetallic compounds increased with the increase of brazing temperature and brazing clearance. The microhardness of the intermetallic compound is about 380~400 HV which is detrimental to the mechanical properties of the brazing joint.
