Published: June 2023

This research aims to find out how media represent the vaccine news during pandemic. This is related to the use of intensifiers as a measure of the degree of neutrality of news writers. This research is qualitative research supported by the quantification method. The data used is online news about the covid-19 vaccination in January - July 2021. A total of 43.288 words token has been collected online. This research is a corpus-based critical discourse analysis research. Three-Dimensional model by Fairclough is the theory used and applied in this research. The results show that news has the power to control the interpretation of readers and has a direct impact on social conditions. Several strategies were used by the covid-19 vaccination news writers, including the use of amplification (+intensifiers), the use of adjective collocations, and also the use of booster intensifiers. Intensifiers are mostly used to highlight the quality and enhancement of the covid-19 vaccination. This is relevant to the current condition that people are enthusiastic about vaccination programs as a result of media framing, especially news.

Moulded, re-moulded, and pieced together: The origins of Joyce’s Ulysses
Authors: Natali Ilaria
Published: June 2023

Joyce’s subject notebook (MS 36,639/3) at the National Library of Ireland, the earliest available document specifically devoted to Ulysses, contains pre-compositional annotations arranged under twenty subject headings. The notebook offers not only a unique glimpse into ideas for plot and characters that were later abandoned or reconceived, but also precious information about the conceptual frameworks guiding the author’s hand while shaping his novel. In this sense, analysis of the topics “Leopold”, “Stephen”, “Weininger”, and “Jews” is especially useful to reveal some interconnecting threads of Joyce’s imagination.
Esclusi per legge. “Non-eligible voters” come categoria negletta delle democrazie contemporanee
Authors: Tuorto Dario
Published: June 2023

The inclusive nature of the electoral moment (for all adults) is one of the fundamental criteria of the modern democratic process based on universal suffrage (Dahl 2000, 37-8). However, there is always a more or less significant difference between the number of individuals theoretically entitled to vote based on age (VAP, voting-age population) and the number of those who can effectively do so (VEP, voting-eligible population), meaning those who are legally authorized to participate in elections. Although it is lower compared to the United States case (McDonald 2001), where certain social groups are dissuaded from voting due to mandatory registration procedures (Avery and Peffley 2005; Delwin 2013), the gap between different measurements of turnout is also observed in Europe (Geys 2006; Tuorto 2022). This article aims to compare the countries of the EU-27 (+ United Kingdom) regarding the criteria that regulate inclusion/exclusion and the low participation of social groups most susceptible to temporary or permanent limitations in their participation in voting, in relation to specific conditions and/or public behavior. In particular, the article examines the situation of four categories of voters: individuals with psycho-physical disabilities, convicted offenders, non-resident citizens (natives abroad), and non-citizen residents (immigrants). The heterogeneity of situations found within the European common area highlights significant differences on a legislative and cultural level, attributable to dominant social representations and the normative translation of these representations. The systematic alienation or exclusion of certain social groups from elections raises a legitimacy problem for the quintessential moment of exercising democracy, in the presence of legal, administrative, and symbolic barriers that make electoral results imperfect and at least partially distorted.

Sekitar 15% dari populasi global mengalami disabilitas ringan ataupun berat, yang menyebabkan penurunan tingkat produktivitas dalam melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari. Salah satu kegiatan sehari-hari adalah memasak, dimana berbagai tahap proses harus dijalankan untuk dapat menghidangkan suatu masakan; dimana aktivitas tersebut membutuhkan fungsionalitas dari kedua tangan. Tahap persiapan memasak seperti menyiapkan bahan masakan, mengolahnya memakan waktu lebih lama dan aktivitas detail yang berulang; sehingga alat penunjang proses memasak (kitchen utensil) dibuat untuk membantu melakukan aktivitas tersebut. Orang-orang dengan keterbatasan atau disabilitas alat gerak atas tentunya mengalami kesulitan untuk mengerjakan aktivitas memasak, tingkat produktivitas pun juga mengalami penurunan akibat kesulitan dalam melakukan dan menyelesaikan prosesnya. Oleh karena itu beberapa alat masak adaptif dibuat dengan fungsi masing-masing. Untuk alasan ini, sebuah desain dimana populasi untuk penyandang disabilitas dan lansia harus bisa menjadi praktik yang lebih umum dan tidak boleh terbatas hanya pada produk medis dan rehabilitasi, melainkan alat penunjang kegiatan sehari-hari. Dalam studi ini, praktik desain inklusif yang terkait dengan dapur diterapkan. Alat bantu dapur untuk penyandang disabilitas ini digunakan untuk menyiapkan makanan bagi mereka yang hidup dengan disabilitas karena mereka mengalami kesulitan dalam melakukan tindakan seperti memotong dan menyiapkan bahan makanan. Kitchenware berupa preparation board ini dirancang untuk membantu mereka menggunakan gerakan sesedikit mungkin atau untuk membantu mereka dengan sedikit bantuan tambahan. Target user yang diperlukan adalah penyandang keterbatasan fisik lengan, agar dapat memudahkan proses aktivitas diantaranya: memotong, menahan bahan masakan, membuka toples, memarut, dll; sehingga proses memasak dapat dilakukan dengan lebih efisien dan terutama meningkatkan kepercayaan diri seorang penyandang disabilitas pasca trauma dan mampu menjalani activity daily living (IADL) dengan lebih mandiri.
OXIDATIVE PROCESSES IN GRANULOSA CELLS OF COW OVARIAN FOLLICLES AT FOLLICULAR GROWTH
Authors: Bodnar Yu. V. , Kuzmina N. V. , Ostapiv D. D. , Chajkovska O. I. , Ostapiv R. D.
Published: June 2023

Article presents the research results on the respiratory activity and redox capacity of granulose layer cells of cow ovarian follicles under the physiological state of follicular growth. After the slaughter of the cows, the ovaries in physiological state of follicular growth were selected and the size of the follicles was evaluated. Cells of the granulosa layer were aspirated from small (< 4 mm), medium (4–7 mm) and large (> 7 mm) follicles and determined: intensity of oxygen absorption – polarographically, redox capacity – potentiometrically. K3[Fe(CN)6] was used as an extracellular electron acceptor. The share of oxygen consumed by aerobic glycolysis was determined by using sodium fluoride inhibitor, the NAD-dependent link of the mitochondrial electron transport chain - amytal, and the terminal (cytochrome oxidase) – sodium azide. The share of free-radical oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the realization of oxygen was detected by Na2EDTA.

Granulosa cells from the ovary of follicular growth are characterized by respiratory activity and regenerative capacity, the intensity of which depends on the size of the follicles from which they are extracted. The highest values of the investigated indicators are characteristic of cells extracted from large follicles, lower – from small follicles, and the lowest values are from medium follicles. The high intensity of oxidative processes in granulosa from small follicles ensures the growth of oocytes, and from large follicles – maturation of the germ cell in the dominant follicle. At the same time, the increased intensity of oxygen consumption by the cells of small and dominant follicles is manifested against the background of limitations in electron acceptors in the extracellular environment.

The use of inhibitors of ATP resynthesis of both glycolysis and individual links of the mitochondrial respiratory chain testify the activity of the indicated metabolic pathways in granulosa and the possibility of using alternative substrates to ensure the existence of cells. The main way of utilization of oxygen in the granulosa layer cells of small and large follicles is aerobic glycolysis, and from the medium there are alternative ways of supplying and using substrates. The largest flow of reducing equivalents into the extracellular space from the granulosa of a medium-sized follicle due to inhibition of glycolysis indicates that the source of the supply of reducing equivalents into the follicle cavity is glycolysis and this characterizes the dependence of the existence of cells on the indicated metabolic pathway.
BIOLOGICAL ROLE AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF MICROELEMENTS AND VITAMINS IN LIVESTOCK OF ANIMALS
Authors: Velichko V. O.
Published: June 2023

One of the urgent problems of veterinary medicine, especially in modern conditions of wartime, is to increase the vitality of animals, preserve their health and productivity potential. It is important to maintain the vital activity of animals at various stages of their development. Keeping animals in unfavorable conditions, including man-made loads, unbalanced feeding lead to a decrease in their productivity, the occurrence of secondary disorders of a metabolic and functional nature, and a decrease in their non-specific and specific resistance. Under these conditions, the ability of the organism to mobilize protective and adaptive capabilities in response to the action of negative technological and environmental factors becomes especially important. Micronutrients and vitamins play a leading role in mobilizing the body's adaptive capabilities. It should be noted that at the moment, quite a few formulas of mineral-vitamin feed additives have been developed and registered in Ukraine for the correction of rations, which contribute to increasing the productivity and resistance of animals, improving the quality of products - milk and meat.

Science and practice have proven that trace elements and vitamins affect the regulatory systems of the animal body. The mechanism of their pharmacological action is related to the intensity of protein synthesis, under their influence the activity of enzymes of carbohydrate and fat metabolism is regulated, the growth and development of animals are activated. It was also established that microelements perform a protective function of the body by eliminating radical reactions, thereby preventing damage to cell membranes and biological macromolecules.

On the basis of this, it is possible to draw certain conclusions that microelements and vitamins have antioxidant activity, and accordingly increase the activity of the antioxidant protection system. In addition, they perform a number of extremely important biological functions in the body: they not only stimulate the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes, but also have antimicrobial and antifungal effects. And this, in turn, has a complex effect on the quality of products, the consumption of which can be attributed to the rational and preventive nutrition of people.

Published: June 2023

Governments of many countries and professional organizations, including Ukraine, have developed a lot of legislative and regulatory documents and recommendations to tackle the development of acquired antimicrobial resistance, based on the of “One Health” concept. Monitoring the manifestation of acquired antimicrobial resistance and the circulation of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products is one of the keys to solving this problem.

The main goal of this study was to determine the trends in the sales volumes of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products and compare them with the turnover of such products in the EU/EEA member states during 2021.

Since 2015, the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) has taken the lead to build a global interactive automated database on antimicrobial agents ANIMUSE to facilitate countries' reporting, analysis, and interpretation of data. In 2022, Ukraine, like other countries, for the first time submitted an annual sales volumes report of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products online to the global ANIMUSE database on the antimicrobials intended for use in animals (AMU).

As a result of the sales volumes reports of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products analysis for 2021, common trends were revealed in Ukraine and EU/EEA member states regarding the circulation of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products of category D, in particular tetracyclines and penicillins. However, was established an increase in the sales share of aminoglycosides (7.93 %), polymyxins (8.5 %) and fluoroquinolones (10.4 %), and the 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins (0.72 %) in Ukraine, which are classified as categories C and B, the use of which must be reasonable in the absence of alternatives from category D.

Monitoring data of sales volumes does not allow us to assert that all of the sold antimicrobials were used during the reporting period, however, the increase in their share in sales volumes is worrisome following the requirements stated by the “Procedure for the use of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products”, approved by order of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine No. 1177-21 of 12.30.2021.

The article highlights the results of using a feed additive based on spore-forming bacteria of the genus Bacillus when growing broiler chickens. The addition of the studied additive to the diet of chickens in the first group at a dose of 0.5 and to the second group at a dose of 1 g/kg of feed increased the intensity of the bird's growth. In particular, the average daily weight gain of broilers in the experimental groups was, respectively, 11 and 11.8% higher than in the control group.

At the same time, the yield of gutted broiler carcasses in the first and second experimental groups was higher, compared to the control group, by 245 and 275 g, respectively. Under these conditions, in the first experimental group with an average body weight of 2411.1 g, feed consumption during the experimental period was 4310 g/head, while feed conversion was 1.78. In the second experimental group with an average body weight of 2426.9 g, the feed consumption was 4253.3 g/head and the conversion was 1.75, while in the control group with an average body weight of 2178.4 g, the feed consumption was 4433.3 g/head, and the feed conversion was 2.03.

When identifying microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family, in the first research group were found: Escheriсhia coli, Escheriсhia fergusonii, Escheriсhia hermannii, Escheriсhia vulneris, Serratia odorifera; in the second experimental group: Escheriсhia coli, Escheriсhia fergusonii, Serratia odorifera, Kluyvera spp.; and in the control group: Escheriсhia terioteria enorita, Serratia oderofera cloacea, Shigella spp. Microorganisms of the genus Salmonella, and also Campilobacter and C. perfringens on day 42 in broilers of all groups were not detected.

Therefore, the use of a feed additive based on spore-forming bacteria of the genus Bacillus leads to a decrease in feed conversion, an increase in the body weight of birds, and an increase in total and average daily weight gain, compared to the control group. Also was found the positive effect of feed additives on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microflora, while the microflora of the bird is corrected in the direction of an increase in the normal flora and a decrease in pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora.

Published: June 2023

Infectious mastitis of cattle is the most common disease of dairy cattle, which causes significant economic losses due to reduced milk yield and poor milk quality. Etiological agents include a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In the winter or off-season, the main factor in the occurrence of mastitis is the contamination of the mammary gland with pathogenic microflora against the background of hypothermia. Infectious mastitis, as a rule, has a long subclinical form of manifestation and is characterized by the absence of clinical signs against the background of a high level of somatic cells. The occurrence of mastitis is facilitated by the development of pathogenic microorganisms. Due to the qualitative analysis of indicators of milk microflora, the main microorganisms that cause infectious mastitis were identified as S. epidermidis, S. aureus. S. uberis.

During bacteriological studies, pure cultures of staphylococci, streptococci, and enterobacteria were isolated on selective and differential diagnostic media. In milk samples from patients with subclinical mastitis, representatives of the morphological group of fungi and mycoplasma were not isolated. The antibiotic sensitivity of the microflora in the milk samples of sick animals to gentamicin and amoxicillin and the false bactericidal effect to streptomycin, cefazolin, doxycycline and tetracycline, as well as the lack of sensitivity to penicillin, were established.

Published: June 2023

The recipe of mineral-vitamin premix, made on the basis of salts of mineral elements (Cuprum, Zinc, Cobalt, Iodine and Selenium) and fat-soluble vitamins (A and D), which are deficient in the Pre-Carpathian zone, has been developed and its influence on individual metabolic links and productivity of dairy cows has been investigated. The experiment was conducted on two groups of highly productive cows of Simental breed, analogues in origin and productivity in the summer-pasture period of keeping. The main diet for animals of both groups consisted of pasture grass, mowed mass of cereal-bean mixtures of green conveyor, hay cereal-mixed grass, molasses and standard feed K 60-32-89 with premix P 60-5M. The experimental group received a similar amount of this feed, but with an experimental mineral-vitamin premix. It was found that in the herbal-concentrate type of diet in the control group, the deficiency of Cuprum, Zinc, Cobalt, Iodine and Selenium was 16.6, respectively; 13,2; 6,9; 26,2; 51.8%, and the deficiency of vitamins A and D - 60.0 and 16.3%. Introduction of mineral-vitamin premix into the compound feed, which contained salts of the specified elements deficient for the Pre-Carpathians, made it possible to better balance the rations according to the mineral part, which significantly influenced both the intensity of metabolic processes in the rumen and blood, and the milk productivity of cows and the quality of milk. In particular, the positive effect of its feeding on the level of fermentation, the activity of enzyme systems and the intensity of synthetic processes in the rumen of cows of the experimental group was noted. The study of the hematological picture showed a tendency to increase the level of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood of cows of the experimental group, an increase in the concentration of nitrogen fractions and urea (P < 0.01). Analyzing the results of research, it can be argued that ensuring the optimal level of mineral-vitamin nutrition led to an increase in the intensity of metabolic processes in the body of animals and therefore contributed to an increase in dairy productivity.

The average daily yield of natural milk in the experimental group for 90 days of the accounting period was 21.6 kg and was 10.8% higher than in the control (19.5 kg). The chemical composition of milk of cows that received a mineral-vitamin premix as part of the feed was preferable. It showed a probable increase in the content of dry matter, total protein (P < 0.05) and calcium (P < 0.02).

When South Africa is covered in the Swedish media, the focus is often on the history of South Africa, the role of Sweden in theanti-apartheid movement and, in more recent years, the political and socio-economic landscape of postapartheid South Africa, marked by increased wealth gaps, social unrest, and corruption. How South Africa is covered by foreign media is important and politicians, as well as businesses and organisations such as Investment South Africa, Brand South Africa, and South African Tourism, keep a keen eye on the media as a gauge for maintaining diplomatic relations, as well as for attracting foreign investment. As a former journalist who has covered South Africa for Scandinavian media, I have had ample opportunity to ponder and research the media coverage of SouthAfrica and the African continent in the Swedish media, as well as Scandinavian and wider international media. Drawing upon my own experience, as well as an analysis of coverage of South Africa in the Swedish news media, I ask what the image of South Africa isin the Swedish media, how this has changed over the last 30 years and, importantly, what this might mean for South African-Swedish relations?
South Africa-Sweden Relations
Authors: Botha Sven
Published: June 2023

Sweden’s support for the Anti-Apartheid Movement is well documented and has prompted some observers to comment that both states share a “special relationship.” And while some aspects of South Africa-Sweden Post-Apartheid Relations have been interrogated by scholars and covered in the media, a more generic and comprehensive account of South Africa-Sweden Post-Apartheid Relations, as provided in this article and this special issue as a whole, is missing. Using an analytical framework, of the author’s own design, that incorporates social, economic, and political indicators, this paper provides an appraisal of South Africa-Sweden Relations while simultaneously offering a conclusion to the special issue on South Africa-Sweden Relations. This paper argues that the aforementioned framework is necessary to glean a more comprehensive understanding of bilateral relations that the two states share. Furthermore, the rudimentary understanding of South Africa-Sweden Relation provides the foundation for increased research on South Africa-Sweden Relations and Africa-Nordic Relations more broadly.
METAPHORICAL IMAGES OF WALKING IN THE SCOTS DIALECT OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Nadeina L.V. , Pozdeeva G.P. , Shvagrukova E.V.
Published: June 2023

Statement of the problem. The article attempts to explore the semantics of verbs denoting progressive movement in the Scots dialect and to identify the ways of metaphorical modeling of the semantics of walking in the Scottish dialect lexical metaphor. The objectives of the study include the definition of such a group of the dialectical verb metaphorical vocabulary, identification of the parameters by which the creation of a metaphorical image of the progressive type of movement takes place, as well as the description of the sphere of axiological orientation of metaphorical images of this type of movement in the Scottish dialect. Results of the study. The results of the study showed that the class of verbs of progressive motion is the most numerous and most differentiated of all classes of verbs of motion. The work shows not just the study of a certain form of movement, but the identification of those components of semantics in the dialectical verb vocabulary, which are the basis of metaphorical likening of processes and phenomena of different spheres of activity. In the analysis of the verb vocabulary, which in its original nominative meaning represents movement, we not only did the relationship of dialectic verbs of motion with the assessment be investigated, but also determined what additional appraisal meanings they reflect. Conclusion. As part of the study, the authors concluded that since the verbs representing movement on a hard surface were analyzed, the "speed" component is one of the main traits on which metaphorical transfer was based. Therefore, through the image of slow motion metaphorically understands the physiological, emotional, psychological spheres of the person, and the rapid movement, represented not only by fast walking, but also by running, figuratively understands as a characteristic of social phenomena, actions and behavior of a person.
BUSINESS GAME IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING ENGLISH AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Authors: Nekhaeva O.G.
Published: June 2023

Statement of the problem. The article describes the method of the "business game", contributing to the formation of communicative competence which is so necessary in today's business intercultural communication. This study demonstrates how, in the course of learning English, such a method as a business game contributes to the formation of communicative competence, which is so necessary in the conditions of modern business intercultural communication. The article emphasizes that business games play a special role in the development of the English language by students of IT, economics and management majors. Creating situations that are close to the real future professional activity will help graduates of these areas of study in the future, since they are more often than others in a situation of international cooperation, where the opportunity to implement the acquired knowledge and competencies is quite high. The main task of this work was to develop a procedure for conducting pair and group work, to determine the scope of potential cross-cultural dissonance, and to propose specific educational situations presented in the form of business games. Results. The article analyzes the use of the communicative method in the study of the English language to form a certain level of communicative and socio-cultural competencies. The algorithm for preparing and conducting a business game is defined, and the main areas of possible cross-cultural misunderstandings are identified. The advantages of conducting a business game as a method of improving the language, speech and socio-cultural components of communicative competence are described. The business game for economics specialties is considered on the examples of business meetings devoted to the discussion of marketing strategies. For students of the IT sphere, the variants of the business game were used, aimed at obtaining the skills of conducting telephone conversations with the purpose of helping the client to resolve problems. An important result is the possibility to improve the level of proficiency of the necessary professional terminology in English, as well as the use of the proposed training situations in the classroom with students of the program of additional professional education "Translator in the field of professional communication". Conclusion. The formation of communicative and socio-cultural skills in the situation of business intercultural communication is one of the most important strategies of modern teaching of any foreign language. The business game, aimed at creating situations that reflect the modern realities of life, namely, to develop the skills of conducting business meetings, discussions, negotiations and solving specific problems, promotes motivated professional-oriented language learning. The use of a business game in the process of mastering the English language helps to overcome the difficulties that specialists in various fields face in the course of their further professional activities.
TAXIS ACTUALIZERS IN POLISH
Authors: Arkhipova I.V.
Published: June 2023

Problem statement. This article describes the taxis actualizers in the Polish language. These include Polish prepositional deverbatives in combination with taxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics. Results. The statements of the primary and secondary types containing Polish deverbatives in combination with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics are described. In statements of these types, Polish deverbatives act as actualizers of primary-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity, precedence and following, as well as various secondary taxis categorical situations of simultaneity. Monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics act in this case as markers or explicators of primary taxis values of simultaneity, precedence or following and secondary taxis values of simultaneity (causal-taxis, conditional-taxis, final-taxis, concessive-taxis, consecutive-taxis). Conclusion. Polish actional and procedural deverbatives on nie/-cie in combination with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal semantics w, w czasie, podczas, w toku, przed, po, doactualize the primary taxis categorical situations of simultaneity, precedence and following. Polish deverbatives with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of adverbial semantics dla, w celu, celem, z powodu, ze względu, dzięki, z uwagi na, w związku, wskutek, w skutku, skutkiem, na skutek, w wyniku, w efekcie, w rezultacie, mimo, pomimo, wbrew, w razie, w wypadku, w przypadku, do act as actualizers of secondary taxis categorical situations of simultaneity (causal-taxis, conditional-taxis, final-taxis, concessive-taxis, consecutive-taxis).
INTRA- AND EXTRA-WORD NATURE OF THE COMPONENT OF THE PHRASEOLOGICAL UNIT
Authors: Lysenkova V.N.
Published: June 2023

Statement of the problem. The article provides an analysis of the views of researchers on determining the phraseological potential of individual lexical units from the standpoint of verbal and non-verbal approaches. The purpose of the study is to consider the semantics of components of phraseological units (PU) at surface and deep levels. The article discloses the content of the following concepts: the PU component, the intra- and extra-word nature of the component. Results. To become a component of PU, lexeme must go through certain changes: deactualization, metaphorization, lexico-grammatical transformation. These transformations appear not only in the weakening of the connectivity and permeability of the values of the PU component, but also serve as the basis for the emergence of new meanings. The component composition determines the degree of idiomaticity of the entire phraseological unit. The opposite theoretical positions considered in the article regarding the nature of the PU component (intra- and extra-word nature approaches) determine: the leading or stealthy role in constructing the value of the phraseologism depends on the intra- and extra-word nature of the PU components. Conclusion. Understanding the nature of the PU component has a dual essence. On the one hand, the extra-word nature of the PU component separates it from the usual word, depriving it of some independent features. On the other hand, the intra-word character of the PU component can be revealed even with a high degree of semantic integrity of the phraseologism. However, the analysis of the intra- and extra-word nature of the components of PU in most cases does not reveal the direct, but indirect effect of the semantics of the free meaning of the lexeme on the semantics of phraseologism as a whole.
GENDER NEUTRALITY IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: TEACHER TALK AND COURSEBOOKS
Authors: Kolushkina A.I. , Korenev A.A.
Published: June 2023

State of the problem. The article explores the phenomenon of gender neutrality in language education and presents the results of classroom discourse analysis and coursebook content analysis. The purpose of the study is to reveal to what extent teachers of English as a foreign language (L2 teachers) in Russia use gender-neutral language and gender-neutral behaviour strategies in the classroom and how gender neutrality is presented in the English coursebooks (created both by Russian and international authors). The novelty is determined by the fact that this is the first attempt to analyse teacher talk and English coursebook contents in terms of their gender neutrality in the Russian socio-cultural context. Results. Results show that many lessons and coursebooks analysed use some gender-neutral vocabulary and grammar strategies, but contain gender-stereotyping and unequal representation of personalia and case names. The proposed hypothesis that English teachers in Russia use gendered lexical and grammatical means, as well as gender stereotypes in the classroom was validated to a certain extent. The overall result demonstrates that more than 60% of teachers are not gender-neutral. As for the coursebooks, most of them seem to be gender-neutral in terms of grammar, and half of them seem to be gender-neutral in terms of vocabulary. At the same time, 60% of coursebooks contain gender stereotypes and 90% do not represent males and females equally (with male superiority in number). Conclusion. Special guidelines on gender-neutral English in the classroom for English teachers in Russia should be created to provide some recommendations on the use of gender-neutral language and the use of coursebooks. These guidelines should refer to the Russian socio-cultural context and contain all the necessary footnotes for teachers to explain to them the importance of gender neutrality in the English language and to help them to explain the phenomenon to the students, who might experience certain challenges while acquiring the concept of gender neutrality that is only minimally represented in the Russian language.
TAXIS REPRESENTANTS IN THE GERMAN AND DUTCH LANGUAGES
Authors: Arkhipova I.V.
Published: June 2023

Problem statement. The article describes taxis representatives in German and Dutch, which are polypropositive statements with prepositional deverbatives with taxis prepositions of temporal and circumstantial semantics. Results. The statements of two types (primary and secondary) are described, which are the core and peripheral constituents of the functional-semantic subfield of the dependent taxis in the German and Dutch languages. The core constituents include statements of the primary type with taxis prepositions of temporal semantics, while the peripheral constituents should include statements of the secondary type with taxis prepositions of circumstantial semantics. Taxis prepositions of temporal semantics mark the primary taxis semantics of simultaneity and non-simultaneity, and taxis prepositions of circumstantial semantics explicate the secondary taxis semantics of simultaneity. Conclusion. The examined statements of the primary type and of the secondary type are prototypical representatives of both primary-taxis values of simultaneity and non-simultaneity in «pure form», and secondary taxis values of simultaneity, combined with concomitant circumstantial values (conditions, concessions, purpose, mode of action, etc.).
PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF STYLISTICALLY COLORED LINGUISTIC UNITS IN POLITICAL DISCOURSE: ON THE MATERIAL OF V.V. PUTIN'S SPEECHES
Authors: Ghezaili N.
Published: June 2023

Problem statement. In the proposed paper, we subject to a pragmatic analysis the use of stylistically colored linguistic units in the political discourse of the genre of oral speech: based on the material of television speeches (as meeting and interview) of the President of Russia. The study of colored linguistic units within the framework of political discourse is of particular interest, since these units serve the pragmatics of language. Results. Pragmatic information in political discourse is distributed among all linguistic units. However, stylistically colored linguistic units, by which we mean connotatively saturated words, expressions, phraseological units and aphorisms, carry the greatest pragmatic load. They contribute not only to attracting the attention of the addressee, but also to influencing him. Conclusion.Political discourse, representing a specific and complex type of communication, requires a special approach to its study. The role of stylistically colored linguistic units in the realization of the addressee's speech intention in political discourse is huge. In the course of the study, it was stated that the words, expressions, phraseological units and aphorisms used by the President of Russia are generally evaluative, more precisely, ironic (in particular, there is a fairly frequent use of phraseological units (81.81%), and sometimes stylistically reduced words and expressions (6.06%)). This can be explained by the fact that phraseological units, unlike aphorisms, are carriers of lexical meaning and can act as an equivalent of words. In addition, the degree of compatibility of components in phraseological units is not the same, i.e. they may include non-free, but easily separable words, and be used in a figurative sense. Consequently, they are more easily created in the process of speech, contributing to the achievement of the illocutionary goal of the addressee. Nevertheless, phraseological units and aphorisms, as well as stylistically reduced words, due to their expressiveness, contribute not only to attracting the attention of the addressee, but also to influencing him, while producing a certain pragmatic effect.
