Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Centralized drug repositories can reduce adverse events and inappropriate prescriptions by enabling access to dispensed medication data at the point of care; however, how they achieve this goal is largely unknown.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to understand the perceived clinical value; the barriers to and enablers of adoption; and the clinician groups for which a provincial, centralized drug repository may provide the most benefit.

METHODS

A mixed methods approach, including a web-based survey and semistructured interviews, was used. Participants were clinicians (eg, nurses, physicians, and pharmacists) in Ontario who were eligible to use the digital health drug repository (DHDR), irrespective of actual use. Survey data were ranked on a 7-point adjectival scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, and interviews were analyzed using qualitative descriptions.

RESULTS

Of the 161 survey respondents, only 40 (24.8%) actively used the DHDR. Perceptions of the utility of the DHDR were neutral (mean scores ranged from 4.11 to 4.76). Of the 75.2% (121/161) who did not use the DHDR, 97.5% (118/121) rated access to medication information (eg, dose, strength, and frequency) as important. Reasons for not using the DHDR included the cumbersome access process and the perception that available data were incomplete or inaccurate. Of the 33 interviews completed, 26 (79%) were active DHDR users. The DHDR was a satisfactory source of secondary information; however, the absence of medication instructions and prescribed medications (which were not dispensed) limited its ability to provide a comprehensive profile to meaningfully support clinical decision-making.

CONCLUSIONS

Digital drug repositories must be adjusted to align with the clinician’s needs to provide value. Ensuring integration with point-of-care systems, comprehensive clinical data, and streamlined onboarding processes would optimize clinically meaningful use. The electronic provision of accessible drug information to providers across health care settings has the potential to improve efficiency and reduce medication errors.

Published: January 2021

New N-(5-R-benzyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-morpholin-4-yl-2-oxoacetamides have been prepared in good yields via the reaction of N-(5-R-benzyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-chloroacetamides with sulfur and morfoline. These compounds react with ethendiamine to form a series of novel N-[5-R-benzyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-carboxamides with excellent yields. Anticancer activity screening of synthesized compounds was carried out within the framework of the Developmental Therapeutic Program of the National Cancer Institute's (DTP, NCI, Bethesda, Maryland, USA). It was shown that compounds are promising for new anticancer agents' search.

Genome mining study showed that marine-derived Streptomyces sp. GMY01 is a potential actinobacteria with abundant of secondary metabolite and anticancer activity. The study aimed to evaluate bioassay guided fractionation for antiplasmodial screening of GMY01 extract and to predict compound on active fractions. Ethyl acetate fraction was obtained from 11 days fermentation product of GMY01 and then it was fractionated using n-hexane and methanol solvent. Refractionated was applied using flash chromatography and column chromatography. Antiplasmodial assay was performed on Plasmodium falciparum FCR3 by microscopic method using thin blood smear + Giemsa stain, and flow cytometry method using SYBR Green I stain. Toxicity assay was performed on Vero cells line. Main constituent of active fraction was analyzed using LCMS/MS. The result of the study showed that ethyl acetate-methanol fraction has high antiplasmodial activity (IC50=3.96 µg/mL) with very low toxicity on Vero cells (IC50=30,072 µg/mL). Bioassay guided fractionation resulted F4.7 as highest Plasmodium inhibition (94.3% at 5 µg/mL) and was confirmed by microscopic and flow cytometry assay. Main constituent analysis showed C10H13NO (163.09971 Da) as mayor compound and predicted as nonribosomal polyketide synthetase (NRPS) secondary metabolite.

Published: January 2021

Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant most-commonly prescribed for prevention and treatment of thromboembolism. It is widely acknowledged that warfarin has both narrow therapeutic index and various drug-food interactions, thus carrying the risk of subtherapeutic or bleeding. Therefore, warfarin is among the priority drugs to be evaluated to improve the quality of care for warfarin use. This study aimed to analyze the indications and dosage as well as the bleeding incidence in warfarin use at secondary hospitals in Yogyakarta. This research employed the retrospective cross-sectional design among outpatients and inpatients who received warfarin for a minimum of three days. Data of patient demographics, indications and doses of warfarin, incidence of bleeding, and other drugs interacting with warfarin were collected from the medical records for two years of research. The bleeding incidence could include conjunctival bleeding, melena, hematemesis, petechiae, purpura, ecchymosis, or hematochezia as was documented in the medical records. The research involved 139 patients with a majority of male patients and age range of >60 years. The three highest indications of warfarin use were CHF (37.41%), CHF-AF (23.74%), and AF (10.79%) with an average dose of 1.83±0.54 mg/day. Despite the administration of low doses of warfarin, four patients (2.90%) experienced bleeding with hematuria as the main clinical manifestation. This study recommends adjusting to a lower warfarin dose, particularly for the elderly who receive a combination with aspirin. In addition to a lower maintenance dose, a lower therapeutic target of INR should be further verified for Indonesian patients who receive warfarin.

Gas pollutants that accumulate in the room with restricted air circulation may cause respiratory system disorders. A pregnane glycoside compound from Sansevieria can reduce the pollutants. This study aims at producing gels from Sansevieria extract to neutralize indoor gas pollutants. Sansevieria extract is produced by the maceration process with composition 8 g simplicia and 100 ml ethanol 96%. The extract was processed into the gel with a 20% concentration. The gel was applied to rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain induced by cigarette, coal, and mosquito smoke with positive control and treatment groups. After 8 days, the Gross examination and histopathology of lungs and liver were observed quantitatively. MDA levels were measured with the TBARS method. Data were analyzed by independent sample T-test and Mann-Whitney test with p-value considered significant if <0,05. Gross examination of lungs showed a significant difference between the treatment and control group that was induced by coal smoke (p=0.031), and mosquito smoke (p=0.006), and the liver’s gross of cigarette smoke (p=0.040). Histopathology of lungs showed a significant difference in mosquito smoke (p=0.032) and no significant difference in histopathology of the liver. MDA levels showed significant difference in coal smoke (p=0.020) and mosquito smoke (p=0.000). In conclusion, anti pollutant gel reduces MDA levels and damage of the lungs induced by pollutants.

Background and objectives

Pre-emptive kidney transplantation is advocated as best practice for children with kidney failure who are transplant eligible; however, it is limited by late presentation. We aimed to determine whether socioeconomic deprivation and/or geographic location (distance to the center and rural/urban residence) are associated with late presentation, and to what degree these factors could explain differences in accessing pre-emptive transplantation.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

A cohort study using prospectively collected United Kingdom Renal Registry and National Health Service Blood and Transplant data from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2016 was performed. We included children aged >3 months to ≤16 years at the start of KRT. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine associations between the above exposures and our outcomes: late presentation (defined as starting KRT within 90 days of first nephrology review) and pre-emptive transplantation, with a priori specified covariates.

Results

Analysis was performed on 2160 children (41% females), with a median age of 3.8 years (interquartile range, 0.2–9.9 years) at first nephrology review. Excluding missing data, 478 were late presenters (24%); 565 (26%) underwent pre-emptive transplantation, none of whom were late presenting. No association was seen between distance or socioeconomic deprivation with late presentation, in crude or adjusted analyses. Excluding late presenters, greater area affluence was associated with higher odds of pre-emptive transplantation, (odds ratio, 1.20 per quintile greater affluence; 95% confidence interval, 1.10 to 1.31), with children of South Asian (odds ratio, 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.36 to 0.76) or Black ethnicity (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.12 to 0.80) less likely to receive one. A longer distance to the center was associated with pre-emptive transplantation on crude analyses; however, this relationship was attenuated (odds ratio, 1.02 per 10 km; 95% confidence interval, 0.99 to 1.05) in the multivariable model.

Conclusions

Socioeconomic deprivation or geographic location are not associated with late presentation in children in the United Kingdom. Geographic location was not independently associated with pre-emptive transplantation; however, children from more affluent areas were more likely to receive a pre-emptive transplant.

Published: January 2021

In this article, the notion of communicative competence is defined and structured. In order to successfully develop some of the subcompetences that constitute the communicative competence, it is necessary to study culture codes. The concept of culture code is defined, and its classification is provided from the point of view of linguoculturology. The results of an association experiment performed among the students of the 6th and 9th grades show the peculiarities of how certain animalistic images are reflected in children’s minds, which helps to get the general idea of their worldview. The English and the Russian linguistic worldviews are compared on the material of phraseological units containing zoonym components volk (wolf) and ovtsa (sheep). Methods of teaching are suggested, and the authors conclude that acquisition of the animalistic code and other culture codes by ESL students is a promising means of foreign language communicative competence formation.

Authors:   TATIANA V. SHUISKAYA  Amur State University, Shuiskaya Tatiana V.
Published: January 2021

The way children acquire syllable structure of words characterizes the level of their speech development. It is assumed that 3=year=olds without any disorders do not have any difficulties with constructing syllables. The current paper describes the results of an acoustic study of word syllable structure in the speech of twenty Russian 3=year=old subjects. 75% of them demonstrated from 3 to 7 syllable structure changes. The maximum of 13,2% of the total of 53 words were characterized by those changes. There were examples of word-initial single-consonant elision, syllable elision, syllable transposition, sounds transposition, insertions of hard and soft forelingual /l/ and /lʲ/ into a syllable, and anticipation. Consonant cluster reduction was also noticed; it did not change the number of syllables in words. Clusters that were more and less resistant to reduction were determined.
PHRASEOLOGICAL SYNONYMY AS A METHOD OF REFLECTING REALITY IN NATIONAL LANGUAGES
Authors:   Tatyana Yu. Zalavina Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University, Zalavina Tatyana Yu.
Published: January 2021

This article presents an analytic study of phraseological synonymy as one of the methods of reflecting the surrounding reality in the language worldview in national languages. The ability of phraseological units to form synonymic series is demonstrated on the example of the verbal phraseological units objectifying the concept of «blame» in the French language. The main criteria for synonymy of the considered phraseological units are belonging to the same grammatical category and the presence of the same set of basic semantic components. The following types of phraseological synonyms embodying the concept of BLAME were found: verbal phraseological units which differ in lexical composition but have a similar syntactic structure; verbal phraseological units with a similar syntactic structure and a common lexical component.

Published: January 2021

Lexical level of a language is represented by authentic words and a number of loanwords from other languages. The present article focuses upon the Arabisms and the history of their appearance in the Russian language. The material for the study were etymological dictionaries. The result of the analysis enabled to compile a list of the indirect Arabisms consisting of 41 units for which it was possible to trace the stages of their introduction into Russian; these units were further sorted into subject groups. It was found that that introduction had occurred via Turkish, Latin, French, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish reflecting economic, political and cultural interaction of Russia with those countries. The sources of a number of Arabisms are still arguable and need further research.

Published: January 2021

The current article aims to analyze migration discourse as the main object for studies performed in the new direction in linguistics - migration linguistics. The relevance of migration discourse research is determined by rapidly growing migration flows. Migration affects all spheres of human activities and it is the cause of language conflict aggravation and increase of verbal aggression, which detrimental consequences cannot be managed only by political or legal measures. This leads to an increase in the level of intolerance, xenophobia and migrant-phobia in society. The results obtained during this study enabled to design the model of migration discourse with the goal to present it as a special type of discourse through its genre model and its modules.

Published: January 2021

The current paper has several aims: on the one hand, it is meant to determine the principles for selecting language material for experimental phonetic research of prosodic means to express emotions, on the other hand it applies the results of this study (i) to determine the place of emotive intonation patterns in the Russian intonation system, (ii) to provide enough ground for identifying 3 aspects of emotive function of intonation: communicative-emotive, emotive-differentiating and form-building. I argue that, first, the focus of the corresponding phonetic studies should be emotive utterances that present a separate utterance communicative type but not emotionally colored statements, interrogative or imperative sentences, and second, that there are definite principles to differentiate between them. The paper provides a detailed description of the experimental material used in this study of emotive utterances intonation including 134 text samples containing emotive utterances of 18 structural types pronounced by 11 native Russian speakers...
V. A. ZHUKOVSKY AND V. V. NABOKOV ABOUT THE GENIUS OF PURE BEAUTY
Authors:   Irina V. Trufanova Moscow Center for Human Resources Development in Education, Trufanova Irina V.
Published: January 2021

The present paper aims to trace the history of the expression “the genius of pure beauty” introduced by V. A. Zhukovsky and its use in V. V. Nabokov’s lyrics. The method of intertextual analysis is used to reveal how V. V. Nabokov developed the concept created by V. A. Zhukovsky. In his verses, the expression “pure beauty” appears once in the meaning of deity. Among all features of “the genius of pure beauty” concept and attributes accompanying this phenomenon in Zhukovsky’s lyrics, for Nabokov, the wings and the flight in the sky turn out the most relevant ones. Other features were subjected to transformation. As a result, light turns into fire, flame, swelling lava, ardent heat, thunder and lightning, the sounds of harp - into the ones of flute or into ringing or rumble. Portraying the meeting with the genius of pure beauty, Nabokov is incomparably more expressive than Zhukovsky. The genius of pure beauty not only lifts the veil over beauty but gives birth to new life. Therefore, beauty for Nabokov is not an aesthetic category but an ontological one.
VARIABILITY OF THE ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH THE COMPONENT GET IN THE BASIC STRUCTURAL PATTERNS

Published: January 2021

The article considers the issue of variability of phraseological units (PU) component structure including the functionally leading component get and representing, according to A. V. Kunin’s classification, two most widespread three-component structural patterns, i.e. (1) V + (d) + N + Prep + θ and (2) V + (d) + Adj + N. Despite its crucial role, this segment has not been the focus of a complex study creating a lacuna in English phraseology, therefore there is a need for structural analysis of its patterns. A number of both poliparadigmal and specific research methods, including the method of the componential and quantitative analysis and dictionary definitions, were applied in this study. As a result, both simple and complex phraseological variants in each of the two structural patterns were found. Phraseologisms of the first pattern were subjected to variability in 91% of occurrences, phraseologisms of the second pattern were subjected to variability in 81% of occurrences...
THE STUDY OF WORD CLASSES IN THE HISTORY OF CHINESE LINGUISTIC TRADITION
Authors:   Jing Bailiang South Ural State University, Bailiang Jing
Published: January 2021

The concept of the parts of speech in Chinese linguistics is essentially different from understanding parts of speech in Indo-European language studies. Some Chinese and foreign linguists are trying to elaborate a classification for the parts of speech based on corresponding systems of other languages and thus disregarding the relevant properties of Chinese. This article reviews the history of identification of word classes in Chinese linguistic tradition that correlate with the parts of speech in modern Chinese, and presents an attempt to trace the development of the word classes theory in traditional Chinese grammar. Literature analysis on the issue shows that the preliminaries of the theory were formed by Chinese scientists employing philosophic approach that bore a certain amount of subjective attitude and were determined by semantic criterion. As a result, all words were divided into the ones that bear certain meaning and the ones that are deprived of it but are able to change the initial meaning, although word class affiliation was not determined at those times...
SITUATIVE-STRUCTURAL MODELS OF VERBS OF PASSIVE PERCEPTION IN THE KHAKAS LANGUAGE
Authors:   Maria D. Chertykova Institute for Humanitarian Researches and AltaySayan Turkic Studies Katanov State University of Khakassia, Chertykova Maria D.
Published: January 2021

Within the framework of the semantic-cognitive approach, verbs of passive perception in the Khakas language are considered, situational-structural models characteristic for them are determined. It was discovered that 3 basic verbs with the corresponding passive affixes can represent passive perception: кöрін- 'to look; to be seen'; истіл- 'to be heard', ичыстан- 'to smell; to stink'. The analysis revealed specific semantic features of these passive verbs, including those of active perception. Six situative-structural models were found: 1) direct passive perception of the reality; 2) passive perception as a memory of a situation, event or phenomenon; 3) passive perception of an object as an imaginative situation or phenomenon; 4) passive perception of an object in the presence of characteristic details; 5) passive perception of an object through situational and process-related factors present in the subject's consciousness; 6) vague (or inadequate) perception of reality due to physiological or psychic violations in the subject. The passive voice forms can also express active perception of an object when they describe extreme or unexpected situations. Negative perceptual judgment in verb semantics neutralizes passive perception as well.
GRAMMATICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PARTICLES IN MODERN CHINESE
Authors:   Evgeniia V. Bereza Amur State University, Bereza Evgeniia V.
Published: January 2021

This article aims at studying one of the most controversial issues that researchers encounter when considering particles of modern Chinese - their classification. In modern Chinese, the importance of this class of functional words is immensely greater as a result of their ability to express certain morphological categories, additional emotional coloring as well as the speaker’s attitude to what is uttered. This paper describes grammatical features of particles, presents classifications of particles developed by Russian and Chinese linguists. As a result of analyzing these classifications, by means of comparison and generalization, a new grammatical classification of particles was offered. The classification includes 6 groups formed on the basis of particles’ meanings and functioning patterns: 1) structural, 2) aspect-tense, 3) modal; 4) particles used for enumeration; 5) comparative; 6) particles expressing numbers. In these groups, particles that had not been included there before were added. Thus, 之 zhī и所 suǒ entered the first group, all particles related to expressing aspect, time of the action and condition including 来着 láizhe，来 lái1, 的 de2, 看 kan formed the second group, 们 men were added to the sixth group.

Corpus research presents obvious benefits, though linguists approach the material in various ways. For example, corpus linguists approach data in an exploratory way, whereas psycholinguists more often tend to combine corpus data and experimental research. The current work uses the theoretical systemic approach to describe the two frequency strata of the three corpora (Russian National Corpus, British National Corpus and Open American National Corpus) and build the classification of phonetic word types in Russian and English (British and American). The aim of the research is to draw up the phonetic (perceptive) classification of the corresponding languages and to describe the identity of their sound systems based on these types. The high frequency and the frequency strata of the three corpora have been analyzed to identify the words characterized by the following linguistic features: length in syllables, stressed vowel, rhythmic structure, etc. The data comparison discovered more distinctions than similarities among the three corpora...
ZOOLOGICAL NAMES AS OBJECT OF LINGUISTIC RESEARCH

Published: January 2021

The history of animal names begins with the early epochs of human evolution, when animalism was one of the basic components of the worldview. Despite a considerable number of works that study zoological vocabulary, the uncertainty of a number of terms and a certain arbitrariness of the use of terms and concepts associated with animal names is still present in onomastics, e.g. "zoonym" and "zoomorphism" refer to such concepts. The purpose of the article is to clarify the terminological meaning of these concepts, to generalize and systematize the basic research on the theory of zoonymic nominations. The research methodology was formed on the basis of theoretical positions in the field of onomastics and the theory of nominations in modern linguistics. As a result of the theoretical analysis the following findings were made. First, the terms "zoonym" and "zoomorphism" are not synonymous. "Zoonym" is a more general term than "zoomorphism". Zoomorphism represents zoological names of anthropological nature, attributing the traits associated with the image of an animal to a human. Zoonyms do not have such attributes. "Zoonim" is proposed to be the general term. Another finding was that the functioning of zoonyms and zoomorphisms in the literary text is influenced by the genre of the text, which is expressed in the genre determinism of the lexical composition of zoonyms nominating animals.
REPRESENTATION OF SITUATION MODELS IN ENGLISH MEDIA DISCOURSE
Authors:   Elena V.Bezborodnikova Samara National Research University named after academician S. P. Korolev, Bezborodnikova Elena V.
Published: January 2021

Within the frameworks of the article, specific features of a structure of political situation models are analyzed. The analysis is carried out on the material of media texts from modern English news articles. The correlation between the choice of language means for event representation and the author’s intention is analyzed. The hypothesis implies that it is possible to define correlation between complete / incomplete representation of situation model and the initial intention of the author of a media text. The study found that the author can use a limited set of model components with the aim of informing the reader - in this case the situation model can be represented with the help of such components as Setting and Scene, Participants, Act Sequence, whereas with the objective of not only informing but also having an impact on the reader the author represents a situation with the help of a full set of situation model components which, according to the theory of D. Hymes, include Setting and Scene, Participants, Ends, Act Sequence, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, Genre. As a result, the conclusion can be drawn that an intention of the author defines the structure and the content of the event model represented in media text.

Published: January 2021

In the language, lexical units perform different functions and are characterized by different informativeness. Some of them can appear both in their usual meaning and as parasite words and thus perform double function. This paper aims at studying those words. We hypothesize that in Chinese spontaneous speech, the same words that appear in their usual meaning and as parasite words have different phonetic manifestation, particularly, the latter are used in weak forms more often. An acoustic study was performed to prove the hypothesis. The material was obtained from 6 young females Putonghua speakers. Five functional words 然后ranhou, 就是jiushi, 那个nage, 这个zhege, 那种nazhong were chosen for this study as far as they were relatively frequent and appeared in the speech of all the 6 subjects. In general, the obtained data proved the hypothesis. In both functions, weak forms were found with very few exceptions, however, the number of weak forms increased several times when functioning as parasite words. Different degrees of their incompleteness were noticed as a result of various modifications of the syllable elements as well as syllables liaison.
EMOTIVE-EXPRESSIVE-CAUSATIVE SEMANTIC SUBCOMPLEX
Authors:   Nadezhda P. Siutkina Perm State University, Siutkina Nadezhda P. , Shustova Svetlana V. ,   Svetlana V. Shustova Perm State University
Published: January 2021

In this article, from the standpoint of functional grammar, the category of emotive causatives is analyzed, by which we mean the verbs of interpersonal interaction, realizing their meaning in the categorical situation of causation and modification of emotional interaction. In speech, we observe the interaction of categorical elements of the utterance, which actualize various categories. In this case, we observe the functioning of a categorical semantic complex - a set of semantic categories functionally united by a common intentionality. We analyze the situation of modification of the mental sphere in the object of causation, namely, the causation of emotional modification, therefore we single out the emotive-causative categorical complex. The main content of the complex is the actualization of a positive or negative modification of the emotional state of the object of causation, and it is implemented by two categorical semes: emotive seme and cause seme. The category of expressiveness interacts with the category of emotive causatives in speech, therefore, we single out the emotive-expressive-causative categorical semantic subcomplex. When implementing such a subcomplex, the causer has an effect on the object of causation in order to change its emotional state. The result of causation in the situation of emotional modification lies in the meaning of the verb - the emotive causative.

The current article presents the results of the Orochon noun categories study (number, declension and possessiveness) and their formation patterns. The study showed that as in other Tungusic languages, affix is the main morphological indicator of grammatical forms in the Orochon language. The data resulting from the comparison of Orochon and Evenki noun categories reveal the proximity of the grammatical systems of two genetically similar languages. The category of number of the Evenki and Orochon languages demonstrates the correspondence of formation of singular and plural noun forms. No special morphological indicator is used for Orochon and Evenki nouns in singular. The plural noun suffixes are similar. Case suffixes in the accusative, dative, directive and local case of the Evenki and Orochon languages are equivalent. Correlation of suffixes of the possessive nouns of the 1-st and 3-rd person singular and plural is proven. The reflexive suffixes in Evenki and Orochon reveal complete similarity in the singular and partial similarity in the plural.

The article analyzes the functions of personal and possessive pronouns in the presidential discourse of modern Georgia. The article considers the use of pronouns in presidential discourse, where it is one of the effective means of manipulating public opinion, as well as a significant feature of a politician, reflecting his worldview and ideology. The article attempts to show the specificity of personal and possessive pronouns on the material of modern Georgian-language political texts. In addition, attention is paid to the use of the personal pronoun of the 1st person with the verb of the 1st person. A detailed study of the speeches of the President of Georgia made it possible to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of this grammatical combination, which contributes to the achievement of a special pragmatic effect and gives a certain expressiveness to the statement. The result of the analysis of the presidential discourse of Georgia was the identification of the most relevant functions of pronouns for this type of discourse: determination, status superiority demonstration, expressing unity.

Fluencyin a foreignlanguagepresupposesadvancementinvariousskills. When learning a foreign language, listening is one of the most difficult types of language practices for non-native speakers. The results of the present research based on the survey of 52 Chinese and 50 Russian L2 learners, aged 18-28 (Bachelor, Master and PhD levels) in Chelyabinsk support this viewpoint. The current paper analyzes the causes of mistakes in listening comprehension made by Chinese learners of Russian and Russian learners of Chinese. The causes can be of psychological nature (anxiety and the lack of motivation), of linguistic nature reflected on the phonetic (number of sounds, syllable tone vs lexical stress, connected speech processes), lexicographic, lexical-grammatical (the lack of vocabulary, differences of grammatical categories and syntactic sentence patterns) levels, as well as the lack of knowledge regarding cultural realities. These mistakes are a naturally expected as a result of the negative interference of the mother tongue.

The present article aims to study the problem of linguistic personality formation in children of other than Russian language origin learning Russian at Russian primary school. The structure of the language personality is also observed. The focus of this study is lexicon as an important structural component of the language personality. The results of an empirical study of the vocabulary of such children are presented. First, the results of the survey with the questionnaire enabled to determine that the perception of a national language or the Russian language as the native one depended upon the language used for communication in the family which in its turn was a result of a family being international or mononational. The survey also showed that more than 61% and 72% experienced writing skills challenges in dictation and essays in Russian, at the same time, 72% cannot write their national language at all. Third, in the course of ascertaining experiment, it was found that the targeted category of children demonstrated certain specific features of language personality formation: flaws occurred in the structure of verbal-semantic level (gaps in vocabulary, agrammatism), features of the lexicon were determined by the speech input, gaps in lexicon reduced the quality of writing performance (dictations, expositions, essays) because of difficulties in understanding. Recommendations are offered for this category of learners to improve and enlarge their vocabulary.
PREPOSITION AS A MEANS TO REFLECT THE CATEGORY OF SPACE IN THE LANGUAGE (BASED ON SPANISH)
Authors:   Sona A. Galstian Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Galstian Sona A.
Published: January 2021

The article explores the role of prepositions in expressing spatial relations in Spanish including physical and linguistic space relationship. The article presents the arguments in favour of the idea that the preposition is the main means to reflect the category of space in the language since the semantics of spatial prepositions contains information about objects localization: the Spanish prepositions are able to indicate the direction from the start point and to the given point, the final point of movement, the trajectory of movement as well as the object location. The article pays particular attention to the relationship between the use of spatial prepositions and the situation in which the subject is involved. Thus, the objects that exist in reality can be interpreted by a person in different ways. I argue that this fact plays a key role in choosing a preposition, in some cases a preposition with uncharacteristic semantics, to describe a particular situation. It was found that, in order to express the dynamic spatial relations, in some cases, due to the peculiarities of human perception of reality it is necessary to use a static spatial preposition, and vice versa, when transmitting the static spatial relations, sometimes the dynamic spatial prepositions are used...

The research analyzes utterances verbalizing the concept of ISLAM in the English-language political discourse. Islam is considered in the paper not only as a religious and cultural phenomenon but also as a social and political phenomenon. This approach justifies the use of print media texts in order to expose ISLAM conceptual features in the contemporary picture of the world. Within the framework of the article, we analyze ISLAM contents, structure and means of expression. The purpose of the article is to identify the main features of ISLAM frame structure based on modern political discourse. ISLAM can be represented as a frame whose top levels are SUBJECT, TYPE, SOURCE, and ACTION. The main conceptual features attributed to ISLAM in the English-language political discourse are “dogmatism”, “globalism”, “good organization”, “fundamentalism”, “violence”.

The article presents the results of the analysis and quantitative assessment of the phonetic variation of English in selected countries of East Asia. We adapt Levenshtein's approach to the numerical description of linguistic distances to determine the degree of phonetic differences, based on the analysis of the phonetic transcriptions of words from the Swadesh list. The work uses methods of multidimensional scaling to visualize the results of the study. The obtained quantitative estimates demonstrate a high degree of robustness both in relation to the applied measurement methods, and in relation to the degree of detail of accounting for detected phonetic differences, as well as to (small) changes in the size used to construct vocabulary estimates. The results allow us to estimate the degree of mutual remoteness of the considered phonetic “variations” of the English language (for native speakers of Chinese, Korean and Japanese) and its “standard”. The constructed matrices of phonetic distances can further be used as “proxies” in empirical studies of the interaction potential of the respective countries.

The article considers peculiar features of gastronomic metaphors in advertising texts of American tourist companies. Semantic classification of gastronomic metaphors was designed on the basis of their primary meanings. Several thematic groups of metaphors associated with names of food, its properties and actions relating to food were identified. The study was based on 200 advertisements posted by 30 American tour agencies where 160 gastronomic metaphors were found. They were distributed into 4 thematic groups: 1) actions relating to food, 2) food properties, 3) national cuisine, 4) food. The first group turned out the largest and included 71 metaphors further distributed into subgroups denoting food consumption process, (25), enjoying taste / smell of food (42), cooking (4). The analysis showed that all examples of gastronomic metaphors are characterized by positive connotation, expressiveness and imagery. Due to this, they implement the functions of attracting attention and emotional impact in advertising texts.

Intonational contours of interrogative sentences in the Evenki language have rarely been in the focus of researchers' attention either theoretically or practically. In this article, this problem is studied from the standpoint of experimental phonetics. Pitch patterns of the general, and special questions are described. The experimental samples were simple sentences with one emphasis center. The material for the study was collected from 11 speakers of the Eastern dialect group of the Evenki language. The obtained results are the following. A typical intonation contour of the general question in the Evenki language is Rise. In the course of the experiment, it was found that in order to identify interrogation in the Evenki general questions, the rising intonation of the last syllable was essential. Special questions were characterized by the Falling pitch pattern with the nucleus on the verb. Our data differ from the ones previously obtained by N. Ya. Bulatova and L. Grenoble (1999) who found rising pitch on the sentence-initial question word.

Korean is the official language in the Republic of Korea and the DPRK, where it is called Hangul and Chosongyl respectively. For a long time, Koreans had used a complex system of Khancha before in 1444 King Sejon the Great created the Korean alphabet, but Khanch remains an important element in the life of Koreans to these days. The current research aims to find out what writing system was the predecessor of the new writing system, particularly, whether the Mongolian square script could have become the “progenitor” of Korean writing. The question of the origin of Hangul is interesting and, at the same time, challenging for many researchers. In Russia, L. R. Kontsevich, a Soviet and Russian Orientalist-Korean scholar, studied this issue. In this article we examine the theory of American Korean scholar Gary Ledyard and his assumption about Hangul originating from the Mongolian square script.
