Abstract

The article is devoted to a comparative study of such interplicate final concepts as PURPOSE, CONDITION, and CONCESSION. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of the representation of the concepts of PURPOSE, CONDITION, and CONCESSION in Russian and Chuvash linguistic worldviews. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that it is the first to identify the dynamics of finality as a cognitive interface between the subject of cognition and objective reality, as a marker structure of the subject’s perception of causal relationships. The article examines speech planning as a dynamic process in which the speaker takes into account internal and external conditions that shape their communicative goals. Since the speaker is not free to choose their utterance, they operate within a field of numerous constraints and consciously construct a path to achieve their goal, resulting in various semantic modifications in their speech. The study found that external and internal conditions determine the speaker’s communicative goals, and if they cannot be achieved, a tactical retreat (concession) occurs. Interplicate concepts of PURPOSE, CONDITION, and CONCESSION are an integral cognitive tool for interacting with the objective world, allowing us to operate not only with actual, but also with potential and alternative possibilities. The forms and types of representatives of these concepts in different linguistic worldviews are historically and culturally conditioned.

Language, Subject, Enunciation, Discourse: (Re)Reading Michel Pêcheux in Times of Generative Language Tools

ABSTRACT This article aims to reflect on the functioning of generative language tools, based on the theoretical-methodological framework of materialist discourse analysis, founded on the propositions of Michel Pêcheux. Taking as a starting point the (re)reading of Pêcheux’s work, focusing on the notions of language, subject, enunciation and discourse, it proposes questions about the way in which the processes of production of meanings, theoretically understood as phenomena carried out by/in subjects, are affected by the advancement of chatbots, in their capacity for textual production. In a second moment, based on the analysis of linguistic materiality produced by ChatGPT, it points to the way in which the machine, inscribed in the place of “artificial intelligence,” begins to “inherit” discursive positions arising from texts present in its training, so that the meanings produced in their formulations are anchored in a mapping of dispute processes over meanings that instantiate these positions.

The AC-rzecz ujmując -construction in Polish: A corpus-driven study

This article uses frame semantics, the concept of a communicative frame, us-age-based construction grammar theory, and a corpus-based quantitative methodology to examine the characteristics of constructions in Polish that contain adverbial complements (ACs), the noun rzecz ‘thing’, and the quasi-participle ujmując ‘expressing/putting’. The author analyzes examples of this construction found in the National Corpus of Polish (NKJP) to understand its structural, semantic, distributional, and discourse-related features. In addition, the study identifies ACs that are strongly and weakly associated with this construction, and those that are more or less dependent on it. The research shows that this construction is often combined with various categories of ACs, each corresponding to distinct semantic and communicative frames. Furthermore, it has been observed that this construction is motivated by a specific conceptual metaphor, appears in different language registers, takes various forms, and serves multiple functions in discourse.

COMPARATIVE LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE TYPES AND FUNCTIONS OF REPETITION IN RUSSIAN AND ARABIC

Abstract. The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of repetition in the Russian and Arabic languages, viewed from the perspective of its structural organization and functional-communicative potential. The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that repetition functions not merely as a stylistic device, but as a fundamental mechanism of text formation, ensuring semantic cohesion, compositional integrity, and expressive intensity of utterance. The multi-level nature of repetition-lexical, morphemic, syntactic, and semantic-requires systematic interpretation within contemporary linguistics, particularly in the context of cross-linguistic comparison with the Arabic rhetorical tradition. The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive study of repetition in the Russian language by identifying its stylistic, semantic, and communicative functions, as well as to compare the ways in which repetition is realized in Russian and Arabic. The objectives of the study include clarifying the theoretical content of the concept of “repetition” based on modern linguistic approaches; classifying its main types; analyzing their functioning in literary and academic discourse; and identifying similarities and differences in their use in the two languages under consideration. The methodological framework is based on a comparative approach incorporating elements of structural-semantic, contextual, and discourse analysis. The research material consists of texts of various genres, which makes it possible to trace both variable and stable patterns in the use of repetition. The findings demonstrate that repetition performs text-forming, expressive, and argumentative functions, while its realization in Russian and Arabic reveals both typological similarities and culturally conditioned differences. The conclusions contribute to a deeper understanding of the stylistic potential of repetition and confirm its significance for text theory, comparative stylistics, and intercultural communication.

Interjection in language, speech and communicative space

The article discusses the nature of interjections in terms of contrasting language, speech, and communication as interrelated but not identical concepts. It describes the relationship between interjection and word and sentence, as well as with the language-speech dichotomy. The object of the study is the so-called primitive interjections such as Ah! Oy! Eh!, etc. They are the result of primary conceptualization and are reflected at the level of ordinary consciousness of native speakers as basic emotions. Interjections like like "Batushki!" "My God!" and so on, are defined as the result of secondary conceptualization, they have a functional character and turn out to be the result of hybridity or transitivity in language. The subject of the description is the connection of primitive interjections with words and utterances, and the purpose is to comprehend their categorical features based on logical-analytical, descriptive and contextual methods. We present an unconventional view of the interjection as a special structural-semantic type of communicative words that are characterized by both words and utterances and are not included in the system of parts of speech of the Russian language. In terms of communication, they are situationally dependent exclamatory indivisible utterances as part of a speech act that introduce emotional information into a discourse, or a structural and semantic type of sentence.

Content and collocative patterns of the lexeme “пузырь” (bubble) in the economic context

The purpose of the study is to describe the semantic content of the lexeme “пузырь” (bubble) as realized in the economic discourse of the modern Russian language. The article presents a comprehensive description of the word’s meaning: actualized semes are identified, paradigmatic relations and typical collocational patterns are determined, and the specifics of its comprehension by native Russian speakers are analyzed. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its specialized focus: for the first time, the semantics of the lexeme “пузырь” (bubble) is examined specifically within an economic context. The lexical-semantic variant under consideration is represented in specialized online dictionaries, yet it is absent from entries in standard Russian explanatory dictionaries. As a result of the study, it is established that the lexeme “пузырь” (bubble) in an economic context functions as a borrowed metaphor. The word denotes a market situation characterized by an unjustified rise in prices that culminates in a sharp drop, or the “bursting of the bubble”. In most of the analyzed sources, this situation is described as artificially created, large-scale, and dynamic. An analysis of texts from the Russian National Corpus and the findings of a sociolinguistic survey revealed that today the specialized meaning of the lexeme “пузырь” (bubble) extends beyond a narrow professional domain, it is actively used in media language and is easily understood by Russian native speakers.

The <i>AC</i> - <i>rzecz ujmując</i> -construction in Polish

This article uses frame semantics, the concept of a communicative frame, usage-based construction grammar theory, and a corpus-based quantitative methodology to examine the characteristics of constructions in Polish that contain adverbial complements (ACs), the noun rzecz ‘thing’, and the quasi-participle ujmując ‘expressing/putting’. The author analyzes examples of this construction found in the National Corpus of Polish (NKJP) to understand its structural, semantic, distributional, and discourse-related features. In addition, the study identifies ACs that are strongly and weakly associated with this construction, and those that are more or less dependent on it.
