This study explores the mechanisms of manipulative influence within German-language economic discourse. The empirical material consists of articles from the Köln Institute for Economic Research, detailing external trade cooperation between Germany and China during the years 2020 to 2023. It has been found that metaphors, borrowings, idiomatic expressions, expressive language, and emotives — comprising combinations of evaluative connotations — exert a covert manipulative effect on communication participants. At the grammatical level, the use of adverbs in the superlative degree and modal verbs in the preterite subjunctive form enables the construction of narratives that downplay the significance of China’s successes as an economic competitor. The analysis reveals that manipulation within economic discourse is intentionally obscured, possessing an implicit nature. It has been determined that portraying the Chinese economy in an unequivocally negative light is impractical; however, there are noticeable trends towards diminishing the significance of its successes, negatively evaluating business activity, and exaggerating the perceived threats posed by China to its business partners. The novelty and relevance of this research lie in addressing the techniques of manipulative influence in shaping the linguistic worldview within economic discourse — a perspective that has not yet been explored, as such texts are often considered objective documents grounded in scientific statistical data.

The present paper refers to the current problem of semiotic signs’ specifics in the context of gaming discourse based on texts from action first-person shooter game Ultrakill developed by Finnish creators. The problem is relevant due to the influence that computer games have on people’s mind – in particular on the minds of the younger generation. Moreover, the study will help to understand the linguistic mechanisms of the impact of video games on players. The study used methods of semantic analysis, semiotic analysis, observation and description techniques. As a result, the research revealed that developers use intertextual units to create patterns that are familiar to the player, but which at the same time have new characteristics. While 66% of all intertext is universally known, obscure allusions play an important role in creating associations for the recipient as well, which proves the importance of intertext in video game discourse. Well-known allusions play a role in creating semantic images in the game, while the lesser known intertext has easy to understand semes that could provoke the player to action in game. The research identified the following types of intertext: allusions to songs, music albums, other games, myths, the Bible and literature. The synthesis of intertext and author’s text in level names gives the player an idea of the upcoming challenges without informing of the level context, and in some cases even intriguing the player. The combination of borrowings and original semiotic units in the names of characters creates images that are familiar to the player, but at the same time, it creates properties that are specific to this particular game. Dialogues are mainly inherent in this genre, but the conversations also have deviations from this genre, which is also done in order to affect the player – the author gives the recipient a familiar behavior pattern in order to replace it afterewards, causing cognitive dissonance to the player. Conclusions are drawn about the discourse mechanisms in video games, how they affect the player and for what purpose the developer uses one or another linguistic technique.

Nowadays there is a need to actualise scientific research, in which axiological analysis of philological phenomena is one of the priorities. This analysis allows to give the research an ethicalphilological perspective, the relevance of which is conditioned by the selection of those components which are connected with ontological ethical values. The interiorisation of these values in the individual’s consciousness contributes to the effective humanisation of the person’s consciousness. The aim of the study is to identify ontological ethical values in C.T. Aitmatov’s novels, presented in the form of semantic-semiotic invariant paradigms and their variable connotative components. At the level of semiotics the images-symbols as basic concepts are considered, at the level of semantics the spiritual and moral dominants of the axiosphere of these novels are revealed as part of lexemes and phrases. The material of the research was the conceptosphere of Ch.T. Aitmatov’s novels “And the Day Lasts Longer than a Century” and “The Scaffold”, represented by basic images-symbols, as well as the lexico-phrase layer of the novels “Cassandra’s Brand” and “When Mountains Fall (The Eternal Bride)”, which contains concepts that act as spiritual and moral dominants of the works. The article uses the method of theoretical poetics, axiological, descriptive and linguocultural methods, method of contextual analysis, semiotic analysis, linguocognitive approach was also applied. Results . Basic figurative and symbolic concepts in the novels “And the Day Lasts Longer than a Century” and “The Scaffold” and the semantic model of spiritual and moral dominants in the novels “Cassandra’s Brand” and “When Mountains Fall (The Eternal Bride)” have an unconditional humanistic character, reflecting the depth of spiritual and moral revelations of Ch.T. Aitmatov. These concepts and dominants constitute the ideological and moral core of the novels, being unconditional existential ideals that determine the vectors of moral and humanistic development of the individual and humanity as a whole. Conclusion : the study of the semantic-semiotic paradigm of the dominants of axiosphere of Ch.T. Aitmatov’s novels in the aspects of image-symbolic concepts and semantic model of spiritual and moral values allows to reveal the essence of the author’s ideal, to pay attention to its humanely educating character.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the connotative meaning as part of the semantic structure of the word along with the subject-logical and grammatical macro-components. The study of connotation is proposed to be carried out taking into account the distinction between speech and language connotations, as well as taking into account the concept of linguistic personality.

The stylistic, syntactic, and lexical information of five synonyms in English language are examined in this article. The primary focus of this article is on loose synonyms; appeal, request, plead, beg, and ask. The data for this article was obtained from learner's dictionaries and corpora. The corpus-based data appears to be beneficial because it supplies additional information as opposed to dictionaries that lack comprehensive details of the words, for instance collocations or grammatical patterns. Additionally, corpora provide the option to search for more sample sentences of synonyms in case the learner is not clear on the meaning of a certain word. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

“Educational Technology” is a complete and indivisible whole formed by the fusion two elements of education and technology. This expansive field encompasses research and practical applications aimed at addressing educational and instructional problems through technology. The conventional practice of relying on a singular definition to elucidate educational technology has resulted in confusion and operational challenges. This article introduces the concept of a definition group of educational technology, delves into the discipline’s research objects, research purpose and tasks, research domain and scope, disciplinary foundation, research methods, visual representation of the disciplinary structure, and the logical starting point and positioning, and establishes distinct theory and knowledge systems for educational technology discipline in China, offering a comprehensive interpretation of the discipline’s connotations and extensions.

The need to study the concept of "politeness" from the point of view of its linguistic and cultural nature is caused by the desire to study the national identity of speech etiquette in different cultural spaces and conditions. The aim of the work was to form an idea about the specifics of the implementation and understanding of the concept of "politeness" in the Uzbek information field. In this study, the following methods were used: contextual, conceptual, communicative, linguocultural, analytical-synthetic, and comparative. This study is focused on the study of key lexical meanings (stylistically neutral and marked, basic and additional) that are within the functional-semantic field of the concept "politeness." With the help of contextual study of different variants of the use of the lexeme, the meanings were distributed in the conceptual structure (core, near and far periphery). Also, the key etiquette formulas representing the originality and national-specific features of the Uzbek linguocultural tradition were considered. The importance of politeness in the information space of Uzbekistan is assessed, including with the help of both positive and negative associations, that is, from an axiological point of view. Speech etiquette and linguistic formulas were considered from the point of view of the influence of social, cultural, and political values of the Uzbek people. In the process of analyzing the lexical layer, the boundaries of the functional-semantic field of the concept "politeness" were determined: from the principles of communication and a set of rules of etiquette to the strategy of obtaining benefits from communication and insincere attitude. In the future, this work can be used for comparative analysis of the conceptual structure of politeness with models presented in other close and distant languages, comparison of speech etiquette and linguistic formulas in different national cultures.

Placed at the intersection of semantics and pragmatics, the concept of semantic prosody has been associated with various notions including evaluative meaning, attitudinal meaning and connotations, and there is no agreement among researchers as to its definition and operationalization. In this critical-reflection theoretical paper, we provide an overview of collocational and discoursal approaches to semantic prosody, which we treat as distinct and, at the same time, complementary. Furthermore, we suggest that the semantic prosody can be conceptualised as an interaction between a source and a target term, where the target term has a descriptive semantic content, and it receives its evaluative meaning from the source term, which can be either only evaluative (thin) or both evaluative and descriptive (thick). Next, we propose that the source of semantic prosody can be accounted for in terms of value judgments. In particular, a value judgment that a speaker ascribes to the factual content of a term is always relative to a certain kind of standard. Thus, our proposal supports the view that the speaker's stance, manifested in value judgments that they ascribe to terms, can be considered as a source of semantic prosody. • We propose a new theoretical reading of semantic prosody grounded in the philosophy of language. • We argue that semantic prosody arises as a result of interaction between thin and thick terms. • We argue that the semantics of expressions that have semantic prosody can be understood in terms of value judgments. • We argue that value judgements ascribed by speakers to expressions are relative to a culturally-marked kind of standard. • Our proposal supports both the collocational and discoursal views of semantic prosody.

The study deals with semantical contexts of Al-Qur’an. The objective of the study is to elucidate the use derivative forms of Quranic vocabularies and their meanings found in the Qur’anic dialogues according to different language contexts. The study explains concept of language derivations; its forms and meanings, as well as concept of dialogue and its styles with a concentration on the semantical expects of Qur’anic vocabularies in different surah of AlQur’an. The study adopts descriptive and analytical methodologies to enlighten the significant of the vocabularies by justifying their usage in different Quranic contexts for instance: verbal and nominal forms of the selected dialogues, among others: (1) Dialogue between Allah and His Angels, (2) Dialogue between Allah and His Prophets, (3) Dialogue between Angels and Humans, (4) Dialogue among humans themselves, (5) Dialogue between Humans and Animals. The study recapitulates that the selection of Qur’anic vocabularies and their usage in the analysed dialogues enlightens the appropriateness of their usage in Al-Qur’an. The study also highlights the varieties of language derivations of Al-Qur’an, namely: past tense, present tense, imperative verb, verbal noun, active participle, superlative noun, hyperbolic participle, resembling participle. All these derivative forms are used to present and describe to reader reality scenario, educational scenario, virtue, role, and religious insights for the benefit of all Muslims.

The inaugural speeches of Reagan and Trump differ in cognitive structures, discourse-forming strategies, and linguistic means. The semantic dominant in Reagan's discourse is "unity based on heroic continuity" versus "division" in Trump's discourse with the "us-them" opposition. The conceptual architecture of Reagan's discourse is based on the clusters of "American uniqueness", "sense of national pride" and "continuity of the heroic past" with connotations of optimism versus "threat" and "protection" in Trump's discourse, implying pessimism. In Reagan's metaphors, 75 % of source domains serve as identifiers of positive emotions, compared to Trump's 77.7% of negatively connoted source spaces. The primary stylistic device in Trump's speech is explicit antitheses, implementing the strategy of constructing a "we-group" based on the opposition to "them", while Reagan's antitheses are implicit, implementing a strategy of consolidation by cancelling negative propositions with affirmative ones denoting ways to compensate for negativity. Temporal deixis in Trump's speech actualizes the "past is bad" model in antithesis to "future is good". Reagan's temporal perspective of the future is conceptualized as a positively evaluated heroic past, using intertextual citations, paraphrases, allusions, and narratives. Trump builds an emotional connection stylistically, while Reagan does so lexically-semantically, operating not with forms, but with meanings in an ethos argumentative model, using complex syntactic structures, an intimate and narrative style, direct directives, and "I"-based personal dexis, implementing a strategy of unification via individualization. Trump employs a slogan-like style in a pathos argumentative model, relying on simple syntax accumulating stylistic devices, aimed at mass audience in a strategy of unification versus individualization.

In the context of contemporary technology, artificial intelligence has become the focus of thinking and dialectics, reaching boundaries beyond the dimensions of technology and directly to the core of human existence and consciousness. Philosophy of mind, as an ancient and profound way of thinking, has encountered many obstacles in the construction of artificial intelligence concepts. Marxist philosophy emphasizes the determinism of matter and mode of production. From the perspective of Marxist philosophy, this study compares and analyzes the theoretical differences and complementarities between it and traditional philosophy of the mind, with the aim of providing a new perspective for the construction of artificial intelligence concepts and enriching their connotations. The study first conducts a conceptual analysis of Marxist philosophy and, then, proposes a supplement and transcendence of Marxist philosophy to the philosophy of mind based on the construction of artificial intelligence concepts. The research finds that a philosophical dialogue has been formed between artificial intelligence and historical materialism, which not only reveals how to understand artificial intelligence from the historical dimension, but also provides valuable philosophical guidance for people in this era full of opportunities and challenges. In the process of technological evolution, people must adhere to the bottom line of humanistic spirit and ensure that technology always serves the human beings’ comprehensive, free and balanced growth. In addition, in order to ensure that artificial intelligence technology truly serves the common well-being of mankind, people also need to constantly reflect on, adjust and improve the development and application of technology, and jointly promote social progress.

The Buddhist culture of the Grand Canal arises from the interaction and dynamic interplay between Grand Canal culture and Buddhist culture. This cultural phenomenon is not merely a simple superimposition of two elements; rather, it represents a unique cultural form that has evolved historically through the intersection of temporal and spatial dimensions. Its connotations can be understood from multiple perspectives, including the ephemerality of time, the dispersion of space, the plurality of types and the intermingling of subject and object. The Buddhist culture of the Grand Canal developed along both sides of the canal and has been historically deposited, embodying an amalgamation of reality and history. Therefore, the study of this culture should not be confined to specific temporal or spatial contexts but should encompass a multidimensional and expansive cultural exploration centred on the Grand Canal. By examining the connection between human excellence and the flow of water within this context, the cultural characteristics of the Buddhist culture of the Grand Canal extend into the cultural flow between the north and south. Here, Buddhist culture serves as the connecting thread, linking, communicating and integrating the spiritual worlds of people across different regions. The scope of research primarily encompasses diverse fields such as Buddhist history, Buddhist thought, cultural relics, social folklore, literature and art. Contribution: This paper emphasises that an in-depth understanding of the connotations and qualities of the Buddhist culture of the Grand Canal is one of the most important ways to correctly understand the culture of the Grand Canal, especially the cross-culture of the Grand Canal and Buddhism, and points out the way in which and the scope of the research should be carried out.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the lexeme ulan/krasny in Kalmyk and Russian lingocultures according to lexicographic and textual sources. Color is today an object of interdisciplinary study. One of the most important actively developing areas of Russian and Kalmyk studies is the study of color terms (linguocultural coloristics), which dictates the relevance of this study. Of particular interest is the analysis of color collocations and color symbolism. The purpose of the work is to identify the semantic subtleties of the lexical verbalization of the color red in the compared languages, similar and ethnospecific features. The object of the study is collocations with a color component, the subject is the semantics of color names. The article uses the following main research methods: observation, description, classification, systematization, comparison, continuous sampling method, etc. A fairly diverse illustrative material is presented. In the article, the authors come to the conclusion that the nominations of the color red in the Kalmyk and Russian languages have mainly positive connotations, revealing both similarities and differences. An updated understanding of the nature of the lexical explication of this color in two unrelated languages has been obtained. A more complete comparative description of the semantics of the analyzed lexemes and the color fragment of two linguistic pictures of the world is given.

[Objective] A smart pipeline network standard system generally constitutes a foundation for developing important technical documents and establishing technical standardization management as guidance for the intelligent-based development of enterprises in the pipeline network sector. However, the current prevailing standard system for oil and gas pipeline networks falls short of meeting the requirements for the intellectualized construction. So it is urgent to develop a standard system framework that aligns with the construction of smart pipeline networks. [Methods] The present study concentrated on analyzing the connotation and functions of oil and gas pipeline networks from the perspective of their “intelligent features” across four stages: feasibility study and design, construction and acceptance, operation and maintenance, and abandonment and plugging. The PipeChina standard system architecture served as the foundation for developing the smart pipeline network standard system architecture. Drawing inspiration from the standard system framework of smart power grids, a business framework model was proposed for the smart pipeline network standard system, comprising three dimensions: object, full life cycle, and interoperability. [Results] Objects refered to routes, stations,gas storages, and LNG terminals; the full life cycle included the four stages mentioned above; and interoperability consisted of three levels: application, interaction, and perception. In this paper, a standard system architecture for smart pipeline networks was constructed, incorporating the key technologies and standardization objects relevant to various businesses throughout the full life cycle of smart pipeline networks, and considering the two-dimensional mapping relationships between standardization elements interacting at the interoperability levels. Furthermore, an analysis was conducted on the supplementation and development of new standards when establish a standard system, using the application level of two-dimensional interoperability as the study object. [Conclusion] The study results provide valuable guidance for the development of smart pipeline network standard systems.

The benefits of agricultural land utilization are crucial factors in assessing the production capacity and sustainability of agricultural land resources. They also represent important research areas within the field of geography and land science. This paper systematically summarizes the research progress made in the connotation, classification, formation mechanism and evolution process, and evaluation and analysis of agricultural land utilization benefits, and puts forward future research trends. The findings revealed that agricultural land utilization benefits encompass the diverse outcomes and advances achieved through the utilization of agricultural land resources in a specific region, benefiting both nature and human development. They are formed by human beings′ exploitation of agricultural land resources based on their own needs. Currently, the comprehensiveness of the evaluation and analysis of agricultural land utilization benefits is insufficient. In addition, there is a need to enrich the index system, data sources, and methods. Theoretical research on the interaction mechanisms between benefits and influence mechanisms needs to also be developed further. Based on evaluation and analysis -interrelationship-influence mechanism-improvement and management, the research framework of agricultural land utilization benefits in the current era were constructed. Future research should be promoted by systematically evaluating and analyzing the benefits, quantitatively determining interrelation, accurately identifying influencing factors, and proposing differentiated improvement measures.

In the given article the literary translation of poem "Magic" is presented. There are several peculiarities concerning poetic translation in particular that require special linguistic tools for achieving correct and rhyming translation from English into Ukrainian. Conceptual analysis as an effective lingua-cultural tool was applied. The initial material (verse itself) is highly personal, individually created issue that requires delicate approach while translating and decoding author's ideas. This is problematic to make an appropriate translation without emerging into inner structure of verse's main concepts. Cross-cultural component should be taken into consideration as well. In the presented analysis was taken into consideration cultural difference of the concept magic in English and Ukrainian worldview. For achieving strong success, the explanatory definitions method was added in terms to apply not only denotative, but also connotative meaning of magic. Using the combination of the above approaches has given positive and promising result, because poetic translation is one of the most difficult domains for practical result (verses translation).

Some of the maps we encounter in our daily lives have become simpler and smaller, to the extent that they may employ only a single symbol to depict a particular incident. As maps and their symbols are never neutral, research on visual semiotics emphasizes the importance of exploring the implicit, connotative effects of signs on human responses. This study, therefore, aimed to assess the influence of simple monothematic web maps on map users’ judgments. It examined how the severity of negative geospatial events was perceived when represented by cartographic point symbols that varied in shape. In total, 72 maps (12 negative topics, each depicted by six map symbols) were rated by 82 participants. The results showed that asymmetric star symbols led to the highest estimates of the events’ perceived severity, followed by symmetric star symbols. Triangle and rhomb led to the lowest ratings. Circle and square showed the most variable results: they led to high and low ratings depending on the map topic. The findings demonstrate that map symbols influence how people imagine geospatial events. These findings call for a more vigorous focus on the connotative meanings of visual signs in cartographic research and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Breadwinner film is one of the films that have elements related to gender in it. The approach of this research is a qualitative descriptive research type, with data analysis using the method of Miles and Huberman. The semiotic analysis used the Roland Barthes analysis model which divides the stages into three, namely denotation, connotation, and myth. The results of this study are that gender in this film has a denotative meaning where women have demands to behave and act according to their environment, a connotative meaning where people put a lot of emphasis on how women should behave through verbal utterances, and myths about culture taken from one interpretation of the verses of the Al-Quran regarding women.

Целью настоящего исследования является изучение реализации концептуальной сущности топонима Брюссель в современном британском общественно-политическом дискурсе (ОПД). Материалом исследования послужили тексты британских медиа и национального корпуса британского английского языка (British National Corpora (BNC)), отобранные методом случайной выборки. Актуальность данного исследования обусловлена факторами текущей ситуации в мировой политике, а также лингвистическими факторами, обусловливающими формирование взглядов на Европейскую политику со стороны разных национальных дискурсов, в частности, британского общественно-политического дискурса. В ходе качественного контент-анализа изучалась реализация репрезентации топонима-концепта «Брюссель» в британском ОПД. На следующем этапе осуществлялся квантитативный анализ выявленных типов интерпретации с целью определения коннотативного аспекта изучаемого концепта в общественно-политическом дискурсе Великобритании. Сделан вывод о том, что на современном этапе в британском ОПД присутствуют традиционные когнитивные метафоры: «Артефактная метафора», «Социоморфная метафора», «Антропоморфная метафора», «Персонификация», «Природоморфная метафора»; а также, «метафора Пространства». Установлено, что в ОПД Британии преобладает отрицательная коннотация, которая выражает отношение к Брюсселю как врагу, сопернику, конкуренту.

Notre étude vise à fournir aux lecteurs une perspective sur les concepts de déonomastiques et de déonymes, sur le phénomène de lexicalisation des noms propres religieux et sur l'utilisation des déonymes qui en résultent dans différents registres et styles fonctionnels de la langue roumaine. Ce segment du vocabulaire n'ayant pas fait l'objet de recherches récentes, nous avons suivi de manière diachronique et synchronique la formation, l'évolution et l'utilisation de quelques déonymes dérivés de noms propres religieux, à l'aide d'exemples tirés de dictionnaires, d'ouvrages littéraires et scientifiques, de journaux ou de blogs. Dans certains registres et styles fonctionnels de la langue roumaine (littérature, presse, argot) les déonymes développent des significations connotatives destinées à augmenter la charge stylistique du message. Les exemples et les résultats de notre étude montrent que les déonymes religieux sont extrêmement intéressants du point de vue de l'enrichissement du vocabulaire et de l'évolutions du sens et méritent l'attention des (socio)linguistes.

Nous nous sommes consacrés dans le cadre de cette étude à l’analyse des patronymes en Algérie, plus précisément les patronymes de la Wilaya de Jijel. Notre objectif en mettant l’accent sur le processus de construction de la patronymie en Algérie est d’effectuer une étude morpho-sémantique des patronymes de la ville de Jijel. Pour ce faire, nous avons en premier lieu, nous consacrer à l’identification de la structure morphologique des patronymes jijiliens. En deuxième lieu, nous nous sommes focalisés sur l’étude des connotations qui se dégagent de l’ensemble de ces patronymes. En dernier lieu, et afin de vérifier si ces patronymes exercent un impact sur leur porteur, nous nous sommes intéressés également à l’étude des effets qu’une telle patronymie produit. Le corpus sur lequel nous nous sommes basés dans notre travail de recherche est composé de 80 patronymes récoltés dans la ville de Jijel et 40 entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès des personnes porteuses des patronymes relevés. Abstract We have dedicated ourselves in this article to the analysis of surnames in Algeria, more precisely the surnames of the Jijel province. Our objective in focusing on the process of surname construction in Algeria is to conduct a mopho-semantic study of the surnames of the city of Jijel. To do this, we first identified the morphological structure of Jijel surnames. Secondly, we focused on studying the connotations that emerge from these surnames. Finally, so that we verify if these surnames have an impact on their bearers structured interviews conducted with individuals bearing the recorded surnames.

Purpose. This paper is devoted to consideration of the color terms in French and German idioms and paremias and determining specifics of color perception in both languages. The authors made a comprehensive analysis of French and German idioms and paremias which contain color components. Color lexics containing such colors as blue/azure, red, green, yellow, white and black serves as the object of the analysis. Color palette clearly reflects cultural diversity, a worldview of French and German people. Method and methodology of the work. The study is based on comparative and descriptive method and method of thematical analysis of lexical units. Results. The results of the conducted research let us to conclude that color terms in both French and German languages are quite diverse from the national-cultural perspective and convey a high degree of intensity. Color perception is grounded on emotional impressions. All the color terms considered in the current article have positive as well as negative assessment, more rarely neutral. Practical implications. The outcomes of the study can be used in teaching lexicology, phraseology, stylistics, as well as within the field of linguistic and cultural studies of France and Germany.

This paper discusses (1) Roland Barthes' semiotic theory; and (2) its application in finding the Sufistic meaning of the signs of the word ism (noun) in nahwu science in the Alfiyah book by Ibn Malik. This research is a qualitative descriptive literature (library) with Roland Barthes's semiotic approach, in which the text is considered autonomous from its author (the dead of author), and the meaning is divided into how many levels. Therefore, this study concludes that (1) Roland Barthes' semiotic theory opens opportunities for multilevel meanings, where the first level is called denotation, and the second level is called connotation. The meaning of each is influenced by the imagination and feelings as well as socio-historical and mythological readers; and (2) the autonomization of the text makes the meaning which originally meant "nahwu" change into the meaning of tasawuf, which is a way of achieving privilege before Allah by applying the signs of ism, namely by (1) jarr (religious/ humble). ); (2) tanwi>n (having a strong desire, strong intention and consistent value in obedience); (3) nida>' (consistent recitation/remembrance of Allah physically and mentally); (4) alif + lam "al" (thinking positively and managing the heart from negative influences and gaining knowledge; and (5) musnad ilah (real charity and establishing good relations with fellow human beings, the universe, and the creator).

The comprehensive study of the title of the novel “Crime and Punishment” by F.M. Dostoevsky as a source of precedence in the texts of Russian media is presented. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to study fiction as a valuable source of precedence in modern media discourse. Manipulative nature of modern media implies the expansion of the spheres-sources of precedence, appealing to the cultural background of the Russian linguistic culture bearers. The authors prove that the formation of the actual media space is based on a wide set of connotatively marked linguistic means, used as a tool to influence the potential reader. On the example of the precedent construction “Crime and Punishment”, appealing to the title of the famous novel by F.M. Dostoevsky, semantic-pragmatic and transformational features of precedent constructions and the specificity of their associative potential in the perception and interpretation in the Russian linguistic culture are illustrated. The research material includes texts of electronic media covering international, state, and regional issues and problems from 2017 to 2022. The research results are ensured by a wide repertoire of publications reflecting various aspects of society and state development. The card index included contexts (corpus of 120 examples), objectifying important social, economic, and political problems for modern society. The component and contextual analysis, distributive method, linguistic modeling were applied. Further study of the precedent phenomena appealing to fiction could present a valuable fragment of the media picture of the world, including the corpus of texts significant for the Russian linguistic culture.

The use of colours in human communication and expression is deeply rooted in cultural values and symbolic meanings. White and black are two colours that hold significant cultural history and symbolism. This comparative study investigates the cultural connotative meanings of white and black in both Spanish and Arabic adages. By comparing the cultural connotations associated with white and black in Spanish and Arabic adages, the paper highlights the similarities and differences these colours invoke in their respective cultures. The comparative study examines the adages' context and cultural background to gain insights into how colours convey meanings and reflect cultural values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Representing specialized knowledge in the medical domain implies considering the dynamism of scientific and technological progress. The advancement of knowledge on diseases goes hand in hand with the reconceptualization processes undertaken by experts with consequent conceptual evolutions and possible variations of the terms used to designate medical concepts. Sometimes term variation is the result of a desire to avoid or overcome negative connotations anchored in medical terms, and leads to the creation of less evaluatively charged terms that carry a diminished ideological load. This study illustrates the case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a relatively under-/misdiagnosed medical condition which has been the object of multiple reconceptualizations by experts. We focus on the analysis of the conceptual evolution of BDD and the consequent variation occurring at the linguistic level. We adopt the theoretical assumption that terminology has a double dimension – conceptual and linguistic. Following on this assumption, the terminologist must examine both the experts' conceptualizations of a given domain and the discourses produced by them in order to effectively represent the specialized knowledge of a specific subject field. To complete the analysis, we present how information about BDD is disseminated to non-experts through the analysis of a corpus of mass-media articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the connotations that terms from the field of particle physics acquire when they determinologise. Based on a study performed on a comparable corpus composed of texts that represent various specialised, semi-specialised, and non-specialised communicative settings in French, different types of connotations are identified. The analysis sheds light on the diversity of positive and negative connotations terms can carry in semi-specialised and non-specialised texts, and the multiple factors that can influence the emergence of these connotations are discussed.
