Part of Experimental Researches in Nationally Addressed Lexicography (on the Material of Russian-Mongolian Comparisons)

Mamontov A.S., Tzedendorjiin E., Boguslavskaya V.V.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to research significance of experimental procedures usage, in particular so called “psychosemantic” approach in process of nationally addressed educational dictionaries for foreign students, studying language as cross-cultural communication means creation, including a dictionary of values for foreigners. In concrete case we are speaking about the Mongolian students, studying Russian and, accordingly, Russian culture. The investigation is based on principles of comparative Russian-Mongolian cultural values description, received by experimental way. Necessary to underline that in comparative description of the values content it is expediently to proceed from, that content of any linguistic unit is formed by contextual meaning of this unit. Every unit functions in some contexts, therefore in description of any lingual unit usage it is expediently to take into consideration maximum number of context types. In our opinion, it is possible to speak about existence of so-called “Mongolian’s and Russian’s values”. The last plays a considerable role in nationally addressed lexicography (NAL).

Ethnocultural Identity of Migrants from the Eastern Regions of the former USSR in the Light of “Clash of Cultures” Theory

Khilkhanova E.V., Khilkhanov D.L.

Abstract

The article presents some results of the project, the purpose of which was to study the processes of definition and (re)construction of ethnic identity and its relationship with the language and culture of Asian migrants from the former USSR. The results are analyzed in terms of differences in cultures and values as the most important part of culture. This once again tests the universality of the theories of “clash of civilizations” and “clash of cultures” by S. Huntington and R. Lewis. The author comes to the conclusion that, first, cultural identity, unlike ethnic identity, is subject to transformation and at the same time it is stable. Secondly, the difference of cultures (“Eastern” and “Western”) exists and is perceived at the level of cultural values and norms, but it is not of a conflict, antagonistic nature. The conclusion explains the reasons for this in the light of the above-mentioned theories.

How Far Does the Process of Language Hybridization Go in a Translingual Situation?

Temirgazina Z.K.

Abstract

The article concerns the problem of the dominant language influence in the translingual language competence on the phonetic system of the second language. How intensive can this influence be in a translingual situation? As most researchers say, languages in the processes of transculturation and translinguism are to a certain extent intelligible. In our opinion, it concerns the content aspects of language and speech, which are capable of generating new discourses: lexis, grammar, syntax, word formation. The phonetic level as a building material for content units should not be affected in the process of translinguism, because in this case we can no longer talk about translinguism as a noncontradictory tendency in the contact coexistence of two languages and cultures.

Fakhrutdinova L.I., Amineva V.R.

Abstract

The Russian reader, who doesn’t know tatar language, can get to know A. Yeniki’s works only through their translated versions, that is why we need to analyze structural features of and the content of the translated texts in the aspect of cross-literary communication and dialogue. Jenre-stylistic transformations of the authentic work in the translated texts are revealed on the base of their comparative analysis.

Peculiarities of Reconstructing Russian Rhyme in English Translations

Sycheva A.V.

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of preserving the rhyme traditional for Russian poetry in translations into English. A brief analysis of Russian and foreign linguists’ works on the theory and practice of poetic translation shows that rhyme in English poetry does not play such a significant role as it does in Russian poetry. Opinions of English-speaking readers coincide with the opinion of translators. However, adequate versions of Russian poems in English with preservation of rhymes of original verses are the preferred type of poetic translation. The article deals with the problem of preserving the rhyme, characteristic of Russian poetry, in translations into English. The purpose of this scientific research is to conduct a brief analysis of the works of Russian and foreign linguists on the theory and practice of poetic translation to reveal the role and significance of the category of rhyme in English and Russian poetry. The author pays special attention to the opinion of translators of Russian poetry into English and English-speaking readers of translated Russian lyrics in the context of preserving rhyme or deviation from it. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that rhyme does not play such a significant role for foreign linguists and translators as it does for their Russian-speaking counterparts. A more attractive form of poetry for them is vers libre. Consequently, the issues of rhyme reproduction for English translators are not of paramount importance. The main emphasis is on the meaning of the translated text, not its form. Opinions of English-speaking readers coincide with the opinion of translators. In addition, the article presents summary information of the conducted comparative linguistic analysis of 275 poems by B. Okudzhava and their originals. The analysis shows that in percentage terms the number of rhymed translations from the total number of translated texts is about 40%. However, the overwhelming number of English translations of poems Okudzhava - about 60% - belongs to unrhymed translations. Nevertheless, the author of the article emphasizes the need to preserve rhyme in translations as an integral part of the Russian classical verse and believes that adequate versions of Russian poems in English with preservation of original rhyme are the preferred type of poetic translation.

The Bottle Inscribed with “X”, or Search for the Unknown in Alisa Ganieva’s Novel “The Groom and the Bride”

Shafranskaya E.F.

Abstract

The plot of Alisa Ganieva’s novel “The Groom and the Bride” is built around the expected and failed wedding. given against the background of everyday Russian-speaking non-Russian life. The article considers a narrative series woven from Quranic and Sufi images and motifs which can be considered as one of the intrigues of the novel. The author of the article tries to “decipher” the Muslim subtext of the novel, which, presumably, is not accidental. In particular, the mythopoetics of the image of Khalilbek is examined, perforating for all texts of Alisa Ganieva (“Salam, Dalgat”, “Shaitans”, etc.), whose roots lead to the Quranic metatext, namely to the image of Khidr (or Khizir-Bobo). Whether the writer’s intention coincides with the reader’s perception is argued by the author of the article.

Polylingualism and Transliterality in the Context of Hamid Ismailov’s Metafictional Strategy

Garipova G.T.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying meta-consciousness of the contemporary writer Hamid Ismailov in the context of contemporary theories of polylingualism and transliterature. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the specificity of Hamid Ismayilov’s meta-consciousness in the system of categories polylingualism, translinguism, polyliterarity with an exit to the author’s aesthetics of transliterarity. On the basis of the bilingual text “GEORGY CHEGODAEV: the Second soul or a Letter to London” specific markers of Hamid Ismayilov’s metaprose are identified, which allow to define him as a writer of polylingual, polyliterarity, whose estesis is predetermined by the EastRussian-Western transculturation. Translingualism is designated not as a conceptual definition of his work, but as a trend of the author’s integrated poetics. This approach is in correlation with theory of D. Durisin allows to remove the identification of contradictions.

Difficult Сases in Teaching Foreign Students Borrowed Vocabulary (Language of the Media)

Afanasieva N.D., Zakharchenko S.S., Mogileva I.B.

Abstract

The article is devoted to one of the important aspects of teaching Russian as a foreign language at the University - work with media materials. The authors note that overcoming such linguistic difficulties as a variety of word-formation models, expressive-evaluative vocabulary, the use of polysemous words, phraseological units, is not enough for an adequate understanding of the texts, and therefore pay attention to such a group of vocabulary as borrowings. Considering the peculiarities of their use, the authors note borrowed and international words with different connotations in different languages.
