Priorities of Systemic Linguistics

Lipatova T.V.

Abstract

Appeal to mechanisms of communication reveals an interaction in communicative act between pronounced and written units and their mental doubles reflected in psyche. The author maintains that “the inner form of a language as a whole” (W. von Humboldt) makes a nominative content and a predicative logic process in a sentence unique. The author proceeds from the methodology of scientific research within systemology as a strict distinction of nominative and communicative content aspects, correlation of directly unobserved domains of utterances with directly observed planes of language and non-language conscience and the most crucial thing - the inner form of language as a whole could be properly treated and investigated only within systemic linguistics and philosophical systemology.

It is thus concluded that a “live” word is of a multimodal (in its neurophysiologic sense) hypernetwork nature.

The article deals with a metaphoric perspective in the study of sociological terminology. Metaphor has long been widely used in reasoning and writing within humanitarian discourse.

Semenov A.L., Ershov V.I.

This study provides the method of visual and spatial representation of a discourse in its evolution.

Definition of Translation and Its Objects for Training Foreigners in Russian

Bragina M.A., Bulgarova B.A., Popovich I.Y.

Abstract

Translation theory has adopted to differentiate two values of the term translation: process and productive. Process as the first translation value is defined most often as a special type of speech activity. In this article translation is defined as the interconnected usage of receptive and productive types of speech activity; this is carried out for the reproductive purposes of replacing the interpreted text with equivalent text in the other language at a duplication already made or still ongoing communicative activity. The text received, as a result of such replacement, is bearing the second value of the term translation. The main criterion of the successful translation is the equivalence of the two texts. Equivalence is reached at different levels: 1) level of language signs (words); 2) statement level; 3) level (structures) of the message; 4) level of the description of a situation; 5) communication purpose level.

Abstract

Within the framework of a scientific discourse terminology plays some special role in various sciences, techniques, art area etc., representing, as a matter of fact, a basic element of scientific meta language. In the European tradition terminologies of different spheres of human activity are investigated in detail because there exists both scientific base of terminology science and practical experience of the specialized terminological dictionaries compiling.

Omelchenko V.V.

Abstract

The article deals with methodological aspects of a comprehensive comparative analysis of the root system and figurative meaning of words from various languages. In comparing words fundamental relations of identity were used: identities and differences, the various applications which are illustrated through different practical examples based on the use of words of Russian, Belarussian and Ukrainian languages and Sanskrit. On the basis of comparative analysis, it is concluded that the old Russian language and knowledge, which it keeps in its vocabulary and word-formation can be seen as some universal system of knowledge of ancient history. Moreover, it can be considered a kind of universal key to understanding the few miraculously surviving fragments of ancient Scriptures of the world. The proposed technique is based on applying a systematic approach which was used for the study and development of new interpretation of the many mysteries of the Rig Veda, the Avesta and the Book of Changes Vedic, Avestan and ancient Chinese cultures, which is reflected in scientific publications, including publishing group URSS (Editorial URSS), specializes in the production of educational and scientific literature.
