This study examines the vocalism of the Toles (Сholushman) dialect in comparison with the Altai-kizhi dialect and the Altaic literary language. The carriers of the Toles (Сholushman) dialect live compactly in the settlements of Balykcha, Koo of the Cholushman Valley, located on the southern coasts of the Teletskoye Lake. The phonetic structure of the Ulagan dialect in general and the Toles (Сholushman) dialect in particular were not the object of a special study before. In Altai linguistics and more widely - in turkology, the system of vowels of Toles (Сholushman) dialect is considered for the first time. For the first time the vocalism of this dialect is analyzed in comatative aspect. The topic is also relevant because the phonetic structure of an unknown language reveals, opening new directions in Altaic linguistics, introducing new material into Turkic science. According to the results of our research, the Ulagan dialect of the telengit language is divided into six dialects. Among them stands Toles (cholushman) dialect. Unlike the Altai language, in the Toles (Cholushman) dialect, in addition to the usual eight short vowels and their long correlates, a specific vowel sound of the mixed series [ä] and its long correlate are used. A specific feature of the Cholushman dialect, which distinguishes it from the Altai language, is the presence of diphthongs. The subject of this study are the short vowels of the Toles dialect. Short broad vowels in the Toles dialect are broader than in the Altai language; the labial vowels are more obliterated than in the Altai language. Comparative analysis by the subjective-auditory method made it possible not only to identify both the general features of the Toles (Cholushman) dialect with Altai-kizhi dialect and Altaic literary language, but also significant differences due to the articulatory and acoustic base of ethnoses.

The paper examines examples of comic textual components on the material that is based on a precedent phenomenon and can be sent to some precedent reading.The analyzed texts contain vocabulary, which can be conditionally divided into two groups: the vocabulary of Russian and other languages’ codes. These foreign language elements are frequency in the Internet space. One of the main questions is the study of some features of units interaction, which generates the process of bisociation.In the study of the comic, different directions are possible. Partly considering associative connections and turning to the process of bisociation, we also consider comic techniques. The logical-syntactic organization of statements demonstrates the principles of construction, which form certain methods.

The article discusses the history of the development of multilingualism, the urgency of studying this phenomenon. The paper presents the point of view of scientists on the problem of bi-multilingualism. The goals and objectives of the study are determined by the need for analysis of the phenomenon of children multilingualism in conditions of modern globalization. The result of this research is the practical guidelines for specialists working with bilingual children in a limited language environment. We suppose that deep understanding of the inner forms of language units, its cultural components help the students with their free communication in Russian. We make the assumption that the main goal of learning the language in a limited language environment is the process of formation of images of language consciousness.

This theoretical and experimental research paper focuses on the effect of both perception and memory images on word meaning of the image-verbalizing lexical unit. The research is aimed at solving the problem of speech act processing.Using such notions as perception, memory and representation images pave the way for better understanding of the non-verbal basis of thinking during analysis of thought verbalization, thus, setting the problem of dependence of understanding the same lexical unit that exteriorizes different mental images.To prove the hypothesis that there is a link between understanding and mental images verbalized by the same lexical unit, the authors conducted an experiment. Such a verification can be performed only using psychosemantic methods. Psychosemantic methods provide the researcher with the material for analysis of everyday consciousness, thus shedding light on the in-depth evaluation criteria of the objects in question.The basis for effective use of experimental psychosemantic methods was laid by a simple mathematical model of an individual consciousness called semantic space.The overall conclusion of this research is the following: understanding of a lexical unit depends on the mental image standing behind this lexical unit in context.

Paremiological units - proverbs and sayings - as one of the most ancient genres of the folk literature, represent language elements, verbalizing the concepts which have been formed in the nations’ consciousness and therefore reflecting the national peculiarities of the conceptualization of the world. Thereby the value system of the simultaneous bilinguals - people learning two languages from birth - is of special interest.The given article represents the results of the lingua-cultural analysis of Russian and Greek proverbs and sayings within the thematic group “Time” and describes the study of the national-cultural specificity of the folklore picture of the world of Russian-Greek bilinguals living in Cyprus, based on the experiment aimed at the detection of the capability to understand Russian and Greek paremiological units by the bilingual children of 12-15 years old.

To identify the features of the speech texture of the creative personality (in this case bilingual), it is important to analyze stylistic figures, figurative means, syntactic constructions, the general framework of the text. This article analyzes several essays of Kazakh publicist, historian Mukhtar Kul-Mukhammed. In addition to the analysis of language tools, all the lexical units used in the five essays were calculated to determine the nucleus of the thesaurus of the author. From the 20 most commonly used lexemes of the thesaurus core, the concept of “enlightenment” is highlighted, around which the remaining words are grouped.

The paper addresses the issues related to the peculiarities of teaching a new course called Russian Culture via English to Linguistics majors within the M.A. degree program at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Area Studies of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The need for the course that was introduced in 2016 stems from the fact that in the era of translingualism and transculturalism there is a pressing necessity to teach linguists, future-to-be teachers of English, able to communicate and teach in formation about their own Russian culture as well as to express their own national identity via English, specifically Russian English, in order for them to be fully competent professionals. The paper primarily focuses on the course syllabus and objectives, lesson format as well as techniques and materials used in the classroom.

The article deals with problems in teaching compatriots children that live abroad, in particular in Italy. The author shares the successful experience of using teaching materials by Е.М. Chamraevaya, L.M. Samatovaya and V.V. Dronov.

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of Belarusian-Russian bilingualism in poems of Russian-speaking poets of Belarus. The material of the study is poetic texts of Russian-speaking poets of Belarus. The main scientific methods are observation, description, analysis and interpretation of selected literary texts. In the article it is proved that in the Russian poetry of Belarus differences in the realization of the Russian language in Russia and Belarus are revealed through the use of Belarusian lexical means by the Belarusian poets, and, most importantly, there is a specific expansion and deepening of the semantics of the existing Russian tokens by filling them with the Belarusian spirit, culture and perception of the world.

The author of article considers the possibilities of hypertext technologies for studying intertextual elements of Olzhas Suleimenov’s lyrics. Initial thought is the statement that the modern Internet has generated new opportunities of Net-thinking. The hypertext as a way of interpretation of literary text allows to reveal not only the features of poetics of this text, but also to consider it in interrelation with poetic traditions of many cultures and times. The author of the paper offers the version of using the hypertext technologies studying units of intertextuality in Olzhas Suleimenov’s poem.

This article deals with the problem of translation of the title of Ch. Aytmatov’s novel “Farewell, Gulsary” (on the Kyrgyz language - “Janibarym Gulsarym”) from the Russian language into the English and the German languages; the semantic-stylistical contents, which are put forward in the title of the text are compared on the Kyrgyz, the Russian languages and translation of the title on the English, the German languages. There is drawn a conclusion, that the semantic-stylistical foregrounding in the title of the novel on the Kyrgyz language, on the one side, and on the Russian, on the English, on the German languages, on the other side, are filled with different content: cherishing, admiration for nobility of horse in the Kyrgyz language; farewell, future uncertainty -in the Russian, in the English, in the German languages. Semantics of a noble animal - horse (in the Kyrgyz janybar) is represented in the Kyrgyz language in the title of the text. The notion stallion and mare aren’t put forward in other three languages («Прощай, Гульсары»; “Farewell, Gulsary”; “Abschied von Gulsary”). Reader realizes it the process of reading the novel.

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of professional translator’s bilinguism from the point of view of sociolinguistics. The correlation between the types of translator’s mistakes and the degree of translator’s language skills, his/her professional experience and sociolect nature of the source text are analyzed. The article deals with a specific substandard fragment of the Russian language - Soviet prison speech, which is studied with the method of sociolinguistic analysis. The major results of our research are as follows: the evaluation of the degree of a translator’s professional bilingualism should take into account polysocilectal nature of the language of the source/target language. Furthermore, it requires from the translator mastering of the two types of “intralinguistic capacity”: excellent knowledge of both literary and substandard (sociolect) varieties of the source language, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the knowledge of the target language and skills in handling the specificity of the original sociolect text if there are no lexical means for its rendering into the target language.

Teaching Russian as a foreign language is based on the psycholinguistic concept of activity, which meets the target focus on education and the desire of students to reach the level of bilingual personality. This article is devoted to the urgent problem of the development of discursive competence in educational activity, “immersing” students in a stream of live and personally meaningful communication. The main focus is on educational discourse, which is initiated by the teacher and unfolds as vociferous polilog where every judgment is important and interesting. Thus, shifting the emphasis from classroom mining lexical and grammatical material onto personally interested communicating with this material. With this approach, much of the work on the development of language competence is performed during extracurricular time with the help of specially designed computer software.
