The purpose of the paper is to study the peculiarities of implementation of such textual categories as completeness, connectivity, dialogization in electronic letter. Object of study is electronic correspondence and the subject is the style, structure, syntax of letters. Material of the research includes published letters of the Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor R. G. Barantsev to colleagues and friends, as well as their response letters. Descriptive method, methods of contextual and communicative-pragmatical analysis are used in the research. Practical application of the research is possible while teaching the syntax and stylistics of Russian language. Conclusion: speech implementation of a number of textual categories in electronic letters has its own characteristics. Such boundary demarcators of the epistolary text as address, signature, etiquette formulas of greeting and farewell are reducing (in whole or in part) if the exchange of messages is frequent, thereby the formal completeness of the text is weakening. The dialogization in electronic correspondence is formed not only by the linguistic means typical for written messages (address, signature, pronouns and verb forms of the 2nd person), but also in other ways, such as direct quotation instead of transmitting someone else's speech as direct or indirect speech, language game as a stylistic device that forms a certain tone of communication. The widespread use of incomplete and one-compound sentences, pronouns that are not related to the antecedent, increases the importance of common apperception base of the participants in communication for understanding the text and continuing the epistolary dialogue. Specifying the subject of speech by pronouns with the absence of its introductory nomination in a letter, sending to previous texts of the correspondence by pronouns and particles, stylistic unity within the chain of letters exchanged between two correspondents are the means that enhance the coherence of the text, extend it beyond a separate letter and transform the exchange of monologue  texts into a continuous epistolary discourse.

The purpose of the study is to define the lexical and grammatical features of the final etiquette formulas in Russian letters of the 18th century, to describe the functional and semantic types of formulas, to characterize their syntactic structure. The object of study is letters addressed to different persons by the outstanding Russian commander A. V. Suvorov and Princess E. R. Dashkova. The research material is 120 enclosed etiquette formulas extracted from letters with a continuous sampling method. The descriptive method of research has been used in the article. Practical application is possible in the process of teaching the stylistics of the Russian language. Conclusions: The final etiquette formulas are an important structural element of the ending of a letter, usually preceding the signature of the addressee. We have identified the following functional-semantic types of final etiquette formulas in Russian letters of the 18th century: 1) formulas of forgiveness; 2) formulas of wishes (wishes of physical and mental health, God's help and blessing); 3) parakinesthetic final etiquette formulas (verbal transmission of a gesture or an action); 4) honorific final etiquette formulas (direct or indirect indication by the addressor the addressee's positive qualities). The basis of the construction of the final etiquette formulas often lies in one or another speech cliche, however these cliches are spread by dependent syntactic components, as a result of which the final etiquette formulas in the letters under study are diverse in their syntactic structure. The perspective of the present study is in the research of the dynamics of the final etiquette formulas of writing in the epistolary of the 18th – 20th centuries, as well as in a more detailed explanation of the pragmatics and functioning of the etiquette formulas depending on the nature of the communicative situation.

The article reconstructs semantic context (evaluation, movement, actions, etc.) of WE and THEY – two usual subjects of the Russian linguistic worldview. Monologues and dialogues recently collected in Krasnoyarsk reveal the main characteristics of this opposition. A relatively big number of contexts have indefinite-personal verb forms such as [they] “buy”, “make”, “climb”, “cover up for”, “turn”, “serve”, “locate”, “repair”, “accommodate”, etc. Due to their grammar and semantic realization in the oral speech they are included in the syntactic connection with the personal pronoun “they” – the representative form of some indefinite collective subject. This group of predicates, as well as their closest linguistic entourage, “tells” about the circumstances and details of “Their” actions, “Their” characteristics and “Their” partners, forming the distinctive specificity of the text content. In the same contexts there happens to be no less active collective subject – the author’s “We”. “We” and “They” are realized in different event-based and qualitative interactions, given by spatial and temporal coordinates, where these two “characters” distinguished by linguistic consciousness live and act. This semantic field in the Russian language common worldview is divided into several parts, for example: power environment, professional environment, inter-ethnic communication, sacred communication, etc. As a result, the indistinctive subject “They” developed by the indefinite personal form of the verbal predicate and the pronoun “There” turn out to be only a mask – superficial uncertainty. It is easily removed by the subsequent context and specified through the parameters “place” (for example, “in power”, “at work”), “social status of the subject” (“officials”, “bosses”, “the rich”, “owners”), “the character of the situation” (irrational, useless action – or rightful, useful for “Us”, ordinary members of the community, “folks”, “people”). The grammatical uncertainty itself is transformed into semantic markers of two definite evaluations – evaluations of distrust and unbelonging (often in relation to “Them”) and self-evaluations of rightness and sympathy (often in relation to the subject “We”)

The purpose of the study is to identify and to describe the lexical-semantic groups of the names of mining artefacts that are included in the conceptual subcategory of “Machines”. The object of study is Russian terms-names of mining technical artifacts, the subject is their lexical and semantic groups. The purpose of the study determined the range of tasks: 1) to characterize the method of “Machines” subcategory formation; 2) to identify lexical-semantic groups of machine names; 3) to define the reference terms within the selected lexical-semantic groups. The research material is a corpus of mining technical artifacts with a total volume of more than 3,600 units, formed on the basis of a continuous review of encyclopedic reference books on mining, mining encyclopedia, polytechnical dictionaries of the Russian language, textbooks, manuals and reference books on mining, mining machines, mining complexes for open and underground mining, etc. The following methods have been used: analytical method, quantitative calculation method, component analysis method. As a result of the study, lexical-semantic groups of mining technical artifacts related to the conceptual subcategory “Machines” are identified and described. Practical application of the results is possible in further studies of the category of nomination in the Russian language. Conclusions: 1) the subcategory of “Machines”, represented in our sampling by 1330 lexical units, contains 17 lexical-semantic groups; 2) the basic components of the general technical nature, such as machine, machine-tool, conveyor, combine, and more specialized ones, such as excavator and dredge, possess the greatest nominative potential in various LSG of the subcategory under investigation; 3) in general, each of the LSG and nominative paradigms are open systems, headed by the subcategory name and completed by numerous nomenclature classes.

The object of this article is the language game in its various manifestations. The subject of this research is the proverbs and sayings of the Swahili language, in which the author attempts to trace the linguistic phenomenon. Special attention is given to various means of language game at different language levels. The goal is to determine whether it is possible to interpret the term “language game” in a broad sense, as well as the extent of application of such linguistic tool in proverbs and sayings of the Swahili language. The article explores different perspectives upon the concept of language game. Analysis is conducted on the Swahili paroemias that demonstrate different ways of language game. The survey results carried out among the native speakers of Swahili are presented. This article is the first to analyze the ways of realization of language game in proverbs and sayings of the Swahili language on the various linguistic levels. The author demonstrates the examples from the corpus of Swahili paroemias, which were translated into the Russian language for the first time. The conclusion is made that language game takes place not only in the written texts, but also in folklore, which indicates that alongside a writer or a linguist, the author of the language game can also be a native speaker. It is underlined hat versatility is also characteristic to the Swahili language paroemias.

Objective of the study is to identify the hierarchical relations between communicative units that fill the Russian-language text. The object of study is the hierarchy as the sequential inclusion of some syntactic units into the other, more complex ones, the subject is Russian-language texts with syntactic constructions of various rank of hierarchies. The material of the study is twenty Russian-language texts containing communicative units which are built according to different models. Methods – descriptive, structural and quantitative methods were used. Findings:  the sequence of occurrence in the text of predicative formations of varying complexity was revealed. Practical value – is possible in studies of the organization of the text as a syntactic unit. The realities of the language, as is well known, far from always can correspond to canonized judgments, interpretations and formulations, including those stated in official scientific, educational and reference editions. In a super-phrasal unity, there may not be complex sentences, and not only a super-phrasal unity or a complex sentence can function as a text as a syntactic unit, but a sentence can be simple and even a separate word, which can also be a communicative unit under certain conditions. Results: 1) the components of the text are predicative communicative units; 2) the formally expected vector of the hierarchy of communicative units should presumably have the following form: a simple sentence – a complex sentence – a superphrase unity – a text; 3) communicative units of the subsequent hierarchical rank due to their anti-transitivity are not always built directly from the units of the previous and preceding rank; 4) the order of location of the communicative units of different hierarchical levels, that fill the text is not strictly regulated and can be almost spontaneous, with multiple duplication of the same models.


The purpose of this study is to identify and systematize speech-behavioral situations (SBS) and speech-cultural scripts (scenarios) (SCS) of intentional paronymy, which traditionally include paronomasia and paronymic attraction, in the Russian linguocultural space. The object of study is paronyms used intentionally in various speech-behavioral situations of the Russian linguocultural space. The subject of the research is the originality of the system of speech-behavioral situations and the speech-cultural scripts caused by them provided that paronymy is intentionally used. The facts were investigated based on the Russian paronyms dictionaries. As a result of the work carried out, it was possible to show that in situations of intentional paronymy, two types of speech-behavioral tactics (SBT) can be used: the tactics of intentional paronymic replacement / substitution / error and the tactics of artistic design of speech. The author's conclusions are as follows: firstly, speech-behavioral situations of the intentional use of paronymy arising in the tactics of intentional paronymic substitution / error are a slip of the tongue, a misspelling, a mishearing, a misreading with possible speech-cultural scenarios of jokes, satire, irony, humorous or comic overtones, as well as overtones of condemnation, resentment, humiliation, ridicule, adventure, deception and others. In this case, only the wrong component of the paronymic opposition organized according to the principle of the „right” // „wrong” dichotomy is used. An exception is the mishearing situation, where both components of the paronymic pair are represented. Secondly, speech-behavioral situations arising in the tactics of artistic design of speech using paronymy are patronymic convergence and paronymic rhyming. These two speech-behavioral situations are accompanied by a speech-cultural script of enhancing the artistry and / or expressiveness of the text and the SCS of described assessment. In speech-behavioral situations of patronymic convergence and paronymic rhyming, at least two components of the paronymic series are represented, since intentional paronymy appears in these situations as a binary stylistic device.

The subject under research is the relevant, but insufficiently studied phenomenon of onomastic reflection. The aim is to identify the specifics of onomastic reflexives in the space of fairy-tale texts of V.P. Krapivin in the aspect of language game. The works of V.P.  Krapivin (which he himself denoted as Krapivin’s tales) served as the source. Onomastic constructions (more than 1,500 units), included in the reflexive context of the author’s vision of the proper name, became the material of the research. Contextual and component analysis, as well as the techniques of the descriptive method (observation, interpretation, and systematization) are the main research methods. Based on the material of Krapivin’s texts, the heuristic nominativeness, onomastic loading of texts were first examined from the standpoint of the presentation of the estimated information contained in the metalinguistic statements-reflections on the proper name. The specificity of the studied reflexives is that they can be either explicitly or implicitly expressed estimations, coupled with different textual parameters — from the word-onym (quasi-reflexive) through the onomastic phrase to the detailed evaluative characteristic of the onomastic construction. A special feature of Krapivin’s onym is to be found in the author’s desire to show various functional facets of a proper name: onym-nominative — onym-characterizer. The manifestation of the reflective beginning in the text is carried out in various ways: by directly commenting on the proper name using special lexical means, syntactic constructions, as well as through its graphic (orthofraphic), phonetic design, structuring of the component composition. Associative links of the name, manifested through onomastic reflexives, create the effect of onomastic games.

This article describes the connection between perfect verb forms and the typical lexical meanings of generating imperfectives using the example of a prefix model in the Russian language. The research is based on a fundamentally new approach, i.e. the means of “fixing” action in the objective time. The relevance of combining the action and the situational background to the lexical-semantic groups of verbs is established. In the course of the research, the materials of the Bolshoi Akademichescky Slovar (Big Academic Dictionary) were used.
