Analysis of the Literary Text's Conceptosphere in the Process of Teaching Literary Translation

AbstractThe paper is devoted to the problem of the concept “painting” realization in the “Moon and sixpence” by S. Maugham. It is argued that application of cognitive discourse analysis and analysis of the conceptosphere of the literary text is helpful in overcoming difficulties in interpretation of the original literary text. Various methods of studying literary text existing in modern methodology are shown. The contribution of Russian and foreign science in determining approaches to the analysis of communicative and cognitive components of the text and application of interdisciplinary approaches and consideration of cultural aspects of literary texts of the target language are emphasized. The need for incorporating development of important translational competences into the process of carrying out cognitive-discourse analysis of the literary text is demonstrate

Teaching Literary Translation on the Basis of the Literary Text's Cognitive Discourse Analysis

AbstractThe traditional approaches to discourse's definition, the role of cognitive linguistics in work with literary texts on foreign languages and the translation lessons, the theoretical bases of discourse analysis, and also study of the text through a prism of cognitive approach are shown in our research paper. The method of teaching literary translation on the basis of cognitive discourse analysis of the text is also presented, given its scientific justification, which is efficiency confirmed in practice as a result of shown skilled and experimental work. Also, the system of the exercises and tasks directed on the formation of the corresponding competences is described in our research paper

Vasilii Belov and the Russian idea

Vasilii Ivanovich Belov (1932-2012) was one of the most wellknown and outspoken of the ‘village writers’ who came to prominence in the Soviet Union in the 1960s, and in the age of ‘glasnost’ and post-Soviet times attracted much attention and even vilification for his nationalist and apparently xenophobic views. In his documentary account of village life and customs published in the journal Nash sovremennik between 1979 and 1982, and subsequently in illustrated book form, Belov provides in great detail and with much personal warmth the history of the northern Russian village, its people, customs and way of life as it has developed over the centuries, showing a place seemingly outside of time and untouched by historical developments. Lad: ocherki o narodnoi estetike may yet prove to be his most enduring contribution to post-Soviet reflections on ‘the Russian idea’, and Russia’s relationship with Europe

Humanitarian meaning of university professional education

In the 20th century, the university faced a principally new type of cultural development and there was a necessity of transformation to get adapted to new conditions. Change of cultural epochs lead to a change in criteria and principles conditioning the university education system. Largely it affected “externally invisible and inaudible” factor, “the fluid of spiritual life” of the university, “human immaterial sub-basis” of its existence (Jaspers, 2006) - its humanitarian meaning.

Integrating past and present methodologies of teaching foreign languages

this article argues for the importance of subject integration by presenting certain examples of the practical and professional translation of technical texts from Russian into English. It is intended to facilitate the teaching of technical translation to students at an advanced level of their instruction, including on Masters courses. It does not pretend to offer any theoretical perspectives or insights into translation theory, but rather highlights the need for contextualization in professional translation practice. And its pedagogical implications. The challenge of contextualization is demonstrated in the Russian lexis and syntax facing the translator into English. The register chosen is the translation of medical terminology, though the paradigms proposed may naturally apply to other technical text

Modern Britain:new realities and challenges 2000-2020 : textbook

This textbook presents authentic English-language materials covering the major incidents and facts in British society since 2000. We begin with several important events that have had a lasting impact on the evolution of the British state, such as the Magna Carta, the creation of Parliament, and the establishment and expansion of the British Empire, and the retreat from it. Subsequent chapters provide discussion materials on contemporary topical issues, such as the 2016 referendum on the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union (‘Brexit’), political and social history since 1945, and the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, with its heavy toll on human life and the reputation of the British political establishment. The book ends with a text speculating on the United Kingdom as viewed from a foreign perspective as a failed state that has succumbed to nationalism, social division and consequent economic decline. The book includes extensive background notes and suggestions for group and individual study. This textbook is intended for students in higher educational institutions studying English language, life and society, and for the general reader interested in modern Britain

Clinical considerations and key issues in the management of patients with Erdheim-Chester Disease: A seven case series

Background: Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD), a non Langerhans' cell histiocytosis of orphan nature and propensity for multi-systemic presentations, comprises an intricate medical challenge in terms of diagnosis, treatment and complication management. Objectives: The objectives are to report the clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics, as well as cardinal therapeutic approaches to ECD patients and to provide clinical analyses of the medical chronicles of these complex patients. Methods: Patients with biopsy proven ECD were audited by a multi-disciplinary team of specialists who formed a coherent timeline of all the substantial clinical events in the evolution of their patients' illness. Results: Seven patients (five men, two women) were recruited to the study. The median age at presentation was 53 years (range: 39 to 62 years). The median follow-up time was 36 months (range: 1 to 72 months). Notable ECD involvement sites included the skeleton (seven), pituitary gland (seven), retroperitoneum (five), central nervous system (four), skin (four), lungs and pleura (four), orbits (three), heart and great vessels (three) and retinae (one). Prominent signs and symptoms were fever (seven), polyuria and polydipsia (six), ataxia and dysarthria (four), bone pain (four), exophthalmos (three), renovascular hypertension (one) and dyspnea (one). The V600E BRAF mutation was verified in three of six patients tested. Interferon-α treatment was beneficial in three of six patients treated. Vemurafenib yielded dramatic neurological improvement in a BRAF mutated patient. Infliximab facilitated pericardial effusion volume reduction. Cladribine improved cerebral blood flow originally compromised by perivenous lesions. Conclusions: ECD is a complex, multi-systemic, clonal entity coalescing both neoplastic and inflammatory elements and strongly dependent on impaired RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling
