Science
- Introduced the concept of the intertextual component of the lingvo-mental personality of the translator of scientific texts. It was shown that the ratio of the translator’s language and background knowledge directly affects the effectiveness of scientific communication in cross-language communication with the participation of a translator.
- Applied the anthropocentric classification of lexical composition to scientific texts.
Scientific interests
- Theory and practice of translation;
- Cross-language intercultural communication.
- Scientific communication.
- Comparative linguistics.
- Romano-Germanic linguistics.
In recent decades, in the light of globalization processes particular role attributed to scientific articles as one of the most efficient means of cross-cultural cross-linguistic scientific communication dynamizing creation of new concepts, categories, theories, and scientific values, including those based on interdisciplinarity, has reinforced complex issues concerning equivalence of thesauruses of communication participants and structuring of the information flow.
Cognitive approach to semiotic and functional potential of ecological discourse, to the structures of knowledge and conventional ways of objectivization thereof within cognitive environment, to linking or relating knowledge of field data with language competence enhance motivation of Ph.D. students to participate in cross-linguistic cross-cultural scientific communication.
Foreign language teachers are now actively using modern technologies to the detriment of others, which are no less effective and perform successfully the functions of arts and cultural education. Teaching a foreign language for special purposes (ESP) is not often connected to works of art and has no practical application in professional communication skills training. The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of the application of art in ESP teaching. ESP teaching by means of art education is an effective mean of enhancing students’ linguistic, professional, and cultural competencies and contributes to increasing the motivation to learn a foreign language.
The article deals with structural, semantic, etymological and linguocultural features of toponymic nominations in New Zealand. It is shown that the choice of a toponym in New Zealand as a carrier of meaningful information is the result of the intertwining of many extralinguistic factors.
Background: Difficulties of the earliest stages' detection of erythrocytes' microrheological abnormalities' development at obesity are connected with falling out of clinicians' field of view of persons with first signs of this pathology. It dictates the necessity of experimental investigations' fulfillment on laboratory animals with just developed obesity in them. Earlier in this pathology, there was shown high efficiency of non-medication impacts in relation lowering of the value of body mass and weakening of thrombocyte and vascular dysfunctions. At the same time, there is still no clarity in the question about the impact of regular exercise on erythrocytes' microrheological features at the beginning of obesity development.
The article deals with specific nature of scientific discourse, which increasingly invokes the phenomenon of intertextuality and preconditions special relevance of cognitive text forming mechanisms aimed at ensuring scientific text perception and comprehension in what concerns semiotic and functional potential thereof.
The study highlights benefits of early language learning experience where teaching needs to be conducted as a manner that accords with how students learn an L2 through their milestones in a common knowledge and linguistic environment. The students who made their L2 early start reported no difficulties in studying with its effectiveness for learner differences while achieving programme learning outcomes. All the teachers obtained lots of precious experience and also claimed stretching their nursery students linguistic resources to meet their communication needs.
This article offers fundamental comparative-situational models of dynamic interaction of conceptual systems of the author, translator and the addressee within mediated cross-cultural cross-linguistic communication that ascertain the interrelationship of linguistic, cognitive, and cultural factors relevant to scientific communication with due regard for circumstances and situational conditions of a given act of communication.
The aim of this article is to compare cognitive and discursive characteristic features of Russian, Spanish and English concepts, to analyze relevant specificities of their functioning in mediated discourse in order to elaborate a strategy designed to preserve implicatures of the source text drawing distinction between specific national and universal features of presuppositions in human interaction while determining the semantic invariant viewed through the prism of translation norm of adequacy and equivalence and the phenomenon of intertextuality.
Linguistics and cognitive science correlations viewed in the light of meaning, communication and translation issues provide new insight into comparative study of principles regarding cognitive structuring and linguistic presenting of knowledge and human experience which are conceived to guarantee not only the comprehension and mutual understanding in the cross-cultural communication, but also the efficacy of this dynamic and complex process itself.
