Shaklein V.M., Lonskaya A.A. Analysis of cultural and thematic fields "the Vietnamese" and "the Enemy" in the Soviet print media in describing of the beginning of the war in Vietnam.
The article deals with identifying characteristic features of cultural and thematic fields "Vietnamese" and "enemy" in the Soviet printed media when describing the outbreak of war in Vietnam. The relevance of the work is connected with the analysis of linguocultural details, expressed by lexical units and used for broadcasting certain political ideas about the war in Vietnam on the pages of Soviet newspapers in the 1960s. The research resulted in selecting, analysing, classifying and describing the list of lexemes, included in the cultural and thematic fields "the Vietnamese" and "the Enemy". The aim of this work was to reveal the characteristic features of the cultural and thematic fields. The main methods of research included linguocultural analysis, complex stylistic analysis, observation, continuous sampling, classification, descriptive and comparative methods. The material of the research included the texts of the articles of the newspaper "Pravda" of May-June 1965.
Ivanov D. I., Shaklein V. M., Mitrofanova I. I., Mikova S. S., Deryabina S. A. Specificity of the discourse of the Russian musical rock culture and the logocentric model of the synthetic language personality
The article is devoted to the complex of important questions, connected with the study of rock culture as a specific open discursive system, genetically inscribed in the space of Russian national culture. The main purpose of this work is to determine the most promising ways and means of complex analysis of the phenomenon in the context of modern humanitarian knowledge. The terms "culturology", "discourse", "synthetic text", "rock text" are clarified. As a result of the study the conclusion is made that the rock song is created and realized in an inseparable unity of poetry, melody, musical rhythm, vocals, the audience factor, stage behaviour, so the rock text is naturally thought of as a synthetic one. Such a text cannot be adequately understood and studied within narrow disciplinary frameworks; moreover, its very essential nature and configuration cannot become the subject of study by individual scientific disciplines. In order to comprehend a developing integral cultural phenomenon of such a scale, one needs the "frame" of cultural studies, where one or another methodological strategy is implemented, in particular linguocultural strategy, which organically combines the study of speech activity with its cultural projection.

Shaklein V.M., Mikova S.S. National aspect of the linguistic personality of a modern teacher of Russian as a foreign language.
The change of scientific paradigms, which took place at the end of the 20th-beginning of the 21st century, made a thinking, speaking and listening personality the centre of linguistic research. Modern anthropocentric paradigm of scientific knowledge influences pedagogical concepts, in particular, ideas about the personality of a teacher and a student. In this regard, the study of the features of the linguistic personality of the teacher stays relevant, in particular the issues of parameterization of the linguistic personality for its evaluation and improvement of the effectiveness of educational interaction, in the framework of professional development courses. The article is devoted to the influence of a teacher's linguistic personality on the linguistic personality of students. Particular attention is paid to the national aspect of the investigated linguistic personality.
Shaklein V.M., Lan N.F. Informative component of winged expressions in A.S. Griboedov's comedy "Woe from Wit" from the position of Vietnamese linguistic tradition. Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism. 2017. Vol. 6. №: 3. pp. 388-405.
A large number of phrases from the comedy "Woe from Wit" by A.S. Griboyedov are winged expressions. Even now they have not lost their relevance, thanks, among other things, to the semantic precision, emotional expressiveness, the peculiarities of national and cultural semantics. This is confirmed by numerous examples of using the quotations from the comedy in the media, from newspapers of the first quarter of the 19th century to modern Internet texts. The national specificity of understanding the meaning of these expressions is based on the cultural and historical background, the traditions of Russian society. The Russian and Vietnamese languages have a significant number of similar features in the semantic content of winged expressions. This helps to better understand the content of Griboyedov's text. In both languages the very notion of "winged expression" has a similar definition. The different understanding of winged expressions in the Russian and Vietnamese linguistic cultures is caused by the fact that the representatives of the Vietnamese linguistic culture perceive their meaning in the context of a close relationship with the traditions, culture, philosophy, religion, past and present of Vietnam.

The naturalness is understood here in culturological and historical aspects, taking into account the status-quo of these territories formed at the end of XX - beginning of XXI centuries.
Shaklein V. M., Cui Liwei, Mikova S. S. Linguistic and cultural images of Russia and China in the artistic works of the representatives of the Russian Far Eastern emigration: monograph. - Voronezh, 2017. - 170 p.
The monograph examines the peculiarities of linguistic means of linguocultural images of Russia and China in the works of Russian poets and writers who emigrated after the events of 1917 to China. The authors specify the meaning of the term "linguocultural image" in connection with the image of the country, created by the units of the literary text, analyze the role of different linguistic means - non-equivalent, connotative, background vocabulary, proper names - in creating such images. The authors trace the relationship between the means of creating linguocultural images of countries and universal linguocultural categories "their own - foreign".
