10.00.00 Philological sciences
Description
The article is written in line with contemporary cognitive studies of language and devoted to identifying meaning content of the concept of “business” and its associative field, verbalized in modern speech of Russian students and definition of the role of foreign language elements in creating this field in Russian language. A linguistic associative experiment (both free and chain) is used as the main method of investigation. As a result of experiment interpretation a structure of the associative field of the concept of business is determined. The field consists of 8 semantic microfields: 1) processes that are typical for business; 2) business entities; 3) business attributes / institutions; 4) positive events and business results; 5) negative events and consequences; 6) personal characteristics of businessmen; 7) money; 8) economic / political terms, related to business. Specific weight of foreign language element in associative field of the concept of “business” is determined generally and in each semantic microfield. An analysis of the ratio of original and foreign language elements of the associative field has found that such microfields as «business attributes» and «business entities» are mostly represented by foreign words (loanwords and their derivatives). Foreign language elements influence verbalization of human and universal components of the semantic field of the concept of «business» such as personality traits and emotions. The conclusion correlates with the basic tendency to borrowing words from English into Russian language. To sum up, 40% of vocabulary of the associative field of the concept of “business” is foreign words

Description
Contemporary linguistics and discoursology regard means of author’s position expression to be an important part of a science. However, it should be stated that this aspect “author’s position expression” in scientific discourse has not been described in details. This article researches different lexical means of author’s position expression, actualized in different types of discourse: scientific science (based on geological texts). According to quantitative and qualitative data analysis of English and Russian texts, means of author’s position expression depend on directly on functional characteristics of the discourse itself and proper usage of them indicates and the cultural background of the author. Comparing English and Russian texts, the following was revealed: Russian authors pertain to (a) be reserve in expressing his/her own opinion; (b) employ impersonal constructions abundantly; (c) resort to the minimum use of those words expressing his/her personal opinion; (d) overload other author’s citations; and (e) use such follow-up lexical means that encourage the reader to understand the author’s conceptions or notions. The English corpus analysis showed that the authors, comparable to the Russian ones, are more explicit in expressing one’s opinions through pronouns, such as “I” and “we». In this case, the author’s position expression is less straightforward and more “shaded”. Due to the well-defined structure of English scientific texts the authors exclude the possible duplication of one’s opinions by expressing the author’s position on the issue discussed in the article both in the explicit and implicit ways
