10.00.00 Philological sciences
Description
The aim of our study is to determine the degree of speech influence of the utterances of Russian politicians in political debates. We analyze speech influence from the point of view of the category of intensity. By identifying the means expressing intensity in the Russian language we have calculated which and how many of them were used in Russian political debates. By using the methods of the strategic approach we have calculated which and how many of the means expressing intensity were used in the strategy of discredit and in the strategy of selfpresentation. By using the notion of the argument, the argumentative course and argumentative step we have created the argumentative structure of the utterances of Russian politicians, which may consist of one or more levels. The more levels are in the argumentative structure, the more intensive is the argument. So we have calculated the levels of each argument. We also considered the connection between the reasons. Linked arguments are more intensive than convergent ones. So we have calculated how many arguments with the linked connection and how many with the convergent connection there are in the analyzed political debates

IRONIC DISCOURSE IN "NOTEBOOKS" BY A. VAMPILOV
10.00.00 Philological sciences
Description
The article analyzes "Notebooks" by one of the most prominent playwrights of the 20th century Aleksandr Vampilov. "Notebooks" are considered as an example of ironic discourse in this genre. The study of irony nature in Vampilov’s “Notebooks” reveals the patterns of ironic discourse, which manifest themselves in the ironic light of serious domestic, moral, and professional problems. We perceive it today as intellectual and moral impetus, a special mood allowing us to survive, as self-protection of the individual from the pressure of reality. The irony in Vampilov’s "Notebooks" is achieved by the desire of getting away from the stereotypes of consciousness, obsolete dogmas. The irony "disallows" the eternal oppositions "new—old", "temporary—eternal", "subjective—objective", "art— life". The ironic game with terms, cliché expressions, denoting compromised political and ideological phenomena, with the concept of a name; the ironic interpretation of moon image as a leitmotif in Vampilov’s work reflect dominant ironic pathos of notebooks. The analysis of “Notebooks” by A. Vampilov allows us to understand the irony not only as a consequence of painful antinomicity, personal spiritual contradictions inherent to the artist of that time, but as a way of world vision: the ability to overcome the deadlock of crisis period, and aspiration of the creative personality to the desired integrity

The research highlighted that the given method draws excessive attention to common features of the considered characters, therefore, partially ignoring certain characteristics possessed by individual characters. There are good reasons to add the research of the word picture of the character as a part of the individual author world picture to the method. The article explains the rationale of a contaminated term "linguistic and cultural image" as the best one explains the individually expressed features of character, ethnoculturaly determined

10.00.00 Philological sciences
Description
This article was written in the mainstream of modern Lingua-pragmatic research and is dedicated to the analysis of the criteria for selecting keywords during the formation of a search query. The choice of this type of Internet communication is due, first of all, to the fact that the search query is a text consisting entirely of keywords, aside from that search query is used in everyday speech practice regularly and often. The article suggests possible criteria for the selection of keywords; we have developed a technique for analyzing the search query in a communicative aspect. The main methods studies were continuous sampling of the material, linguistic experiment and semantic and communicative analysis. Particular attention is paid to the difficulties arising in the analysis of requests in which the producer's intention is not clearly expressed. The results of the research are important for understanding the linguistic essence of the keyword, the principles of the formation of search queries and can be used in the analysis of keywords in different types of texts. Practical significance of the research is that taking into account the given criteria in the choice of keywords allows reducing the communicative risks arising in the process of the search query formation
